why We Laugh, and WHY We Don't.


AnthropolCgists say that the ability
to laugh comes to the child as it grows
older The first smile is OBJ eyyed we
the child is about forty to sixty days
old. but it does not begin to laugh
until some time after that Accord
ing to Mantegs zza and Others. the pow
err of laughing has to be acquired, just
as a child learns how to talk or to
walk. Laughter at the earliest is cb-
served in infsnts only after they afe
three months old.
Children and women laugh more
than men. not because the cares of life
lies less heavily upon them, but be
cause the former are more exciteable
and because the moGeTnting power CT
the cerebral hemisphere is less In
them than among men generally.
Profound study makes men serious.
and so foolish people are sometimes
noted for laughing immoderately. Yet
laughter is not so much an index TO in
telligence as 1t is to the condition OF
health. Healthy, Vigorous people are
proverb.ally of good Eumored. ogo1s.
laughing natures. while the t417w.
gloomy eyed dyspeptic'~ is a DISC ip-
ton scientifically accurate although
it has its origin from the brain of
poet.
The envious. wicked and ma evclent
rarely laugh, because. phrenolcgists
say they are impregnated with bile,
and are therefore morose The hargh-
ty. the vain and the awkward sIso
laugh very little. for fear Of losin
their dignity. The Spanish people.
who are proverbially grave, are good
example.
People who have lines extending
aownwa,d from the angie at the m -uta
toward the chin well marked rarely
laugh and. moreover. show a rendenc
TO pensiyeness in youth and melan
choly in after life
Those who have lines raging cut
ward from the eyes are. on the car
trary. people who laugh a good deal.
especially when the upper lip is framgd

Lav.ter. the noted swiss Ehysio
zionist. says that frank. easy. cspious
laughter indicates a good soul devoid

a great many wrinkles running OBJ

the eyes. They also have full. open
lips and round, large forehead.

A NEW SHOPPING SCHEME.
How New York Dry Goods Houses Get
Business.

HOW New YORK Dry Goods Houses Get
Business.
''You won't have to go as far as the
racetracks if you want to find tout
said a policeman who had lately been
transferred to the shopping district.
There's lots of them here on this new
post of mine.
when first came on the post was
kept guessing at the reason for the
crowds of women in front of big win
dows. l never could get near enough
to get onto the game for what show
has a man to get into a crowd of
women looking at new style Of some
thing to wear? l could always see one
woman close to the window give
another a card or write something on
a slip of paper At last l got so
worked up about it that / asked my
wife to lind it out for me. 1t seems it
wasn't anne but business but things
are that mixed nowadays you can't for
the life of you tell where a game stops
and commercial enterprise begins
When a woman stops and gets to look
ing a. some bargain in the window the
woman alongside of her just mentions
in ladylike way that she saw. some
of the same goods down the street, and
1t was cents a yard cheaper or some
such thing as that. That starts them
talking. and maybe the first lady
thinks she will go down to the other
place and have look to see If the
goods are the same thing. She may
want to make sure of the address, for
it's hard 10 make your way when the
place is so crowded, and then the 9th
er lady happens just by accident to
have one of their cards, which she
picked up when she was in there get
ting something. They work it mighty
fine and make it seem as natural as
you please. but every one of them wo-
men is a tout for the other shop. Think
of the sLlartness of them, It's like
getting a st.tble tipAon what TO wear

Running an Express Engine

The general public has no idea what
the engine of an express train means.
1t is no exaggeration to say that. while
the train is running. the engineers
whole soul is in his work, and that he
has no time to think of anything else
but his engine and the signals ahead.
An express train often travels at the
rate OF sixty miles an hour, and then
signals viii be passed every four min
utes. and it can readily be understood
that an engine travelling at that nigE
rate of speed win require constant at
tention.
The strain on a mans mind working
IN engine a long distace without stop
ping, is very great, and could not be
endured for many hours together; be-
sides. il would not be safe for an eu-
CINE TO travel more than $50 miles
without being examined. and that dis
lance is about the maximum any en-
CINE runs on one journey
