Eumor in the Family

Good humor is rightly reckoned a
most valuable aid to a happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is q
sense of humor or the capacity to have
d little fun along withthe humdrum cares
and work of life. We all know how it
brightens up things generally to have a
lively, witty companion who sees the
ridiculous points of things and who can
turn an annoyance info an occasion for
laughter. 1t does a great deal better to
laugh over some domestic mishaps than
to cry or scold over them. Many homes
and lives are dull because they are al
lowed to become too deep impressed with
a sense of the cares and responsibilities
of life, to recognize its bright and espe-
cially it's mirthful side. Into such a
household, good but dull, the advent of
a witty, humorous friend is like sunshine
on a cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say witty
or funny things, it is comfortably, seeing
what a brightener a little fun is, to make

we'll to turn off an impatient question
sometimes, and to regard it from a hum
orous point Of view, instead Of becoming
irritated about it. "Wife, what's the
reason l can never find a clean shirtl"
exclaimed a good but rather impatient
husband, after running all through the
long drawer. His wife looked him stead
lily for a moment. half inclined to be
provoked; then with a comical look she
said: II never could guess %conundrums,
I give it up" Then he laughed, they
both laughed, and she went and got his
shirt, and he felt ashamed OF himself and
kissed her, and then she felt so happy,
and SO what might have been an occasion
for hard words and unkind feelings be-
came just the contrary, all through the
little vein of humor that cropped out to
the surface.
Some children have a peculiar faculty
for giving a humorous turn to things
when they are reproven. 1t does just as
well sometimes to laugh things off as to
scold them Oft. Laughing is better than
Tears. Let US have alittle more at home.

The Dumas family has always been
remarkable for strength and address.
One night at the play, General Dumas,
the grandfather of Dumas the younger,
flung a man out of the stage box on to
the stage. Dumas the elder was of
Herculean strength; and Dumas the
younger excels in all games Of strength
and skill; he is a master juggler, and can
put a frame of knives round a human
head leaning against a board with the
most consummate surety Of hand.
George Sand was a brilliant pupil of
Dumas the younger, and in her later
years she used to amuse herself for days
with this perilous pastime.

Panegyric and enthusiasm naturally

"That little girl That little girl is

N. Y.-Gentlemen: A lady Of W. 70
years of age, in failing health for over a
year, has been using Warmers Safe Bit
ter's on my recommendation. She feels
very grateful for the benefit she has de-
rived therefrom, and says that until she
used it her stomach could bear no vege-
table food for over three years. l be-
lieve it to be a certain specific for dys-
persia. Warmers Safe Pills are also
meeting with very good success, in all
forms of Liver Complaints, Malarial
Troubles, Dumb Ague, and wherever a
safe and efficient cathartic is required.

Plain Words are Best.

We learn that certain people find
fault with w. E. Clark, of Providence,
r. l., for not "writing up" his great
Kidney Medicine, HUNTS REMEDY, in
more 1owery style. 1t is not Mr..
Clarke but his critics who are foolish.
What does a man who is threatened
with Bright's Disease, or any disease of
the Kidneys, Bladder, Liver or any Uri-
nary organs, most require-ine words

gets the cure-a sure cure.

Live Items.

Some supposed friends of a newspaper
have peculiar ideas as to what kind of
items a paper requires. Not long since
a gentleman came into the Galveston
News sanctum and said: Look here
You miss a heap of live items. I'm on
the streets all day; I'll come up once and
a while and post you"
"All right, fetch on your items; but
remember we want news"
Next day he came up beaming all
over. 1--WE got a live item for you.
You know that internal bow legged gor-
lila Of a brother-in-law of mine, who was
in business here with meF'
81 believe l remember such a person.
said the editor, YEARLY.
"Well, I've just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living, that he is 60
ing to run for the Legislature. Now,
Just give him a blast. Lift him out of
his boots. Don't spare him on my &C
count"
Next day he came up again. "My
little item was crowded out. | brought
you some news" and he hands in an
item about a cat, as follows:
"a REMARKABLE ANIMAL. The fam
lily cat of our worthy and distinguished
fellow-townsman Smith, who keeps the
boss grocery store of Ward No. Is (beer
always on tap, yesterday became the
mother of five singularly marked kittens.
This is no the first time the unheard of
event has taken place. We understand
MIR. Smith is beng favorably spoken of
as a candidate tor Alderman"
The editor groans in his spirit as he
lights a cigar with the effort. 1t is not
long before he hears hat Smith is going
around saving that he has made the
paper what it is, but it is not independ-
env enough for a place like Galveston.
Many readers will Say this sketch is
overdrawa, but thousands of editors all
over the country will lift up their right
hands to testify that they are personally
acquainted with the guilty party.
