Laugh and BE Glad.

eff we cannot all have a piazza, ev-
cry one may feel the sum-" says an Ital-
ian proverb which is characteristic of
that patient, cheerful race.
But, after all. it is the exceptional
life which has not in it much of the
sunshine. There is always gloom for
those who wish to dwell i'll shadow, but
an effort of the Will often carries one
out of that morbid desire into the clear
er, SUMMER mood.
Difficulties and troubles, If bravely
met, make strong men and women, but
endless worry and anticipation of evil
cannot fail to weaken the will and the
character.
Laugh and be glad now, today. If
you wait till you conquer your little
world. you will never laugh and be
glad. 1t is better to live in u castle in
the air than in the dungeons we allow
our low spirits and forebodings to build
for us.

A Good Policy.

The Dry Goods Economist says of
one store with which it is familiar:
EVERY employee in it seems to be
good natured. Why should there be
any difference in this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True, but
there is difference. The proprietor
of this store is not only a merchant.
but gentleman. He treats his en-
ployees with marked courtesy and con-
sideration. AS consequence they
feel SO kindly disposed toward him and
his business that their good will is re-
flected in their treatment of his GUS
toners" Some storekeepers never find
out why it is that SO few Of their
casual customers become regulars.

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
Legend of the Red Men Explain
the Strange Custom.

Legend of the Red Men Explains
the Strange Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men were weak and
animals were big and strong a chief of
the red men who lived in these noun
tains went out to get deer. for his
people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw deer
and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt tho sting of the ar
row, he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
Gle was almost exhausted, and
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear, who, you know, is the GRANDPA
Their of men, to save him.
"The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
"Now, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat of the bear or taste Of his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelled the blood and turned
away, but as he did so his foot scraped
the face of the man, leaving the marks
of his claws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured he was SO thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at ALL but left it until
it peeled off.
"Where the claws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the
blood stayed on it was lighter. Now
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or go to war;"

The quite erroneous idea that Welsh
is language of cOnsonants probably
arises from the number of VS. it con-
tains. according to u Welshman in the
London News. W. in Welsh is gen.
erally-aId always between two con-
sonants-a pure vowel. sounded like
100" in English. Thus ''cwm" is pro-
nounced ''koOm." rhyming with ''boOm.' -
What is really one of the most remark
able features about the Welsh language
is the number of vowels which can
come together In English three VOW
els in succession are not often met with.
In Welsh it is not uncommon to find
four or five-e. g.. in 'llywiawdwr
governor. Here each of the five :Ow-
els ''ywiaw" is pronounced separately
in rapid succession. Here are four
lines, consisting entirely of vowels.

Birds That Mahe N--eer NOfsea.
The bellbird, or campancrc, which is
found in South America ard also in At
RIGA, can be heard at distance of
three miles. Its note is like the tOlling
Of a distant church bell and is uttered
during the heat of tie day, when every
other bird has ceased to sing and ma
ture is hushcd ard silent. How the
bellbird utters this deep. loud note is
not known, though II is supposed that
Il heshy protuberance on it's head,
which when inflated with air stands
up like horn, is i'll some way the
cause of it.
The hOrnbill, bird which is widely
distributed in India, the Malay arcl i
pelago and Africa, has also very lOUt
note. Its call has been described as
between the shrek of locomotive and
the bray of Il donkey and can be heard
a distance of about Il couple of miles.
The barking bird also utters very
loud note; indeed. it is impossible to
distinguish it from the bark of u dog.
Its English name, says Darwin, is we'll
given, for l defy any one at first to
feel certain that a small dog is not
yelping somewhere i'll the forest. The
toucan has also the same popularity.

Ant Strength.

An English scientist recently weighed
small ant and a dead grasshopper
which it was dragging to it's nest. The
weight of the grasshopper was found
to be sixty times greater than that of
the ant. The force exerted by the ant
In dragging the grasshopper along the
road was therefore proportionately
equal to that of man weighing $50
pounds pulling load Of four and one
half tons or horse of 1900 pounds a
