The desk of every senator hasa sand
duster or pounce box. resting in q hole
in the top of the desk, looking like an
inkwell. The box resembles q pepper
shaker. And they are used, for many of

French Millionaire Anarchist.

Paris Correspondence London Telegraph.
An amusing tale is related Of NJ. Fro
mentin, the wealthy patron OF the an
archists. on whose property at Choisy-le-
Roi Dubois had established the now too
notorious garage. 1t appears that some
fifteen years ago he took up with a set
Of young artists whose productions were
nearly on q par as regards eccentricity
with his own political ideas. He was not
particularly remarkable for extravaganza
In the matter Of his purchases. but at
any rate these pictures had found a
buyer so the artists were content. Nor
did M Fromentin often miss the oppor-
tunity Of DINING his doctrines into their
ears, and it must be admitted that some
of the theories which he developed were
rather likely than otherwise to please
young men whose work had been declined
by dealers, whom they were consequently
tempted to view as their natural enemies.
Thus, 1t Is related. the eccentric million
aire--who is only q revolutionist in theory,
and has no sympathy with the policy Of
dynamite and the dagger-would address

smash arrives each one will have to COM
bat the abuses with which he is acquaint-
ed. l, for example, who am a connois-
seur. shall go of and hang the picture

fronts,' and the sentiment was hailed
with rapturous applause.

The Healthfulness Of Laughter.

From the Christian Herald.
Merriopathy is the science of the heal
ing laugh. Merriopathy is better than
homeopathy or allopathy for curing all
the gloom diseases and crouch COM
plants that make life miserable. Some
illnesses need drugs. some need the sur
geon's knife, some can be cured with a
good laugh, some can be smiled away,
but neither you nor I ever knew of a
sickness that was cured by a frown.
The wise physician we'll understands
the therapeutic value OF fun and q
cheerful spirit. Medicine may be a
necessary and powerful agent in the
treatment of illness. but It may fail
where fear and melancholy join hands
with the disease. Laughter is one of
the best medicines In the world, and
lensthens life as we'll as brightens 1t.
"A merry heart doeth good like a medi-
cine" said the wise man. consequently
we may employ It in many chronic cases
without fear. Set the gloomy. discour-
aged, neurasthenic invalid to laughing.
study constantly how to provoke smiles.
Cause q few thrills of humor to run.
however weakly. through the veins and
to tickle the risibles. The hostile forces
Of disease and worry and discourage
ment can be driven back by the benevo-
lent miat obes OF mirth.
