A Beautiful Idea.

Away among the Alleghanies there
is q spring so small that single OK
could drain it dry on summer day.
It steals its unobtrusive way among
the hills till it spreads out In. the
beautiful Ohio. Thence il stretches
away thousand miles, leaving on
its banks more than a thousand vii
lagos and cities and bearing on its
bosom more than half thousand
steamboats,. Then joining the Mis-
sissippi, it stretches away some
twelve hundred miles more, till it
falls in the great emblem of eternity.
1t is one of the great tributaries of
the ocean, which obedient only to
God, shall roll and roar until the
angel, with one foot on the sea and
the other on the land, shall lift up
his hand to heaven and swear that
time shall be no longer. So with
moral influence. II is the rill, the
rivulet, the ocean, boundless and
fathomless as eternity.

PHILOSOPHY or LAUGHING.

n Bad Per the Health.


% Bad Pcr the Health.
Again Q word about the philoso-
ply of laughter. When the system
i nerved and Is making conscious or
unconscious effort, the nerves that
tighten the walls of the blood yes
sells are hard at work, and pressure
in the arteries is great; but hearty
laugh, Is Brucke's interesting exper-
iments show, tends to bring the
blood over into the veins where there
Is no pressure, relieves the arteries
and brings the exquisite sensations
Of relaxation Of rest. This 10 IA
vored even by the attitude of q
hearty laugh. To draw in full
breath, throw back the head, open
the mouth and let the expiration
sgurgle forth with sonorous inter-
mittence," to quote a phrase from
the PHILOSOPHY of Laughter" and
to do it again and again slowly
throws of the chains of the worlds
great taskmaster and brings rs back,
back toward the primeval paradise,
where there was nothing but JOY,
and sin and sorrow were unknown.
Once more, optimism is one Of
the supreme sedatives. There are
men who worry because the sun viii
sometimes 20 out and the earth grow
dead and cold like the moon, or the
coal measures be exhausted, or the
fertile areas of the world dry mp
because Of the denudation of for
ests, but the philosophy of health is
that the best things have not hap
pened; that mans history has only
Just begun; that, on the whole, there
has been steady progress; that in
virtue, comfort, knowledge, arts, re-
ligion and nearly If not quite all the
essentials of the further develop
ment of man, faith in human nature
and belief in a future better than
the present is the conclusion Of ev-
cry philosophy of development and
evolution. 1t is our good fortune
to live in day of the evolution Of
evolution, and this is giving a new
meaning to the very word progress
and makes us feel that the world il
rational and beneficent to the core
and that where conscious purpose
and effort fail we sink back into ev-
erlasting arms. This is a sanifying
point of view authorized now by
both science and religion and is a
good psychic state to sleep on or in
which to enter the'great rest.-Ains-

Too Much Fault Finding.

Henry Crabb Robinson, the kind
ly and philosophic barrister, once
gave an effectual rebuke to the hab
it of fault finding. 1t was, as we
read in his diary, during a visit to
Paris.
He had spent the day in sightsee-
ing with a London acquaintance,
who said to him at parting, 81 will
call for you tomorrow"
81 viii thank you not to call" re-
piled Robinson. 81 would rather
not see anything else with you, and
I will tell YOU frankly why. / came
to Paris to enjoy myself, and that
enjoyment needs the accompaniment
of sympathy with others. Now, you
dislike everything and find fault
with everything. You see nothing
which you do not find inferior to
what you have seen before. This
may be ali very true, but it makes
me uncomfortable. So ] shall be
glad to see you in London, but NO
more in Paris"

for these diseases, we have yet to learn OF
a single case having resulted In pneu-
