In a farmhouse near the Delaware
river, in Hunterdon county, New Jer-
sey, resides a family of chronic laugh
ers. The parents and their children
have an affection of the muscles of the
mouth and throat that compels them to
give vent to apparent merriment at
frequent intervals during the day. The
malady first appeared in the father.
While seated at the dinner table one
he, without any apparent cause, burst
into a loud fit of laughter, and contin-
ued laughing for several hours. Doc
tors were consulted, but they were
forced to admit that the malady baffled
them completely.
Some weeks later Susie, the young
est child, burst into a similar fit dur
ing one of her fathers attacks. From
that time onward she laughed without
cessation for four or five hours at a
stretch. One by one the remaining
members of the family fell victims to
the strange complaint. Charles, the
eldest son, had his first attack while
proposing for the hand of a girl at
Wilkesbarre. The maiden accepted
him, nevertheless, and her children
We're taken with regular attacks at the
same hours as their father.
The entire family including the
grandchildren, have laughed incessant-
~ for years, and this has had a strange
effect on their voices. Both men and
women talk in the same tone, resem-
bling the voice of an alto singer.
SOLITL .JE
There are some souls that ever walk
alone
In this brief round of human life.
Sitting within the ever rising moan,
Lest it betray their constant inward
strife.
No soft, caressing hands are laid in
theirs,
No voices speaking kindly words of
cheer.
We meet and pass them unawares,
(Tho' they see us) and check the rising
tear.
These as a cereus of a midnight
bloom,
Be rare and fair, tho shrouded mid
the gloom.
The mystic law of life would still be
incomplete
Unless the path of fate which they
have trod,
Still bore the imprint of their weary
feet,
Striving and toiling toward the heights
Of God.

There is little more dainty or pleas
ing to the eye than the small sach-
cts which fashionable women are using
this summer. They are laid among
handkerchiefs, laces and wells. and APP
pear in plenty wherever lingerie and
fancy bodices are kept The points of
neWness about these little sachets are
that they are seldom larger than four
by six inches, that they are made of
the finest linen cambria instead of silk
or brocade. The scented cushions
which fill the linen covers should be of
either heavy silk or satin, while their
color then shows attractively through
the sheer linen.
The outside linen cnyers of these lit
