Our Native Humorists.

John Kendrick Bangs takes no stock
in the opinion that American humor

he even asserts that we are so sur
feited with frst-rate humor that we
can't see the wood for the trees.
ga period that has produced a Doc
ley and an Ade and an Irving Cobb and
Bert Lesion Taylor" says Mr.. Bangs,
''is surely not poor In humorous pos
sessions of scintillating character,
whether we demand that our humor
shall be product Of pure fun or of
profoundly serious thinking.
'Tn the humor that is designed to in
terpret life itself I find an endless
store Of it in the works Of Wallace Ir-
win, Of Montague Glass, of Miss Edna
Ferber and of Mrs Alice Hogan Rice,
the last two, by the way, forming a
complete refutation of the preposter-
GUS notion that women are devoid Of
the sentiment that cheers but does not
inebriate.
"And as for the wits, If Oliver Her
ford were as lonely among wits as he
is unique, should still find that we
were rich beyond measure in that form
of humor which is for the most part in
tellectual, of the mind, rather than Of
the emotions"

How to Be Happy.


There are two ways of being happy;
we may either diminish our wants, OF
augment our means-either will do
the result is the same; and it is for
each man to decide for himself, and
do that which happens to be the
easiest. If you are idle, or sick, or
poor, however hard it may be to di-
minish your wants. it will be harder to
augment your means. If you are active
and prosperous, or young, or in good
health, it may be easier for you to aug
ment your means than to diminish
your wants. But, If you are wise, you
will do both at the same time, young
or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and.
If you are very wise, you viii do both
in such way as to augment the gem
eral happiness of society. Benjamin.
Franklin.

Vegetation as Index of Land Value.
When it is proposed to bring a tract
of land under cultivation Tor the first
time, information as to tie soil and
climate is always an urgent desidera-
tum, in order that the farmer may Sc
1ect the crops and methods. of culture
best adapted to the locality. In the
absence of other information under
these heads, the types of vegetation
growing wild on the land are obviously
of much significance. In recent years
the United States bureau of plant in
dustry has been developing along sci
entifc lines an "indicator-plant" meth
cd of classifying lands in the arid and
semiarid portions of the United States.
During the last fiscal year work of
this character was carried on in south
western Utah, southern Nevada, south
ern California and southern Arizona.
In all these regions the native vegeta-
tion was found to be Indicative Of
whether the amount of alkai present
was sufficient to injure crop plants
under irrigation.

how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca-

form, so that when applied to the
body, the ingredients are vaporized
by the body heat.
These vapors are inhaled with each

the lungs, carrying the medication di-
