inducing the then Minister OF finance to give 1t

in his pride than in his pocket. From his earliest

contract, the 0descalchi claimed the right to re-
purchase their estate, he gave II back without
word, but continued to purchase land whenever 1t
was offered for sale. When, In 1852 q company
was formed for draining Lake FucIno, the Nea-
politan government Offering the drained land In

VOWED the total destruction OF the old cmissary

should follow the line OF the old out or ampler

plan, and the works were instantly commenced.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF LAUGHTER

DIFFERENT KINDS OF LAuGHrER.-
The language of laughter is a curious
study. 1t expresses almost every pas
sion, human and inhuman. Some laughs
are catching. Everybody has them Just
by hearing them. They are the most
contagious complaints in the world
Others have no character at all, and
have been described as "the cracking
of thorns under a pot" Never think
you have the complete measure of a
man until YOU have heard him laugh.
1t may betray in an instant what he
would not disclose in athousand words.
A hard, dry laugh 10 a sort Of geologist
1t detects the streak Of iron hidden in
the laughter. Every person knows
somebody with a SCATTERING laugh, but
gentiersn never spatter, only indirida-
ais: Earnestness and laughter do not
belong together Nature never laughs.
though one of the Howitts says of Aus
tralian soil '.You tickle it with the
hoe, and it laughs with the harvest. "
But Nature is always earnest She
seems to smile. but she never laughs.
The most contemplate Of the whole
cachinnation nation is the giggle. You
always feel Eke straugling it. and wish
il had been with the unhappy little
Princess in the Tower. It is worse
than litter. for it is noisier. 1t is
worse than a sneer. You can kick 6

more than you can make footballs OF
soap-bubbles.

Need we marvel that the story of the
Wandering Jew has been fun of attrac.
tions for poets and painters? 1t is
Just the sort Of subject on which the
imagination has plenty of material to
work upon. An old ballad relating to
it is given in Bishop Percy's Reliques;
the poem of The Undging One is built
upon it; so is Salathiel, and so is Eu-
gene Sues JuJ Errant, founded mainly
on an old collection Of popular French
ballads and metrical stories. The Rev.
Barring Gould has devoted much atten.
ton to the subject, but more with the
view of collecting and comparing the
various myths and legends than Of pre-
senting any Of them in poetical or fam
ciful form.
In our own day, Gustave Dore has
presented the world with twelve won.
derful designs, in which his exuberant
fancy has depicted the Wandering Jew
in many supposed incidents of his un-
dying career. There is the shoemaker
at his shop door, gazing at the solemn
procession to the place of cruciixion,
after the awful words had been uttered
by him. There is the wild scene in
which he is walking on during a rag
ing storm, and startled at seeing a
crucifix by the wayside. There is the
town scene, with men and boys assem-
bling to see the Wanderer pass by
There is the scene outside an alehouse,
with burghers uockingly asking him
to drink. There is the dismal scene of
the barefoot pilgrim wading through
marsh and slough, his tattered gar
ments blown about bv the wind. There
is the churchyard, with the clouds lnys-
teriously made up of beings celestial
and terrcsIial, to typify the thoughts
occupying his mind at that moment
There is the mountain scene, with trees
similarly presenting half-human out
lines; and another wherein angels and
Calvary are seen among the clouds.
There is the terrible battle field, in
which slaughter is going on all around
him; while he, the Undying One, cannot
give up life even if he would; and the
shipwleck, in which all are lost but he.
There is the valley full of snakes and
hideous reptiles, none of which can put
an end to his lonely existence. Lastly,
there is the Day of Judgment. in which
Dore's rich imagination has full scope.
