THE DISSATISMtW Wfltto. j Lives Nimllrd hr « Frulilv»« t.««al»a ; Fur Other FleMe. Everywhere we flml people who arc dlsMilLdml with their 101. who think they would be hoppy if they could only 1 got somewhere el*e. Into some other occupiitlon. They ace only the thorn* In their own vucntloua, the ros<'« In those of others. The iliopglrl would be 1111 nvtress; the cook would change places with ber mistress, the butler 1 with Ills muster. The lawyer would be 1 n ductor, the doctor a lawyer. The farmer bemoans Ins hurd lot and longs > to exchange bis life of druduery for ’ the career of the merchant or the tnuu i ufucturer. The country Iwy leans 011 1 bls plow bundle and looks toward lhe j city with hungry eyes. If be could only !»• free from the slavery of the ' farm, he thinks, wear good clothes, get I hokl of 11 yardstick and stand behind n counter! Happiness, opportunity, for j tune everything. Ilea yonder; urouud hitn misery, toll, poverty nothing de airable. A city youth behind a counter or wittlna on a high ofliee st<a>l rail* al 1 fate for conflvlng him to the limits of brick walls and the dreary details of i I iiiercbainllse, buying and selling, or of 1 tigurlng np iicconnta.

But now— How much energy has lieen lost, how t many Ilves have la-eii spoiled by this fruitless longing for other fields, other ipportunities out of resell. What is the use of sighing or ilreamlng of what you would do If you were in somebody rise's place? What is the use of try ing to n-.ich Into your neighbor's pasture when you do not know what bitterness : may lie at the root of it. hidden from j your sight, when you have never tried I I to develop or to call out the sweetness 1 and juiciness which thrive In your I iwn?—O. 8. Manlen in Snccess. SALT LAKE WATER. r.Sec« of Its Voualerful Buoyancy on BoUlea and Boats. The buoyancy of the water of the Great Salt lake is such that It is al- . most in>|w>saible for a |>erson to remain upright in it, his body being lifted as a ' ' atrip of wood thrown into the water at a vertical or oblique direction like a dart is returned to the surface In a horizontal position. In fact, it is believed that the Great Salt lake will support more weight to a given volume of water than even the Dead sea. It is a very popular resort with bathers . for the reason that it is impossible for ' a person to drown unless lie should deliberately place his tiead under the ' surface or tie a weight to his feet. The , bather can float upon the water, lying - on his back or chest, and keep bis head entirely above the surface with no effort of the arms or legs. The large quantity of salt in solution is the principal reason for the buoyancy. While the buoyancy of the water is so great that it will support a jH-ioon without aid. the boats which are designed to Is- used upon the lake must be constructed especially to counteract thia feature. The ordinary wooden vessel when empty is actually too light to be navigated with safety upon it. since such a small portion of it would be Immersed. Therefore care has to be taken, in building sailboats especially, lest they be top heavy. For this reason navigation is very dangerous on the lake when the wind is blowing even raodenitely unless the vessel is loaded so that it sits deep enough in the water to counteract the buoyant tendency. The quantity of salt held in solr’lon Is so great that it is dangerous for one to swallow even a mouthful of the water, as It Is liable to cause strangulation. Several deaths from this cause have ensued among persons who have ventured into the lake.—Chambers’ 1 Journal. Very Old Trees. An old yew tree stands In the church yard at Fortlngiil, in Perthshire, which l»e Candolle nearly a century ago proved to the satisfaction of botanists I to be twenty-five centuries old. and an I other is still standing at Hedsor, in Bn 1 das. which is 3.240 years old. How De , Candolle arrived at an apparently eor- , rod estimate of the enormous nge of ) these living trees is a simple thing. and« , the principle Is doubtless well known today to nil. The yew. like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of ' an Indi, to Its circumference each year. But the oldest living thing In the world ‘ toda.v ns far as known Is a cypress tree ■ in Chapnltepec. Mexico, that Is 6.2U0 ) .rears old. “Yes" That Meant “No." !
