A woman in California, who, be-
cause Of crushing sorrow, had
fallen a victim to dependency,
insomnia and kindred ills, determined
to throw off the gloom which was
making life so heavy burden TO
her, and established a rule that she
would laugh at least three times a
day, whether occasion presented or
not. Accordingly, she trained herself
to laugh heartily at the least provo
cation, and would retire to her room
and make merry by herself. she was
soon in excellent health and boyant
spirits, and her home became a
sunny, cheerful abode.
To people who have lost the laugh
ing habit I would say: Lock your
self in your room and practise snil-
ing. Smile at your pictures, furni-
ture, looking glass, anything, just SO
the stiff muscles are brought into
play again.
In order to become normal, the
natural fun-loving forces within us
must be released. Laughter Is one
form of exercise which sets them
free, rescues men from the "blues."
Somewhere I have read of a man
whose Laughing muscles" were SO
paralyzed that his laughter sounded
like a voice from the tombs. AIheri-
can life is SO serious that many men
lose their power to laugh. They can
force little sepulchral chuckle, but
the genuine side-shaking laughter Is
almost a stranger to their experience.
They are in such a serious chase
after the dollar, their life Is so
strenuous, so given to scheming and
planning, that they do not have much
time to laugh. They do not know the
medicinal value there is in the habit
of laughter, how is clears the cob
webs out of the brain, disposes of
the fangs of worry and anxiety and
business pressure, takes the mind off
the grind of things, removes friction,

Author Of Pushing to the Front" Etc.
GOOD CHEER

and helps to make life worth While.
You may not be able to cultivate
the optimistic temperament to any
great extent, if you lack it, but cheer
fulness can be cultivated. We all
know that If we brood over our soes
rows, and dwell upon our misfortunes'
our physical being very quickly SYM
pathizes with our moods.
Talk happiness The world is sad
enough without your woe"
A woman who has had great attic
ton says: 81 have had nothing I
could give but myself, and SO made
the resolution that / would never sad
Den anyone with my troubles. | have
laughed and told jokes when / could
have wept. I have smiled in the face
of every misfortune. have tried to
let everyone go away from my pres
ence with a happy word and bright
thought to carry with them. Happi-
ness makes happiness, and 1 myself
am happier than 1 would have been
had I sat down and bemoaned my

Encourage your child to be merry
and laugh aloud" says a great
French surgeon. "a good hearty
laugh expands the chest and makes
the blood bound merrily along"
We realize that 1t Is very necessary
to train the mind in business prin-
ciples; to train certain faculties to
do special things, but do not seem
to think 1t necessary to cultivate the
habit of cheerfulness. Yet not even
an education is as necessary to the
child as the formation of the cheer
full habit. This ought to be regarded
as the first essential of the prepara-
ton for life-the training of the mind
toward sunshine; the developing of
every possibility Of the cheerful
faculties.
Cheerfulness Is one of the great
miracle-workers of the world. 1t re-
enforces the whole man, doubles and
trebles his power, and gives new
meaning to his life.

sidered womanly by many religious
persons, but she wrote skillful
pamphlet justifying her position and

her attitude that in the organization

more tirelessly than ever, and her

According to official statistics, the
total imports into Spain in 1910, 1911
and 1912 were $1S0,006, 582, $178,081, 779
and $3.50, 454,0s3, respectively, and its
exports s1sS,6s3,4 s4, STATISTIC and
s1S9, 264,86s exclusive of transit
trade).
The population of Spain was esti-
mated in January, 1918, to be 19,900,-
900, of which number about 100000
were in the Madrid consular district.
With slow and somewhat primitive
means of transportation, high freight
tain lack of knowledge concerning
other sections of the country, each
district in Spain provides in a great
measure for it's own local needs and
the interchange of products Is on a
small scale. Low wages are general,
manufactured goods bring high
prices, and the average purchasing
power of the Individual may be esti-
mated at about one-fourth that
which prevails in the United States.
In general sense, Spain is not q
manufacturing country. Imported
goods are considered superior to
those of domestic manufacture and,
even if of equal or inferior quality,
command a higher price. This belief
is generally held throughout the
country, and the situation, SO far as
Spanish manufacturers are concern
ed, is much the same as in the early
DAYS in the United States when
American manufacturers were SIM
ilarly crippled in their endeavor. to
manufacture for the home market
by the prejudice for goods of foreign
manufacture. This prejudice, as
American manufacturers know, ex-
lists to the present day and is hard
to eradicate This belief is fostered
In Spain by the merchants and i'm
porters, and Spanish manufacturers
are forced to cater to the cheaper
class of trade.
Customers of good class always ask
for imported goods. The high prices
demanded and obtained for imported
goods serve to make limited market

Judge Grover was an old bachelor.
he believed that the law should be
his sole mistress. He did not have
time to court and marry wife. He
was blunt, outspoken, rugged man
of vigorous although rather coarse
intellect.
He was esteemed a man of incor-
ruptible life and he undoubtedly was.
He was fond of his reputation in that
respect. While he was Judge, and I
think about ten years before his
death, the Legislature increased the
pay of the judges in certain courts
one of these being the court in which
Grover saffron $500 to Sc, 900.
Judge Grover with earnestness and
aggressiveness denounced the action
OF the Legislature. He declared pub
licly and in private to his associates
upon the bench that $500 was suf-
ficient salary for any judge He said
that he would continue to be content
with that salary. He gave the inn
preston to all his associates that he
drew only $4,000 year. As he was a
bachelor and was of the utmost sim
plicity of life that sum was regarded
as amply sufficient for him.
After Judge Growers death the
administrators of his estate decided
that they undoubtedly had the righl
to collect from the State of New YorI
that part Of Judge Growers salary
which he had not drawn. 1t amounted
to about $500, If I recollect correctly

pa Curns Over a ReW ceaf

Pa, he's turned over a new leaf;
He don't intend TO smoke no more
Or fill my mothers heart with grief
BY spillin' ashes on the floor;
His face is long, his words sad,
And when chair is in his way
1t seems to make him so blamed mad
He don't know hardly what TO say.
He jumps at every little sound,
And says that we disturb his rest;
He bites his nails and walks around,
And trouble seems to fill his breast;
He hasn't any appetite,
And says that everything is wrong;
1t makes him mad enough to fight
When anyone bursts into song.
There's nothing seems to make him glad,
He finds fault with us all the while;
He's lost the interests he had,
Ma says, and don't know how to smile;
His face is long, his look is black,
There's nothing pleases him no more;
We wish he'd turn the new leaf back
And be the pa he was before.

PROFESSOR tart as Teacner.
New Haven Letter to the New York Sun
At the end of his first three months
as teacher, ex-President William
Howard Taft finds himself as popular
as any professor or instructor at Yale.
1t is said that more jokes are told In
his classroom than in any other in the
university. The jokes all have bear
ing on some phase of constitutional
law, for Professor Taft doesn't believe
in telling anecdotes just for the sake
of making his students laugh.
Students have come to know when
the time is ripe for an entertaining
story The class is usually in the
midst of discussion over some point
when Mr.. Taft lowers his head and
peers over his glasses in a way that is
very characteristic of him. Then he
slowly removes the glasses. holding
them on level with his mouth. Syn
enormously with this operation ap-
pears broadening smile. 1t starts In
two dimples in his cheeks and extends
over his broad face.
Scarcely have the two dimples be-
gun to appear before the faces of the
men in the class broaden in smiles
of prospective appreciation. and be-
fore the story is half told every man
In the room is shaking with laughter.
Professor Taft laughs. too. and some
times so hard that tears come to his
eyes. He gets out his handkerchief.
though, and goes on with the story
to the end.
Mr.. Taft has two methods of get
ting at his students-two ways to
make a man remember his work. One
is to get a student on his feet and
ply him with questions. and it is this
method that Professor Taft uses as
often as practicable with his rather
large classes. When the victim sits
down after his questioning there is
but little doubt that he will remem-
Der what has been taught him. The
other method, and the one he more
often uses, is of serving the meat of
the subject to the students in sugar
coated pill form. This he does by
either giving the gistTof the matter in
some pithy phrase, or, more generally,
by Frightening up an obscure point
with joke that is really applicable.
He is a very exacting instructor,
and. although he is always willing to
lend hand where there is some diff
Guilty, he sees to it that his students
do their work.
The business of teaching constitu-
tional law is fully as interesting as
being President of the United States,
Professor Taft says. He is so alb
sorbingly interested in his work that
he often runs over the allotted time
for the recitation.

Life on Venus and Mars.
From Leslie's Weekly.
If anyone wishes to hold that the
life upon our earth is an accident and
mistake, existing in violation of the
laws of nature, / have no argument
to make with him. But to be consist
ent he will have to admit that the
building of CRYSTALS and all chemical
bodies, under known laws. also is a
mistake; and, in fact, that the whole
universe is a mistake-and l think we
may safely leave such a skeptic to his
fate Whilst science does not know
how life originates, we know 1t may
arise as easily in other habitable
worlds as in the one little abode
which we inhabit in the solar system.
And thus we are bound to hold life
to be a general phenomenon in ma
ture, developing wherever the stars
are shining on their attendant plan
cts, and thus wherever q star twin
lxles in the depths of the armament.
Now as for Mars and Venus, in our
own system, II need hardly be said
that they are surely inhabited by liv-
ing beings OF some kind. Observa-
tions show that Mars has a rare at
mosphere, a day thirty-seyen minutes
longer than our own, seasons of the
same type, but longer duration, and
snow caps at the poles, and thus wa
ter vapor, though the amount Is
small.
Mars Is a desert planet. with a very
rare air, about like that in the higher
regions of the Himalaya mountains.
But as life on this earth extends to
the highest plateaus and mountains,
except when perpetually frozen, 1t
may also exist on the planet Mars,
which has moderate temperature,
as shown by the formation of clouds
in the twilight belt, after the sun
has set for the Maritans.
The probability of Venus being in
habited is much greater than that of
Mars, for Venus rotates In twenty
three hours twenty-one minutes, and
in all respects so closely resembles
the earth as to be called her twin
sister. Venus has an abundance of
air. clouds, water, and also noun
tains, and, therefore, seas, lakes and
rivers. The seasons are like ours, ex-
cept they are shorter the year heing
% days in length. Why should not
such a planet be inhabited? If a
man were transported to Venus and
landed there without injury, it seems
certain that he could live and flourish
physically under the air and tenn
perature of this beautiful planet.
