JusI Laugh.

AS the pen is sometimes mightier
than the sword, so the laugh is on oc-
casion as powerful as in eloquence the
spoken word
There are many different kinds of
conversational accomplishments" re-
marked a man well up in the ways Of
the world, land l have paid due atten-
ton to the cultivation of such as lie
within my range. Great is language
great, indced-and beautiful withal.
Next to my limited ability with words,
however, | rank my faculty of using
the smile or the laugh, as the case may
be.
Il don't mean pleasantly and mirth,
rs domestic social Sraces, but as defen-
sive businCss artillery. OF course Il
mans first impulse when another mis-
guided man makes Il palpablc move to
do him up or asks some unreasonable
and prcpoStCrOus business favor is to
enter on Worly opposition, strenuous
naturally and perhaps violent. This, l
have learned, is waste of nervous force
and allows argument on the part of the
unfriCndly man who is trying to make
the touch. Tho stronger weapon is to
laugh just laugh. Utter not a word,
10 matter how much the other may
say, but Just keep on laughing. I've
routed many deep laid, dishonest
schemes with 4 good, hearty laugh. Try
it."-Dctroit Free Press.

Colonel vGA Siegen. q Dutch artist OF
German extraction. holding an APP
pointment at the court of the land
grave of Hesse-C assel, was the in
ventor of mezzotint. that branch OF
engraving which comes nearest to ma
ture, though II is far from being the
best means Of artistic expression
1t dates from about 1914 and is said
10 have been suggested by the rust on
weapon which soldier was clean
ing. The first fruits Of this newly dis
covered process consisted of a picture
of the landgrave's mother. the dow
ager landgravine, which Siegen pre-
scented at court, stating that no copper
plate cngraver or artist could explain
or imagine how IT was done.
Evelyn, in his 'Sculptura," 1862, at
tributes the invention to Prince Ru-
pert. An original letter Of Siegen's
still In existence proves this to be an
error, for Siegen met Prince Rupert in
Brussels in 1854 and disclosed the proc,
ess to him then and there, knowing
that the prince had already practiced
etching.
More than hundred engravers in
mezzotint did for the pictures of Sir
Joshua Reynolds what line engravers
had done for Raphael.

That we have not entirely lost the
animal basis Of Judgment, the sense of
smell, is proved by the fact we do
tell ourselves very much Of other peo-
pie by the nose, often unconsciously.
The blind distinguish their friends by
the smell Of handkerchiefs or coats.
Unconscious sensations and uncOn-
scious judgments have their field. We
know far more by smell than is sup
posed. Some classes have apparently
become degraded in senses as well "a
habits, for their basis Of social judg
ment~ is below that of the animals.
Those who have had their senses keen"
ly educated are accustomed to judge OF
persons by Odors. Australian children
possess the doglike sense of trailing
people by scent, and experiment re-
veals that this is to some degree pres
ent in every one. Strong attachments
are not so rigidly ideal as we like to
suppose. There is physical basis to
all our likes and dislikes. 1t is this
which underlies the demand of refined
people that their friends shall be clean
ly.-Open Court.

Drivers Who Throw Their HorAe


''There ought to be n license system
or some scheme to prevent such fell
low driving a horse" declared lover
of horses as n heavy truck horse fell
in Broadway the other day. That
ignorant blockhead made that shorse
fall. He turned the animal so quickly
that he simply threw it off its feet.
Now several score of trucks will be
blocked until the horse gets on its feet,
and then the driver will take it out Of
the poor animal by jerking at the bit
or beating it.
"a man wouldn't trust an automo-
bile to a fellow who didn't know how
to run the machine, and the law would
not allow him to, but he will trust his
horse to a boy who hasn't the first idea
of handling horse. Half the drivers
of trucks and delivery wagons need
some elementary lessons i'll how to
drive. and most of the accidents on the
streets are due to their ignorance and
stupidity."-N York Press.
