How to Be Happy.

There are two ways of being happy,
We may either diminish our wants or
augment our means. Either will do.
The result is the same, and it is for
each man to decide for himself and do
that which happens to he the easier. If
you are idle or sick or poor however
hard it may be to diminish your wants.
it will be harder to augment your
means. If you are active and prosper
Gus or young or in good health it may
be easier for you to augment your
means than to diminish your wants.
But if you are wise you will do both at
the same time, young or old, rich or
poor, sick or Wen, and if you are very
wise you viii do both in such Il way as
to augment the general happiness of
society. benjamin Franklin.

THE HOLLYHOCK.

was IEown iii India before it flung its
cheerful. l8nncrs to the air in rales

Wherever its first home was, it has
become thoroughly acclimated in New
ENGLAND. We think of it as a charac
teriStic New England flower. 1t deco
rates our colonial history almost back
TO the days of Governor Bradford ami
Roger Williams. 1t is forever pccring
out of the pages of New England tic-
ton and poetry. There is no flower
that more completely embOdtcs the
spirit of our eighteenth century ro-
nance.
Some of the old colonial blossoms are
shy and modest, but the hollyhock has
the courage of its convictions. 1t
knows its beauty, as it should, and
has no mind to hide it under a blshcl
or beneath a hcdgerow. 1t is the prov

vauntingly. but with due sense of its
worth. And the hollyhOck, the state

Conditions on the w. P. are hardly

fore the S. p. trains.
The v. & II. road running from

LOSSES THROUGH
IMMIGRATION DROP

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 15.-Speaking
before the convention OF the Society
to Eliminate Economic Causes OF War
in Faneuil Hall this afternoon, Walter
Wood, Philadelphia machinery man
ufacturer, said the United States, is
losing $34s.OoO,00O a year. or, rather,
falling to gain that amount, through
the drop in immigration caused by
the war.
He said, LIN part, s->- -sl-- ----L-.... 8.
THE total excess of the incoming
over the outgoing in the year, ending
June 30th, 1915, was but 122, 1000. This
is but II per cent of the smallest fig
ures of any of the past nine years.
1T seems unnatural, and in some
degree shocking, to place a value upon
human being as a machine for pro-
ducing wealth, but so long as the well
fare of the world is dependent upon
tne industry of its people, so long will
this value be real.
Some of us can recollect how, but
a little over fifty years ago, likely
colored woman-especially If two or
three young children were thrown In
would bring OH an auction block
from $400 to $500. A stalwart male
negro worker would fetch from $500
to $500. And when they were skillful
in trades. from $500 to $1,000.
But more to the point is the cost
of raising the newcomer from his
childhood to his productive age.
For feeding. clothing. and the other
necessaries of life, even in a country
where existence is the cheapest, we
would hardly calculate such cost as
less than $500 per unit.
"The country losing this emigrant
loses this sum of money. The country
receiving him gains that value without
any payment.
"On the basis Of this value, namely,
$500 per head, the largest emigrant
crop that this country has had in any
one year, has been worth to the Ma
tion, 1885, 100000.
"The emigrant crop OF last year was
worth but little over s36000.000.
This loss to the country is as great
as the value of any of the leading
crops except corn, and equals prac-
tically 80 per cent of that crop"

NEW YORK, Jan. speaking be-
fore the New York State Bar Associa-
tion here this evening, Justice Charles
E, Hughes of the U. S. Supreme Court
called attention to the moral vigor
which the great war will give to those
in the belligerent nations who survive
the struggle. Americans should recog.
nize this factor, he declared, and pre-
pare TO bring their own characters to
a like stimulation.
Justice Hughes said. in part:
I'VE shall never rise to our oppor-
tunities in this country and secure
proper discharge of the public busi-
ness until we get over our dislike OF
experts; and the difficulties in the
way of needed improvements in the
administration of justice will not be
overcome by tying the hands of those
most competent to deal with them.
And this leads me to speak briefly,
in conclusion, of the urgent needs of
reform in judicial procedure. We
have very unnecessary differences
with respect to different courts. The
essentials of procedure are simple, and
they should conform to one simple
type with only such notifications as
are necessary to adapt it to differ.
ences in jurisdiction. We have be-
come accustomed to a network of leg
islative rules of practice which In
their compleXity are a reproach 10 the
State. The remedy. l believe, is TO
replace these rules with a few statu-
tory provisions forming the basis of
procedure, leaving all the details to
be supplied by rules of court. The
important equity practice of the Fed
6ral courts of the country is governed
without difficulty by a few rules pro-
mulgated by the Supreme Court
There is no other way, it seems to me,
to give the requisite simplicity and
elasticity to procedure.
There may be a prejudice among
lawyers TO committing this power to
the bench because of the fear that
rules of practice will be removed from
the range of the just influence of the
