Laugh end Grow Eat.

Garrick was in the midst Of a cage
dy when suddenly he stopped and roar
ed with laughter, What was the cause?
Why, simply this: A butcher in the
front of the pit who had taken off 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 fore paws resting on the pit
ratings.
This is as good an example as could
be found to contest the foolish assertion
that all laughter has its rise in some
thing inevitably lowering TO human ma
ture. 1t was pure incongruity.
The French tell us that ''le rire est
hygienique. " We knew that even before
they made the phrase, but it is we'll to
have their confirmation of the fact. Sa-
luxurious? Why, of course it is. For
what purpose else did our wise forefa-
theirs keep certifcated fools to make
sport for them at their meals and in
their intervals of business or more
methodical pleasure seeking?-All the

Napoleon's Genius In War.

The conquered MilaneSe were by a
magical touch provided with a provi-
siOnal government, ready, after the
tardy assent Of the directory, to be
changed into the Transpadane republic,
under French protection. Every detail of
administration, every official and his
functions, came under Bonaparte's di-
rection. He knew the land and it's re-
sources, the people and their capacities,
the mutual relations of the surrounding
states and the idiosyncrasies of their
rulers. Such laborious analysis as his
dispatches display, such grasp both of
outline and detail, such absence Of con-
fusion and clearness of vision, such lack
of hesitanoe and definition Of plan,
seem to prove that either q hero or q
demon is again on earth.
All the capacity this man had hitherto
shown, great at it was, sinks into insig-
nifcance when compared with the
Olympian powers he now displays and
will continue to display for years to
come. His sinews are iron, his nerves
are steel, his eyes need no sleep and his
brain no rest. What captured Hun
garian veteran said Of him at Lodi is as
true of his political activity as of his
military restlessness: "He knows moth
ing of the regular rules of war. He is
sometimes on our front, sometimes on
the flank, sometimes in the rear There
is no supporting such a gross violation
of rules - His sense and his reason
were indeed uutrammeled by human
limitations. They worked on front, rear
and flank, often simultaneously and al
ways without confusion. Professor

Largest Regimental Loss.

The largest regimental loss on either
side during the late civil war was sus-
tanned by the Twenty sixth North Caro-
ina-Pettigrew' brigade, Heth's divi-
sion. They had full quota of 500 men
on July 1, 1868, but in the single battle
of Gettysburg lost 58S men, Sc killed
and 500 wounded, not including the
missing" of which there were 100.
According to Colonel w. F. Fox, in one
company, Sc strong, every man was hit,
and the orderly who made out the list
did so while suffering from wound in
each leg. Surely those were times which
not only sstried mems souls, y but made
heroes of those who survived and mar
tyrs of the dead. -St Louis Republic.

the fat woman with the bundle and has
been plaoidly spreading herself over
three seats and congratulating her soul
that she is no hairpin to be tucked away
in corner The bundle is securely
tied, and no public eye can make out its
contents. Two minutes after the stop
the fat woman has made up her mind

rises to her feet with a majestic move
ment, yanks that bundle off the seat in
an imperious manner, and marching TO

The New Birth of India.

No one can tell what Alexander did
for tho world when he made the Greek
language coextensive with his empire,
and which in after years became the
jewel setting for the matchless pictures
of the Son of Man, the Son of God, and
no one can fully estimate the vast and
splendid results wrought in India by
the introduction of the English Ian
guage.
That there arc millions Of iIliterates
in India cannot be denied. Education
has been confined too long to the few
and not to the many. Nor is this pecul-
lar to India. The masses have always
been allowed to burrow in ignorance,
and compulsory education is far from
an active law in this enlightened land.
During the reign of Pericles in Greece,
Augustus in Rome the masses knew
nothing of the refining and transform
ing air of intellectual communion, and
here in the fairest of all lands, where
schools are numerous and CLEAN like
gems upon the plains, where books are
widely circulated, where the printing
presses are dropping daily millions of
leaves, the black band of iIIiteracy is
seen stretching hundreds Of miles, and
mixed with the wheat of high literature,
temperance and moral beauty are the
tares of drunkenness, gambling and
lecherous writings, all permitted to
abound. And if the benighted Hindoo
once threw her child into the Ganges
we have parents committing deeds as
villainous and black Better throw an
infant into the river, with the hope it
will be cared for by a loving God, than
to offer grown children as living sacri-
fees Oh the bloody affairs of Bacchus,
Moloch and Mars The besotted deb
auchee is more frightful spectacle
than Hindoo mother finging her babe
to a crocodile or under the crushing
wheels of Juggernaut.
II we are looking only for vices, We
can find them as easily in America az
in India, as easily in ''palace decked,
church jeweled Boston" as in Lucknow
or Bombay. Home and Country.

decided to take Hoods and can honestly say that
