Two Sorts of Men May Laugh Well.

A prominent Wall street banker and
broker, who is reputed to be worth
about ten millions, walked from his
private office the other morning into
the outer room, where was gathered
number of his friends and customers.
He was laughing SO heartily that his
cheeks were highly flushed, and the
merry peals echoed and re-echoed
through the room. Everybody turned
to look at him, and every other face
but one wore sympathetic smile.
The single exception looked very
grave, and watched the merry broker
with intentness. When the bankers
laughter had ceased he went back into
his Office, and the grave man said to a
companion:
"He laughs heartily, does he not3
Yes, it is easy for him to laugh,
whereas it is very hard for many
others. There are two kinds of men
who thoroughly understand and ap-
preciate laughter, in whom this ex-
preston of merriment is spontaneous,
light hearted, and without tinge of
the sarcastic or bitter. One kind is
the rich, successful men who are be-
yond ordinary cares and harassments,
and have learned to enjoy the power
of wealth. They can turn from any
annoyance or grief to the contempla-
ton of their success and be happy.
The other kind includes those rare be-
ings who are poor and don't attempt
to get rich. The plantation negro Is
type of this class, and occasionally
one encounters White man who is
imbued with the spirit of the proverb,
'As we journey through life, let US
live by the way But 1 must say the
rich mans laughter sounds much more
musical in my ears. The poor mans
contains little defiance and reckless
ness, no matter how sincere it is. 1t
seems to say, We'll, what of it? Pm
poor, but who caresp The rich mans
mcrriment, on the contrary, is free
from anything Objectionable. 1t car
ries with it an intimation or power,
and If there is a suggestion of surfeit
in it, is that an objection? Who would
not like to drink so deep from the
cup of pleasure as to make pleasure
lose its novelty? Wouldn't wc all
like to try itp think so. I only ask
that I may laugh like the rich man.
secure that my merriment today will
not be soured by reverses tomorrow"

WHEN FRYING.

In frying it must be remembered
that the bath of oil or drippings
should be sufficient in quantity to sub
merge the articles to be fried. and ho,
enough to coagulate every part of
their surface in an instant. However,
the temperature of the bath may vary
according to the kind of feed that is
