The Arkansaw traveler., 1883-10-13


 would have made a good companion for Myson. the Greek philosopher, who was one day found laughing in a solitary place. Some one came up 10 him on a sudden and asked him why he laughed when he was by himself: For tha, very reason" he replied.
 There IS the hearty laugh. the cou- vulsive laugh, the explosive laugh. the he-he laugh and the uproarious, almost ,umbie-out-of-your-chair laugh. There was the laugn ot Prince Hal. who was said 10 laugh till his taoe was like we, cloak-ill lad up.' There is the incipient laugh. which is not a laugh but a smile The late Charles baekus, the minstrel. who i, will be remembered, had a very large mouth, was once having hts photograph taken. The operator told him to look pleasant, to smle little. The famous minstrel gave an elaborate smile. .oh! that will never do,' sald the photographer. It's to wide for the instrument Speaking of western actress the reporter wrote Her smile opened out like the Yosemite Valley Tn a May morning." When Miss Mare Wil,on, the English actress. played Hes ter Crasebrook in the " Unequal Match her laugh was said to be of the character that first as 1t were looks ou, of the eyes to see if the coast was clear. then steals down into pretty dimple of the cfeek and rides there in an eddy for awhile; then waltzes at the corners of the mouth like thing oflif then bursts ss bonds oi beauty and tlls the ar for q moment with shower of silvery tongued echoes, and then steals back ,o it's lar in the heart to watch again for is prey" How different from the klnd of laugh ot Prince Hoare. friend ot Haytion. the painter. This gentleman was delicate teeble-lookirg man. with tim,d eN- pression oi face, and when he laughed heartily he almost seemed to oe crying l, runs in families sometimes to d,stert the countenanee in laughter. Mir. La boachere speaks of family who laugh great deal, and who always shut their eyes when they do so. IL Is funny a, the dinner table. when something wi,;y is said. ,e look around and see the same distortion on every face. There IS Eo, an eye left in the family. \ tho oi sisters Is spoken of who show halt an inch of pale pink gums when they laugh. In their presence. like Wendell Holmes. one never dares to be as funny IS one can. for fear of seeing this appalling triple oi gums. \ laugh Is sometimes only | sneer. piogenes, ot tub notorie,y. saw ] great deal oithis kind of laughter. Some one saId to him, Many people laugh ai you But L. he quickly replied, am not laughed down."
 The reader bent on laughable infor- nation may no, be aware that there IS a kind of laughter peculisr to young girls. especially suitable to the summer months. 1, goes like this: "Te-he, te-he. Ha, ha. ha Gh-h- h-h--ha. ha, ha '" The directions are as toll avs: A low and sly oeginning IS made with the te-he, as though mir,h was struggling inside to break ou, through maidenly reserve. and the.mouth Is kept tght closed. while the eyes are opened wide. thus giving an expression of mingled demurcness and misehieyousness. Then follows the Ha ha. ha. higher and louder, with parting of the lips, io show the teeth if they be white and regular. The Oh-h-h comes next, in a tone of surprise, reproof or art less gaiety. according 10 the nature of the thing laughed al. and the voice rises into pretty ll,tle scream. The ensuing cause covers sudden sense of the lm- propriety of making so much noise, the eyes are cas, down, and d blush can in most instances be produced by holding the breath with the lungs very fully in. fiated. The final Ha. ha ha , IS given as a creseendo, spiri,cdly and without any show of restraint, like the outburstng hilarity of an unconventional mllkmaid With little atere,ion this laugh can De made to tii any mouth.
