LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why an Outburst of the One MAY
Cause Flow of the Other.

why an Odtpurst OF me OHS "@J
Cause a Flow of the Other.
What is laughter and why do tears
so often accompany it?
On each side of the throat is an ar
terry called the carotid. At the level OF
the larynx this divides, one branch,
which carries blood to the brain, being
called the internal. the other, which
distributes blood to the face, being
called the external. These two branches
are Joined about the level of the eyes
by the Ophthalmic artery, which forms
a canal between them. This cOmmu-
nication is the cause of the close con
nectiOn between the brain and the tear
glands. between laughter and grief,
both of which are generators of tears.
Physiologicllly, burst of laughter
is nothing but a strenuous effort, like
lifting a heavy weight In both cases
the muscles of the throat and stomach
contract.
When laughter is excessive the
whole body is convulsed; every muscle
is contracted. In the place of normal
respiration come short intermittent
respirations. insufficient to free the
lungs from the semi-asphyXia pro.
duced by the contraction of the throat
muscles. The face shows the conges.
tiOn of the blood vessels of the head.
ApOpleXy may in rare cases result.
These muscular contractiOns compress
the external carotid, which can no
longer supply the brain with blood.
In consequence this rushes up the in
ternal carotid. which becomes choked
and dilated it can stand the pressure
only because the ophthalmic artery re-
lieves it. Taking this route the blood
congests the tear glands. which over
flow.
Tears are exactly the same as the
liquid part of the blood. So it is a
fair deduction that the action of cry
ing is equivalent to certain loss OF
blood. which relieves the congestion
of the brain. This is why women fee
so much better after n good cry.
The facial cOntOrtiOns of weeping
persons are caused by the automatic
contraction of such muscles as are
needed to compress the tear glands
and so help to squeeze out the tears

FIaos at Half Mast.

Ever since flags were used in war
it has been the custom to have the
flag of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that of the inferior or van
Quished When an army found itself
hOpelessly beaten it hauled it's flag
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above it on the
same pole. This was a token not only
of submission. but of respect. In those
days when a famous soldier died flags
were lowered out of respect to his
memory. The custom long ago passed
from purely military usage to public
hfe of all kinds. the flag flying at halt
mast being a sign that the dead mar
was worthy of universal respect. The
space left above it is for the flag OF
the great conqueror Of all, the angel ot
death.

SAGE TEA WILL

Resore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color; Dan
druff Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea OF using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the use of simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance. they made a
brew of Sage leaves, and applied 1t
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
ficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do 1t ourselves;
and all we have to do is to call for
the ready-made product. Wyeth s

DUTCH

Dutch" Spangler yesterday demon
strated the fact that If ever he should
become afflicted with BARRIERS paraly
sis. there is at least one avocatfon
open to him. Tom O'Connell stands
ready to give him job as mule driv-
any old time his BARRIERS hand
loses its cunning.
Dutch's superiority as a driver of
mules was uncovered as the result of
a bet between him and Mr.. O'Connell.
The latter wagered Dutch SO that he
could provide him a mule that he
could not drive to the ball grounds
Sunday. Dutch told him he was on.
but stipulated that the rig must be
one with top to 1t. This stipulation
was ostensibly to insure a rig of fair
~ decent appearance and reasonable
comfort. and preclude the possibility
of Dutchs being obliged to drive the
city dump cart or something equally
! undesirable
Dutch little knew. however. that
Ernie Wheale was possessed of a
rockaway coupe of the vintage Of the
early seventies, in fact the first rig
that ever wore rubber tires. The rig
still has shreds of rubber clinging to

part of it's life without shelter from
sun and rain and would make a cork

a cirs"s.
This vehicle Mr.. OConnell dug up
and it was delivered with mule at

early yesterday afternoon.

! Mr. Spangler to gasp, put he was
game and said he would drive it to

whereby Dutch was never to have

for one killjoy hight Doc Greenwald.
The plot was as follows: The particu-
lar mule harnessed to the rockaway is
most devoted to It's mate. 1t will fol-
low that mate anywhere, once it sets
eyes on 1t. At Guthrie street and
Michigan Al Murphy. Mr.. O'Connells
bookkeeper, was to Intercept the rig
with the mate. The plan was that on
sighting his mate, the mule Dutch was

than where the mate went. The mate
was to be led to Fortune Bros barn.
But the plot leaked out and Doc
Greenwald was persuaded to block the
Guthrie street crossing with his auto.

curiosity diverted the minds of
both mules that neither saw the other.
