WHY DON'T YOU LAUGH?
BY JAMES COURTNEY CHALISs.

Why don't you laugh, young men, when troubles
come,
Instead of sitting round so and gum:
You cannot have all pay,
And sunshine every day;
Whe" troubles come, say, why don't you laugh?
Why don't you laugh? Twill ever help to soothe
The aches and pains. No road in life is smooth;
There's many an unseen bump,
And many hidden stump
Ger which you'll have to iumT. Why don't you
laugh:
Why don't you laugh? Don't let your spirit
wilt,
Don't sit and cry because the milk you've spI':
If you would mend it, now,
Pray let me tell yon how
just milk another COW! Why don't you laugh"
Why don't you laugh, and make us all l'n!h, too,
And keep lis mortals all from getting blaze!
A laugh will always win,
If you can't laugh, just grin
Come on, let's all join in Why don't YOU laugh?

SHOT COOLS AS 1T FALLS.

The erroneous idea is held by some
that lead shot are made spherical by
falling from height. The only pur-
pose of lofty shot towers is to give the
shot a chance to cool and harden as
they tumble. They are just as per-
feet spores when they start from the
top as when they reach the well of
water 200 feet or so below. The use
fulness of the water is merely as soft
cushion to receive them. Shot cannot
be formed from pure lead, but an adj
mixture of arsenic causes the lead to
form globules, like mercury. The
motion mixture is placed in an iron
saucepan with perforated bottom, and
the drops falling through are the shot.
They must fall same distance in order
to get time to cool and harden. When
batch is thus made they are scooped
out of the water, tumbled about in a
revolving barrel with plumbago, and
finally put throught a series of sieves
to sort them into sizes for the market.

THE ART OF CONVERSATION

Takers are not those who have news
to tell. There mission is, as they are
described by the poets, to put in towords
what oft was thought before, but not
so well expressed. The mind is une-
quail to the strain of taking informa-
ton as such at the time We read
just as we dress in new garments-not
because we are naked, but because we
want to vary our garments. We read
poetry for inspiration, science for the
laws of life and nature, newspapers for
general information, essays and history
for relaxation and the basis of knowl-
edge Any one we'll read in these
must be an entertaining companion, if
the faculty of imparting the sum of
them be given. In other words, if he
or she be a good talker.
Lord Macauley, one of the best in
formed of his time, was so irresistible
a talker that whole companies sat for
hours to listen. His love of talking
was so inordinatc that cessation of
his wonderous outflow was jocosely al
ludcd to as a"brilliant flash of silence"
They had is is true, more time to talk
in other days then we can set aside
now, and there were other occult in
fuences not less conductive to engag-
ing garrulty. In those times the streets
We're filled with picturesque shapes
and colors--the nameless grace of COS
tunes and equipages now seen only on
the stage No wonder that, surround
ed by birds of such brilliant plumage,
courts and kings, robes and plumes,
clashing swords and rustling silks. our
fathers and mothers talked we'll But
in revenge we have vaster field to
draw on for sprightly conversation.
The schoolboy of today has greater
fund of knowledge by merely learning
life's needs than the best educated of
the ancients. But he should be en-
couraged to make use of this by talk.

Absolutely, Pure.
RECENT DISCOVERIES IN
PALESTINE.

The Quarterly Statement of the
Palestine Exploration Fund, in MOTTO
ing some recent discoveries by the So
ciety's officers, says: "Dr. Bliss exca-
vations in the Tyropean Valley have
brought to light very remarkable
stone stairway, forming part of a road
leading from the city past the
Pool of Sloan. This stairway is "a
feet broad, and on its eastern side is
parapet, apparently constructed to
prevent passengers falling over the
scarp which exists there. The steps
are thirty-four in number, so far as
discovered. They are about inches
in height, and are arranged in q sys-
tenn Of wildly and narrow treads alter
nately the wide treads measuring be-
tween feet and feet in breadth, and
the narrow ones about II feet. The
stones composing these stairs are well
jointed and finely polished by footwear.
1t is impossible not to be reminded by
this important discovery of the state
ment in Nehemiah iii, Is, that Shallun
repaired the gate of the fountain, the
wall of the Pool of Siloam, by the
Kings Garden, 'and unto the stairs
that go down from the city of David
1t not suggested that these newly dis
covered stairs are identical with those
mentioned in Nehemiah, but possibly
they may be on the same site. Also
another paved roadway leading down
from the top of the hill little east of
David's Tomb, and apparently contin-
uous with the long street which runs
through the city from the Damascus
Gate and traverses the present Jewish
quarters. In its width, in its curb on
either side, in the size and appearance
of its slabs, and in it's inclination, this
street resembles the one found in the
Tyropean Valley. Students of Jeru-
salem topography have long been of
opinion that such roadway existed
in this situation. The main thorough
fares of a city are apt to remain in the
same spot for ages, and it has always
been thought probable that the great
central street of the Holy City was
continued further south than the pres.
ent wall. OF quite special interest is
the rock tomb near the Tombs of the
Kings described by Mr.. Dickie. 1t is
the only rock tomb with vertical
shaft which has yet been discovered in
South Palestine"
