 The Pig--rt is To Laugh
 '"rhe sdueaI of a pig" remarked a prominent citizen yesterday, lis the most Imaginable sound in the world. Jus. why the sound waves caused by the vocal orxans of the swine should so in- evitably and intensely tickle the risor- ius, or laughing muscle, do not know. but they certainly do. Dogs howl park or whine, according to their scyeIai emotions. and our laughter Is fortuti- tous; the feline voice. whether soIuy modulated to the tone of petition, rais- ed to the shrill pitch of anger. or genL. ly attcnuated to adulation, is as apt to create groans OF protestations as sounds of merriment; the praying oi the patient ass, though 1t strikes the symapthetfc chord sometimes.

Laughing at pig, it may be well to re- member, Is better for the digestion than eating it,"
