HIMOR In THE FAMILY.

Good humor is rightly reckoned a
most valuable aid to happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is
a sense of humOr or the capacity to
have little fun along with the hum
drum cares and work of life. We all
know how it brightens up things gen
orally to have lively, witty compan-
ion who sees the ridiculous points of
things and who can turn an annoy
ance into an occasion for laughter. 1t
does a great deal better to laugh over
some domestic mishap than to cry or
scold over them. Many homes and
lives are dull because they are allowed
to become too deeply impressed with
a sense of the cares and responsible
ties of life to recognize its bri ght and
especially mirthful side Into such a
household, good, but dull, the advent
of a witty, humorous friend is like
sunshine on cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to
hear persons constantly striving to
say witty, or funny things, it is COM
Portable, seeing what a .brightener a lit
tie funiis to make Ian effortto have some
at home 1t is well to turn off an i'm
patient question sometimes, and to re
gard it from humorous point of view
instead of becoming irritated about it.
"Wife, what is the reason | can never
find clean shirt?" exclaimed a good
but rather impatient husband, after
running although the wrong drawer.
His wife looked steadily at him for a
moment. half inclined to be provoked
then with a comlcal look, she said, L
never could guess conundrums, | give
up" Then he laughed, and they beth
laughed. and sho went and got his
shirt. and he felt ashamed of himself
and kissed her, and then she felt hap
by, and SO what might have been oc-
casion for hard words and unkind feel
ings became just the contrary, all
through the little vein of humor, that
chopped out to the surface.
Some children have peculiar facul
| ty for giving a humorous turn to
things when they are reproved. 1t
does just as we'll oftentimes to laugh
things off as to scold them off. Laugh
ter is better than tears. Let us have
a little more of it at home.

THE TWO ETERNAL TYPES IN FIG
TION.
Hamilton W. Mabie. in the Ma

Hamilton W. Mabie, in the March Forum.
The novel of romance and adven-
ture has had a long history, and the
elements Of which it is compound
ed are recognizable long before
they took the form of fiction. Two
figures appear and reappear in the
mythology of every poetic people:
the hero and the wanderer: the
man who achieves, and the man who
experiences the man who masters
life by superiority Of soul or body,
and the man who masters it by com
pleteness of knowledge 1t is inter
esting and pathetic to find how uni
versally these two figures held the
attention and stirred the hearts of
primitive men; how infinitely varied
are their tasks. their perils. and their
vicissitudes. They wear so many
guises. they bear so many names. they
travel SO far and compass so much ex
perlenre that it is impossible, in any
Interpretation of mythology. to es
cape the conviction that they were
the dominant types in the thought OF
the myth makers.

New York Tribune: Rubinsteln, the
famous pianist, went to confession one
day in the kasan Cathedral, IN St.
Petersburg, after the confession he step
ped to the ''sacrlsty book" to inscribe his
name. The officiating priest asked him
his name, rank and profession.
"Rubinstein, artist" came the answer.

The two men looked at each other sew

eyes Frightening.
Merchant of the second class"
Then" cried the priest, with Joy, "at
last We know who you are. We shall
write, therefore Son of a merchant of the

This scene gave Rublnstein much food
for thought. 1t led him to establish his
conservatory and the musical society in
order to teach the Russian people what
the word musician" might mean.

Capitol Chat" in the Washington
Post: 1t tulns out that it was not
Mr.. Walker who inquired as to the
authorship of The Merchant of Ven
ice" on the floor of the house the other
day. as was generally supposed. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Bryan
of Nebraska, bent on making a strong
point IN his opposition to the presi
dents proposed bond issue, had the
clerk read the terms of the blood con
tract drawn up by Shylock. Before
Mr.. Byran could proceed to draw an
eloquent parallel between this and
the bond entered into by the presi-
dent and the money lenders some
member naively asked who wrote the
scene which had been read by the
clerk The voice came from the direc
ton of the house where Mr.. Walker
has his seat, and so far as the repor-
tiers IN the press gallery could make
out, the question was asked by that
gentleman. This now turns out to be
a mistake
The inquiry was made by Mr.. Boen
the Populist member from Minnesota.
Mr.. Boon IN part represents the state
IN which IgnatiUs Donelly, the author
Of the Baconian cypher theory, has
his home: and Mr.. Boen's inquiry
was prompted by desire to obtain q
categorical decision whether Shakes
peare or Lord Bacon was the author
of the play in question.
The entire incident, therefore, re
solves Itself into a mere question, by
the way, which Of two strongly sus-
tanned theories should obtain prece-
dence in the house of representatives,
and this explanation exonerates Mr..
Walker Of the remotest suspicion that
the spirit Of leyity could SO far tempt
HIM as to risk his regulations for deal
ing only IN tlttested facts.

At a recent gathering Of notable
men the after dinner chatturned upon
personal experiences, and a distin
guiahed jurist related this:
After graduation he migrated to a
Western town; months of idleness with
no prospect Of improvement, induced
him to seek new home Without
money to pay his fare, he boarded a
train for Nashville, intending to seek
employment as a reporter on one of
the daily newspapers. When the con
ductor called for his ticket he said:
L am on the staff of The of Nash
vile; | suppose you will pass me?"
The conductor looked at him sharp
ly.
The editor of that paper is in the
smoker; come with me. If he identi-
ties you, all right"
He followed the conductor into the
smoker. The situation was explained
and Mr.. Editor said:
"Oh, yes, L recognize him as one of
the staff; 1t is all right"
Before leaving the train the lawyer
again sought the editor
why did you say you recognized
me? I'm not on your paper"
I'm not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass and was scared to
death lest you should give me away"

HIGHLAND CENTER, Wis Feb 2S.-The
Wisconsin Bridge Il Iror, Co. of Milwau-
kee is building an iron fridge across the
Wisconsin, at Lone Rock, at a point con-
cernlng which romantic story is told.
1t Is said that in 1892, when Green Bay
and Prairie du Chen we're two important
trading posts, a French Canadian trader,
making the return trip to Green Bay in a
boat, after disposing of large amount of
turs and pelts, tied under ledge of rocks
at the mouth of Otter creek one evening
intending to pass the night here with his
one companion. His servant sought
shelter on the bank of the river. while
the trader remained in his boat to be near
his gold. During the night a severe
thunderstorm came up, during which
lightning struck the ledge of rocks, cay
ing them INTO the water. Nothing was
ever seen of the trader and his wealth. but
few pieces of the boat confirmed the
story told by the servant.

Among the ranks Of the japanese
army are many actors and reciters of
considerable reputation, for Japan is a
country Of CONSUMPTION. A writer, de
scrlbing his journey On a transport.
says: Every afternoon and evening,
when the routine of duty is over, the
men crowd around one who readily re
hearses some of the old favorite tales,
or gives them new one, or reads
aloud, in every case with plenty Of
dramatic force and with great success
if the frequent laughter and applause
may be taken as criterion. One OF
the best comic reciters. who frequent
ly displayed his talents before the of
ticers in the saloon, was finally invited
to dine with them while anchored at
the Tatung River, before separating
for Port Aurthur and Moukden. He
was profusely humble and finally beg
ged to be allowed to retire, though he
mad hardly eaten anything, pleading
sickness, but | heard afterward that it
was modesty and nothing else"
