LAUGHING.
The Wide Difference That is Noticed
Among Various Methods.

From the Now Orleans Times Democrat
I'm all the wide range of evolutionary
studies there is nothing quite so interesting
to me the wide difference in the matter
of laughing" said a thoughtful man. "and
/ have often wondered why some man with
chances to observe the differences not only
among individuals belonging to the same
| racial group. but among races, had not de-
veloped the more striking difference. We
have dealt with other important differences
the difference in vocal range and tone. We
have developed in our evolutionary studies
the marked difference between the music
of primitive and civilized peoples. the broad
difference, for instance, between the SIMPLE
monotonouS scale of the F1gian, and that
complex bit of sublimated harmony. the
symphony. Why not develop the range OF
laughter among individuals and races? 1t
would be an easy matter to do this. Bo-
sides. what more cheerful study can one
pursue than the study of laughter?
What more alluring theme can we nnd
in the whole category of subjects relating
to human kind? Laughter! To think Of t
is to smile, TO enthuse, to become cheery.

rosy glasses of optimism. Laughter Is
music. 1t is the bubbling forth of the finer
things of the human voice. 1t is perfected
music. 1t is the sum total. the final all, In
the matter of welded, rhythmical tones.
Yet, men and women laugh in different
keys and different scales. Often laughter
is as the silvery tones of the oriole. Some
times 1T is the clear brass ring OF the black
bird calling to her brood In the black gum
tree. Laughter is sometimes sharp cut

times 1t is the one voice I'm the scale OF

VERY ACUTE HEARING.
Birds and Beasts Can Detect Sounds
to Which We Are Deaf.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Most people suppose mole to be dumb
but 1t is not. mole can give sound so
shrill that 1t hasn't any effect the
human ear at all. and another sound SO
low and soft that no human being can hear
IL Yet a weasel can hear both these
sounds as plainly you can hear the re-
port of a gum and sound registering ma
chine, the phonautograph, will show them
both, with scores of other sounds you are
deaf to. The usual note of the mole is a
low purr, which it uses a good deal while
at work under ground, and it can also
shout at the top of its voice If hurt or
alarmed; but though it shouted and purred
in your ear you wouldn't hear 1t. The
sound register, however, with its delicate

HANGED IN A COURT ROOM
Charles f. l.. Henderson Hanged at
Duluth, MIMI, for the Murder
of Ida Mccormick.

Duluth, Mimi, March 7.-Charles E.
L. Henderson was hanged at two
o'clock Friday morning, in court
room No. /, where the gallows had
been erected. He showed no emotion.
He was granted permission to talk
about thirty minutes. He expressed
no sorrow for his deed, and said that
it would come out that the crime
was unpremeditated. After talking
for about half an hour he said:
II am ready"
He held his hands behind him for
the cuffs, and the black cap was adj
justed and the trap sprung.
Henderson's crime was the murder
of his mistress, Ida Mccormick. The
Mccormick woman is said to have e.
ceived attentions from other men,
and Henderson, in fit of jealousy,
lay in wait for her in her apartments
one night and literally cut her to
pieces with an ak. This is the first
execution to take place in ST. Louis
county
