JUST WHY WE LAUGH
LEARNED DEDUCTIONS ON THIS
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
Originality of Laugh Meant n Crow of
Triumph Over the Fallen Foe
SavaSes Laugh When They See Pain
Inflicted.

Why We laugh is a question that has
always puzzled those who are accus-
toned TO think deeply. The laugh,
which is now so closely associated with
good humor and kindly feeling, orig
lnally expressed the exact reverse II
was the crow of triumph over a fallen
foe. Such is its nature still among
savages. and its unexpected manifesto
tions are occasionally very startling.
Dancing on the body of a PROSTATE
enemy is, in fact, to them hilarious
fun.
Any new device for torment is
clever jest. The inficting of CHASTITY
wound as some poor wretch runs the
gantlet makes them yell with glee. The
things that shock or horrify or dis
gust the civilized man are about the
only things worth laughing at from a
savage's point of view. With the ex-
ception. therefore, Of rough practical
jokes. which may possibly wrinkle his
stOlid features with a mOmentary grin,
the barbarian has no appreciation OF
civilized humOr. Even the knowledge
that he himself is to be the next vic

spectacle for barbarian thorough
bred
Some Siamese who had been engaged
in a revolt were captured redhanded
and sentenced to military execution.
A company of soldiers had been drawn
up with loaded muskets, before whom
the doomed men were led out in squads
of five or six to be shot. while those
who were waiting their turn stood by,
under guard looking on. When the
first volley was fired the victims. torn
by the storm of bullets, leaped into
the air with violent contortions and
fell dead. And this to the poor
wretches whose turn ii was to next go
through the same experience seemed
so fine show and so eXcruciatingly
funny that they were fairly convulsed
with laughter
Such is the humor of the unciviliZed,
and such doubtless were the begin
Strange as it may seem. there are
many hints Of this barbarouS origin
in the fun Of the most highly civilized.
We no longer laugh at really tragic
occurrences, it is true, for other and
more humane emotions are too strong
ly excited. But if we chance to see
ridiculous mishap which does not
quite rise to the dignity of tragedy
an accident by which some one Is
greatly inconvenience and annoyed
without being seriously injured-the
remnant of the savage breaks loose in
us, and we laugh, sometimes until the
tears come.
