Laugh and Grow Fat.

Gerrics was in the midst of a tragedy
when suddenly he stopped and roared
with laughter. What was the cause?
Why, simply this: "a butcher in the
front of the pit, who had taken of his
wig to wipe the sweat from his head
had placed the wig for awhile upon his
large dog, who stood facing the stage
with his forepaws resting on the pit
ratings" This is as good an example
as could be found to contest the fool
ish assertion that all laughter has its
rise in something inevitably lowering
to human nature. It was pure incon-
gruity. The French tell us that ''le rire
est hygienique." We knew thateven be-
fore they made the phrase, but it is well
to have their confirmation of the fact.
salubrious! Why, of course it is. For
what purpose else did our wise fore
fathers keep certificated fools to make
sport for them at their meals and in
their intervals of business, or more
methodical pleasure seeking?-All the

The Country Woman's Hair.

AS general thing women living in
the country have more beautiful hal,
than those living in town, but they do
not arrange it TO any advantage. In
this, too, they are very conservative,
and never think of such a thing as even
trying to follow the fashions afar off.
They brush the hair back tightly from
the face with a brush dipped repeatedly
in water, and twist it into a compact
knot at the back of the head, just as
their mothers did before them. If they
ever curl it at all the curling is apt to
be done over a heated pipestem or but
ton-hook, SO that the most u~nbecoming
and unnatural kind of Kindness is the
result. Like Pleasant Riderhood, "thev
never seem able to enter upon any do
mestic undertaking without first twist
ing the hair into knots and tightly
winding it with both hands, while in
the hurry of the operation they carry
their backcombs in their mouths" Bv
taking a little care of the hair and
Studying becoming ways of dressing it,
ten years, at least, would be taken
from the apparent age of the farmers

They Made q Queer Mess of 1t in This
Happy Suburban Home.
They liked living in the suburbs, o
so much better than in town; the rail-
road ride was really beneficial to
health, and had they not gathered
three roses from the bush in the front
ward last summer? Still, there was a
serpent in their Eden and this serpent
was the hired girl-or the lack OF her.
So when the new n proved to be a
treasure life indeed put on a rosy u
to the young Flutterleys.
One evening, however, on coming
home Mr.. Flutterlev saw a tiny crease
on his wife's brow which even the per-
lection of the soup failed to drive
away.

the roast, a sight to tempt an anchor

if he should be arrested for stealing

the whole house vibrating with it's

HOME HINTS,


ment.
The dressing. table is now adorned
with collections of scent bottles, and
the bellies popularity is judged by the
length Of the line of these dainty aces
series for the boudoir. Some of them
are tipped with gold, others are stud,
ded with jewels, and many-in fact, the
majority-are of handsome silver fin
ish. The cut glass is combined with
the silver and gold, and the effect OF
the highly polished bottles on the
dressing table is pretty.
The old fashioned candle stick is now
used at the country houses of the smart
set and the fashion is to have a quaint
ly carved table at the top of the wind
ing staircase. On this are placed the
candlesticks with candles in them, and
the guest retires she selects her candle,
lights it and wends her way to her bed
room in the picturesque old fashioned
way of u great grandmothers. This
fashion has given the dealers an op-
portunity to make up some extremely
odd and pretty candlesticks and the
Japanese shops abound with them.
Several of these holders are made in
japanese ware in the shape of a fish
Or a dragon.
The newest fad in the boudoir or the
library is the low stool ornamented by
a cushion of silk or tapestry. No room
seems complete without them and they
are placed by the side of the fire
place. 1t comes in bamboo and fancy
woods and the cushions are sometimes
embroidered with a motto or they are
plain. In the white and gold rooms
these dainty stools are enameled and
the cushion is of a deep shade of vel.

And reads the paper backward, while
He holds 1t upside down.
Sometimes he cries, and oh, SO hard,
I think he understood
The good old doctor when he said
That it would do him good.

He has a wrestling match.
And kitty, 1t may be, will win

Selects a minor key.

So in his carriage there,
