1t may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more In 1t than that. The
husband Of a Paris woman Violinist,
himself a musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization, His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: "If I go under l viii try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you" She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vic.
lin, feeling impelled to play n piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the d and the p,
RE" and Mi" she at once thought,
It. was the warning he had said he
would give her. The next day a tele.
gram informed her that her husband,
Sergeant Remy, had been killed in
action.

He Who Lauuhs.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

There are people who take life too Sc
riously. They allow their souls to be
eaten up with cares and anxieties. Many
worries are useless and help nothing.
Bits of humor are lost on these persons.
They wonder how any one can be so
thoughtless about the realities OF life. In
all the animal creation laughter Is given
TO man alone; given him, like all other
faculties, to. make the best of. Laughter,
II Is true, Is not for. all occasions, but
II has its place and Is necessary to our
wellbeifg. A laugh is a cure for many
Ills. 1t aids digestion and so tends to
health. 1t prolongs life. Laughter
often settles a disagreement and prevents
real troubles. Hard working business and
professional men sometimes forget to
laugh. The strain Of work grips them
hard, and they get old before their time.
The ability to see the humorous side Of
an accident, a mistake, or a folly, is a
great, aid in making life more endurable.
Laughter overdone. like all virtues car
rled to excess, Is q vice or a folly, Gull
tivate your sense of humor. Better to
laugh too often than not to laugh often
enough.
'Who laughs knows no defeat"

potency. The city government, while res
tanning much OF its old dishonesty and
more Of Its old ineficiency. becomes some
what cit~y-conscious, and numerous pri-
vate agencies, philanthropic or self-sup-
porting, efficient or offlcIous, wise or over
wise, approach in a tentative or a direct
manner the solution of serious civic prob
lens. The progress, moreover, is demo-
cratic. It Is secured by many men, ami
mated by many motives, working together
in increasing harmony. Our city news
papers, even the worst OF them, appeal to
broad masses in behalf of common ideals.
In the school. In the public lecture, in the
church, in the factory, In the newspaper
or magazine, In the homes Of wealthy
catch a glimpse Of a growing spirit of
civic solidarity and Of a wider social soil
darity based thereon.
Moreover, II is likely that the good OF
the city will be as contagious as the
evil has been, and that the city's ideals
will spread as far and as wide as do its
inanities n febrile extravagances. The
city, more than ever before. is sending
missionaries to the country, n the sum
mer boarder, the retired city man seek
ing a country home, the newspaper, the
magazine, the moving picture, the phono-
graph, teach more good han Ill. The
cities are taking their share Of RESPONSE
bility as we'll as OF power. They are fur
nishing their full quota of statesmen,
business leaders, and intellectual guides.
The country boy no longer plays the role
which he once played in American life.
A man need not split rails to be president,
and the city boy, educated in excellent
technical schools, is more than a match
for Emerson's undifferentiated though
sturdy lad from New Hampshire. The
city, It is coming to be realized, is a
workshop as well as a playground. 1t Is
a workshop in which team work is indis-
pensable. The essence and import Of the
American city, as 1t is coming to be. is
democratic teamwork, Industrial. political,
and social.

Hudson Maxim, in the Youths Companion.
We are the product not only of our
own personal environment, but also OF
the environment Of all the generations
OF man that have ever existed. In or
der, therefore, that any other world
should be inhabited with beings like us,
the original nebula from which that
other solar system sprang would have
had to have the same mass as the orig
inal nebula from which our solar sys-
tenn sprang. Moreover, the celestial
bodies that collided would have had to
be identical in temperature, mass, and
velocity with the bodies that collided
to produce the nebula from which our
solar system came. That earth would
have a to be thrown off at the same
time that ours was.
Furthermore, the sun in the solar
system would rave had to be hit with
meteorttes OF the same number, mass
and velocity as those that have hit our
sun; for the mass and impact of all the
meteorites that have plunged into our
sun since nebula time has very mate
rally influenced the heat thai the
earth has received. Finally, there would
have had to be on that other earth
virtually the same distribution of land
and water, because the size and ar
rangement of continents and islands,
rivers and seas on our earth have had
an important part In shaping the hui
man race. . t''

as the chance Is that there Is anywhere
within the range Of the telescope an
other world inhabited by beings like
ourselves.
1t is not improbable, however, that
there are many worlds peopled with be-
ings both inferior and superior to our
selves, but they must be as different
from us as the worlds they inhabit are
different from ours.
