HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
The Qoalnt and Homely Philosophy of
Being Non-Kxpectant.
An old gentleman who was noted for
his tranquility and generally quiet and
unruffled temper, was once asked the
secret of his happiness. "I cannot say
that I am what one would call happy,"
he answered, "but I am well 'non
expectant' would probably fit the case
better than any term I could use. I
think a great deal of the unhappiness
of this world comes from expecting im
possibilities, therefore I long ago taught
myself to take with thankfulness what
ever came that was not actually eviL"
That man lived long and died happy
at a good old age. More than this, he
was universally respected and loved
and was a welcome guest at every fire
side where he was acquainted And
this, not alone because he chanced to
be agreeable and not troublesome, but
because he always carried with him a
fund of quaint, homely philosophy,
which fitted into the chinks of every
day life and smoothed down rough
places, and so cushioned over the sensi
tive spots of humanity that the buffet
ing of the world touched them too
gently to hurt Unhappy or unfortu
nate man, woman or child never parted
company with him that there was not
a more complacent expression on
the troubled countenance and a
little gleam of comfort and
rest in the heart made sore
by trial and suffering. And yet his
only theory was contained in the
words: "Well, well, child, don't you
expect too much of people and things."
And there were always a bit of illustra
tion, an anecdote, a dry joke, a twist of
a word, which emphasized and punctu
ated his philosophy, and left their im
pression on the mind of the listener.
He never indulged in what might be
called "preaching," but was so full of
homely commonplaces and what he
used to call "seven-days-in-the-week
patience," that it was more restful and
refreshing than the most brilliant ora
tory or the most finished discourse.
There are so much health, wealth and
peace of mind in the non-expectant
idea, that one can but wonder that
more attention is not given to the pro
pagation of it, and more full explana
tions of its beauties and blessings.
Who has not made preparations for a
journey or an excursion with the high
est anticipation filling the mind, with
everything favorable and everybody
apparently bent on having the best
possible time, only to come back bored
and disappointed and almost, if not
quite disgusted? And again, when
starting out on some expedition of
pleasure or business or both, how many
times have we been dragged, as it were
actually forced, by circumstances to go
somewhere or do some necessary thing?
And how often is it that the errand
or visit proves to be one of long-remembered
events of our lives, result
ing, perhaps, in advantages or profits
never before enjoyed? But most of us
learn nothing from experiences of this
sort. We go on in a blind way, some
times relating our happy experiences,
but almost always speaking of them as
Buch queer circumstances or strange
happenings.
We shut our eyes to the fact that all
of this is the result of clearly defined
laws and conditions, that we were in a
non-expectant state and not full of un
reasonable hopes and longings; there
fore agreeable things, even those of
minor consequence, gave us the keenest
pleasure
If, on the other hand, we had started
out expecting to find everything rose
colored, and full of the idea that all
things were to be arranged to suit our
whims and fancies and fit in with our
caprices, the chances are that at the
first turn there would be some break
in the chain of affairs or some unfavor
able phase would present itself and
throw us into an irritable
mood, which would last for the
rest of the trip It is so easy to
be disappointed when once the
mind is made up to the prospect of un
interrupted pleasure; so easy to let the
brightness of life drift by us while we
grumble about our petty misfortunes.
How much better it would be to curb
our capricious hopes and fancies and
take a more reasonable view of things.
It is unreasonable and silly to imagine
that matters will always go our way.
Indeed when we sit down quietly and
look the situation squarely in the face
we know that they will not do so; for
the course of life is a very crooked and
twisted affair, and its paths are full of
thorns and uneven places, and there
are many obstacles and slippery steeps
along its line. Why, then, is it not
more wise to recognize the fact and to
calculate accordingly?
To realise the uncertainty of all of
our plans, and then to take into con
sideration the fact that the little pleas
ure we derive from life is really all
clear gain, are to have solved the prob
lem of life. It will save us many dis
appointments and heartaches if we can
adopt and live up to the motto:
' 'Blessed are they who expect nothing,
for they shall never be disappointed "
N. Y. Ledger.
Spring Costumes.
Handsome spring costumes of black
or very dark green brocade, are made
with prinoesse redingote back and oorse
let front with guimpe of crepe de
Chine showing above. A Breton or
Zouave jacket-piece in a half-circle
shape is added, and sewed on with the
under-arm seams. A lovely dress oi
fawn gray brocade shot with pink has
a princesse back, with an Empire belt
from the side seams, made of exquisite
ly tine cut jet passementerie, which
widens in front into a deep corselet that
arches high on the bust Pale rose
colored silk is laid under this open
patterned jet The shoulder seams are
lengthened and the huge shoulder puffs
are of the brocade. The close forearm
portions qf the sleeves are faced with
the pink that shows beautifully through
its jet covering. The flaring bell skirl
is trimmed with a fan-plaited ruche
about four inches wide, that is lined
with pink and caught down at interval!
with dangling jet ornaments. N. Y.

QUEER HAIR-DRESSING.
The Operation as It Is Performed Upon the
Natives of Central Africa.
Puring the hot hours of mid-day,
when all actual labor is suspended in
the village, the natives, wrged by van
ity and national pride, devote a ' groat
deal of time to the arrangement of their
odd but elaborate toilet. Hair-dressing
is one of the principal obligations, and
constitutes one of the numerous domes
Mp .djties allotted to the "fair" sex. On
a reed mat spread out in some shady
corner the woman it is do wn, and the
man upon whom the operation is to be
performed reclines at full length, rest
ing his head in her lap She begins at
once to unplait his hair, and soon has it
all ravelled, and then, with a coarse
wooiaeu instrument resembling a child's
toy rake, she comW u thoroughly until
it is clear of all entanglements,' ami
stands out all over the head in a thick
bushy mass six or seven inches deep It
is now generously greased with oil from
the palm nut The woman then parts
it oft into -.cctions, and very soon the
coarse bunch of haiv, level' manipu
lated by her nimble fingers, is o.vea
down closely to the head. They dis
play a good deal of ingenuity
in forming a variety of designs.
Sometimes a series of little plaited
stranns, iike rat (ails, hang in a fringe
all around 'the head, ftfteft Qftli4 plaits
of hah about the size of a goafs horn
are made to stand put from the bead in
different styles. Two of these will ap
pear sprouting from the top of the
head, or one will drop over the fore
head and lie along the nose. A very
popular fashion is to have a roll of hair
along each side of the head, ending in
two solid plaits, which curl over each
cheek like sheep's horns. Both men
and women have the hair treated in
the same way.
The plaiting operation is also ex
tended to the man's beard. The mus
tache is removed, and so are the eye
brows, with a razor, which is a small
cheese-cutter blade with a long slender
handle. This is used somewhat as we
hold a pen, and the stubbly hair is
really chiselled off the face, no small
amount of it being dragged out by the
roots. Tribal custom compels its re
moval, and the African is so insensible
to pain that the means employed do
not inconvenience him in the least
Often when undergoing this treatment
he falls asleep, and never betrays any
discomfort E J. Glave, in Harper's
Young People.
SOWN BY GLACIERS.
How Borne Spring Flowers Are Distrib
uted. The causes of the widespread glacia-
tion of the land we live in are obscure
and a good deal of difference of opinion
exists in regard to them. Some think
that to suppose an elevation of the
northern ends of the continents will
account for all that took place; since
the higher the land the higher the cli
mate in general, so that what once fell
as rain afterwards falls as snow, the
raw material of glaciers. Others sug
gest a change in the shape of the ocean
basins, cutting of the warm currents
that now carry the heat of the tropic
seas toward the poles. Still others fol
low Croll in thinking that the cause of
the cold is to be looked for in changes
of the earth's orbit which slowly varies
in eccentricity from age to age. The
result must be that at points of high ec
centricity in one hemisphere the winter
is long and cold, When it occurs
in the part of the orbit farthest from
the sun, while the summer is short and
hot Of course just the reverse takes
place in the opposite hemisphere.
Which of these theories is the more cor
rect or whether two or more of them
should be combined is not easy to de
cide. The one thing certain is that at
one time, or perhaps several times, our
hemisphere became largely encased in
ice, which melted a few thousand
years ago, and that the flowers we pluck
in the spring owe their distribution
largely to the procesa Strange, is it
not that a tiny wild flower should bear
in its mere presence at one spot or an
other evidence of the profoundest sig
nificance in the life of a world? If we
had a complete history of the wander
ings and dangers undergone by a sin
gle tribe of these little beautifiers of
the bare woods of spring, how full of
interest it would be to the geologist
the botanist and every lover of flowers
and of nature! Prot A. P. Coleman, in
Chautauquan.
UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
The Walter Knew something Was Going
to Happen.
He walked into the restaurant with
yearning, half-famished look in his
eyes.
It was not the finest restaurant in the
city, but he seemed oblivious of the
fact as he eagerly scanned the bill of
fare.
"Bring me some mutton chops," he
said to the obsequious waiter.
"I can't jes' recommend de chops,
sah," replied the waiter.
"Why not?"
"'Cause dey's all gone any morel''
"Then get me a beefsteak and be
quick about it"
The beefsteak was a demoralized
looking specimen and of adamantine
consistency. The waiter watched him
gleefully as he hacked off a corner and
conveyed it to his mouth.
There was a suppressed groan. Our
hero had broken a tooth in an ill-advised
attempt at mastication.
"Is you superstitious, sah?" inquired
the waiter.
"No Why do you ask?"
"'Cause you is de thirteenth pusson
wot tried to eat dat erdentical piece of
beefsteak, and none of 'em couldn't do
nuthln' wid it. I knowed sumfin were
agwine to happen shuah!" Detroit
VALUE OF FORESTS.
They Are Nature's Regulators or Her
Water Supply.
The value of forests in the preserva
tion of water during times of drought
in the prevention of destructive floods
and in the regulation of climates is
gradually being recognized on all sides.
We see the result of this recognition in
the various movements for the planting
of trees and setting aside of forest reser
vations. Just as man's existence upon
this planet would have been impossible
had not the pre-existing trees furnished
a rich vegetable mold to give fertility
to the soil, so the entire extinction of
the forests now would in time bring
mankind to a disastrous end
In order to understand how important
forests are in regulating the water sup
ply let us imagine a scene which hat?
been realized in thousands of places in
our country. Picture to yourself a
broad hill, with long, sloping sides,
surrounded with pleasant meadows,
fruitful orchards and rich grain fields.
A majestic forest covers the hill, and
clear brooks that never run dry come
dancing and sparkling down its flanks,
carrying refreshment to the surround
ing country. In the forest, with its
Jeep bed of leaves and moist soil, there
is a perpetual reservoir that absorbs the
rain when it falls plentifully and that
retains some to feed the brooks when the
long, dry seasons come.
But the scene changes ; lumbermen
invade the forest and rob it of its noblest
trees. What the lumberman leaves the
farmer, as if he would kill the goose
that laid his golden eggs, destroys and.
feeds to the flames. The great hill la
Dared, and the plow turns up its soil to
the sun. The farmer has gained many
acres of valuable land, and presently
he will learn what he has lost
A dry season comes, and In a little
while the brooks are empty, and the
neighboring valleys are suffering from
an unprecedented drought Nature's
great reservoir on the hill has been de
stroyed ; there is no water to be had to
giye renewed life to the perishing crops,
and for the first time in its Wtetn&X t-ftk'
once fertile countryside fails to give a
bountiful return to its cultivators.
Then follows a rainy season. Floods
of water pour down upon the bare back
of the great hill, and being no longer
retained, as they onoe were, by the
iott root-matted soil of the forest, they
nil' the' dry'brookfc au4 ftactl styeU
them into raging torrents which plow
huge gullies through the land, torn
the fertile soil into mud and sweep it
away, and spread ruin and destruction
on all sides.
When the floods are past the farmer
finds that hi Ml top is becc-r.e a bar
ren waste of rock and gravel, and' that
his meadows and grain lands have been
robbed of their power to bestow wealth
and plenty upon him Neither he nor
his children nor his children's children
mav be able to repair the damage
done. "It may j-tuire two or thrwe

LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE.
tint Impulses la 1 his Matter Are Often
Uetter Than After Thoughts.
To write a letter of congratulation on
a happy event in the history of a friend
is a comparatively easy task. Words
of cheer and felicitation fall trippingly
from the pen as from the tongue. The
letter of condolence requires more care,
more delicacy, a greater comprehension,
a fuller recognition of the friend's char
acter and environment Many people
hesitate to write their thought of
sympathy to one who is suffering un
der the first surprise and bewildering
shock of deep bereavement The im
pulse is strong to put forth a hand in
the dark and give the warm clasp which
means "I am sorry," "I grieve in your
grief," T would help you if I could,"
but quick upon Its heels tread the sug
gestions of caution. "I do not know
her well enough to intrude," whispers
an instinctive refinement of pity. "My
rude thrusting in of myself would only
tear open the wound afresh." "Should
I attempt to speak words of consola
tion they would sound like platitudes,
appear conventional or perfunctory."
The arguments are often so reasonable
In their appeal to common sense that
the original tender impulse is resolutely
crushed back; one prays for one's friend,
but does not directly address her.
In most cases the silence is a mis
take' Occasionally it is better than
speech, we grant particularly when
those of whom we think are mere ac
quaintances, not even in the outer circle
as yet of friendship, or when the
sufferers are specially shy of manner
and reticent of nature.
Usually, however, the letter of con
dolence, if short, earnest and sincere,
is an olive branch of promise borne as
by a very messenger dove of peace over
the wild, whirling waste of snow. The
simpler it is the surer its errand of
mercy. The sooner it is sent the more
speedily Its tender balm is laid on the
aching heart On the whole, it is al ways
very nearly safe to trust to the early
friendly impulse, and to disregard the
later detaining hand of caution. Ilarp
er's Bazar.
Fruit Pies.
One of the best ways to make pies
from small juicy fruits is to cook the
fruit separately, thicken it with a lit
tle flour or corn starch, and pour into
the shell after it is baked The best
meringue for such pies is one of
whipped cream As pie-crusts when
baked without a filling are apt to puff
and rise unevenly, lay over the shell
before baking an oiled paper, such as
confectioners use. Then put in a fill
ing of small squares of stale bread that
you wished browned for garnishing
soup, or other usea An apple pie made
without any under crust and with ap
ples cut in halves, dusted with salt to
develop their flavor, and sprinkled with
sugar, Is delicious. In dishing such a
pie use a large spoon. Any apple pie
will be found more delicate if made
without spices of any kind. When ap
ples begin to lose their flavor, sprinkle
them with the juice and grated yellow
peel of an orange or lemon. N. Y.

OF GENERAL INTEREST.
An appropriation of 187,000 was
made at the last session of congress to
pay employes of the bureau of engrav
ing and printing, but in the engrossing
the thousands were dropped, and as
signed by the president the bill appro
priates $37.
Many noticeably courteous and
agreeable people are boorish and disa
greeable to the last degree in the f am
lly circle As George Eliot pertinently
remarks of one of her characters: "She
was accustomed to think that entire
freedom from the necessity of behaving
agreeably was included in the Al
mighty's intention about families."
Dr. John Hazel wood, of Eckerty,

came into his possession through his
maternal grandmother, whose grand
