We are not disposed 70 say anything
about the physiology Of laughter. but
We are prepared 70 affirm that as q
tonic there Is r3thing within the pos
sibil.Jics Of human experience that can
match q good. hearty laugh. There Is
something democratic about a laugh
that makes il impossible 10 distinguish
whether il IS a prince or 2 plebeian
who Is moved 70 merrime1r. Hardly
greater tragedy could be perpeuated
than 70 wresr the power Of song from
the birds, but that would be Q small
calamity compared with the filching Of
laughter from life If the conditions Of
this world could be such as 10 afford 70
every human being the frequent en-
j0yuenJ OF a pure. hearty peal Of
laughter. there would be no need that
other favors be conferred. This alone
would be ample testimony that happi-
ness was paramount in the lives Of
men.-Baltimore Herald.

James Waldron, for several years

Centuries ago. by the waters of the
Bosporus, the Persian lover sought a
flower with scarlet petals and heart Of
gold. We call it the tulip. To him 1t
was the emblem of love. In Persia.
parts Of Asia and on the shores Of the
Mediterranean the tulip grows wild.
Today the tulip beds near HARLEM are
among the wonders of that quaint
Dutch town. Though once the symbol
Of love, in our modern floral language
the tulip stands for Inconsistency. She
is called Haunting and bold. Hood calls
her "a saucy quean."

II is one of the most wonderful Of all
the phenomena that confront US in the
study Of nature that the tail Of the
comet, visible through such a vast area
Of space, is one of the most transpar-
ent of objects. The tail of the comet is
much more transparent than the
earth's atmosphere, as this at its best
would in bulk act as an opaque cur
tain. But stars are seen almost as dis
tinctly through the comets tail as
through the adjacent atmosphere. Com
cts change their form and appearance
with the utmost rapidity and finally
back steadily away from the sun, like
a courtier out of the royal presence.

and the technicalities.
BibliOgraph-A collector who writes
about his collections.
Bibliotaphe-A cautious collector who
keeps his books always under lock and
key in glass cases.
Bibliophile-A real lover Of books.

The Painter Won.

Often have painters and sculptors
discussed the relative merits of paint
ing and sculpture. A story is told of
an artist who resented the disparaglng
comparisons made by a sculptor and
laid a wager that he could within a
given time paint picture which should
display the human figure as complete
ly as any sculptor could.
The wager was accepted. and upon the
appointed day a painting was produc-
ed which fulfilled all the conditions. 1t
represented a warrior, his back to the
spectator. bending over a sheet of wa
ter, in the limpid surface Of which were
reflected his entire face and form. TO
the right suit Of polished armor hung
and threw back a full length profile
image. while mirror performed a
like office for the left side. The sculp-
tor. Of course. handed over the money
staked-Paris journal.

What Not to Lend.

Douglas Jerrold, the celebrated wit,
said: There are three things that no
man but a fool lends, or, having lent,
is not in the most helpless state of
mental crassitude if he ever hopes TO
get back again. These three things are
books, money and umbrellas. believe
a certain fiction of the law assumes a
remedy against the borrower, but
know of no case in which any man, be-
ing sufficiently bastard to gibbet his
reputation as plaintiff in such a suit,
ever fairly succeeded against the whole
some prejudices of society. Umbrellas
may be 'hedged about by cobweb stat
utes. will not swear that it is not so.
There may be laws that make such
things property. but l am sure that the
Kissing contempt, the loud mouthed in
dignation, of all civilized society would
sibilate and roar at the bloodless pol
troon who should engage law on his
side to obtain for him the restitution of
a lent umbrella"

7 earin Z Cards.

To tear a pack OF cards in two is re-
garied by some as a marvellous feat Of
strength. and yet the trick IS possible
70 any one with fairly strong fingers.
The secret Of The trick lies in the fact
that the entire pack i not torn at once.
but in pretending TO get a grip on the
pack the strong man 50 manipulates
the cards that they overlap IL this
way but a single card is torn at q time
and once the surface is torn the rest Is
easy. To any one who can hold Il pack
Of cards firmly the trick IS fairly easy.
and while in olden times a single pack
Of cards was considered 10 be the limit
Of strength many Of our strong men
tear three and four packs Ut a time.
The cards are restored to their orlgi-
nal form before being given out for
examination, and so the trick escapes
detection.
