Removing Iron Kust.

Wherever the ordinary hooks and
eyes have been used on light -colured
frocks there is almost sure to be spots
of iron rust as a result. The very
first thing to do is to rip off the fasten-
ers and get the rustless kind. Then
rub each spot Of rust with salts of lem
on and wash out thoroughly. 1t may
benecessary to repeat this two or three
times. but it is worth the trouble. If
you haven't this preparation use plain
lemon juice. soak the salt in it, put it
on the spot and expose to the sun. If
all of this proves useless and the gar
ment is of white cotton or wool try
chlorinated soda.

LAUGHTER ANALYZEO.
The Observations Of a Man With q
Sensitive Ear.

"Of course you have heard said the
man with a sensitive ear, "a laugh
that Jared. ] don't mean," he contin-
ued, 80 much A laugh at an inoppor-
tune time-I ina CINE we have all heard
such laughs-as a laugh the quality of
which is unpleasant There is some
thing contagious in laughter of the
right kind. even though you may be
the object Of it. 1t bubbles from the
we'll of good humer. There is no hid
den thought, or 'arriere pensee,' as the
French say, behind it. 1t is the es-
sence of frankness; it is spontaneous
and whole souled. and it cleanses the
system Of the laughter and, too, of the
hearer, like a spiritual bath.
But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh is perhaps the
most familiar Then there is quiet
laugh. a sibilant, secretive sort of laugh
that is {. ute as certain to mean mis-
chief. Another laugh, disagreeable in
Its nature. is the high pitched. nervous
exclamation that comes either from en-
barraSSment or is a mere vocal habit.
The worst laugh of all, however, to
my mind, is that mirthless sound pro-
voked by the distress or embarrass-
ment of others, and it rasps naturally
most of all the object calling it forth.
A person laughed at and hurt never
forgets the experience" - New York

HUMAN LOVE.
The One Joyous Impulse That Rules
the Whole Wide World.

The One Joyous Impulse That Rules
the Whole Wide World.
There lives somewhere in the depths
Of every human heart the divine spark
that we call love. 1t is the voice OF the
universe slum boring in its narrow cell
to be awakened by a whisper or to cry
out in dear desire and hear the echo
ing answer from another soul. With
out it life would be Il pale. relentless
episode. Without its quickening force
no temples would be reared by human
hands. Yet novels wherein it dwells be-
come more glorious than palaces. Am
bitiou. fame and fortune are its rlaves.
1t chains the mind in sweet imprison-
ment. makes credulity a guardian queen
and lulls suspicion to Tcpose
No censorship Of right or wrong can
light the way of love. 1t walks in
pathways all it's own. 1t laughs at
reason and dispels despair. 1t is the
lisping word of children, the puzzle of
philosophers, the talisman of rulers. 1t
is the first and last of life-murmured
at the cradle, cherished at the grave.
1t Is the rainbow after tears, the cure
for every sorrow. the one joyous I'M
pulse that rules the whole wide world.

All Ohio League Polo Teams to
Be Brought Here for
Exhibition Games.
NEW CASTLE TOMORROW.
FLOWER CITY AGGREGATION is
cHEsTY AND DESIRES TO PLAY
SERIES OF THREE GAMES FOR
PURSE.

Wednesday evening at the Coliseum.
the Richmond and New Castle polo
teams will lock horns. The last game
played by these two teams was at New
Castle, and resulted in defeat for the
Quakers Members of the local team
state that they were defeated because
they played in crippled condition.
The New Castle players are consider
ably puffed up over this victory and
have now offered to put up side bet
that they can defeat the Quakers in a
series Of three games. If the Flower
City players are really in earnest and
their money is not of the stage variety
it is quite likely that this bet will be
covered by the Richmond players.
After the close of the Ohio State
league season, about April l, the Rich
mond team will play nearly every
team in this organization an exhibition
game. Among the first teams to play
here will be the Ashland five, league
leaders. This team includes a local
boy, O'MetZ, the old Fairview goal
tender. Ashland is after Louie Qug-
ley, the local rush. to finish the season
with them, but it is probable that
Louie will remain here in Richmond.

ways of the large cities, and for car
rage and many other purposes. The

A Punctual Artist.

One well known and decidedly mar
tistic quality of Lord Leighton was his
punctuality. He was once in Damas-
Gus and was urged to remain there, but
he declined. His Teason was that he
had to be in London on a certain day
because he had made an engagement
with his model. A friend was anxious
to learn whether Lord Leighton had ac-
tually kept this Engagement, and he
found that when the artist was as
cending the staircase straight from Da-
mascus the model was knocking at the
door of the studio.
