in lesser form.
"Almost all tic subjects are suf-
ferers at the same time from some
form of nervousness. Sometimes the
movement arises in a natural cause,
the contortions of a woman's fea-
lures caused by tight face veil, for
example, which sometimes become
chonic and continue after the cause
is removed. Again, they are imi-

Strange Habit of Birds.

A remarkable mode of incarcera-
ton is practiced by the hornbills,
birds with immense bills and horny
crests, which inhabit South Asia,
the Malayan islands and Central
and South Africa. In most, if not
all, species the brooding female is
walled up IN hollow tree and fed
by her mate. She remains confined
in her prison until the eggs are
Matched, and in some species I'M
til the young birds are able to fly.
Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of fight, as
she has moulted or, at least, shed
all her wing feathers during her
captivity. But the male is in
defatigable in providing for his
family, and is said to work so hard
that he is reduced almost to a
skeleton at the end of the brood
ing season.

The Laugh Worth While

There are laughs and laughs, all the
way from a nervous litter to bolster
Gus guffaw. They all have different
shades of meanings, and there is dis
tinction between most of them and the
laugh that is worth while.
The laugh that is worth while is
more of a smile that begins at the
heart and finds expression in the face.
To those who are fortunate enough to
possess it, it never deserts. In fact,
it is as often present when things go
wrong as when all is rosy. That is
why we call 1t the laugh worth while.
1t is so deep-seated that it does not
depend on occasion for life. 1t be-
longs to those people who have a
philosophy that says, Il am going to
see the humor in life and believe that
there is more good than evil in the
world, no matter what happens" And
while people around are getting peev'
ish, and fretful, and angered, the per
son with the laugh worth while per
mits the lips to part bit, the lines
about the mouth to relax, and the
sparkle to come into the eyes. In just
so many words it says: 20, well, It'll

out all right"
Yes, there is mirth and mysteries
and Joy that is followed by reaction
But these are bubbles and froth. Be
