Laugh and Get We'll.

"Laugh and grow fat" is a saying which is worthy of consideration from many sufferers in body as we'll as mind.
 Laughter, real and hearty. has . de. cided effect on the physical organism. It causes the arteries to dilate, so that they carry larger supply of blood to tho tissues of the body, and the heart to beat more quickly, 50 that the flow of blood throughout the vessels is speeded. In other words, laughter pro- notes the best conditions fur an in. crease of the vital processes. the tissues take up more nutrltive material and the waste of the body is more rapidly removed.
 Laughter is not only the expression of joy, but also its inspiration. Often hearty laugh. excited in spite of ones sadness, will change the current of ones thoughts and alter entirely one's mental atmosphere.
 This happy effect is due in part to the increased flow of blood to the brain, which is thus put in better working or der, and mind and body gre SO closely associated that they act and react upon each other. Thus melancholy causes lsssitude in the first place, but contin- ued lassitnde, in its turn. reacts on the mind and causes depression.
 Doctors will often confess that a hearty laugh is of more value to a pa- tient than all the drugs they can pos sibly administer. Let those who feel i'll without knowing why, who are bil- ious and who feel life burden, try a course of amusement instead of physics. Let them read the funniest stories, 20 to the most amusing plays and enjoy the fun and laughter of children-it is irresistably infectious. A good laugh two or three times 8 day will work wonders for them, and when they have had it for a week or two then let them enlighten their friends as to their latest and most successful medicine. .-Ex. change.

what We Most RemelnDcr.

Memory is for the most part "a trivial
fond record" of the affairs of everyday
life, and our intense desire not to lose
the remembrance of these unimportant
everyday matters is one of the greatest
testimonies to the predominance of
happiness over unhappiness in the
world. Do we not feel sorry from our
hearts for any one who has lost such
an infinitely precious possession with
out even wondering whether or no
there was anything in their past lives
worth recollecting? After all, how few
are the hours which any of us would
blot out OF our lives! Those perhaps
during which we have witnessed or
suffered acute physical or mental pain,
the moment when we engendered the
worm of remorse which dieth not or
those few minutes of humiliation
which, whether we trace them to fault
or fate, remain in our minds to "veX
us like thing that is raw" But how
small is the part we would have taken
away compared to the part we would
retain-London Spectator.
