Tho Value OF Laughter.

The great safety valves OF the
human engine are tears and laughter.
Laughter, especially, distinguishes
man from the brute and shows that
his cnjOymcnts are intensified by the
gift OF reason, that his mirth Is a
thing OF instinct merely, but accom-
panied by the thought and action OF
controlling intellect.
A man can usually find within
himself sufficient cause TO excite
wholesale weeping; but his needed
amount OF laughter must generally
be provided by somebody outside or
himself as IL were. And the man
who can skillfully provoke a genuine
article OF side-splitting laughter is
much scarcer than the man who is
willing 10 take drink at somebody
else'S expense.
The Maryland Medical Journal
says:
THE physiology OF merry laughter
Is worthy OF study. 1t Is the dance
OF the diaphragm which tips rhyth-
mically upon the underlying abdUm-
inal organs, exciting IcristalsiS and

profit by the deep indrawing OF fresh

inward organs, the windpipe is

The March of Color.

In the early months OF summer
white flowers predominate in the
northern field and garden. In July
yellow flowers begin TO prevail and
their reign seems TO culminate in
August, which Is the month par ex-
ccllenCe OF golden hues In Scptem-
ber and October the aScendency
passes TO blue and purple blossoms.
One cannot help noticing that this
march OF color among the flowers,
carrying them from white in the
spring TO blue in the autumn, recalls
the supposed progression OF age among
the stars as indicated 10y their COlors.
1t has generally been thought, al
though the ract has not yet been
finally demonstrated, that the white
stars are the youngest, that the yell
low stars represent the md-season OF
solar life, and that the deeply colored
stars, red, purple, and blue, are those
which are fast passing into decadence.
IL this Is true, then In the heavens
also we may say white is the color OF
springtme and purple the badge OF
the season OF decay.

The I2olian Harp.
