Natures Best Tone.

Laughter is undoubtedly one of
Natures greatest tonics. 1t brings
the disordered faculties and func-
tons into harmony, it lubricates the
mental bearings and prevents the
friction which monotonous, exact
ing business engenders. 1t is d.
vine gift bestowed upon us as
a life preserver, health promoter a
JOY generator, success-maker.
Life, with the average American,
is too serious at best. Never lose
an opportunity for relaxation from
the stress and strain of your business
or profession. Every draught Of
laughter, like an air cushion, eases
you over the jolts ard the herd
places on life's highway. Laughter
is always healthy. 1t tends to bring
every abnormal condition back to
the normal. 1t is panacea for
heartaches and life's bruises. 1t is a
life prolonger. People who laugh
heartily keep themselves in physical
and mental harmony. and are likely
to live longer than those who take
life too seriously.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
Dust From Wood Ashes Causes
Mans Hair and Beard
To Vanish.
[Lesueir Mimi Dispsteh.l

liFNue W b'SF"'"'I
Rodney Clifford, of Mentonne, in
this county was the victim of very
strange accident or occurrence this
morning that is perhaps withou
parallel.
He has wood furnace in the
basement of the house, and, as he
burns good deal of wood, large
quantities of ashes accumulate in
the cellar. For some reasons he has
not, according to his usual custom re-
moved the ashes for two or three year
and there was a large pile of them
in one corner of the basement. ond
he concluded that it was about time
he got them out, SO he employed a
man to assist him on the outside and
he shoveled the ashes into baskets
and handed them up to his assistant.
The work was very hard.the base
ment very warm and ashes very dry,
so that in a few minutes after the
work commenced the basement was
filed and continued to be filled with
cloud of dust from the ashes and
Clifford was and continued to be in a
lather of sweat.
He noticed that his face and eyes
smarted good deal from the dust
but thought nothing in particular of
it for a long time. He was bare
headed all the time and at last he
felt a smarting on his head where
the dust had worked into his hair
and, taking out his handkerchief to
wipe the sweat and dust away, what
was his horror in discovering that he
Immediately wiped every particle of
hair off his head.
The dust of the ashes had combin-
ed with his perspiration to form a
strong I've which had eaten into the
roots of the hair and caused it to
loosen and fall away as soon as he
touched il.
The effect was the same on his
beard, mustache, eyelashes and eye
brows and the man was as bald as a
billiard bali as soon as ne rubbed his
head and face.
The skin peeled off his face and
neck very badly, too. and, taken all
together. he is a sad looking sight
and in a most painful and embarras-
sing condition.
His physicians assure him that he
will come all right again in time,
but, even if he does, he will let some
one else shovel out the ashes after
this.
The reason he never had this
trouble before was that his cellar
used to be very damp and the ashes
soaked in the moisture and were not
dusty, but he had the floor cemented
before this last lot of ashes was de-
posted and no moisture could reach
them.

PUT THE FISH ASLEEP.

j. NJ. Herring is the appropriate
name of the fish inspector at Hilo,
Hawaiian islands. In a recent report
he says that the food fishes of Hawaii
are rapidly disappearing because of
the slaughter of those not fully grown.
Ignorant natives and Japanese la
borers are responsible. Besides using
small mesh nets they have a method
of making a catch which is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Herring.
"'The natives use a mixture or COM
bination of herbs known as auhuhu or
aka, ball of which when deposited

the fish rise to the surface the natives

the settler who would go upon this
land, redeemed from the wilderness and
make them contribute to, the wealth

Democratic party, with the exception of
two or three western men, said, No,
you cannot do it, it is unconstitu-
tional.'"
Col. Hepburn went on to praise the
Republican party for preserving the
single gold standard against the ag-
gressions of the Democratic party. and
then came downNo long and learned
discussion Of the tariff. He said that
upon the protective tariffA realized
through the passage of the Dingley bill
the United States had risen to its proud
position as the leader In the financial
world today. 1t was the protective tar
if which gave to the laboring man his
good wages and good homes. The OPP
posite put him out of work and made
misery for himself, his wife and his
children.
Then the speaker said a few words
to the young men about ready to use
the ballot. He told them to start right
and to start in the Republican party.
He paid a tribute to labor, saying it
was from the millions of workmen in
! the United states came the wealth that
made the nation so great. He eulogized
the men who had followed the flag In
the days of civil war. The Republican
party was really the custodian of the
Stars and Stripes. 1t was great ma
ton with which the people of Hawaii
had become AFFILIATED. The Constitu-
i ton of the United States was as much
for Hawaii as for the mainland; its flag
was as much ours in Hawaii as for
those on the mainland.
You are more likely in your needs to
be hampered by Democratic obstruction
than any other part of our govern
ment," continued Col. Hepburn.
Then he spoke directly to the women
in the audience, as a portion of the
womanhood of the United States. They
ought all to be Republicans. To them
would come quicker the misery of a
change from the protective tariff to the
free trade policy of the Democrats.
They would see more of the miseries
of lack of food and money than the
men, and therefore he would expect
them to be Republicans. 1t was such

blood in the streets of Paris more than

that is raising the red flag OF anarchy
