Stenographic report could hardly do
Justice to Professor Phelps address
on Culture and Happiness" at Hawai-
ahao church last night He spoke
without manuscript or notes and in a
free,s flowing vein almost as informally
as an extemporaneous address. His
theme was developed from the defini-
ton of the word happiness, which he
had heard President Dwight of Yale
give, early in Professor Phelps uni
versity career.
1.-THE happiest person." he quoted
DR.. Dwight as saying, sis the person
who thinks the most interesting
thoughts"
This theory, which the speaker said
he had found from constant test in
the many years since he first heard It,
is perfectly sound, and if borne in
mind will make any normal person s
happiness assured. It's principle is
that happiness originates inside, not
outside the mind In other words, 1t
is not so much the we'll being of the
physical body as the state of mind
that makes for happiness.
How Virtue Is Proved.
Suppose you were to go to- an Of
ficer possessing certain large pow
ers and, stripping the interview Of its
non-essentials, say to him, I will give
you $500 If you will pass a certain
BILL and the man should reply, You
rotten scoundrel, get out of my office
that would not prove that the man
is honest. It would prove only that
you couldn't buy him for $500.
If you we're to go to him with $780,
600 and make the offer, and he should
even hesitate moment. even though
he kicked you out f'~ally, it would
prove that that mans virtue was de-
pendent upon something outside him.
, self: that his happiness depended up
on the outside world rather than upon
his own soul aud mind" <
He poked fun at the common con-
ception of childhood as the happiest
period of life. The fond imagination
pictures childhood as absolutely care
free and unfettered by responsibility.
The child is fed when it is hungry.
plays all day long and is put to bed
when it becomes sleepy.
Put To Bed In Time.
Not So" objected Professor Phelps
He is Mt to bed before he is sleepy.
That's always the case. Ny recollec.
ton of early life is that the Fourth
CT July was the greatest day Of the
year. Why? Because l was told that
could get up at midnight and so
out and yell until sunrise. And I did
got up and went out and yelled until
day broke or the constable came
around and made me quit
Il can go out tonight, after l get
through talking to you, and yell until
the sun comes up tomorrow morning
if l want to and your police don't
stop me; but l have got beyond such
pleasures. I have new and better
! plea sures to take its place

Training Fleas.

One OF the attractions at street carnival
in Cheryvale, Kan, was troupe OF train
ed fleas. The professor" in charge Of
this exhibit was explaining TO Albert
Stroud about the flea performance. He
said 10 a Kansas City Star reporter:
1.-The teaching OF the flea to do any
sort of trick is, OF course, tedious, diff
cult matter. The first thing 10 do is TO
break them OF their natural habit ofiump-
ing.
Zone can see how necessary this is
when one considers that the insect is less
than one-eighth OF an inch in length, has
jump of three feet, thus 300 times its
own length. III six-foot man had the
same leaping power he could make leaps
OF 800 feet, so that when flea has the
advantage OF one leap he is good as gone
forever. Ny apparatus for jump break
ing is round glass ball. confine him
in this for three weeks. | look through
this ball, touch II, flash lights into it, talk.
do everything TO let the flea accustom
himself TO my presence. At first he will
jump and jump. He strikes against the
curved wall and gets bruised. After a
time, and find three weeks TO be ample,
the flea gets TO know me, and he also
gets to know that il is less painful 10
crawl than to jump and get bruised.
"The ilea cannot differentiate between
transparent glass and no glass, so that
when take him from the ball he still
strikes this peculiar obstruction, and so
he doesn't jump. So you see, flea must
have some reasoning power somewhere,
but am in no position TO say where il is
located. That is why have to pick them
up with tweezers and put them on my
arm when want 10 feed them. They
don't dare TO jump on me-"

For Farmers Who Fight Flies.

Farmers whose barns an1 outhouses
are infested by flies in the summer may
be interested in learning how TO Danish
the pests. According to Bloemfontein
Friend, a farmer who had many cows
housed in different sheds saw, without
being able to prevent if, the annoyance
TO which the animals were subjected.
He happened, however, to observe that
one shed, with the walls OF somewhat
blush tint, was free from lies, and the
COWS were unworried by their attacks.
Thereupon he added bit of blue color
to The lime with which he colored the
walls OF his sheds, and from that time
the flies deserted the premises.
The following is the formula he used
in providing this effective specific against
flies: To twenty gallons OF water add
ten pounds Of slaked lime and one pound
OF ultramarine. The wash should be ap-
piled twice during the summer.

Underground Streams.

There are many curious underground
streams in the United States. The rivers
OF western Oklahoma and the panhandle
of Texas sink beneath their sandy beds
during the droughts OF summer, but they
still flow. lfyou sink pit into an appar-
emily dry river bed and lime il with sand
strainer, you can see the water flowing
slowly across the pit.
Much of the water that falls in the Ozark
region OF Missouri draiusaway in subieua-
mean rivulets and rivers. Where these
streams come to the surface they are
called springs, and The largest of the
springs form rivers that are navigable for
small boats. The Meramec River heads
in such spring; so do Current River,
White River, and the GaSconade.
Big Lake, Arkansas, is supposed to
have subterranean connection with the
Mississippi River, for the lake rises and
falls with the rise and fall ofthe Mississippi.
OFF The Missouri shore the big river has
whirlpool that's menace TO small boats.
The wateralways eddies about this whirl-
pool; but when the river is high, there IS
an intake, and when the stream is low
the water is driven upward. When the
river is high, small craft have been sucked
down and never seen again, and tradition
says that even steamboats, have foundered
in this eddy. An underground stream
from Big Lake is believed TO emerge al
this point.
On the "bluifS" OF the Illinois side.
opposite South st. Louis, are the 'sinks."
The water here does notdrain into streams,
but runs into sink holes, which are saucer
shaped depresSions with a hole in the
bottom. From thirty 10 fifty feet beneath
the surface there is bed OF limestone
rock. The rock has broken down in
places, and the surface has sunk with il.
The stratum OF rock is undermined, and
there is great, irregular cave beneath
through which the water flows.
A man digging well in the sink-hole
country struck rock, through which he
was obliged 10 drill and blast. One OF the
blasts knocked the bottom out OF the
well, and fifteen feet below an under
ground stream was running. Two or
three curious and adventurous young men
went down 20 explore the subtenanean
creek. Theytrsveled underground about
eight miles, and made their way out
through sink hole. The creek they
followed emerges at Falling Spring, where
the water breaks out from the iace OF the
bluff in a fall OF thirty feet, and forms a
good-sized creek.
Some OF the sink holes have no fissure
at the bottom, AID become ponds.
Sometimes farmer stops upthe venthole,
in order TO make pond. A man named
Johnson once threshed his wheat and
stacked the straw in the bottom Of sink
hole. Whether he expected this result
or not, the drainage hole was stopped up,
the water rose until it submerged most
OF his farm. backed into an adjacent de-
preston, and formeda pond three hundred
yrrds wide, half a mile long. and forty
feet deep in places. People came from
twenty miles round 10 fish in Johnson's
Pond.

The State Geological Survey OF West
Virginia will cooperate this season with
the U. s. Department of Agriculture in
soil surveys of Berkeley, Jefferson and
Morgan counties. The work will be be-
gun shortly, il is expected. Under the
cooperative arrangement adopted for
these soil surveys, the Geological Survey
pays the expenses OF the field work,
while the federal government pays the
salaries OF the men and bears the expense
OF inspecting the work and publishing
the report for each county. This report
will be accompanied by a large map
showing in colors the location Of the
various kinds of soils with reference TO
roads, schools, churches, water-courses
and other features of the county. The
nature Of the soils, their adaptabiIity Tor
various crops and suggestions for the
most advantageous Use Of fertilizers will
also be discussed in detail, together with
full information on existing agricultural
conditions. Several months will be re-
quired to prepare the report and map at
ter the survey has been completed.

Guarding The Calves.

While we were driving over the open
range in the Texas panhandle, writes a
Companion reader, we came on an old
COW surrounded by dozen young calves,
some OF which were rot more than two
days old. There was not another COW in
sight. The spectacle reused my curiosity.
! asked my driver, veteran cowman,
what it meant. He was quite ready with
this explanation:
THAT old COW is doing guard duty 10
that bunch OF calves while their mothers
are away after water. In this country the
water holes are far apart and the grass is
thin. In order 10 get sufficient feed, cat
tie must Craze over wide extent OF range,
and calves are often born several miles
distant from water. The mother COW
needs drink long before her calf is old
enough TO travel with her to the nearest
water hole. So she must leave her young
behind while she goes after water
Evolves are so numerous that the calf
cannot safely be left alone. These animals
will attack and kill calves several weeks
old if they are left unguarded. So b y
some sort OF understanding one OF the
mother cows is left to guard whole
bunch of calves while the other cows 60
for water. When the others return, she
will leave her own calf in their charge
and 90 for her daily drink. On succeed
ing days the other COWS with calves viii
turns their turns at doing guard duty. >.
Several yearsago rode up toa bunch
of calves like this one. AS came up
saw the old cow make dash at some
animal in the tall grass. All first could
not make out what it was, put it proved
to be large gray wolf, or 'loafer, as he
is called by the cowboys. which had tried
to steal up on very young calf.
"The COW and the wolf were both so
busy with their own affairs just then that
they paid no attention 10 me. The old
cow was rushing the wolf off his feet,
and several times came near gorlng him.
There was shallow hole between me
and the calves, and after several narrow
escapes the wolf decided he had better
get under cover. SO he tucked his tail
between his legs and made dash for
that hole with the cow close behind him.
As his body shot into the hole she made
another vicious pass at him, but missed
again.
"Sheh had him out ofthe way now, and in
order to keep him so took her stand over
the hole to hold him prisoner. The hole
was not deep enough to let him get en-
tirely out OF sight, out he was safe enough
as long as he remained at the bottom.
Every time he tried to get out he found
the old cow with lowered horns ready to
run him through.
81 sat there on my horse for nearly an
hour watching the seige. Then | rode up
and killed the wolf with my revolver. AS
soon as the old cow saw that her enemy
was dead, she turned away and went TO
grazing as unconcernedly as il nothing
out OF the ordinary had taken place" +"

s3S,0OO For Two Foxes.

Prince Edward Island, lying northeast
OF the State OF Maine. has within a few
years developed silver fox industry OF
enormous proportions. Climatic condi-
lions for the enterprise are considered
more favorable there than anywhere else.
There are 233 fox ranches, OF which
l0l are owned by incorporated compan-
les. In these ranches are nearly $500
foxes OF all grades, OF which ,325 are
classed as silver black.
The provincial government derives a
revenue OF per cent OF The young foxes
born from year 10 year. and last year s37.-
600 was collected. Al present the value
of the foxes and the ranches on the island
is more than SIC, ,OO0, 900. which Is Is per
centin excess OF The value OF all the horses.
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry on the
well stocked farms OF The province.
The value OF silver fox skins is shown
by the fact thft at the great auction sale
in ST. Louis. some single undressed skins
brought 81 600 each. II is not uncommon
for a coat OF silver fox TO cost from S, 600
to $4,000.
The rise of the value OF the first-class
breeding stock OF Prince Edward Island
has been meteoric. 10 1910 a pair OF
silver fox breeders could be bought for
81 1000; today they bring from $4,000 to
$4,000. The average female fox will
breed eight 10 ten times during her lite
and each litter will contain from two TO
seven pups.
The silver fox is reilly black fox,
instead. as some persons suppose, OF be-
ing almost white or silver gray. The
name is given on account OF the presence
OF gIistening white and grayish hairs
which appear among the black. In the
better grades the long, silky brush has a
tip OF pure white.
About quarter OF century ago the
little animal, which weighs when hull
grown only about II pounds. became al
most extinct. Because OF the beauty oi
its fur, the species was trapped until the
last OF them had disappeared, Foralong
time the standard price offered by the
Hudson Bay Company for silver fox pelis
was around 81 900. and the efforts oi the
French Canadians, half-breeds and ln-
dian irappers 10 obtain this sum, TO them
a fortune, can be better imagined than de-
scribed.

Lessons Of Experience.

learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind
That much have counted sorrow
But proves our God is kind;
That many flower Ilonged for
Had hidden thorn or pain.
And many rugged by path
Led to fields Of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun.
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done.
We must stand in the deepest sorrow
To see The clearest light.
And often from wrongs own darkness
Comes Che very strength OF right.
We must 1--we through the weary winter
live would value the spring.
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers mast be buried in darkness
Before they could bud and bloom,
And the sweetest and warmest sunshine
Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest Joy OF all.
And from lips that have tasted sadness
The sweetest songs will fall
For as peace comes after suffering.
And love is reward OF pain,
So after earth comes heaven
And out oil our loss the gain.
