MAKINGs OF A HAPPY MAN.
Qualities That Mako Life a Joy For
Their Possessor.

Their Possessor.
We have noticed the happiest man
many a time. He works for his living,
and he gets a good one. One thing we
notice is he is a man of fine habits;
doesn't squander a cent on liquor, to-
bacco or betting. He saves his money
and Is getting ready to buy some prop
erty. He loves his home, plays with
the children, reads good books and
keeps company with his wife. Because
of his good habits he saves little
which will give him chance to make
an investment.
And then there is another thing-he
is reliable man. He does good work.
He will not smooth over bad work. He
is honest in whatever he does. Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much Of honest labor. 1t is this, large
ly. that makes him prosperous and
happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
do conduct and character and pros
perity. If man is mean and low, so
will the consequences be. He cannot
be one thing and his experience anoth-
er. A low lived man may grow rich
and happy, but it will not be for long.
Anybody can tell what's the matter
with a man If he is with him day.
He will soon see If the other Is q
spleen, a stomach, an uplift or hope.

Tho Last Ditch.

When William, prince of Orange,
afterward William III. of England,
was elected stakeholder Of the Unit
ed Netherlands in 1872 and found
himself in the midst Of war with
England and France he was asked
by the Duke of Buckingham wheth-
er he did not see ruin impending
over his country.
"Nay," he answered. "There is a
certain means by which I can be
sure enough not to see my country's
ruin. I will die in the last ditch. ;
And, rejecting all terms of peace,
he checked the invasion of France
by opening sluices and flooding ev-
try tract Of land, drove them from
Holland in 1874 and made honor
able terms with England and final
ly, after varying effort, brought the
war to a successful close by a treaty
with France in 1878.

Saving For q Sunny Day.

Jake Penticof was unique charac-
ter. He had large family, and, al
though he was reasonably diligent In
the use Of saw and ak on the village
wood piles, he frequently came to seek
aid from the city fathers.

Jake on one occasion. I'm all out,

The United States public health
service has issued a bulletin against
the rocking chair, the ''old armchair"
about which poets have woven some Of
their prettiest verse; the Office chair
and any sort Of a chair so comfortable
in form that it invites repose.
Not because germs Of deadly sort
lurk in the easy chair, upholstered or
plain. Not for that reason does the
health service Of our government con-
denim 1t, but because a man with an
easy chair at hand is likely to form
the habit Of sitting in it when he ought
to be up and around, taking exercise
that he must have IL he is to keep well.
The easy chair is to blame for much
of the heart and kidney disease, ap-
pendicitis and indigestion which af-
flict the business men of our day and
carry 80 many Of them of when they
ought to be in the prime Of life. These
diseases were almost unknown gen.

HIRED APPLAUSE.

Speaking Of applause in theaters
and the old time hired claquers, q
theatrical man relates the following
concerning the great actress Rachel:
cit, seems that upon g certain
opening night Rachel received en-
thusiastic applause, but on the sec
ond night it was so noticeably slim
that the actress felt deeply grieved
and bitterly complained that the
claque was not doing its duty. The
leader of the hired applause max
ers' on hearing of her displeasure
wrote her letter in which he en-
deavored to excuse himself from
any blame.
aMademoiselle, I cannot re-
main under the obloquy Of re-
proach from such lips as yours, he
began. The following is an au-
thentic statement of what really
took place: At the first representa-
tion / led the attack in person not
less than thirty-three times. We
had three acclamations, four hi
larities, two thrilling movements,
four renewals of applause and two
indefinite explosions. In fact, to
such an extent did we carry our ap-
plause that the occupants Of the
stalls were scandalized and cried
out a la porte!
"My men were positively ex-
hausted with fatigue and even init
mated to me that they could not
again go through such an evening.
Seeing such to be the case, 1 ap-
piled for the manuscript, and after
having profoundly studied the piece
I was obliged to make up my mind
for the second representation to
certain curtailments in the service

length to assure the actress he will
try to make future amends and re-
quests her to believe in his pro-
found admiration" Exchange.

Girl. In Guatemala.

None Of the maidens in Guatemala
are allowed to go abroad from their
homes without the company of chap
eron,. and a lover is only allowed to
come and court his sweetheart through
the heavily barred windows Of her
fathers home. After they are married
they pass along the streets in Indian

Controlling the Temper.

Good health is the first requisite Of
good temper. All one knows or feels
finds expression through the body.
Thought, will, action, are all influenced
by it's condition. Whatever impairs the
integrity of the body or disturbs the
harmony Of it's wonderful organization
creates discord for the whole being.
Unpleasant feelings due to ill health
are likely to produce corresponding un-
pleasantness of disposition. The dis
order, If prolonged, results in a bad
habit, thus becoming an element in in
dividual character. Deranged digestion,
vitiated blood and other impaired vital
processes are at the foundation Of
much of the irritability, impatience, ca
price, i'll temper and so called naughti-
ness of childhood.-Good Health.

There is no denying that Clean War

In the country. Anybody who tried to
gainsay that would be given the lie
