How Do You Laugh?

Refinement can be indicated as
strongly by the manner in which a
person laughs as by the tone of the
speaking voice. If some people could
hear the tone they use while laughing
they would doom themselves to per-
petual sadness. A real hearty laugh
is like tonic to the system. 1t not
only does the person good who enjoys
1t, but it does everyone good who
hears it. OF such laugh there is no
criticism. But there are people who
do not enjoy laughing. but who laugh
in forced and artificial manner, and
generally at the most impossible mo-
ment. An affected laugh, by either a
man or a woman, is a counterfeit of
the true feelings. There is no neces-
sity to laugh loudly; the heartiest
laugh is the softest in tone. Remem-
Der, when laughter is natural it is ire
sistible and beautiful; and when it is
forced it falls like rasping brass upon
refined ears.

Cherries were known In England
1000 years ago. but their systematic
cultivation dates only from the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century.
From the first Kent was the great
cherry county, and it was once a
favorite amusement in the Kentish
orchards to try who could eat the
largest quantity of the fruit at sit

of these contests when the winner

The Literary Trawler

There are certain delusions which
prevail extensively and obstinately.
One of them we all share. We all
think We have sense of humour. But
when we go outside to the larger
world and remember the people we
meet there, We are well assured that
many of them have no very keen sense
of humour, and that some at least
have no sense of humour at all.
Another mighty delusion is that every
one is fond of reading. Almost every
one thinks he is. l never heard any
one say, Il do not care for reading;
it bores me and worries me-" But l
have heard very many say that they
regret extremely that they have nev-
er been able to read as much as they
would like. They never have had
sufficient time. AS a matter of fact,
no one, who really cared for reading
was ever deferred from it by want of
time; in fact, l make bold to say that
only small proportion of people have
learned in the proper sense how to
read. Our expensive system of edu-
cation makes it certain that every one
can read in a fashion, and a large
have the power of studying
for an object. For example, if they
are competing for a University schol-
arship, they WI master the books |
set for the examination, but l am
afraid that those persons who have |
learned to read in the sense that they |
can discriminate between what is
good and bad, and that they read the
pest with delight and relish, are few,
md this is surely a very great mis-
ortune.-W. Robertson Nicoll in "A
3ookman's Letters"
University Missourian., 1914-10-16

present war, universally admitted to
be the greatest ever fought, will be
settled through the mediation of the
United States. Ours is the only great
nation not involved. Our duty it will
be to put an end to the fighting, to
send the European fathers and broth
ers and sons back to their families
and to heal the great wound from
which today Europe seems to be dy-
ing. Truly ours is a mighty service!
Let us set to work. Let us make the
peace and then let us see that the
peace, once made, is kept so long as
our nations lasts upon earth.

BEAUTIFYING COLUMBIA.

Five or ten years from now viii
Columbia present more pleasing ap-
pearance than it does today? We
Americans are awakening to the fact
that our cities are ugly and unattrac-
tive places. This unattractiveness is
the result of haphazard, unsystematic
building.
A city is what we make it. In max
ing the Columbia of the future it is
possible, by planning, to bring it un-
der a system of Identification that will
make it truly fit the name "The Athens
of Missouri"
Already there is a good foundation
for the future city beautiful. Steph-
ems and Christian College buildings
have appropriate settings in well kept
grounds. The University of Missouri
10 OuiiuihS CidDOl dlt uC-
signed to please the eye as we'll as
meet the demands of the institution.
Columbia should have parks. These
beauty spots should not be located on
the outskirts and in the residence dis
tricts only, but placed where they will
break the monotony of business build
ings and paved streets.
Business houses should have con-
formity, both as to size and architec-
ture. And the architecture can be
made to follow beautiful lines with
but little more expense than has been
incurred in the severe plainness of
many of the present buildings.
Let it be Columbia the Beautiful. +

MAKING THE WORLDS PEACE.

The leadership of the United State
in a great many lines of thought an,
endeavor is often disputed by othel
nations. 1t is uncertain whether OF
not the States lead in manufacturing
India challenges us in the raising OF
cotton. Argentina is becoming more
learned every year in the production
of wheat.
A great many nations are our su-
periors in art and in literature. Great
Britain is popularity supposed to have
more responsive government than
our own. France leads us in freedom
of thought and variety of action.
But no other nation leads the United
States when it comes to a matter of
settling the worlds disputes, the
worlds wars. Ours is the peace-mak-
ing nation of the earth We are so
by intent, by situation and by our
growing importance in the congress of
the nations.
The very foundation of our govern
ment brought in this idea of peace
making. Early in our national history
We were cautioned to beware of en-
tangling alliances. We took upon our
selves the task of keeping the peace
in both the northern and southern
Americas, warning the European ma
tions to say away. We declared
against territorial expansion, although
We seem to have altered our ideas a
bit in later years.
And our situation pre-eminently nrs
us for the work of arbitration. We
are away from everybody, that is, from
everybody of sufficient Importance to
cause us serious injury. We are a
country apart, by geography and by
policy. When the nations come to us
with their grievances, We are suffi-
ciently distant from their borders to
let calmer judgments prevail
The rank We are assuming among
the nations makes us the logical nation
to which to refer In the old days.
when the United States were small
and weak, no one ever thought of
sending a trouble here to be settled.
But now, when our commerce and our
crops have made us great, our other
are seen. The celebrity with
which Russia and Japan accepted our
conciliatory services a decade agu
bore witness to their appreciation of
our Importance.
Today it is almost certain that this
