When she was about fourteen her father apprenticed her In ono of the big drapery establishments In the West land of London, but wo don’t know which. Sho didn’t go to NOW Zealand with her father. Further than that we know nothing about her.’ •Then I am not youryoungeat aunt!" ’’I don’t know, X am sure,” was my reply. "I *n> twenty-six,” confected aunt Gertrude. "Then, if Annie Is living, I have an nunt nearly seven years younger. X said, she Is younger than I by a few months,” Aunt Gertrude sighed, turned some what abruptly from tho picture, and walked through tho open window on to tho verandah. The view from our Verandah Is prob ably as good as froni nny point In Buf- folk distant from the coast. Accept ing ns truth a popular fallacy somo wilt think this Is faint praise, hut thoHo acqOMntad with the county will hardly so regard It No part of Eng land la less esteemed by English peoi t pla than the eastern counties, hut this, 1 /Ito many other of our national preju-’ dices, does not admit of any explana tion. The absurd fact remains, rolling country, highly cultivated hers and there, Interspersed with abnnd- nnee of wild open spaces and woods .which shelter immonso quantities of Kamo, with a rainfall tho most moder ate In Britain, would, It might well bo supposed, attract many visitors—espe cially from London, l-ut It Is not so, nnd East Anglia Is left very much to East Angllans, particularly In that part of It called Suffolk. Tho weather was delightful, tho clear blue sky being streaked hero and thcro with slowly moving white clouds, the temperature mild nnd refreshing, tho sCUshlno brilliant—a spring morning fraught with every condition to pro mote health nnd buoyancy of spirit. Aunt Gertrude shaded her eyes with her hand nnd looked out toward tho old abbey town. Bury St. Edmund’s, eight miles distant, could bo faintly discerned, separated from us by a lino stretch of undulating country. “How delightfully green everything is lu England!” exclaimed my aunt enthusiastically. '‘Particularly tho people,” observed o. volco at our baok. Tho volco belonged to undo Sam Turning round wo saw that gentleman just within tho room, standing In a Jaunty attitude, Ills hands la his pock ets, chewing tho end of nn unllghtcd cigar. My father was with him and ha-1 a pair of field-glasses In his hand. This unexpected Interruption ap peared to annoy my aunt “You aro not very complimentary to yOur own people,” sbq said, slightly tossing her dsllcntdy poised head. Her husband perceived her mood. “All right, my dear,” ho said, In his most ntfablo manner, as ho stepped on to tho verandah, "I forgot for tho mo ment that some Americans aro moro Englishman tho English themselves. Just let mo look at tho boundary lino of this placo and X am gone." Bo say lng bo took tho flold-glassos from my father, who remained within, nnd sur veyed tho prospect for a couplo of min utes, Having completed his observa tion ho mado no further remark, but re-entered tho room and disappeared 'with Ms brother. It was not long before my nunt nnd I followed. Wo went through n mini ber of rooms, somo of them named af ter distinguished guests who had oc cupied thorn long ngo-Camden, Swift, Addison, Butler, rurcoll and others of loss note—tho lady evincing greater In terest In tho quaint furniture than in tho historical associations to which I Endeavored to direct her attention. In this way did I amuse my aunt for thr.-o boon, conducting her at last through tho clean, dry atone crypt, which formed tho basement of tho house. This crypt was very ancient, being tho only. unaltered portion of th« old abbey which anpplicd tho alto, ' nnd In part tho material, for Holden- hurst Hall. Tho atonowork of tho spa cious arches scorned qulto uninjured by time; and, though they contained much lumber, there still remained om- ple room for a procession of monks to pass through thorn. Aunt Gertrudo was much Interested, and constantly piled mo with questions about the hab its of th« original ecclesiastical occu pants as X preceded her through this Strangs place, lantern In hand. MM“Why Is thst last arch bricked up?" be inquired. I looked at the object of her inquiry. ' haven't tho remotest Idea, I never It before.

Two men differing more widely In habit and opinion It would bo dlfllchlt to find, and I feared that-a convereatlou be tween them might afford my father and me more cmbarraeiment than en tertainment, Tbo RectoT hi Boldenhurst Major Wat d thin.

The' def- crenco which for many years had Been paid to this reverend gentleman by the most tractable but ignorant peas antry-In England, Bad bred In Mm somewhat dogmatic style. Like most of bla class, he bad married early In life, chooelng for hie wife a portion less lady about three time* hi* •own size, Who, in lieu of dowry, had pre sented. her lord with seven daughters and torn sons In the most rapid suc cession permitted by the laws of Na ture. The living of Holdenbnrat Major wae worth 1220 a year In money, with a tolerable house, and five acres of land all told. Snch were the means at the disposal of this clergyman of tho Church of England, and with them bo had to support himself, bis wife, his eleven children, two servants, ono pony, ono dog, and onhat. as well as iterlal Interest In tt toko a material Interact In tbo well being of tho poor of tbo pirleb—that Is to say, of the entire population) for my father and the RectoT Were by very much the richest persons In tho place, I remember also a canary, said to have been tho pot of the eldest daughter, that was once a member of tbta clerical honeehold; but It died— whether from the draught through the window, of Inanition, or as prey to the hungry cat, I could never correctly ascertain.

The unprecedented depres sion In agriculture, however, and the uncertain, though certainly nnchrie- tlon, procedure of one whom I think, without the remotest exhibition of par tisanship, I may stigmatise as the ova genius of England, Mr. Glad—’’ Mr. Fuller had only proceeded thue far with his answer—the bare prelim inary to a fifteen mlnntes' discourse— when uncle Barn’s Impatience, of which I had been watching the growth with alarm, reached an unbearable point and ho cried ont: “Wat that your pony I saw coming up the path about half-an-hour ago!"

I am not thinking of Holdenhurst, for of course there Is no money her* to collect anyway; I am thinking of New York and London. Why, I remember when I wae a boy In England In tome churches the col- lectlpg boxes were fixtures at each tide of the door! Gould anything have been more absurd? Any effect which the eloquent begging of the preacher had produced died away like the’mem ory of a dream at oat walked along the aisles, snd the poets supporting the money-boxes were passed as heed lastly as the lamp-posts In the street, After that, It I remember rightly, the plan waa to place a plateholder at each side of the door. This was better; but the plan had two glaring defects: nothing was easier than for the people in the middle of the stream of pass- ers-ont to affect not to see the plate*, neither wae there any check oh the doings of the plate holders. The next plan to bo adopted, which I recollect, wae the patting of a bag In front of eadh person present In church. This plan, though ah Improvement, was not without a serious defect A penny, •killfully dropped Infb the bag, chinked as londly is balf-a-crown or a sov ereign, and produced as good an effect upon the other occupant* of a pew at would have been produced by out or other of the more valuable coins. After a while, plates were substituted for bags, only partly removing this objection; and tble, I think, le as far as yon have got In England.” “How are collections taken In Amer ican churches?” Inquired Mr. Fnller, with evident Interest “By tho envelope system. Two dea con* pass ronnd the church, the first carrying a trey full of envelopes and a pencil; the second an empty tray. Each contributor places hit -contribu tion in an envelope, seals It and writes hie name on the outside. Deacon num ber two collects the filled envelopes, and at the next eerflce the name of each contributor, and the amount of hie contribution It publicly announced, tho giver o( the largest amount first; and so on. -When there are several persons who give a like amount, their names are announatd in alphabetical order. It li a perfect plan, and I have unqualified admiration for tho man who conceived It—he read human na ture well. It meet* all requirements, and nothing In It can bo objected to. Tho man who wants to advertise him self le Invited, as It were, to assist the Church equally with the simple-mind ed giver—for I assume that the motive for giving signifies nothing eo long as the dollars are (cooped. Freud le checkmated, and It le Impossible to exaggerate the Importance, of that; for eurely/no ono will eo abuse hie Intelligence as to deny that In every congregation Ananias snd Baiabbis find more Imitators' than any other. Biblical characters.” ‘There It certainly a great deal of villainy In the world," confuted Mr. Fuller sadly. "You would say ao with greater em phasis U you were a member of the Stock Exchange,” laid ancle 8am. At this stage my father made a com mendable but not very successful ef fort to change the subject of conver sation. Aunt Gertrude eat silent and neglected, and everyChdy In tho room except uncle Bam appeared 111 at ease. As for myeelf, I wit desperately un comfortable, and desired nothing ao much at the termination of this mem orable meal. My uncle, I knew, would not prolong It hy one minute— that was not on* of hla tanlta-but the Rev. Mr. Fuller, who was a mira cle of slowness, bad to be reckoned* with: and that gentleman ate ae leis urely as hs talked, which Is saying a great deal. After tome ekllfnl fenc ing my father at laet diverted hit' brother’s remarks from church affaire to decimal coinage, otwhlch monetary system ancle 8am wae a redoubtable champion; and from that moment un til he rote from the table the gone of his eloquence played mercilessly upon what bo wae pleased to cell the ab- •Old English ebao* of fours, twelve* and twenties.

Thomas B, Gregory LL human being* are’ trying to bo happy. From the beggar to the millionaire every one of us knows tho meaning of the poet’* line; “O, happiness! our being’s end and aim.” But what it happiness!

And bow la this great thing to bo reached! Wishing to bo happy, bow are we to mike the wish a reality? Mt it an Important queetlon, the moat important In the world—and, because this la 10, It hat been studied from many angles and answered in many ways. Some hare tried to find happiness along the waf ot ambition. In power, dominion and glory these would be supremely blest Caesar tried that way, and, In the pride of his manhood, tan np against an assassin's digger. Han- iilbai tried It, and wound up by committing suicide. Napoleon tried it, and died broken hearted and miserable on i lonely rock in the see. . And there Is the way of Beauty-* way that Was tried by Cleopatra and Nell GWynne, by Alclblndes and Abelard, as well as a host of othsr* of less fame, but history tells us that to all of them It was In the end the way of bitter disappointment . A very noble way would seem to he that of seif-culture—the development of the Instinct, the acquisition ot knowledge, the gratification of the art sense, and yet the most Illustrious individual of ill those who have tried thl* way— the great Goethe-declared, near the close of hla long Ufe. that during all hla eighty odd years, he had not had “sir weeks” of happiness. Then there 1* the way of wealth-the broad, straight way. which from tho earliest time* has been crowded. But from old King Croesus down to Andrew Carnegie the verdict is the tame, “Wealth doe* not satisfy." CtoCttat' millions could not save him from a troubled life and a miserable death; and the Iron master's wealth seem* to bt pressing down on him a terrible weight, and be 1* unloading himself Of it a* fast at ho can. Fame, beauty, knowledge, ricb'esl They dll fall ui. Sooner or later we learn that the happiness we seek is not to be found in them, Wa grasp the imagined prise snd it turn* to tehee in our grasp. Fame? The more you have of it the greater become* your looaUnats. Beauty? It le a “rainbow'* form, vanishing-amid tho storm.” Knotvledgt? “Behold, wo know not anything.” Wealth? Go set the pampered favorite* in their splendid unrest Where, then, shall happiness be found? There le but one answer; In the eternal iacriflce of self, y Tbit does not mean that one tboold deliberately go about It to make him self mlseraBle. It doel not mean that one la bound to Imitate the authorities of old and dedicate himself to tba Idea eo well set forth In Byron's conplet: “Deep In yob Card Honorius tong did dwell, And hoped to merit Heaven by making earth a hell.” Honorius arts foolish. Self-sacrifice la not self-torture. Belf-sacriflce doe* not mean that we shall take onreelvet away from tho world and be wretched, but that we shall stay with the world and try to make It happy. To stay In the world—a man among men—and to work for the world’s bet terment, regardless of the consequences to one’s private Interests, to fling all thought of self, like a rock, into tho deep sea of forgetfulness, to be willing -Uke the soldier in the battle line, like Father Damien among the lepers, like Paul at Borne, like the Nasarene on the cross—to die for others, this la the true self-sacrifice and the true happiness. The happiest man In the world to-day Is the man who has the most of this spirit, who to the tallest extent of bis power it .joyfully giving himself, body, mind, soul, to the cause of humanity—to mother, father, wife, cUldren, neighbors, everybody; wbo thinks of self last. If at til, and wbo finds his happiness in the happiness be it able to make for those around him. m Giri Who^Thinks Every Man Loves Her By ffixola Greeley Smith HE girl wbo think* every man Is In lor* with her It apt to b* very young. For after twenty-five even the moat self-satisfied and successful coquette baa learned that there are some men in the world to whom her serious arts and smiling blandish; ments make vain appeal.

Not long since I was out in South Dakota, Inspecting tho day schools on the Rosebud snd Pine Ridge reservations, and was gratified to see how well the young 81oux are doing. The boys are getting not only a fair degree of book learning, lmt they are being taught In a practical way that oldest of occupations -agriculture. There to a garden connected with each school, and they are shown how to plant and cultivate potatoes, beans, cabbage* and various other vegetables. Wherever Irrigation to feasible they are shown its application. The young girls are Instructed to all the branches of housekeeping, cook* lng, sewing, mending and the Uke. They take to these arts readily, snd are much cleverer with their fingers than white children. The tewing of some ot the girls to really beautiful. While excellent In manual dexterity, the Indian children are slow to comprehend abstract Ideas. They can be taught to cipher very well, but mental arithmetic pntxles them sadly. This, in my opinion, to additional reason for emphasizing their need of training along practical lines. It to far better to teach the rising generation how to-make a crop and keep the house decently than to employ them In parting sentences or studying his tory. They take Interest only In the tangible and the concrete, something tbey can perceive with the eye, and to which they have in a way been used from Infancy.
