Thus the more an object appears at
the same time strange and familiar the
more we laugh. The less we are capable
of perceiving these two sides, the less
we laugh. What, then, is the psychologl-
cal, law Of laughter? Our mind is a
force which has a unique office, its task
is TO enter all new objects into known
categories. When an object can find a
place in no category it entirely escapes
our thought. Whenever an object finds
place at once in two categories which
are exclusive the one to the other, 1t
shocks our thought. When an object
newly and regularly enters a category,
we experience the calm enjoyment of
thought, of knowledge; it is rational.
When new object presents itself, and
according to one view Is classed In the
list of the absurd, and from another
view finds its place in a category mark
ed familiar, thought experiences a spas
modic shock-it is laughter.

THE ANT-A WONDERFUL LITTLE
CREATURE.

CREATURE.
Boy and girl readers of this brief sketch
are no doubt familiar with the tiny little
insect known as the ant, but some Of
them do not know that a great man, Sir
John Lubbock, once governor Of the Bank
of England, wrote book about ants. He
and other distinguished men and women
have spent many days in watching them
and studying their habits.
The ant is a very industrious little in
sect, and a very skillful workman. There
are many different kinds of ants. Some
of them make their homes above ground,
of grass, wheat stalks, sand, etc, dome
shaped, and known as ant hills-in some
countries twenty feet highland others
burrow in wood or clay, making galleries
and chambers.
Among ants there are males females
and workers, just as among bees. The
males and females have wings for a
short time The workers take good care
of the eggs. and carry them from one
chamber TO another, according to the
amount of heat desired.
When the little white grubs are hatched
they are as helpless as the bee-grubs
and have to be fed and taken care OF
until old enough to spin coCGOns At
the proper time the workers cut open
these cocoons with their jaws and let the
little ants out
Some species of ants have a strange
way of going out in grea' swarms to.
capture the eggs and cocoons nf other
tribes of ants. These they carry to their
own colonies to hatch, and then make
Blaves of them.
The ant is placed by an inspired writer
among the -four things which are little
upon the earth, but exceeding wise" The

said the collector of coins who happened
to spy 1t. The man was SO delighted to
secure 1t that before leaving the shop he
bought several coins which he didn't
want. He paid only $6 for it. The same
day he received an offer of $3.50; later
$3.50 was offered by another gentleman;
5000 by another one, but the owner at
last accounts was holding it for $1,000.

LEARN no IlAUGH

A man is the only animal that seems
to have been made to laugh, and as
science teaches that laughter promotes
health, it is a sin for us to substitute
excessive drug-taking for laughter.
Laughter increases and helps the blood
circulation.
It enlarges the heart.
1t expands the lungs.
1t jiggers the diaphragm.
1t promotes the dioculation of the
spleen.
There was man who laughed so much
that when he died they had to cut his
liver out and kill it with a club.
Beware of people who have no sense
of mirth-they are not altogether hu-
man.
Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you-hang them on chair with your
trousers. or drop them in glass Of
water with your teeth.
If you laugh others will laugh and
you will be happier and so will the
others.
