' It la surprising, wllen we think of
the age of London, anr. think ot the
tower which William the - Conqueror
built; of Hie ancient abbey; of the Nor

randy ot London's most prominent
j buildings are less than a hundred years

in London Tit-Bits. . i
Of nil tie bulldlnits which flank
Whitehall only .the Horse Guards, the

existed a hundred years ago. Tho gov
ernment otlices are all ucw.
- Within living memory the house of
parliament, the Thames cmbunkment
and all its Hanking buildings, St.
Thomas' hospital, the National gallery,
South Kensington museum, the Tote
gallery," the law courts, all the big ho
tels and ovon tho present Mansion
houso have been built, whilst nearly
all the banks and great piles of commercial-
offices 'in the city are new,
although tho thoroughfares In which'
they stand ure very old. .-
A. hundred years ago there was no
nigh Holboi'D, no Shaftesbury avenue,
no Charing Cross road, no Itegent
street qr, at most, It was Just In tho

Klngswny and Aldwych are streets of
yesterday.' .
Moreover, such great centers of pop
ulation as Putney ami Islington and
Hainpstead and Edmonton were little
outlying villages qullo disconnected,
with London, whilst West Hum and
Wlllesden had no existence except aft
names, and places like Shepherd's
Bush and Wormwood Scrubs might

HOW MANY ARE TRULY HAPPY
Eminent New York Physician Places
the Number, at About One
In Hiindred.
The other night wp chanced to ask
an eminent physician' of New York
city his opinion as to .the number of
people who were truly happy. His
rather dogmatic reply was: , .
"About one In a hundred." '
: . And this was not the opinion of a
pessimist, but of a most radical op
timist We wonder if this opinion Is shared
by : others. ; It does not mean, of
course, that ninety-nine people out of
a hundred are deeply unhnppy. That
would be absurd. But there is no
doubt tbnt a great many people are
quite unhnppy a good deal of the time,
perhaps not half tho time, but enough
rather to cloud their lives.'
We should like to know the opinion
of physicians generally. More and
-more people go to the doctors to tell
them their troubles. The physician
of today, takes the place of the con-
fessional of yesterday.
Then, too, there Is the new applica
tion of psychology to the field of medl
cln! the so-called psycho-analysis.
which Is so rapidly taking Its place as j
an important part, literally, or the
medical pharmacopoeia. This now sci
ence has glvon a wonderful insight
(Into our sub-consctous selves and re
veals how far that sub-conscious seff
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the anmint of happiness which
rwe really get out of this confused
welter of existence. V
A Napoleon Holograph,
Few holograph letters In the hand Of
tho great Napoleon are outside the
French national archives. In the fa.
mous Morrison collection, tho second
portion of which Is being offered at
Sotheby's, London, appeared that mis
sive whlc) tho first consul wrote to tho
prince who nfterwards became Louis
XVIII. In this lie sternly advises him
to remain In sweet and tranquil exile,
for n return to France would mean a
trudge over'100,000 corpses ("II vdus
faudralt marcher-sur 100,000 endav
res"). For this vehement warning Mr.
F. Sabln paid f 435, and at a convenient
and authorized Intervul the letter will
go to New York. A descendant of Jo
soph Bonaparte, at present Incognito
In London, Inspected the letter and
was represented in tho earlier stnges
of the bidding. Another letter by Na
poleon addressed to Josephine, saying
that the sun Itself may grow cold be
fore he forgets her, reached fl50.

On Crying In the Theater. , .
So, avers Nora Baycs, In tho Ameri
can Magazine, in her own words:
"It Is a commonplace of the heater
that the public want, above all things,
to be entertnlned. But that Is very
fnr from snylng that they wnnt to be
amused. Humor Is by no means tho
easiest way to reach the humnn heart.
There are those who will tell you
that the public would far rather laugh
than cry. And when they do you
can just tell them to tell It to
Sweeney. The American public would
rather cry than laugh any day. Where-
arc token completely out of them
selves."
"The girl who Is wise never permits
herself to nppear more Intelligent than
the men she Is trying to entertain.

Where the line lies that marks the
division between morning house
dresses and all-over aprons, It Is a
hard matter to determine, j They are
oTIen very much .alike.' InMiouse
dresses, however, a much greater va
riety of materials Is to be found and.
also greater variety of design. ,The
prettiest ones are made.of printed
voiles In stripes, plaids, cheeks and
plain patterns, usually : finished with
collars and cuffa of organdie, dotted
swlss or. .machine-made. . embroidered
Swiss. On white organdie collars and
cuffs narrow hand-crocheted edges and
feather-stitching, in the color, that
dominates In the dress, have come In
as .the most appropriate and prettiest
finish. Dimity, flowered lawn, printed
crepe, dotted swlss and, of course,. cal
ico are all available for these frocks.

the ginghams, percales and, calicoes in
colors- and in. plain white cottons.

Orlflln of Tea Drinking.
Ten drinking seems to have orig
inated In China ; and tho Chinese, ac
cording to Prof. King, in ills "Formers
of Forty Centuries,'? drunk It 'first
as a sanitary measure, having found
that boiling their water saved them
from typhoid and afterward adding
tea leaves to tnnko the bojled water
palatable. Dr. It. A., Gortner of tlib
University of Minnesota,, 'writing In
Science, believes that this is not an
exact description pf wlmj happened,
but that the discovery of the efficacy
of tea us a typhoid preventive came
