PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS. •Confusion of the Two Terms in Many Minds May Be Responsible for Much Trouble. Laxity and diversity of the laws relating to marriage in the various .states of the union are justly blamed for the growth of what may be called the growth of the divorce habit in America. Yet i:here are few general tendencies which do not derive their origin and force from individual lives, j; Personal reforms are often needp ed before legislatve reforms can be effective, says Youth’s Companion. It may fairly be asked whether the confusion of pleasure and happiness in many minds is not responsible for a great deal of the trouble. The two things differ in 1 that one is transitory and the ' /' other abiding. Now if there is any one quality of matrimony which should distinguish it from other conditions of life, it is the quality of permanence. Happiness rathqr than pleasure should be the token of its success. It is a limited view of marriage which looks forward chiefly to the pleasure of having one’s own establishment—the sense of proprietorship on the part of the man, the greater freedom in many fields of activity for the woman. The whole chorus of experience proclaims the rather tiresome, true story that the real satisfactions of marriage come from quite other sources —the sharing of responsibilities and experiences, the sur- / render of personal preferences, the daily, yearly growth of sympathy and understanding. It is' hard to make all young per- ? sons believe the truth of these '■ thrice familiar statements. It may be just as hard to give them a "realizing sense” of the distinction between happiness and pleasure. They must learn most of it for themselves. This is meant •; merely as a guide post, pointing in what seems the right direction. LANGUAGE OF THE FISHES. r ■ u Dehizens of the Deep Make Peculiar ‘ Noises That Seem to Be Understood by Their Kind. X. Dr. Day, in his “Instincts and Emotions in Fishes,” leaned to C the opinion that some fishes have E voices which may express fear, anger, danger and conjugal enfe dearments. He tells us that the ’ coroma, a fish found in the Tagus, emits sounds resembling the vibrations of a deep toned bell, and that other fishes give out purring noises, which can be heard from 20 fathoms under water. Further, ‘ that in the island of Borneo there P is a singing fish, which sticks to the bottom of boats and regales the occupants with sounds varying between those of a jewsharp p and an organ. Some time ago p Matthias Dunn, in an article in p The Contemporary Review, Up claimed that the fishes were able to emit sounds which are understood by their fellows. This astonishing theory has been rep cently confirmed by Prof. Kollicker, of the geological station ife at Naples. The professor, clad in ■ a divingdress, established himself in an electrically illuminated ; iron cage on the bottom of the p Mediterranean, and, provided with a sounding board and especially constructed phonograph, spied the fishes. He caught i sounds which probably were the ■X- expressions of the surprise with p which the scared fishes received the human intruder. Prof. KolK licker established the fact that the sounds emitted by the individual ‘ fishes differ from each other, and | has gained the conviction that the sounds may be considered as a lan- | . guage by which they make them--Agelves understood to one another. p Ground for Suspicion. Two grimy newsboys were ■counting their day’s earnings the |: other evening on a step near the corner of Tenth and Walnut streets. Suddenly one of them looked up from his task and narrowly regarded his comrade. “I’m a cent short,” he remarked. The H comrade, busily engaged in chew1 4 ing gum, did not reply. “Say, I’m a cent short,” repeated the first fe boy. "Well,” protested the sec • ond. “I ain't got yer cent, have I I'The loser looked grim. “I ain’t J sayin’ you have,” he slowly re K sponded, “an’ I ain't sayin’ you X haven’t. But Pm a cent short— BES*’ you’re chewin’ chewin’-gum.’ —Philadelphia Press. - _ - i

Wfl T I 1A I' ¥ T7I 119 LT A TA TT A TT I ■ £ Mildred Montmorency, the beautiful chorus girl, reclined Indolently upon '.the box couch in her dressing room. Dreamily she closed her eyes. ? Afar off she could hear the gentle . 1 murmur of the orchestra and the ocT i casional high , notes of the prlma ' j donna. Once in a while the dull rumble i-' of applause from the audience pene- - trated to her dressing-room. t Suddenly she rose to her full height , and surveyed her perfect form criti- ‘ cally. 1 “Why should Ibe only a chorus ■ girl?” she thought. “Why should I - slave away with the dozens of stupid. ] unambitious, tiresome things in the chorus with me? With my voice, my figure, my face, I should easily become a star—if I had the money.” - A girl, passing in the corridor, poked - her head inside the door. < “Coming, Mildred?” she asked. “It’s almost time for us. The zoo-zco song goes on in a minute.” i “I’ll thank you to remember, Miss > Rosemarch, that I can always- tell r when lam needed. You mind your biz." Left alone to herself, Miss Montmorency -once more stretched her lithe ’ and lissome figure upon the box couch, ’ rudely covered with an imitation Turkish drapery, and breathed the sigh of the self-satisfied. ? Suddenly there was a knock at the i door. “Miss Montmorency! Miss Montmorency!” It was the stage manager, Bartholdi, , who called. The voice, the repeated j knocks on the door, aroused Miss , Montmorency. She hurriedly opened the door, and faced Bartholdi. “What is it, Bart?” she inquired. ■ “Ach Himmel! The prima donna, f Miss Highnote, has fainted on the , stage. We have rung down the certain. The audience must go home, unless you will help us.”_ ' “I? What can I do?” , The timid, shrinking chorus girl . gazed at the stage manager in wonder. “You must go on and finish the ' pfima donna’s part.” ‘ “Impossible!” t “You must. You alone know the . music. You can sing like a bird—you need no rehearsal, for you have ' watched Miss Highnote every night. I - beg of you, make the effort.” t “One moment.” t [. The humble chorus girl assumed a more imperious demeanor. 1 “I will sing the role, but on one condition.” “Name it. Name anything. Only • sing.” “It is that henceforth my salary • shall be $175 a week, instead of the $lB I have been receiving.” Bartholdi gasped out his astonishment “You are mad. A hundred and sev- ‘ enty-five? Why, you are crazy.” > Mildred 'closed her lips firmly. > “Very well, then. Dismiss your audience.” ’ Bartholdi wavered. He consented. The salary was fixed at $175 a week. - “And I must have a maid.” , “You shall have a maid.” “And the star’s dressing room?” [ “I will have her things moved our at once.” ’ J ’ “And'a 1 press agent?” I “Ho will report to you to-morrow for instructions?’ , “Very well, then. Lead the way. I > will sing.” ? A sea of faces, cold, unrelenting, - foreboding, greeted Mildred Mont- ) morency as she first stepped before the footlights. Somehow, it seemed • to her as .though they were so many 1 wild beasts waiting to ■■ tear her to , pieces. She trembled and would have » fallen. “Courage,” whispered Bartholdi from-the wings. “Be brave,” murmured the musical " director, across the footlights. The director’s baton rose and fell. 1 The orchestra began. The audience ! was as silent as death itself. ’ - Then Mildred opened her lips, and a flood of melody broke forth upon the ■ still air. Slowly at. first, then faster ) and faster as the tempo of the song ] changed, she sang her first solo. High and higher went the notes. Nearer and nearer she reached the top- ’ most pinnacle of the Patti register, t The audience was thrilled through and 1 .trough. Suddenly, with a rising 1 crescendo of her marvelous voice, she I sang higher than ever Patti dared climb: The next 1 moment all was in an up- - roar. A volcano of applause poured 1 enthusiastic approval upon the fair 1 young debutante. The musical director broke his baton in excitement Bartholdi, the stage manager, rushed ' forward impulsively from the wings - and embraced his protege, his discov- •. ery. For five minutes the excitement continued. In vain the manager tried to ? quell the disturbance. In the midst of the uproar the stage ? manager lowered the asbestos fire cur- - tain to shut off the applause from its t unwilling victim, and Mildred Mont--1 morency, half-fainting, was carried to , her dressing-ropm, while in her ears still rang the noise of the terrific ap--1 plause. e —:— - There was a loud banging on th« 0 door. I "Miss Montmorency.” Slowly the figure on the boz couch arose and opened the door. Bartholdi, the stage manager, stood t cutside. ». “Miss Montmorency, this is the Jrird time you have missed your place n the zoo-zoo song and pony ballet “ You are discharged. No tears, now This is final. I repeat it, you are discharged.”— N. V. Sun. ,

' XX Litigation That Revealed the Truth About Some Carloads Shipped to New York. Few people are aware of the venerable age of the average egg ’ that reaches the New York market. From some litigation between an egg commission house • and a wholesale egg company in lowa interesting -facts are disclosed, says the New York Times. The case has been decided by the . appellate division in this coun--1 ty. On the 20th of April, 189?, the plaintiff bought five carloads of eggs of the lowa company. These were kept in storage in Sioux City until the following winter, and all i 'of them did not reach this city until January 8, 1900. But then they did not reach the market, for there was a dispute as to their con- ’ dition and quality, the purchaser maintaining that they were not j of the quality ordered and the seller replying that any deterioration ■ was due to the time in storage. 1 Then the purchaser sold them for what he could get and sued the , lowa folks for the difference between what he received and what he would have received had the eggs been up to the standard l claimed. He won, and his judgi meat was affirmed. And the pubi lie ate the eggs. A prominent egg dealer here says that hardly a dozen eggs ’ reach the/ wholesale markets here until they are from three to ■ nine months old. The bulk of the supply comes from the valleys of i the Ohio and the Mississippi. . They are brought to the steamboat landings by the farmers, ■ who, of course, wait until they have a crate or a barrel before . driving to the dock. Perhaps then the boat is missed or cannot make the landing, and another week passes before collection. Finally the boat deposits its cargo with a cold-storage warehouse, whence they are sent by freight to New York as demanded. v The Long Island and New Jersey production and delivery here is so small as to be wholly insignificant in comparison. THE FUNNY BOOBY BIRD. Some of Its Actions Give the Impression That It Is Indeed - Crazy. The booby bird, an oceanic fowl, is probably the funniest and most stupid bird in the world. It appears to have as little intelligence a ■ the old extinct dodo had, according to the ancient accounts, say: Golden Days. The booby nests on islands far out in the Pacific ocean, and will not stir out of the way when men land there, but remains squatted on the ground, staring at the intruders stolidly. It can fly very well indeed, and goes long distances; but when it is 1 sitting on the water it w|Jl reiftain directly in the course of a ship, so that it happens often that asteamer will go clear over a booby that could easily have swum or flown out of the way. Sometimes booby birds will fly on the deck of a ship and lie there with their legs sprawling under , them, making no attempt to rise, as if their bewilderment had quite numbed their weak intellect. The booby bird does not feed its young as the other birds do, by carrying food to them in its bill. Instead of this, the booby swal- ' lows the food, and the young bird thrusts its head into the throat of the parent and fishes the food . out. When two young boobies are hatched in the same nest, the one that is out of the egg first will often attempt to eat his younger i brother or sister. When a shot is fired at a booby bird, it generally falls down flat , on the .ground and screams pitiably, even if it has not been hit at > all; so that it happens frequently ■ that a runner gathers in entirely ’ unhurt booby birds that have sim- , ply been frightened into helplessi ness. Pyrotechnic Birds. In Nagasaki (Japan) there is a j firework :n?.her who manufactures pyrotQch.ric birds of great size that, when exploded, sv.ail in 1 a life-like manner through the air l and perform many movements exactly like of those of living birds. ; The secret of making these won--3 derful things has been in the possession of the eldest child of the • family each generation for more than 400 years.—London Mail.
