Laughter" says Prof. Obas,
Bell, lis a convulsive action of
the diaphram. In this state
person draws full breath and
throws it out in interrupted,
short and audible examinations,
This convulsion ofthe diaphram
is the principal part of the phys
ical manifestation of laughter,
but there are several accessori-
es, specially the sharp vocal ut
terances arising from the violent
tension of the larnyx and the ex
preston of the features, this be-
ing a more intense form of the
smile. In extreme cases the
eyes are moistened by the effus-
ion from the lachrymal glands. !"
Lord Rose berry recently de-
fined laughter as follows -:
Laughter is physical necessi-
ty. We live under a melancho.
ly sky surrounded by a melan,
.choly ocean, and it is physical
necessity. 1t eyhilerates all soy
cial relations. The laugh of Sir
Frank Lockwood was something
to make a stuffed bird rejoice,
and those who listened to the
SPLENDID of merrimeut which he
could impart by that laugh real
ize the intense value of that
emotional exercise"
The celebrated Snowman, W. l.
Swain. is in hearty accord with
the great English authority.
Mr.gSwain says that he is in the
amusement business not solely
for the accumulation of profits,
but that it is his first aim to dis
seminate enjoyment. He would
rather produce plays that call
forth hearty laughter than those
that cause tears and sadness of
heart.

would be to fly to many that we

coupled with the Rye support by
the old, whisky, criminal ele-

MI-CAREME AT CARvEL HALL.
Instead Of ArmOry Tonight Change
Of Place Made Necessary.

The committee in charge of ar
rangements for the dance to be given
tonight for the benefit OF the S. P. C.
A. has decided to give it at Carvel
Hall instead of in the Bladen street
armory, as vas first planned.
Owing to the fact Of the Roads
Bill coming up for discussion in the
House of Delegates tonight, it will be
impossible to have an early adjourn
ment of the House, this being one of
the most important bills of the ses-
sion, and the Legislators who had
counted on going. to the dance will
probably find il impossible to do so.
For this reason the committee de-
cided that they would not require such
a large and expensive hall as the
Bladen street armory and will in
stead, give the dance in the Lounge
of Carvel Hall, which has a very
good floor for dancing and is very
popular and central place for social
gatherings.
