Finding Happiness In a Life That to Youth Is Irksome. "lounger people," said the middle aged man, "want variety. They want to be always on the go. Routine galls them. They bate to have to do the same thing over and over and over again day after day. "They want to go somewhere or do something different all the time. Older people are happiest in a life of routine, most disturbed when variety is thrust upon them. "For myself 1 welcome my dally task, endlessly repeated and always the same. I should be lost without It; disturbed If it were changed. . A life of habit suits uie best. I like the old scenes familiar friendly surroundings. I don't want to change. "Nor do I want much outside pleas ure. In fact, I think I should be best snited with none. I like my groove. It fits me. and 1 fit it. I don't want change. 1 just want to be left alone to work in ray accustomed ways. It is In my groove (hat 1 am most com fortable. I like a life of labor and routine. "And could there come to one a greater blessing? Nature and the cus toms of men enforce routine upon us whether we like' It or not. In youth this irks us, but in our matnrer years in a life of routine, in the undisturbed enjoyment of familiar labor, we may find our greatest happiness." New York Son. The One to Pay. When she was Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. George Cornwallls- West consented to electioneer for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett in bis first parlia mentary campaign. Mr. Ashmead Bartlett was married to the Baroness Bnrdett-Coutts, a very rich woman, who was nearly forty years his Benlor. Lady Randolph, with her beauty and charms, did splendid work for the can didate. To a group of farmers she said one day: "Won't you promise me to vote for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett?" "My lady," said a red faced farmer, with a chuckle, "we'll all vote for him if every vote '11 be paid for with a kiss." "Thank you very much," Bald Lady Randolph. "Your offer is accepted. I'll send for the Baroness Burdett Coutts at once." Deserted Their Towns. So late as the end of the seventeenth century the Inhabitants . of Ceylon were In the habit of deserting . their towns. Their customs are described In the narrative of Captain Robert Knox, who for nineteen years, from 10C0 to 1C79, -was a captive among them, He speaks, o several .towns as lying desolate owing to the fact thai their inhabitants had forsaken them. This they did if many of them fell sick, and two or three died soon after one another, thinking that it was a visitation of the evil one. Some of them came back when they thought the evil spirits had departed. Professional Artificial Flowers. It was in Italy that a demand for artificial flowers first arose. This was due primarily to a caprice of fashion which demanded that during festivals blossoms in and out of their seasons should be worn and also to the fact that their color and freshness were stable. Later on, in the middle ages, the artificial so far superseded the natural that both men and women decked tbetr beads with imitation flowers of cambric, paper, glass and metal. .
