Tho Scotch Clergyman and His snuff.

A Scotch clergyman, much addicted
TO snuff, resolved to abandon the habit
and preached n sermon against it.
Some little time afterward, during the
course OF a sermon on another subject,
one of the elders, sitting Immediately
under the pulpit and within reach OF
the preacher, took comfortable pinch,
which 50 sorcly tried the minister's
self denial that he stretched out his
hand and, scizing the box, thus adj
dressed the astonished elder: After
the sermon that I so lately preached
against the vice Of snUffing, how can
you venture. sir. TO do this tapping op
the lid, and this topeniug the box, and
this taking n copious pinchl?" and then
handed back the box to Its owner.

the top of sky-scraper. l ducked
my head, lodged, then ran for
my life. A pair of white horses
attached to a blue cab ran into
me, knocked off my hat and I was be-
spattered with mud. The spectators
laughed; / laughed too; this proves
that laughter is infectious, or con-
tagious, or whatever you like. There
was certainly nothing very amusing in
the situation to me, and yet laughed
with the crowd. l remembered that [
had been struggling for years to have
people laugh at me, and SO ] thought
blithely, picked up my wounded hat
and walked merrily away.
ITS enough to make horse laugh"
is a common expression which we may
suppose arose from the usually accepted
fact that horses never do laugh. The
ability to enjoy wit and humor is one of
the nobler instincts of mankind, and in
proof of this the fact is cited that brutes
do not possess this faculty. 1t is, how
ever, a mistake to say that dogs, for in
stance, do not have a realization of
sense of fun, and in this they are shown
to be superior to all other members of
the animal kingdom. / knew Skye
terrier who would actually weep and
laugh upon provocation. Many time
have I seen the tears streaming from
his eyes. and when he was tickled I
have noticed q broad grin upon his face.
1t is an axiom that we judge of peo-
pie better by their popular songs than
by their sermons, and think all viii
agree that the world is brighter and
better for its laughter.
'They cannot be complete in aught
Who are not humorously prone;
A man without merry thought
Gould hardly have funny bone"
Trite but true is the oft quoted
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
weep and you weep alone" so let us
laugh. As to what we shall laugh at is
matter of education.

Matilda met Mr. Gresham, to whom she
was married when she was but eighteen
years of age.
The giddy whirl of Washington so
ciety win have less attraction for Mrs
Gresham than for any other of the cab
met ladies. She is no longer young,
and life with her has never been a holi-
day. Her idea has been the bee rather
than the butterfly. But she is a woman
of sterling sense and, being the wife OF
the secretary of state, she will enter
tain in the manner which the ineXor-
able unwritten laws of society pre-
scribe. Mrs. Gresham is really
charming hostess. She is such a thor
oughly domestic creature herself that
she succeeds without the slightest ap-
parent effort in making her guests feel
perfectly at home.
Mrs. Gresham is below the average in
height, and her figure is as slender as
that of schoolgirl She is not an OBJ
trusive conversationalist, but is exceed
ingly entertaining after she warns up
to the subject. Her hair is heavily
tinged with gray, and her physical APP
pearance would not seem to indicate
that she is able to stand a protracted
season of Washington balls, receptions,
etc, but her past experience has taught
her how co conserve her strength and
she has done an amount of work III the
way of correspondence for her dis
tinguiShed husband that is almost in
credible.
Mrs. Gresham believes that the social
success of the present administration IS
beyond question. AS she very aptly eX-
presses it: with young and charrn-
ing woman at the head of society, and
a number of young women whose hus-
bands are in the cabinet. there is sure
to be much to do, and every one pre-
diets an unusual season of festivities
Mrs. Greshams two children, Otto.
aged thirty-three, and Mrs. w. II. An
drews, have always lived with their
parents. This fact of itself speaks
volumes Of Mrs. Gresham's tact and the
attractiveness of her home.

SEABROOKE ON Fun.
Tho Comedian Talks Pleasantly
About His Trade.
He Thinks That Laughter Is Infectious,
or Contagious, and Cites Funny In
cident in Support of His
Novel Theory.

Did il ever strike you, as it often has
me, that the word fun is in itself
funny? asks Thomas Q. Seabroo!1e.
the comic opera fun maker, III the
Chicago Post. In fact. to ne, he cons
continues, the word and its derivatives
are the funniest things about it. We
often hear of comedians who are .'fune-
really funny"-and to own the truth,
am much afraid / shall be checked up
in that class, should this article appear
in cold type--but it is really funny that
that same dismal word would be FUN.
e-really- if we but changed the division
Of its svllables.
The old dictionaries set down fun
as "a low word,'' and its definition as
vulgar merriment:" but think modern
merry makers have reformed all that.
It is long exploded notion that in or
der to be funny one must be indecent.
To define fun is most difficult. and
when l am asked to do so l feel like
quoting Emerson: ST you ask me how
] dare say so. or why it IS SO, / am the
most helpless Of mortal men,
Fun embraces the entire range Of wit
and humor. believe all perfect hu-
manity enjoys a joke, but as regards
that which seems most comical to one

that is to say the juXtaposition of the

1t has been said that we laugh at humOr,
but not at wit. This is hardly true,
the amount of laughter in
cited by refined wit is vastly different
from that which broad humor compels.

or xot laughter is always caused by
merriment. | have known persons who
