All lmnian beings as ihey 'scurry hither -and yon, are emleavoriiiB in their mani fold ways to secure happiness. I5ut many of them unfortiuiately discover too late, that what they pictured as happiness, falls into dust and ashes when they attain it. There are almost as many rules of happiness as there are people What. is happiness for one, is futility for another. After a long and useful life, lieu Franklin announced that hap piness was entirely a matter of (rood health, with particular refer ence to the proper functioning of the liver. Carlyle, however main tained there was no such thinjr as human happiness, the nearest ap proach being an anodyne for pain, in the form of keeping busy, which perhaps supports liens contention, fur Carlyle was chroni cally dyspeptic. In a recent sketch of Charles Lamb, however, we hid a for midable obstacle for "Old Kichard" to surmount. Charles Lamb never enjoyed what could be called good health, his life was full of tragedy and disappointment Yet one can't read his essays, and particularly his letters without admitting that as life goes, he Mas an exceptionally happy man. In trying to find Lamb's secret, there seems to bo nothing more tangible than an extremely active sense of humor, and an indomit able curiosity and interest, in everything, in everyone, in life, re gardless of its quality. In other words Lamb's nature appears to have been a sort of crucible which turned every experience, good or bad, sad or gay, tragic or comic, into something of interest, something to laugh about or something to think about. When his first piny was a complete failure, Lamb joined in the hissing with great gusto, and when his sister stabbed his mother to death, instead of 'being crushed by the horror, he proceeded to find in it a new purpose in life, thereupon concentrating his best years to restoring "poor Mary's reason." Lamb never longed for the country when he was in Iho city; and nover longed for the city when he was in the country, lie in variably adjusted himself to whatever his environment happened to be. Listen to this, an extract from a letter to Wadsworth: "I have passed nil my clays In London until I havo formed as many intense and local attachments as any of you mountaineers can havo with dead nature. The lighted shops of tho Htrand and of Fleet street; tho innumerable trades, tradesmen nnd custo mers, coaches,, wagons, pluyhouHed; nil the bustle and wickedness round about Covent Clardon; tbe very women nf tho town, the watchmen, drunken scenes, rnttlcs; life awake, if you awake, at nil hours of tho night; the crowds, tho very dirt and mud, tho Hun Rhinitis upon houses and pavemonets. tho print shops, tho old book stalls, parsons cheapening- books, coffee houses, -Bt earns of soup from kitchens, tho puntlmines London itself a pantomino and mnsquorudo all these things work themselves into my mind and feed me, without a power of satiating me." And after an excursion into village nnd country: "I am In love ' with tills green earth, the face of town and country, tho unspeak ablo rural solitudes and tho sweet security of streets." A philosophy like this can't be dismissed as the mere exurber nnce of a perfect metabolism. It is more the product of an inner spirit. And while the first rule for happiness is there are no rides; we havo an idea that those who seek happiness can never come, very close to it, until they achieve something akin to this spirit of Charles Lamb.

Tho title of today's talk I chose not so much to aid and abet crossword I) u ..lo makcrH, but from impulse. Tb word rliivus means a corn or callus, and a doctor just naturally seizes upon a name like tliat to cover his ftenerai ig norance of the sub ject as much ns pos sible. Clavus. by tho way, is one dis ease which the form es' barber healers seldom: .treat by ad jut?Unr' the . victim's Sliinw-tClavuff in the shrewd eyes of the former barber heal er, looks very much ns a fracture looked i to tho author of another fad henlinj? cult the laity 'is stUl rather hard nc-uieu auout mese pcrrectly obvious ailments. Itefore we po any farther I want to testify that I spertod 'callus as a noun in the preceding -paragraph, no mat ter how It mny be spelled here. As n general rule, it comes out spelled as an adjective. : Paring or rutting or scraping away corns Is a dangerous practice in any case, unless it Is done under strict aseptic conditions, which does not mean merely using antiseptics. It is probably bettor to remove a corn by softening It chemically, nnd the most satisfactory remedy for this purpose Is salicylic acid. The standard formu la is a solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid in half an ounce of collodion. This must bo kept in a' tightly stop pered vial nnd care taken to keep the fluid off the neck of the vial and off the stopper. Otherwise the ether evaporates from tho collodion, nnd there is left a thick mass which is useless until more ether is added to dissolve it ngaln. Paint the corn or callus with one coat of the salicylic collodion every .day ' for a week or longer. Keep the medicine off the surrounding skin. .After several' such applications the corn or callus will be so soft that it can be easily wiped nwny. Of course, it will soon retuYn If the original catise is not removed. For the soft corn the same treat ment is sufficient, but special atten tion is necessary to prevent moisture. This may be done by keeping either pledgets of absorbent cotton or little folds of surgeon's gause between the toes and changing these two or three times a day. If thore is excessive sweating of tho feet, that should be treated, too. The present styles In shoes Is about the best ever, from the hygienic point of view. Women's shoes this season allow room for three or four toes to the foot and some of the shoos for men will tako five toes together and still leave room for half hose. X) HEX but a child I rcml n tale about a youth named rote, who helped a woman, old and frail, across a crowded street; he saw her safely to her door, since she was weak and lame, and there she thanked him oVr ami o'er and asked him for his name. Tho days ami weeks went by with speed, as days and weeks will go, ami Tete forgot his kindly deed, while rustling for the dough. It was his nature thus to aid the help less and the old, nnd in such games he never played for grati tude or gold. Imagine, then, the youth's surprise, when lawyers Jinx & Jones, informed him, envy in their eyes, he'd drawn n million, bones. The dame he helped, the good old soul, was dead and buried now, and she had willed to him a roll that well might choke a cw. And 1 resolved to lie in wait for some poor feeble dnii and nobly Telp her to her gate, and there no guerdon claim. If one old lady left a wail to such a boob as Pete, T, ut would loog for dames ahroad and help them cross the street. And when at lat I got in touch with such a siriek frau, she spiked me roPudly with .her crutch, and rai?ed an awful row. 1 tell this tale with dreary ache, and moralists re join: "This IVte was good for goodness' sake, nnd you were good for coiur' , - - QLICSTIOXS AX1) AN'SWKRS. Tonsils and Voire. Please tell me whether having the tonsils removed will injure the voice for singing. 1 have been told there is a lining back of the palate called pil lars of the throat and if these are de stroyed one can never sing high. Is there more danger of injury to the pll lars if a local unesthetic is used, or is the 'result more satisfactory when a general anesthetic is used? Mrs. H. J.N.) Answer If the tonsils nro submerg ed or If there are adhesions between the tonsil and the pillar (the result of old inflammation or long neglected infection) there .is some risk of injury to the pillar in the removal of the ton sil, whother local or general anesthe sia is used. As a general rule removal of the tonsils improves the voice. LtHto Spring Fever Kindly suggest a very good blood purifier. In the spring some people like to take something for the blood".

Answer Sassafras Is as good as anything else, though I do not take blood purifiers seriously. Itoxlug. Is boxing good for a girl? Will It be Injurious in later years? A friend has volunteered to teach me. (C. J. C.) . ' Answer I should not advise It for girls. Better go in for swimming, fencing, esthetic dancing, girls' bas ketball, hiking, tennis, skating or gym nasium class work. Every schoolboy, however should bo required to pass a proficiency test in boxing. Orange. Teuton, Crap' frit It. Is there any objection to drinking a cupful of orange juice every morning? Does it help to reduce? It counts as a breakfast for me, as I do not eat any thing else with it. (F. M.) Answer Xo objection if you like it. Of course no food helps to reduce, and orange juieo lemon juice, grapefruit lime or tangerine is food. All of these citrus foods contain citric acid, with more or less fruit sugar. The citric acid gives tho tart taste. It Is readily oxidlezd into carbonic acid In the blood nnd the carbonic acid combines with alkalies such as sodium and potassium to for malkaline carbonates. There fore nil of the citrus fruits or their juices tend to diminish any tendency toward acidosis or "atefd In tho sys tem." They all tend to render the ur ine alkaline.

Tho local desert Is more beautiful this spring than It has been at any other tlmo since the writer came to tlio valley. It Is now covered with leagues of gold, purple and yellow. Every resident of the valley should make a special effort to see it, partic ularly that portion alonK the Crater Lake hishway liMween Medford and Enstle Point. The writer lias had several inni!ries regardlm: the names of the flowers now in bloom on the desert. The most conspicuous and abundant nlant now In bloom is known ns Gold Fields, nnd belongs In the sunflower family. This flower now di,niinates the entire ii,M-t with its. endless waves of yel low n:id C"m. In maiiv lac.s the side. of the h.iwjy ami many of the depressions in the pastures and meadows are cov ered wilh beautiful carpets of purnle flowers, about six Inches high. This is the purple or throe toothed clover. It Is a true clover, furuUlies nutritious pasture and, heing a legume, is a won derful soil enricher. The wet swales and hollows are cov ered with a dainty white flower, known, as scorpion flower or white riddle neck. This belongs to the borage family, which also Includes one of our most abundant and obnoxious weeds In alfalfa and (train fields, namely the fire weed or fiddle neck. This name is appropriate since the flower raceme Is curved like the neck of a fiddle. In the pasture just north of the Hubbard orchard a large area is cov ered with delicate pink flowers, borne In dense, round clusters on plants about a foot high. This is the beautl rul pink valerian.
