LAUGH THRICE A DAY.

 It has been said that we grow in lace as we grow in thought, and that our faces are mirrors of our souls, but do we ever stop to think that our faces affect our souls also? And if they af- feet our souls they also affect our health, for health is to a greater or less extent controlled by the mind and soul.
 It is fact, as we have found out. that wne-begone expression will drive every one away from us. Even fortune deserts us. If we sink in melancholy and indulge ourselves in our fancied or real ills of mind or body we become diseased. While on the other hand cheerful view of life is better than medicine. A bright smile is always a winner, and it's possessor can guide late wherever she chooses.
 On the other hand, if woman sits down and broods ever her own ugli- ness, longing for beauty, she will grow aglier and uglier evnry day. She should cultivate smile and practice it fre- Quently, no matter whether she feels like smiling or not, and laugh. It is a tonic
 Laugh methodically if you cannot laugh any other way. Make it a busi- oess to laugh three times a day no mat ter whether there is anything to laugh at or not. Laugh with others. even if you do not see the joke. If there is no joke this fact merely makes one, and laughter being contagious every one around you feels exhilarated and more cheerful, and laughter as a duty be- comes habit, ard one forgets to frown and groan and sigh. Laugh whenever seized with desire to cry or scold.

A Lamp In His Pocket.

Not very many men carry lamps in
their pockets, but there is at least one
man who does, and that is the lamp
lighter on the elevated road. It is III
alcohol lamp, like a section Of brass
cylinder, five or six inches long and al
inch through, and with a slender tube
two or three inches long, holding the
wick, projecting at one end. The lamp
lighter comes in at the front door of the
car with his lamp lighted. With q rapid
ease acquired by experience he lights
the six lamps, seeming almost not to
pause in his progress through the car.
If he is in tho last car Of the train, as
he pulls down the chimney over the last
lamp he has lighted and turns toward
the rear door he blows out his own
lamp and drops it in his pocket. His
hands are now free. He throws back the
door, walks out upon the platform,
opens the gate and steps off upon the
station platform or down upon the other
side, ready to board the next train. A
touch Of match will light the alcohol
lamp.-New York Sun.
