Laughter Better Than Pills.

What to Eat: The cure for the bill
lious man is a clown, not pills. For in
digestion go to a show where there are
one or two first-class fools who know
how to make monkeys" of themselves.
The fun, however, should be clean. in
nocent, harmless and hearty, with nc
suggestion of indecency or ~Vulgarity.
In other words, the fun should be "hy-
gienic." Fun that is foul and malo-
dOrOus is unhealthful.
The best sort Of fun for the dySpeptic
is the fun that burlesques the follies
and fOibles of the d characters" you
have met. If you can't find the show
with the burlesque artists who can
make you laugh, seek out companions
who are jolly and who know the art of
clOWninG.
Don't let any h~alf-baked idiot load
your mind with his business or domestic
troubles. When you get an hour or two
from the desk or store, abandon our
self willingly and cheerfully to the
the ~frivOlities of a jOcular friend.

Oxford University Bankrupt.

According TO an official statement
made by the master Of University col
lege, Oxford, the most ancient and emf
lent Of British universities is practical
ly bankrupt. While most of the indi-
vidual colleges are able to meet expen-
ses, the institution Of which they form
parts has run behind in the last two
years to the extent Of over $4,000. The
showing would be worse if a number of
items of expediture a not been charg-
ed to revenue instead Of TO capital.
