to point below Calcutta. mosquitoes
are always present in large numbers.

simple and cheap trap for the destruc-

hailed as a benefaction by suburbanites.
This Invention consists of a box IL bv

School for Laughter

We referred some time ago to a school
which had been opened in Milan for the
purpose of teaching people how to
laugh. Signor Flimingo, the founder,
has given his ideas on national laughs
as follows: The German laugh, he says,
is sonorous and unrestrained. The Ger
man often laughs without knowing
why.
The English laugh is cold. without
feeling. and sometimes disdainful The
Austrians laugh easily and elegantly.
The young Viennese girls are much
given to laughing. probably in order to
show off their teeth, which are very
fine. The Belgian laughs frankly and
good humoredly
The American laugh is an explosion.
The French laugh is that of people who
love good wine. For some years past
adds Signor Flimingo the French peo-
pie have laughed less, probably be-
cause more mineral waters are con-
sumed now than formerly, and also
perhaps owing to the wave of ssnob-
ism" which Is passing over the country.
Signor Flimingo arrives at the con-
clusion that Brussels is undoubtedly
the place where people laugh most
they laugh least of all in Berlin, and
laugh most heartily in Paris.-London
