SECRET

eential to Happiness, Because We Are
•
Mister of Our 'Whole
. ,
The seeret of happiness has, for ell
time, been mteet of humanity, and
many and various, have been the meth-
ede ,empleyed, to iind title caveted treat
sure, and litany the spurious waive Put

elize, because' true happinese for each
„me of us es made up in such varying
ways. Nevertheless, there are certain
Underlying' prineiples which form a mai-
versal basis under its many forms.
Happiness is a personal possession.
ao a, very large extent it is independent
cf circumstances; indeed; the most fay.;
,ored lives are devoid of it,eutiless the
quality .of being able to, be happy ex-
, ists, and -the most meagatl existence. can
j he full of a real enjoyMent of life. If I
had to write a prescription which I be-
lieved would, as far as the change and
chance of life would allow, ensure hap-
piness, I shouldplace first and foremost
the quality of selacoutrol. The- aspira-
tion of every truly great people has al-
ways been to ensure this quality.
SELF.r.ONTatOL THE FIRST ESSEN-
,
TIAL.
In the Golden Age of every nation it
has been sought after as the key to na-
tional success, and justtin proportion, as
each nation has lost hold on thie qua-
lity has it sunk in the scale of greatness
and of power. ,
It is in the animal world, the differ•
ence between the trained and the un-
trained, this immediate answering to
guidance and to duty. It is a habit
that is acquired, and that grows, as does
ahnost every oth.er quality, easier in the
using. .The animal depends tippo the
continual guidance of man, whereas the
quality once acquired is practised by
roan without any, goading from without,
and becomes in itself a pleaeure.
To be unableto curb any part of our-
selves must always involve humiliation
and. disappointment. If happiness con-
sists in what :we are, then it beeomes,ap-
parent that we must command all our
Powers. t •
The splendid achievements et the aa.
pane'se are unquestionably largely due
to the telization ofthis truthttt I have
heard on every band that tine nation is
one of the happiest in the world, and yet
the whole Secret of thireducation lies in
the- 'cultivation of selftcontrol. It has
developed on, the one-handt a discipline
of fortitude, which- bus scarcely a partilt
.1e1 in the .world's history,: and a singu-
lar unselfish consideration of others
which pre-erninently distinguishes that
great race. .
REASON -OF' JAPAN'S SUCCESS: e
. ,
, Boys, and girls are brought up to sped
nc tears, to utter no groans, for alio
simple, reasonthat in so doing they
-would' be wounding the sensibility e cf
others. ;
A witty Japanese said ton English-
man, "Your husbands, kiss 3our wives
in public- and beerthem-en, private. Ja-
panese -husbands etbeat them in public
and kiss them in private."
' Calmness and composure are the 'out.
come of this seif-control, and the equi-
librium is: not overthrown in motivate
ot unexpected vexation or disapointe
merit. • "
• To those who have not accniired this
habit, how many bad moments succeed
a' sudden gust of passion or a spell of
anger? I .remember two Italian maids
in Southern Italy -having ane day a vio-
lent, 'quarrel. They 'fleetly ettme to
blows, as they screamed and gesticulate
ett, livid with .rage. 1, endeavored to
make peace without success. ' An 'hour
later l' met them leaving the house.

answered, "to have our blood drawn, as

But self-control must be 'taught early,

• FESTIVAL. AND LAR011. •
The Santals of ItengrelbAre a appy -Go-,
, Lucky People.
The summer is the time of festivals
for the Santals, one of the tribes of Ben-
galeanala, bulewhen the time cornes'for
the 'gathering of the scanty crops, says
the author of "The Story of an Indian
Upland," amusement is forgotten and
the fields are alive with workers.
Everywhere men, women and children
each family combining .its strength to
make labor light, reaping and binding
and t stacking the • golden corn, move
quickly and silently about their wore.
Armed only •with the short semi -circu-
lar siokle that compels them to stoop
low, they yet prove thernselve$ tireless
at their toil* pausing but now and again
to stand upright and snatch a moment's
breathing space. On the best and ,most
fertile fields theemoisture left over from
the rains, carefully banked ,in andsta
etaciously preserved, remains, and the
reapers, as at transplanting time; stand
ankle-deep en the. pools and e,odden
earth. Down in the hollow at. tap foot
of the lowest ridge, whence the ground
rises on both sides, terrace on terrace,
lies the Pest and most coveted land. Each
field int the atteending settle, lacking
moisture in proportion, is less fertile
,than its neighbor just ,below. •
After the lia.evest there is one slast
.stage 'before"the Santals' work is at an
end. There are payments to be made
-so much to the blacksmith, who has
repaired his plotiehshares free ,through-
out the year, awaitingthis moment fcr
his dues; se much' to the reoney-lender,
if perchance he was forcedtoborrow
grain fer the sowing of his crop; or co
much to the landlord, should hie -rent

Then, at last, all dues 'fully settled,
there but, remains for him to store his
grain with care against the multitude
of dangers that may yet beset it., Rats
and insects are the .chief enemies , that
threaten, arid te ward eft these he has
invented a primitive but effective store-
