As the pen is sometimes mightier
than the sword, so the laugh is on &C.
casion ps powerful as in e%loquence the
spoken word.
There are many different kinds of
conversational accomplishments" re-
marked Il man well up in the ways Of
the world, and Ihave paid due atten-
ton to the cultivation of such as lie
within my range. Great is language
great, indeed-and beautiful withal.
Next to my limited ability with words,
however, | rank my faculty of using
the smile or the laugh, as the cast may
be.
Il don't mean pleasantly and mirth,
as domestic social graces, but as defen-
sive business artillery. OF course a
mans first impulse when another mis-
guided man makes Il palpable nov to
do him up or asks some unreasonable
and preposterous business favor is to
enter on wordy opposition, strenuous
naturally and perhaps violent. This, l
have learned, is waste of nervous force
and allows argument on the part of the
unfriendly man who is trying to make
the touch. The stronger weapon is to
laugh-just laugh. Utter not Il word,
no matter how much the other may
say, but just keep on laughing. I've
routed many deep laid, dishonest
schemes with a good, hearty laugh. Try
it.'-Detroit Free Press.

Tic London nus Driver.

Catch Il driver when II clumsy dray-
man has fouled his wheels or blocked
his way or when Il rival bus has stolen
a march on him. Then you will under
stand the Londoner's boast that the
cockney is the readiest, the wittiest, of
all his maiesty's subjects. The tongue
is not his only weapon. | remember
once starting from the Mansion House
on Il bus the driver of which had been
m%addened by some remark of the con-
ductor on the bus just in front of him.
The two belonged to rival companies
and were travelling the same route,
They talked it over with pungency and
zest from the Mansion House To st.
Paul's. At the top of Ludgate hill, one
of the regular stopping places, the driv-
cr made up his mind he could stand 1t
no longer. He got down from his seat
and pommeled the conductor heartily
for two minutes. 1t refreshed him so
much that ut the next stopping place
he did il again. BY the time Charing
Cross was reached il had become Il
habit with him. Whenever the buses
stopped there would be Il brisk setto,
the intervals between the halts being
filled with an exchange of prophecies
as to what would happen ut the next.

ANIMALS WITH HANDS.
The Use of the Paws In Conveying
Food TO the Mouth.

FoOu 10 tne MOUTH.
Kangaroos use their hands very
readily to hold food in and to put it to
their mouths. AS their fore legs are so
short that they have to browse In a
STOPPING position, they seem pleased
when able to secure a large bunch Of
cabbage N other vegetable provender
and to hold il in their hands TO eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo, look
ing out of the pouch, catches one or
two of the leaves which the old n
drops, and the pair may be seen each
nibbling at the salad held in their
hands, one, so to speak, zone floor
above the other. In alice In Wonder
land the lizard is always making
notes on a slate and then trying to rub
Them out again with his fingers. Many
lizards feet are so like hands that 1t
is rather surprising that they are only
used for running and climbing. But
that is the main purpose TO which
lizards apply them. The slow, delib-

The precious or noble or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the col

opal, or girasole, with hyacinth red

comes from Hungary and the latter
