Character IN the Laugh.

Telling character by the laugh is the
latest fad. An authority declares:
"There are as many laughs as there are
vowels. Children, who laugh on A (the
broad sound as in father), laugh openly
and frankly. The laugh in II Gas in
fete) is appropriate to melancholy dis
positions. The las in machine) is the
habitual laugh of naive, slavish, timid
or irresolute persons. The o indicates
generosity and hardihood. Shun like
a pestilence those that laugh in U; 1t
is the tone of misers and hypocrites. "
There is some truth in these rules, In
spite of their exaggeration.

The composted manure has all the
ammonia that the fresh excrement had.
and in available form for use. Thisis
especially true If either gypsum or Ger.

to absorb the ammonia. Most stable
manure is deficient in potash. The
