LAUGHTER.

How It Has Been Defined and Some
Folks Who Never Tried It.
What Is laughter: An American hu-
morist has called it IAN undignified
widening of the human mouth. accom-
panied by a noise resembling cough
in the effort to avoid swallowing
chestnut"
Laughter" says Professor Sir
Charles Bell, ''is a convulsive action OF
the diaphragm. In this state the per>
son draws a full breath and throws 1t
out in interrupted short and audible
ordinations. This CONFUSION OF the
diaphragm is the principal part OF the
physical manifestation Of laughter.
But there are several accessories,
especially the sharp vocal utterance
arising from the violent tension OF the
larynx and the expression of the fea-
lures. this being a more intense form
of the smile. In extreme cases the
ewes are moistened by the ehusion
from the lachrymal glands"
There are some people who cannot
laugh. who are wholly unable to enjoy
either the physical or the mental lux
ury Of a laugh. Thus it was said OF
William III. that he was utterly at
loss to understand what could be got
out of laughter except loss Of dignity
There are many persons in history
who have been, according to common
report, incapable of laughter. Queen
Mary l., John Knox. Robespierre and
Maltke are examples. The Iron Duke
himself rarely, If ever, went beyond

Nm Much Taothhruah.

1t is possible to err in the direction
of a too free use Of the toothbrush.
"Once a day for three minutes is suf-
ticient," writes a dentist in the Fam
lily Doctor OF London. Even in using
a toothbrush once a day it Is better
not to rub it directly across the sur
face OF the teeth. but to slant it, hold
ing the point down SO that it cleans
the spaces between the teeth as well
as the front Of the teeth and removes
the full force Of the contract from the
teeth. l have had many patients who
have literally rubbed the enamel from
their teeth by the excessive use Of q
brush. The average person uses q
brush too much and not too little. In
addition to being careful with the
brush. it is also important to see that
the bristles are soft and not hard
Tooth powder should be used only
once a day"

Manv Kinds Of Knives.

An extraordinary thing about the
cutlery trade is the variety of knives
made. At the Suffolk works in Shelf.
field, for instance, they have 10000 diff
ferent patterns on the books. They
make sometimes 1900 patterns to or
der at one time. The same thing is
true Of the large cutlery works at So
lingen. in Germany. One firm has 5000
patterns for Germany alone. New ones
are constantly coming out. The Suf-
folk works have averaged ten new pat
terms a week for two years. This is a
trade that will not be standardized,
which is one reason why America has
failed hitherto to comprehensive

FOLLOWED THE DIAGRAM.


The Motorear Tourists Rewarded the
Man Who Drew Il.
An amusing practical joke which
was played by a Canadian farmer on
a party Of motorcar tourists Is describ-
ed In Suburban Life. The farmer had
drawn a diagram to show the automo-
bilists how to proceed through the lit
tie known country.
For i've miles," writes the author
OF the article. I'VE followed the coun-
tryman's diagram and then came to
a piece Of road which was atrocious.
We climbed over stumps and in and out
of ruts and gulleys. Grass grew in the
middle of this road showing how lit
tie it was used At last we saw ahead
a little house just at the edge OF the
woods. We felt sure we were OF the
right road and decided to make in
Quiries at the house.
Great was our surprise upon drawing
up In front Of the house to find our
countryman. his wife and several chill
dreu out in the middle Of the road to
meet US. They all looked at the car
with wondering eyes. and the smallest
child hung to her mothers skirts and
! howled with fright. The other chill
dren fed to the house and peeked out
OF the window.
"Our friend the countryman said
Well, most run my horse to death tc
, get here before you did. l wanted the
kids to be sure and see this critter
! They never saw one before. I'm muct
obliged to you. and now If you want
the right road you'll have to pull bach
! two miles to the road where you turn
| ed in and 60 straight ahead!"

compared with Mr., Tafts public decla-
ration before the Hamilton club in Chi
cago last month. when he said We

mission was emphasized by MIR. Taft
himself in public speech at his home
city of Cincinnati, where he said to
the lawyers there assembled that he
expected soon to be back among them
competing for practice. So, if certain
politicians who now are trying to
frame things up in Indiana for MIR
