Two Receipts for Happiness.

I believe happiness comes from the harmony of a man's faculties with each other, and their activity. There is no happines for a man unless he is active, energetic and aspiring in support of some good cause. Supreme bliss is never to be reached by aiming at it, but comes as the reflex of a difficult duty done with delight. I should say the soul's fireside is duty well done.-Joseph Cook.

It is simple: When you rise in the morn ing f the resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-creature. It is easily done. A left off garment to the man who needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful; an encouraging expression to the strivingtrifles in themselves as light as air-will do it, at least for the twenty-four hours. And if you are young, depend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. Look at the result. person, only one, happily through the day; You send one that is three hundred and sixty-five in the course of the year; and suppose you live forty years only, after you commence this course, you have made fourteen thousand six hundred human beings happy, at all is it not simple, and is it not worth accomNow, worthy reader, plishing?-The London Atlas.

Cutting down thistles no more relieves the land of thistles than does scouring the scalp cure dandruff. In each case permanent re lief can only come from eradicating permanently the cause. A germ that plows up the scalp in searching for the hair root where it saps the vitality, causes dandruff, falling hair, and baldness. If you kill that germ, you'll have no dandruff but a luxuriant suit of hair. Newbro's Herpicide is the only hair preparation in the world that cures dandruff, falling hair and baldness by killing the germ. "Destroy the cause, you remove the effect."

In a recent issue of an English periodical ten well-known literary men discuss the programme for a perfect-day. Leslie V. Shairp thinks is a question of moods. F. W. Saunderson says the programme would spoil the day. The perfect day must be flawless, while Conrad Weguelin declare; with marked emphasis that "to make a programme for a perfect day would be a piece of presumption bordering on lunacy." deed he goes further and denies that there is such a thing as a "perfect day, and at if there were, a programme would mar it. "Happy days," he admits, sometimes come co us, but to pre-arrange happiness is to invite disaster. For instance, according to this pessimist, "you arrange to go boating; the day arrives. The sky is blue, the sun shines, the water gleams, everything is in your liver. perfect working order-bar

The seats in the boat are hard, and there is no room for your legs, and you bark your shins against the luncheon basket. The sun glares from above and below. Your joints hurt you, and the chatter of your companions drives you mad. You are angry and bore-angry because you ecognize the absurdity of your conduct, and You bored because you wish to be alone. know full well that if you had sat in the orchard and talked to the pigs you might have spent an almost perfect day."

But this is the point of view of a dyspeptic, and not to be too seriously considered. I must confess that Percy Kent's reminiscence pleases me better.

"One must be young," he remarks meditatively, "to plan a perfect day with any hope of its realization." He was young and,

"on the principle that forbidden pleasures are sweetest," he admits that every item on his programme was stricu prohibited.

On the morning of that "perfect day" which he recalls, he started, satchel in hand, fo school, ostensibly, that is, for at a spot previously appointed he met two other pleasure-seekers, similarly equipped. Their satchels were deposited in a convenient shed, and they turned their faces toward a neighboring town where there was a fair in progress. Their combined pecuniary resources, of which he became treasurer, amounted to five shillings and three pence. "I should hesitate now," he says on reflection, "before undertaking to provide any riends with a perfect day at nine pence per head." But it sufficed on this occasion, even to refreshments and the circus, and a balance of two pence remaining was invested in cigarettes which they enjoyed (?) on the way home. The day after-but that was not a perfect day. "The day after never is."

The Manufacture of Leather Goods.

The

The manufacture of fine leather goods, belts, ladies hand bags, purses, etc., has received quite an impetus during the last few years. The demand for such goods seems to be steadily increasing, and it may not be generally known that there is a place in Portland where fine hand-made embossed leather goods are manufactured in the most approved and up-to-date style. W. H. McMoines & Co., located on the corner of Front and Oak streets, have lately been making a specialty of such goods, and their work is attracting attention wherever shown. samples on exhibition at their store beautiful specimens of handiwork, and are well worth seeing. Though the establishment carries a large supply of various goods on hand, the manager says that most of their work is made up on special orders, as this gives the buyer a chance to show his individual taste, and to have something a little different from anybody else. McMonies & Co. employ about forty men in their establishment, which also deals extensively in harness, saddles and all other kinds of leather goods.
