The Way to Happiness.
Find out as early as possible what,
you can best do, and do it with all
your might.
Cultivate a philosophical vein of
thought. If you have not What you
like, what you have until ean change
your environment.
Do not waste your vitality in hating
your life. Find something in it which
is worth liking and enjoying, while
you keep steadily at work to make
it what you desire. Be happy over
something every day, for the brain is
a thing of habit, and you cannot teach
it to be happy in a moment, if you
allow it to be miserable for years.
Make yourself worthy of true friend¬
ship aiJ <i lasting respect and worthy
love, and if any of these emotions
seem to prove ephemeral, remember
they were not the realities—the real
ones will come to you, since you are
worthy. .
Acquire all the knowledge ana ac¬
complishments possible, and enter into
studies and sports with all y mr ener¬
gies. They help to round life out and
and to keep the mind fed with a varied
diet, while they open new floors of
.pleasure and enjoyment.
From a habit of trjing to do some
little act to add to the comfort and
pleasure of some living thing—man or
beast—every day of your life. If you
do no more than feed a starving cat,
speak kindly to a lost dog or loose the
erne! cheek of a misused horse, you
have traveled a step toward happiness,
and have not lived the day in vain.—

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS
Great Changes Made, But England
Still Leads,
In a review of the sea power of the
great nations the Naval Annual shows
that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902
these changes have occurred:
1. Russia, Germany and the United
fc‘.ates have all become the owners of
as many battleships as France, which
ten years ago was in that respect sec
on:! only to Great Britain.
2. Japan’s navy lias been created
and, for Asiatic purposes, is united
with Great Britain’s.
The British and Japanese navies
together number forty-seven armor
< cis of the first-class—three more
then (he combine^ total of Russian,
Ft each and German warships of that
class.
I. France has made armored cruis¬
er-: the prim ■ feature of her new con¬
struction and will shortly count thir¬
teen of them.
5. Cheat Britain has well maintained
her lead over her two most probable
adversaries and now counts twenty
nine first-class battleships ready for
action, against seventeen for France
and Russia combined.
Assuming that the United States
does not join it the Naval Annual con¬
cludes that no combination of naval
powers could be made strong enough
to destroy British sea power.
The things we get for nothing are
generally worth just about what they
cost.
MILLION DOLLAR FRUIT FARM.
KiR Apple Orchard In Missouri to Cover
5000-Acre Tract.
Missouri is to have a 5000-acre apple
orchard, the largest in the world. The
’Frisco road will build a track through
it from end to cud, and depots and
warehouses will be erected for the stor¬
age of the product. An evaporating
plant, vinegar and cider plant and , a
a
canning establishment will be erected,
and facilities provided for caring for
every portion of the orchard’s product
on a business basis, the keynote to
which is like that of the packinghouses
—not a thing shall be wasted.
The big orchard is to be located in
Laclede County,about three miles from
Lebanon, on a tract occupying a north¬
ern plateau, nearly the whole of the
5000 acres sloping to the north, a con¬
dition much sought for by orcliardists.
It is owned by a company officered by
Iowans, and which expects to make an
investment on the property of 81,000,
000 .
It is proposed to set about 4800 acres
of the tract to apples, the remaining
ttOO acres being reserved for buildings
and other necessary purposes. Two
year-old apple trees are to be planted
on 1000 acres next spring and 250
acres of peach trees are to be planted,
these to afford quicker returns than
can be expected from the apple trees.
The peach trees will be supplanted
by apple trees later, however. From
the peach orchard returns are expect¬
ed in three years, while for the apple
trees six years are allowed. While the
trees are growing the company will
plant the land to corn, berries and
other crops in order to get a return
from year to year. Stump pullers and
steam plows are already at work, and
the contract has been let for clearing
the entire tracts
The apples to be grown will be
chiefly of the lien Davis and Jonathan
varieties, which have been shown to be
adapted to that soil and which will
keep well, remaining in cold storage
for two or three years. It is intended
that the orchard company shall market
not only the fruit of its own farm, but
shall buy and ship fruit from surround¬
ing growers, thus keeping constantly
in closest touch with the markets and
in position to take advantage of every
favorable condition.
The Ozark country is yearly taking
higher rank among the apple produc¬
ing sections, and one of the promoters
of the big orchard said he was advised
the apple growers of New York and
other of the older States were not re¬
planting their trees owing to the high
values of land in those sections. He
says that with the cheap lands of Mis¬
souri so well adapted to apple growing
and so centrally located as to the best
apple markets, the Ozark region will
soon become the apple producing cen¬
tre of the world.—Kansas City Journal.
The Ping-Pong lYatch.
There is one class of the community
other than the players which blesses
ping-pong. This is the watchmaker
and jeweler, for I am told that there
is nothing so hard on one’s watch as in¬
dulgence in the game of the. moment.
The reason is that most men do not
take off their coats and waistcoats,
and so play with their watches on. In
the excitement the watches are jerked
out of the pocket and fall on the
ground or on the table, or any way get
a nasty jar. A great many girls play
with their watches fastened to their
bodices, says Woman’s Life, the pin
gets opened and clown the watch falls.
Even if it does not, the constant jump¬
ing about and swinging of the arms
disturbs the machinery so that the
watch does not keep time and has to bo
sent to be regulated. Since my watch¬
maker told me of this I have watched
(don’t think I intended a wretched
pun) many girls play, and the way
their watches bumped about on their
chests has been extraordinary. I can
quite understand how it is that my
watchmaker says he has more than
doubled his income of late repairing
the watches of ping-pong players.
Si 100,000,000 of Beef.
The total annual export value of
United States meat—of which beef
forms the principal item—is in round
figures $100,000,000. If we add to this
the distributive sales of the various
packing establishments in the United
States for the domestic market as well,
we find that it reaches the enormous
total of 1,000,000 carlcads, valued at
$2,000,000,000. Added to this is the
value of the many by-products of the
packing house, which amount to many
millions more,—Leslie’s Monthly.
