CHECKING LA GRIPPE. In New York the Board of Health decided that la grippe was spread by the unsmothered sneezes and coughs of the pyople, and that they were more "dangerous carriers of grippe and cold germs than expectoration." Spitting on the streets in 4ublic | places, and even against the trees, was forbidden. Amd about five hunt dred offenders were hailed before Jocal magistrates and fined oy lectur- ed for their offences, That the dis- ease was communicable and could be by precautions has heen shown hy its gradual disappearance from public places. Those who were 'under the weather staygd at home and nursed. their coughs joints. Those who vent were provided with muzzles or muffl- ars, and according to one public re- port, "kept their germs to themsel ves." All this suggests that our | Board of Health may not have heen | attending to their duties when they | failed to deal with la grippe.and its ravages. On "general principles it would not be amiss if a law were passed and rigidly enforced against expectoration in thé street or in { public places.

The savage tribes of darkest Afriea de- pend entirely upon the stomach for their happiness, and are never so pleased as when a toothsome mis- sionary strays into their midst and supplies them with tracts and soup bones. Civilized man, however, se- cures happiness by leading his mind away from people he owes and fast- ening it upon book accounts that will stand the shrink test. Happiness is not sold at the de- partment stores or quoted on the stock" market, which prevents so many people from keeping a supply on hand.

The bul- ging divorce court dockets of the United States go to show that happi- ness is not secured by investigating in a marriige license, a Prince Al-| bert coat 'and a second-hand , cook stove, gf Sw Riches do not always bring happi-| ness, either. There was .probably | more happiness to the square inch in this country when people were tom- pelled to live several miles apart and ride in plain, unvarnished buck- boards than there is now, when our population is divided into two class- ' ~e5 -- those who have money to lean and those who desire to borrow it. People live too close together nowa- days to be.real happy. If they would spread out more and lose interest in what is going on, in/ the next house to the right, we 'would all be happier and live bettgr, purer lives. | Happiness often banished by some thoughtless, unfealing act on; the part of a relative or trusted friend. For instance, a business man may come home at night glow- ing with happiness and hoar frost, and find that during the day his wife! has departed for South America with a hook-nozed chauffeur, leaving no- thing behind but sad memories and unpaid lingerie bills. There would be more happiness in this world if the Golden: Rule and see how it acts.
