ONE PRIVILEGE OF DYsPEPTIc
At Least He Has Keen Enjoyment In
the Satisfaction Of Quench-
ing Thirst.

It is one of the few privileges of the
dyspeptic that he thoroughly under
stands what thirst is, and consequent
iy thoroughly enjoys the quenching of
it. Not for him the moderation of the
exasperatingly well-bafanced man who,
in the hottest weather, only moistens
his lips with little water, or at the
most washes out his mouth, but does
not swallow the cooling liquid.
No. the dyspeptic requires his drinks
to be very long. and either very cold
or very hot, and when in hot weather
the dyspeptic hears the tinkle of ice
and glass, and sees the dullness Of
frost on the outside of tumbler, he
knows that one of the pleasantest
physical sensations procurable for him
in this world is at hand.
His imagination is stirred, not only
by the thought of liquid matter pass
ing down his throat, but by the arti-
fetal differences of temperature which
he is about to produce, by the idea of
a cold glacial stream being poured into
the arid desert of his system.

Convincing Evidence.

Lord Morley used to tell q quaint
story Of man who was arrested by
the French during the Franco-Prus-
sian war. They found upon him a
letter from his mother, dated Berlin,
and jumping to the conclusion that he
was q German spy. in spite of his We
hement protestations that he was an
Englishman, condemned him to death.
AS he was being led to the place OF
execution he insisted that he had left
something behind him and must go
back for it. He was told that he could
not possibly go back, and was about
to be shot.

REAL SECRET OF HAPPINESS
Many Things Contribute to Condition
Which II Was Meant All
Should Enjoy.

1t would be well with us all II we
could learn that happiness is an as
celtic thing. It is the science OF sac
rifice. 1t is the art of denial. 1t is
the gospel of simplicity. Try to accus-
tom yourself to the great, grand, grave
realities of being, and Joy will roll
over you in pillows. The greatest,
grandest, and gravest reality In life
of man is that old, sweet splendor
called love. 1t has a thousand forms,
but in every form love is an ascetic
thing. 1t is giving up and giving
out. 1t is the enduring harmony of
life for man in the mass and for man
as an adventurer in search of Joy. II
we had the courage to solve all our
political and social and domestic prob
lens by resorting fearlessly to the
touchstone of love, there would be
very little suffering left in the state
and in the separate soul. But we
have not the courage, towards that
we are.
Yet we need not be towards all
our lives long. We can attain the
valiant peace that love confers If we
resolve to live in single and separate
moments dominated by its law. Our
soul can be set like an Aeolian harp,
ready to be breathed upon by the
wind Of hope that blows across the
good salt sea. The things that cor
rode our hearts are easily abandoned.
The rapture that is born of stern de-
NAL costs nothing. 1t is free to all.
1t is not to be bought with gold. All
that we need is the strength of will
to make our lives clear and clean
and sane in the service and alteration
of selfiess love. Can we do it as ma
tions? Can we do it as men?-James
Douglas.

The Mem of the Aran islands.

Later / met a man from the Aran
islands, which lie off the coast of Gal
way, far out of the world in the wind
and the rain, and he told me proudly
of the place. They're good people
there" he said. Il don't suppose you'd
find any better people anywhere in
the world And they're old-fashioned,
too; maybe that's the reason for it.
You'd see them wearing clothes they
made themselves, grown and woven
right there in the islands, and the
women wear shawls they've made
themselves. You'd see the pampoo-
ties, shoes made of cowskin, that they
use for walking on the rocks. They're
bold sailors, too, and daring; sure,
they have to be, and they go right
out in the Atlantic itself. They have
skin boats they go fishing in, with a
high bow to them, the like of that one
there. My uncle had hooker he used
to run, and he was lost of her-he was
anchoring one time, and somehow he
got the chain around his leg, and it
pulled him overheard, and drowned
him. But he was damn fool to get
caught so, God save him. "A. s. Hill

Why was the dispatch sent Id Eng
fish? Because English has begun to
supplant French as the language of
diplomacy. But to an italian ambas-
sador? There l can enlighten no one.
Prince Niklas was proud of his Eng
fish, and, as soon as the Marchese
had signed and had affixed the royal
seal, he took the precious paper in his
hands and ran like boy to the tele-
graph Office.
And that was the innocent dispatch
which sent Europe wild with wrath
and Joy few hours later, when the
news ran that the Italian ambassador
at Vienna had called upon the Emper-
or Franz Joseph and informed him
that Italy would maintain neutrality in
the impending struggle.
This done, the outburst of threats
against Italy prevented Victor from
disavowing his ambassadors state
ment. AS for old Niklas, he had hur-
ried back to Montenegro by the first
boat. and was already massing his
fighting men upon the slopes Of Cher
niagara, to lead them in aid of Serbia
against the hereditary foeman, across
the border.

Neiahborhood Parks Needed.

All of our cities need more small
neighborhood parks. The masses
must have breathing places and small
parks or squares best meet these re-
quirements. The development of cit
les should be controlled by the mu-
inequalities, and no tract put on tho
market except small area for park

a justifiable hold-up. There should be
