Laughing a. a Medicine.

Persons suffering from rheumatism
are naturally anxious to try every pro-
posed remedy John Raymond, of north
ern Iowa, had tried without relief nearly
every alleged cure suggested by friends.
Then he read this in medical journal:
"Therc is more benefit in a good laugh
than in the hot water remedies, the faith
cures, the electric, and all other new
treatments in the world, and it costs
nothing. If you know Of nothing else to
laugh at, laugh at your neighbor."
This was a new idea to poor Mr.. Ray
mond. But what should he laugh att
In the house was nothing amusing.
However, the medical journal said,
Laugh at your neighbor.'
He went out on the front porch, and
sitting in q chair, watched the people on
the streets. For time he saw nothing
funay. Then big German walked by,
muttering aloud TO himself.
"Ha, ha, hal" went Mr.. Raymond.
The big German stopped and looked.
"Vot's dot?"
"Ha, ha, hal'
"Votvor you haw, haw, haw, NIT meY
"Ha, ha, hal"
over the fence leaped the big German
his fists uplifted.
"Ohp cried Raymond, T-I meant
no harm. l was laughing for my
health"

necent Applloations Of paper.

The year 1891 was certainly one Of
those in which new industrial applica-
tons Of paper We're most numerous.
The idea Of using paper in place Of stone
in the construction of houses is already
old, but paper to take the place of glass
in windows, of clay in howerpois, of
iron in railway rails, wagon wheels and
horseshoes, of porcelain in laboratory
ware, of wood in barrels, it having al
ready taken TIE place Of that material
in small boats, paper in pulleys, are APP
phcations as novel as bold. The manu-
facture of window panes of paper was
Grst tried in the United States.
The panes have the appearance of
milky glass, and the property Of inter
oepting the light rays while letting the
heat rays through, which makes them
suitable for greenhouses. 1t is estimated
that a paper window pane ninety-foul
by sizty-three centimeters in dimensions
in wooden sash with iron appliances
will cost about eighty-five cents, and
last on an average four years. - f.

Mnter Clncl,a In chinn.

In the history of the Tang dynasty it
is stated that in Persia at the same period
there was a clepsydra on terrace near
the palace, formed of balance contain
ing twelve metal balls, one of which fell
every hour on bell and thus struck the
hours correctly It is deemed not mn
likely that this instrument was identical
with the celebrated one which the king
Of Persia sent in the year sO7 TO Charlie
magne.
In 1913 the astronomer Tsiangproduced
an improvement on all former instru-
ments-a machine arranged on a sort Of
miniature terrace, ten feet high and di-
vided into three stories, the works being
in the middle. Twelve images of men,
one for every hour, appeared in turn be-
fore an opening in the terrace. Another
set Of automata struck the hours and
eighths Of hours. These figures occupied
the lowest story.
The upper story was devoted TO as
tronomy, containing an osrery in mo-
ton. Very complex machinery must
have been required. AS TO the nature
Of the mechanism nothing is known ex.
cept that it was kept going 10y falling

Inasmuch as the Arabs had reached
China by sea at the close of the Eighth
century, some assistance may have beer

Peter the Great thought to civilize his

posed tax of 100 rubles ON the wealthy

peasants and laborers. Now it was a
superstition among the poorer people
that no beardless son of Adam could
ever enter heaven, and being obliged TO
part with their boards the great ma
jority treasured up their hairs TO be
buried with their bodies. In dealing
with his soldiers the great Peter enlisted
the aid Of the priests, who cunningly
pointed out the fact that they were go

their patron, ST. Nicholas, would be un-
able TO distinguish them from their enc

This was all right, and the boards of

at happened in this way. At very
early age my tendency for mercantile
pursuits developed. At school noticed
very general demand for candy and
cakes and an exceedingly limited supply
in the market Many Of the children
possessed coppers and nickels, but it
was nearly mile from the school house
TO the country town, and the boys were
compelled to forage upon the neighbor-
ing sugar cane fields and orchards TO sat

full survey Of the market ] decided that
the school was confronted by condi-
ton, not a theory.
"In a few days had secured the CO.
operation Of half a dozen boys, with
capital Of thirty cents, in which held
ten cents Of the stock, and was conse-
quently named as president and man
ager of the candy store which we pro-
posed to open on the grounds. We found
an enormous dead and fallen tree, whose
butt end offered little resistance TO ou-
penknives. At noon one day / notified
the stockholders that meeting would
be held Immediately after school, and at
that meeting l, as president and man
ager, cut an opening into the dead tree,
fashioned a shelf therein and attached a
door, while the stockholders looked on
in admiration. then proposed that early
in the morning each stockholder should
bring with him five cents worth Of
candy wherewith TO stock the juvenile
store.
ITO my astonishment it was moved
and seconded and carried that the candy
should be purchased and delivered at
once. so that the store might have an
early and perfect opening. Tired as l
was / repaired TO the town, invested my
ten cents in cheap candy, returned to
the school grounds, where already the
twilight was making ghostly figures
among the trees, and deposited my treas
ure in the store. 1t was quite dark when
reached home, and being unable to ac-
count for my whereabouts the presi-
dent and manager went to bed supper

effects Of switch literally applied.
Next morning hastened to the school
grounds in order to be first at the cere-
monies. Imagine my surprise when l

their interest in the enterprise and then
