Testimony to the Value Of
JoiIity In Lie.

Tho value Of good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people:
but many writer's have attested ita
worth in no measured terms.
It Ia not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "a laugh Is
worth q hundred groans in any mar
ket;" but from the lips Of the sombsr
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear. "No man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
1t was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
more than succession Of laughs, q
chromatic scale Of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
IT am persuaded" wrote Laurence
Sterne, chat every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment OF
life.'

of Oliver Wendell Holmes. given with
his own inimitAble humor. The riot

Literal Truth.

A London story Eliminates the ca
reer of Horace Hamfat, an actor.
Rich today, he was poor and failure
up to the age of forty. His life, up to
that age, passed in the provinces on
two or three quid week. One Sat
urday in Manchester Horace Hamfat's
show went up. the manager fed. and
Horace for three days lived on bread
and dripping. Then a letter came to
him from a London admirer. inclosfng
ten pounds. The admirer forwarded
also an item from theatrical page
that Horace Hamfat himself had writ
ten-"Horace Hamfat is starring In
Manchester" But the typesetter had
made this item read. truly enough:

nate With the Winged Hus-

SILK and satin, fur and velvet had

OF precious stones, flashed the cold
CLINT of naked steel, in place Of CAT
tan. cloak and loose trousers, one saw

ciently splendid in themselves. they
had added this last touch of splendOr.
From their shoulders. as In the re-
liefs Of ancient Egypt, rose great
wings-the rustling Of them filled the
theater. Might and terror were In
carnate in these warriors. What foe
could stand before the awful sibilance
OF their onrush. this apparition OF
something inconceivably monstrous.
yet inconceivably superb?
War had fred this people to new
improvisations that ended In gran
deur reaching to the epic. the sub
lime. The other nations had but
dreamed of war gods buoyed on the
spread Of carved and painted wings;
the Pole dared to attempt them in his
line of battle, to embody them. to be
them.
Over this army floated Poland eagle,
white upon its blood-red ground. A
bishop raised the sacred relics and the
cross and gave his blessing. Plainly.

A RECORD FLIGHT.
Naval AviatOrs Go By Air From An
napolis to Old Point.

Newport News, Va, July %. =
Travelling in a Curtis hydroaeroplane,
Lieutenants Smith and Chavelier, of
the u. S. Aviation School, establish
ed a record flight from Annapolis,
Nd. to Fort Monroe, yesterday
morning, making the trip in four and
one half hours, or actual flying time
of two hours and ten minutes.
With the ease of bird, and at a
distance of fully 500 feet in the air
the machine swept down upon Old
Point shortly after 1880 o'clock and
the officers made a beautiful landing
on the beach just in frort Of the old
Hygcia Hotel site.
When the officers started back to
Annapolis yesterday evening their
hydro -aeroplane was injured by the
heavy seas in Hampton Roads, and a
launch had to be sent out from Fort
Monroe to tow the machine back tc
Old Point. 1t is not badly damaged
and the young aviators say they viii
be able to resume the trip today.

IN the care of the Secretary of the

terdsy 1t was juicy cheese enclosed
in a smell proof case of zinc--a
Scotch cheese, according to an cx-
pert called into conference after the
bureau had defiantly determined tina.
the "bomb" contained neither nitro
glycerine, dynamite or other deadly
poison.
After deliberating nearly all the
day how to determine the contents
of the "bomb" without causing an ex-
plosion, that would injure anybody tho
Bureau of Combustibles took the in
fernal machine to vacant lot. There,
from safe distance, while an i'm
mense crowd waited with their fng
ers in their ears an awful report, al
official leveled rifle at the bonll
and perforated it with bullet.
A thick, yellow substance oozed
from the hole, and that was all that
happened. Four more bullets were fir,
ed into the bomb, and still silence
regained. Soon, however, pungen!
and self-explanatory otlor became par,
ceptible, and even the laymen presen;
were able to recognize the true natu-:
of the "bomb."
The cheese was returned to the Car
negie Corporation resembling more
the Swiss than the Scotch product.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.
Treasury Department Sends Out No
tice-Applications Must be in

The Treasury Department has is,
sued the following:
On June oath and 25th this Office
requested that the Civil Service Com
mission should hold additional exam
nations in the State of Virginia fo,
the purpose of securing additional ELI
gibles for appointment to positions in
the internal revenue service in the
Second and Sixth Collection Districts
of Virginia.
| am informed Ivy the Civil Service
Commission that such examinations
will be held on August 16, 1913, at
the following places: Fredericksburg
Newport News, Petersburg, Rich
mond, Abingdon, Alexandria, Char
lottesville, Danville, Lynesburg, Roa-
noke, Staunton, and Winchester, and
that all applications for entrance to
said examinations should Le II. the
hands of the Civil Service Commits
sion by August II, 1918.
AZ numerous inquiries have been
made relative to appointments in the
internal revenue service, and as the
commissions of deputy collectors of
internal revenue automatically ex-
pire with that of the collector by
whom they are appointed and COM
missioned, and it is possible many
new collectors may not desire to re-
commission some Of the old deputies
it is suggested that you will give this
information as wide publicity as pos
sble, in view of the fact that all ap-
pointments to positions in the inter-
nal revenue service are made from
tn eligible registers Of the Civil Ser
vice Commission.
