Laughter, while 1t lasts, slackens
and embraces the mind, weakens the
faculties and causes kind of remiss-
ness and dissolution In all the powers
Of the soul. and thus far It may be
looked upon as a weakness in the COM
position of human nature. But II we
consider the frequent reliefs we re-
ceive from 1t and how often It breaks
tie gloom which is apt TO depress the
mind and damp our spirits with tran
sient unexpected CLEANS Of soy. ons

for so great a pleasure Of life.--Addi-

FOR THE CHILDREN
HoppN and EIoppY.

Next door there lives a little boy
With cheeks just like poppy.
l do not know his truly name.
And so | call him Hoppy.
When mother calls him from his play
He hops up in a minute;
If she has work for him to do
He's eager to begin It
If there's an errand to be run
He hurries off to do It,
If there's a hard thing to be done
He hops his way right through Il.
There also lives little girl
In this same house with Hoppy,
And her name, too, do not know,
But have dubbed her Floppy.
Does mother call, straightway she flops
Down on a chair or sofa
Or creeps into hiding place,
Just like little gopher.
At sight OF work she flops right down
Wherever she is standing,
"All tired out!" and only moves
At mothers stern commanding.
NOW, which Of these two children
Would you youngsters like to copyf
II you live In my neighborhood
hope 1t won't be Floppy.

Letter to the kinq.

Flogging in the schools of Denmark

his mail one morning:
Dear King-We are four boys at
Flakkebjerb school, and the master
whips US every day with piece OF
steel rope he found in the arbor. II
he doesn't stop there win be a fire."
The king visited the school, dis
missed the teacher and had the boys
treated TO cakes and chocolates at his
expense Then he warned all teach
ers to avoid corporal punishment, say
ing that they must not make ruf1ans
Of the boys by ruffianly treatment.

Magic Milk.

1t is not generally known to boys and
girls that, though hmewater is very
clear and transparent as common
spring water, If one chances to breathe
or blow on It the liquid becomes as
white as milk. The best way to try
this experiment is to put some pow
dered quickiime into bottleful Of cold
water. Shake thoroughly at intervals
Tor day. Allow the bottle to remain
undisturbed for day. when the clear
hmewater may be poured of from the
sediment which will have gathered.
FIJI wtnegiass or tumbler with the
hmewater and blow through the liquid
with a piece Of clean straw or glass
tube. In few seconds the water win
be turned into milk. This Is a very
amusing experiment. and its result ia,
Of course, unerring.

tangled Second district judgeship

Attorney John ]. Samson. repre-

case. made q motion to quash the in
formation, contending that the court
term opened yesterday was illegal.
In his motion he contended that the
information against his own client, as
we'll as those against others, would
not hold by reason Of the fact that
the time Of the regular term of court
had passed without the informations
being filed.
He also questioned the authority of
Judge Butts to call q special term Of
court in view Of the fact that a reg
ular term Of court has been adjourn
ed till April Is. The arguments on
the motion were made this after
noon.
Should Judge Buttz refuse to grant
the motion it is expected that should
convictions be secured in any Of the
cases in question. that an immediate
appeal would be made to the supreme
court on the grounds set forth in the
motion as made. Several other attor-
neys also question the authority of
