Tho Sneeze.

There exists an ancient semi-medical statement which tells us that the sneeze is healthy and should not be suppressed. It Is one of those stock sayings which are always uttered by laymen on the vague authority of some traditional doctor whose name is suppressed in favor of the adjective eminent" It is one of the things about which you mentally pledge your- self to ask your own doctor. but when 1t comes to the point you never do. Either you do not get the opportunity or if chance does present itself an inner voice seems to warn you to let 1t be until some future occasion. To our own mind the odds are that sneez- ing is a wholesome habit, for it is an unpleasant one. Of course there are people who can SneeZe and not look ridiculous, but they are few. Any one caught in the act of trying to suppress a SneeZe is terrible addition to the landscape. and if you want to sneeze and cannot what gargoye could hold a candle to you? That hideously con- torted face, that quivering mouth and that defiected nostril-why. your coun. tenance is something worth building two cathedrals round. It is as though some mad potter were gripping your facial clay and wrenching it this way and that to amuse his frenZied humor. Have you ever heard succession of half dozen sneeZes? It is 2n ex- perience that has an extraordinarily ir- ritating effect.-London Globe.
