Boer Girls Wedding.

"a wedding is always an event of al
most national Importance, and is real
ly a most picturesque ceremony" in
the South African Republic, says the
January Ladies' Home Journal. THE
friends and relatives may arrive a day
or two ahead of time, according to the
distance to be travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes a most animated
scene Scores of OK teams are scatter
ed about the surrounding plain; negro
domestics are bustling around; guns
are fred promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the
cottage and everywhere around it; i'm
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided. and joy is uncon-
fined. After the ceremony and after
all the guests have kissed the bride
and bridegroom, the wedding feast is
eaten, and then the guests spend the
night in dancing and playing games.
1t would be a breach Of etiquette for
any of the guests to depart before
dawn, and, indeed the folders music
and the sound made by dancing feet are
often heard until Don of the follow
ing day. The wedding tour consists
of a journey to the cottage and farm
which the husband has secured from
his father and which adjoins the old
homestead"

Mrs. Van Dusen was born in Hills
boro, N. G. Her father was Robert
O'Daniel, of County Cork, Ireland, her
mother was u Miss Jackson, of Vir
u cousin of "Stonewall" Jack
son of Confederate military fame.
1t will thus be seen that the new
deputy marshal comes of ''good fight
ing stock" Marshal Green says he
will arm Mrs. Van Dusen with the reg
ulation weapons and insist that she
''carry a gun, " the same as a man.
If she does there is no doubt she will
know how to use it in Ease of ~necessi-
ty. But the necessity will hardlyarise.
No Texas tough would 'pull a gum"
on d lady, even if she be a deputy mar
shall.

LAUGHTER A GREAT TONIC.
Keeps the Spirits Buoyant, the Heart and
Face YOUNG.

Il presume if we laughed more we
should all be happier and healthier
writes Edward w. Box, in the Ladies'
Home journal. '"True, we are a busy
and q very practical people. And most
OF US probably find more in this life to
bring the frown than the smile. But.
nevertheless, it is a pity that we do not
laugh more; that we do not bring our
selves to the laugh, if need be. For
we all agree that a good laugh is the
best medicine in the world. Physi-
clans have said th-t no other feeling
works so much good to the entire hui
man body as that of merriment. As q
digestive, it is u%nexcelled; as a means
OF expanding the lungs, there is moth
ing better. 1t keeps the heart and
face young. 1t is the best of all tonics
to the spirits. 1t is, too. the most en-
jOyable of all sensations. A good laugh
makes US better friends with ourselves
and everybody around us, and puts US
into closer touch with what is best
and brightest in our lot in life. 1t is
to be regretted, then, that such a po-
tent agency for u personal good is
not more often used. 1t costs nothing.
All other medicines are more or less
expensive. 'Why,'said an old doctor
not long ago, If people fully realized
what it meant to themselves to laugh,
ana laughed as they should, ninety
per cent. of the doctors would have to
60 out of business Probably when
we get a little less busy we shall laugh
more. For, after all, the difference be-
tween gloom and laughter is but a step.
And if more of us simply took a step
aside oftener than we do, and rested
more, we would laugh more. By
Laughing I do not mean the silly giggle
INDUCED in by some women and so
many girls. There is outward mark
which demonstrates the woman of shall
low mind SO Enthusiastically as that of
| giggllng. There is no sense in the gig.
gle; no benefit to be derived from it.
1t makes a fool of the person herself,
and renders every one about her I'm.
comfortable. But just as the giggle
is the outcome of a small mind, the
hearty laugh is the reflection of a
healthful nature What we want is
more good daughters in the world-not
more gigglers."
