Laughter as a Physician.

outlook upon NE and nnfits one for
companionship and usefulness but

'Cbeerfhlness is gift Of some natures,
melancholy curse-of others. Care
sits easily upon one; the same burden
brushes another. But this is all the
more reason why the saturnine teih.
perament should strive to overcome
its tendency.
Worry, grief, anxiety, unduly in

which drive out laughter, cheerfulness

which, while not criminal, are Ger.

the form Of rounded contour. As
long as they are INDUCED in all pre-.

IN the death OF PrOf. John Fiske, oil
Harvard University, America loses one
OF her most learned, erudite, brightest
and charming historians. He was
historian, scientist and philosopher,
and possessed the faculty OF making
history, science and philosophy inter.
esting to the average reader. His
"Darwinism and Other Essays" his
Excursions OF an Evolutionist," his
History Of the American Revolution"
and his "Old Virginia and Her Neigh
bora" are the works OF a mind thor
oughly in sympathy with the ambi-
tions and aspirations OF the human
race. Prof. Fiske's histories are an
imperishable legacy to li;s; country
men, and his writings are destined to
prove Of inestimable value to those
who wish to study the historic devel-
opment and progress of America and
to trace the scientific and philosophic
progress of the age in which we live.
He has done more to popularize the
study of American history, and Amer
lean institutions than any other
learned writer of his generation. The
world is far better and richer tor
John Fiske having lived. He is one
OF the benefactors OF the human race.

went to heaven, and was promptly

Threatened men live long" Some
times--when, for instance, they
chance to be criminals whose counsel
are anxious to make a record. AL
most ten years ago man named
Nordstrom in the state OF Washington
was convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
That sentence has been thrice re-
affirmed, but the man has not been
hanged yet. The State Supreme
Court and the United States Supreme
Court have had the case before them,
in form of exceptions and objections,
during these ten years, and the con-
demned mans attorney declares that
he has still "many cards to play"
Such an attempt "to cheat the gall
lows" has the EVIL effect Of arOusing
against convict a sentiment which
is not easily to be distinguished from
yindictiyeness.
