More Lauuhtsr. Less Suicides,

The physiological benefits of laughter cannot be overestimated. It shakes up the diaphragm. sets the pulses beating to a lively measure. stimulates the blood coTpuscles. enlivens the brain and sometimes produces dislocation of the jaw when indulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Used with discretion, laughter is as inspir- ing as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It has killed more ridiculous superstitiOns by its rOlIicking roars Of unbelief than any other agency. What can he more de- risive than a laugh? The man who laughs never kills himself.-Exchange.

The Horses Ancestors,

Lovers of horses may be delighted with the distinguished genealogy which geologists have completed for that fla vored animal. At least the names of the horses ancestors look very diStin- guished. Here is the list, with the geo. logical eras in which each lived, as ar- ranged by Professor w. N: Rice: The line of descent begins with Hyracothe- rum and Eohippus of the lower eocene age. Then follow Protorohippus and Orohippus of the middle eocene; Epi- hippus of the upper eocene: Mesohip- pus of the OligOcene; Anchitherium of the lower miocene: Parahippus, Proto- hippus and Pliohippus of the middle and upper miocene. and finally Equus of the pliocene and the quaternary, from which the modern horse directly descends. Hipparion an1 Hippidium represented ancient side branches that died without descendants.

THE GULF STREAM.
Its Edges So Sharply Defined That
 They Are Visible.

Its Edges So Sharply Defined That
 They Are Visible.
 That the edges of the gulf stream are so sharply defined that they are visible has been reported on more than one occasion. The phenomenon was re- gently witnessed by Captain James Horne of the British ship Loch Garry on recent trip from Australia to Bos- ton. A writer in Shipping Illustrated says: "J'he Loch Garry few days be- fore arrival at Boston lay becalmed, when a ripple on the sea surface aroused anticipation not of wind, as was supposed, but of the close proxim- ity of the mighty river in the ocean known as the gulf stream. Spars, lum. Der, a life buoy and other fiotsam were borne past the ship to the eastward at the rate of about couple of miles an hour, yet the vessel herself remained in the unaffected portion of the ocean, which served, as it were, as bank for the comparatively warm waters of the river in midoceaE.
 "0ne hazy night during the civil war a blockade runner left Wilmington, \. C., intent on gaining the open sea. Next morning a federal paddle wheel warshlp hove in sight not far distant and at once bore down. The blockade runner was within an ace of capture when suddenly her captain noticed and fully recognized the gulf stream ripple. He edged her away to cross the providentiaI ripple without awak. ening suspicion in the minds of the pursuers. got into the favorable cur. rent while the paddle wheeler was striving against the adverse current On the other side of the ripple and got clear away.
 "A Nantucket whaler. Captain Fol. ger. first pointed out to Franklin that the gulf stream was a decided factor in the passage making problem of those sailing ship days. Rhode Island merchants had complained that the packets were longer making the trans. atlantic passage than the ordinary car. go carriers despite the fact that the latter followed a more circuitous route Captain Folger showed that. while the gulf stream retarded the paekets along the northern track. 1t helped the less well found cargo carriers keeping well south"

Austin Corbin, whose game pre- serve in New Hampshire was one of the hobbies of his famous father, has found the buffalo herd successful to the point of embarrassment Despite the predictions of old plainsmen that the animals would not breed iu this park. the herd has increased and multiplied until it is becoming a problem to supply enough grazing space for them even in so large a tract as the Corbin fence incloses, says an exchange. The government should secure the surplus and ship them to Yellowstone Park, where there is plenty of room and ideal conditions for their development. A herd of ten or twenty thousand run ming wild in this enclosure, as they did in the fifties, would be a great attraction to sightseers. besides the desirable preservation in their native state of these noble animals. A dozen or so cowed and run down buffalo in zoo or park is a pitiable spectacle, but to see a real herd in it's natural surroundings would be a wonderful sight for the people of this generation. By all means let our government secure the Corbin herd and send them to disport along the banks of the Yellowstone.

Another good republican congress- man has been indicted and arrested, charged with conspiracy to detraud, and also for obtaining money under false pretenses. This time it is the Hon E. Burd Cassel of Pennsylvania. MT Cassel and thirteen other good republicans were picked up on Sep tember IS, on charges originally pre- ferred by Democratic State Treas urer Berry of Pennsylvania, in con- nectioh with the theft of $5,000,0 from the treasury of that state, in transactions relating to the furnish ing of the new Capitol building at Harrisburg. Several state officers are among the fellow grafters of Mr Cassel for whom warrants have also been issued. No wonder the Penn sylvania republican leaders regard the democratic motto, Thou shalt not steal" as a personal affront to themselves.

That ancient customs are still prac- tiCei by primitive tribes is shown by the two following incidents: In the IIiad it is written that when Asklepias saw the wound where the bitter ar row had lighted he. sucked out the blood and So forth In his recent work on the Australian aborigines John Mathew informs the reader that the doctor Or sacred man made a prac- tice of sucking the part affected There seems to be some esHeacy in the sucking. for a friend of mine who was suffering seveuely from an invet- erately inhzmed ere allowed a blaek doctor to mouth the eyebaI. and the result of the treztEeat was immediate relief and speedy cure
