LAUGHTER. Laughter is not q foolish
thing; sometimes there is even wisdom in
it. Solomon himself admits there is time
to laugh as we'll as a time to mourn. Man
only laughs-man, the highest organized
being; and hence the definition that has
been proposed of him, q Laughing animal.
Certainly it defines him as well as q @cook'
ing ANIMAL sstool-making animal" q
''money- making ANIMAL political ami
NAL or such like. Laughter very often
shows the bright side Of man. 1t brings
out the happier nature, and shows of what
sort Of stuff he is really made. Some how
we feel as if we never thoroughly know a
man until we hear him laugh. The, solemn,
sober visage, like a Sundays dress, tells
nothing Of the real man. He may be very
silly, or very profound; very cross or very
jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we can
decipher. him at once and tell how his heart
beats. We are disposed to suspect the man
who never laughs. At all events, there is
a repulsion about him which we cannot get
over. Lavater says, "Shun the man who
never laughs, who dislikes music or the glad
face of Child" This is what everybody
els, and none more than children, who
are quick at reading characters, and their
strong instinct rarely deceives them.

visiting every part of that institution and
making himself familiar with everything
that was going on. He wore an old brown
coat and ''stove pipe hat" and was not
generally recognized by the minor officials
or the soldiers. One day while walking
through the grounds he met with soldier
who was numerically beating mule.

ANIMALS APT TO FATTEN.-Headley, an
experienced cattle observer, informs us that
the lean cattle that have "broad, full and
capacious skull, with strong evenly bent
defective horns, and a neck thick at the
base and wide thorax" (breast) invariably
possess "a strong, nervous system and
the greatest aptitude to fatten early and
quickly; while those cattle that have ''long,
narrow and contracted skulls, and puny and
abruptly bent horns will be characterized
by weakness, wildness and slowness to fat
ten" So he says: "a small, dull, sun.
ken eye betokens hardness of touch and in
aptitude to fatten and bright, large and
open eye vice versa. These observations
have found to be applicable to any ofthe
kinds of cattle shown at the Newcastle mar
ket. But besides the shapes of animals,
the1age and ciassimust always have special
consideration, and be adapted according
to food and situation, otherwise the realiza.
tion ofremunerative profit will be uncertain.

THE SOLDIER AND THE THISTLE.

Little Minnie, in her eagerness after
flowers, had wounded her hand on q sharp
prickly thistle. This made her cry with
pain at first, and pout with vexation after
ward. ...,.. -; ~,
81 do wish there was no such thing as q
thistle in the world" she said, pettishly. "
Sand yet the Scottish nation think so
much of it, they engrave it on the national
arms" said mother. ......
'sIt is the last flower that should pick
out" said Minnie; 81 am sure they might
have found a great many nicer ones, even
among the weeds.
''But the thistle did them such good SER
vice once," said mother; ''they learned to
esteem it very highly. One time the Danes
invaded Scotland, and they prepared to
make night attack on sleeping garrison.
So they crept along barefooted, as still as
possible, until they were almost up to the
spot. Just at that moment barefoot SOL
dier stepped on great thistle, and the hurt
made him utter sharp, shrill cry of pain.
The sound awoke the sleepers, and each
man sprang to his arms. They fought
with great bravery, and the invaders were
driven back with much loss. So, you see,
the thistle saved Scotland; and ever since
it has been placed on their seal as their
national flower" tfgt
81 never suspected that so small thing
could savea nation,' said Minnie, thought
fully. -----.

KEEPING SWEET PoTAToEs.-My meth
cd of keeping sweet potatoes is to air dry
sand by spreading it on boards or board
walk dig the potatoes in the morning and
pick them in the afternoon, before the dew
falls, throwing out all the bruised ones.
Last winter I packed them in -four bar
rels-first a coat of sand, then layer of
potatoes, so that the sand would fill all in
terstices. If the sand is too dry, as when
dried in kiln, it will shrivel the potatoes.
I had room in the south side of my dining
room that kept the potatoes in after pack
ing them in the barrels. The heat from
the coal stove in the dining-room was all
that was given them, and I did not lose two
dozen tubers out of eight barrels; I have
found them as sound in the sand as when
dug in the fall. The outside dampness of
the potatoes should be well dried off. felt
myself amply paid by the treat they gave
through the Winter.-NesU Jersey Cor.

PRESERVING SWEET POTATOES.

El;tors Southern Cu1tsuator:-I will
give you my plan, or method, Of keeping
the yam potato, in q perfect state of pre-
servation, through the winter and spring
months and, in fact, I have seen potatoes
taken out of the cellar, in the fall, when l
was putting in another years crop, perfect
" sound. Thousands Of. bushels of pota-
toes are made, in this locality, and lost, by
not knowing how to take care of them, and
are enjoyed, only for short time in the
fall. Now, my plan is this; thoroughly
tested for sir gears, with perfect satisfac-
ton. I have a cellar ten by twelve feet,
and six feet deep, the plates supported by
q wall of brick, say three or four bricks
high, and the walls to extend beyond the
edge of the cellar from two to three feet,
to give good drain from the rains, and to
prevent rats from burrowing holes into the
cellar to let in water-with door in the
south end and plank floor laid across the
top of the cellar. Now, you have the des-
cription and plan of the house, (any other
size, on the same plan, will answer. Now,
get dry sand-I get the dry dust in the
roads, made by travel, in dry time-and
put it into one corner of the cellar, to be
ready, when the time comes, to house your
potatoes. Be certain to have the dirt or
sand perfectly dry. As you bring the po-
tatoes from the patch, put them in the eel
lsr, and for every three or four bushels,
laid away, take a shovel and throw on dry
dirt, filling all the crevices, and 50 on, an
ii" YOU finish. When the weather grows
very cold, throw into the loft, above, some
shncks, straw, orfodder, to prevent the po-
tatoes, near the surface, from chilling.
If you think the above method will bene-
LIT any of the readers, of the Southern
cxltiuator, you are more than welcome to
|giveit. -..r. Yours, very truly,

How TO GET BIG CRops.-As rule, far
mers are much more anxious to get big
prices than big crops. There are few far
mers whose average production could not
be doubled in a very short time by more
capital and labor. tits safer to use capi-
tai in farming than in almost any other
business. The credit of the plow is quite
as good as that of the loom or the anvil,
and the capital will come if it is called for.
Use more manure, and get thirty bushels of
wheat where you now get fifteen, and eigh-
ty bushels'of corn where you now get forty.
The quantity of grain grown per acre is
mainly a question of manure and tillage.
A big compost heap makes full grain bin.
With high manuring, the soil needs deeper
stirring, and gradual bringing up of the
subsoil to the surface. With the present
horse harrows and cultivators, nearly all
the cultivation can be done by horse pow
er, at great saving of expense, and a
great increase of the crops. Plant for big
crops next season.-Am. Ag.

THE CARE OF cHILDREN,s TEETH:

THE CARE OF cHILDREN's TEETH.
The following good advice on this i'm.
Iportant-but two often neglected-subject,
is contributed by DR.. j. W. Lyon to the
Herald Of Health:
As soon as the first teeth are fully erup-
ted, the child should be taught to cleanse
and brush them daily, using soft brush,
which will stimulate and strengthen the
gums, and keep particles of food from lodg-
ing between the teeth, where it would 9th
erwise remain, and By deeomposing, gene
rate an acid which is destructive to the
enamel. Many children suffer from the
decay at the first; this should not be al
lowed. 1t is very important that every
one of the temporary teeth should be pre-.
served sonndinI its place, until it has fulfill
ed its mission, which is to give the child
something to masticate with until the per
msnent set are completed, and the jaw sui.
ticiently expanded to receive them. Then,
lif the process of nature has gone on all
right the roots Of the first set will have
been absorbed away, and they will drop out
or can be easily removed by the fingers,
thus remaining to the very; last'to keep the
space open for the permanent teeth.
Many persons have anidea that the first
/ teeth ought to be removed in order to make
room for the second, and if they find the
tooth loose, off they 60 the dentist to have
Fit extracted, but if'he, is an honest man he
will say No, Nature is doing more for the
child than I can, let well enongh alone.
Sometimes this process Of absorption does
| not 90 on properly, a6d the second tooth
lis seen coming through the gums either in-
faide or. outside the proper line, while the
first still remains firm in its place. In such
lease b good dentist should always be con-
suited, who will know Just what to do: 1t
often happens that the second teeth come
in. crowded and tapping over each other ;
this can all be remedied by a skillful den.
tist, and; should sbe done quite young, be-
fore the jaw bones get ttoo firm and hard.
The best time:for regulating the teeth1is
between the ages of II and 18 years. q ;
Parents should have 3 weekly inspec-
ton" of the mouths Of the little ones, and
the big ones, too; until all the teeth are de.
veloped and in their right places. - Nor
should they rely wholly upon their own
Judgment, but occasionally have: them ex.
1amined by conscientious dentist, who viii
give good counsel and perhaps save much
ts1ffering. 'a'n.. .nTtt .l-.tg - *:ss,ess.
