EXPLAINS LAUGH OF BABIES
We Come Into This World OF Sorrows
With a Mysterious Sense
of Humor.

The human love of nonsense is a di-
vine mystery. We have often heard
pessimlsts declare that we come into
the world weeping. II is truer, think,
to say that we come into it laughing.
For laughter in baby seems to be its
first conscious apprehension of some
thing outside its small needs and pains.
1t may cry merely because n pin is
sticking into it, but it laughs because
already it sees something that makes
it laugh, it knows not why, something
that catches the eye or ear and seems
irresistibly funny to it.
There is nothing more mysterious
than Il baby's sense of humor. 1t fire.
quently loses it as it grows up, together
with the other trailing clouds of glory,
but most babies are born with it. TO
satisfy it nursery rhymes We're invent
ed, and to satisfy the same instinct in
grown people "The Hunting of the
Shark" that incompatible classic,
came iuto being, and Caverly and Gill
bert and Lear stood on their heads, so
to speak, and performed such verbal
antics before high heaven as must
have made the very angels laugh.
When the Owl and the Pussy Cat,
having dined on mice and slices of
ounce, "hand in hand, on the edge of
the sand" dance by the light of the
moon," there is something which, as
Stevenson was fond Of saying, delights
the great heart Of man. But, of course
with these modern artists of nonsense
there is usually a deliberate attempt ut
the grotesque and the absurd. We
know why we are laughing, but with
the old-fashioned rhymes of which am
chiefly thinking, we laugh-or, for that
matter cry perhaps-without having
any reason to give.-Richard lie CALI
enne, in HarDer's Magazine.

WAY to Success.

Power is the goal of every worthy
ambition and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9TH
ers, says a writer in Success. Power
is self-developed, self-generated. We
cannot increase the strength of our
muscles by sitting in gymnasium and
letting another exercise for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit Of leaning
upon others. If you lean you never
will be strong or original. Stand alone
or bury your ambition to be somebody
in the world.
The man who tries to give his chill
dren Il start in the world so that they
will not have so hard time as he had
is unknowingly bringing disaster upon
them. What he calls giving them a
start probably will give them set
back in the world. Young people need
all the motive power they can get.
They are naturally leaners, imitators,
copiers, and 1t Is easy for them TO de-
velop into echoes or limitations. They
will not walk alone while you furnish
crutches; they will lean upon you just
as long as you win let them.
One Of the greatest decisions that a
human being could ever have is that
he Is permanently benefited by contln-
ued assistance from others.

HOME CIRCLE COL UMN.
OUR BOYS

Yes, boys will be boys; and why
should they not? Now, boy should
go to school, but there is no particu-
lar pleasure in that, for fun he wants
and fun he will have. Your boy
should always be nice and clean; it
makes him look well-but even that
does not satisfy his frisBy nature. A
boy should go to- meeting once or
twice during the week, but, good as
he is, he will crave for pleasure. We
love boy with merry twinkle in
his eye; he looks so cunning; and,
besides, he will need all the spirit of
a young colt before he gets through
the world. If properly trained it will
be to him what steam is to an en-
CINE. Did it ever occur to you to
turn boy yourself and lay aside your
.dignifed, serious airs? Try it. Play
with them; sing with them; and, when
night comes you can pray with them
with a result you little dreamed of.
If they can always have more pleas
ure with you than anybody else you
will always know where they are. Did
you ever notice how the older ami
mails play with their young? 1t looks
funny you will admit. We nave often
laughed at an old stiff-legged horse
playing with a colt and what a queer
game of "tag" it was; the baby horse
beat every time, but the little one al
ways kept close to its mother, and
was never heard to neigh. Parents,
take a lesson and it will be possible
to know where the wandering boys
are tonight"

TILE ROY,S SHADOW

Recently the mother Of boy who
is about twelve years of age made
complaint before a judge that her
son was unruly and she feared he
was associating with company that
in the end would bring disgrace to
him or her. The Judge told the son
to step near him, and in a pleasant
tone of voice said, pointing to the
parent: "Boy, there is the only true
friend you have; obey her. Let me
impress this on your mind; think of
It; remember it, Whatever shadow
you cast in life will follow you as
long as you live and always keep up
to you. That is your reputation. 1t
is always in sight and just your size
exactly, and how proud and happy it
will make your fonl mother if YOU
will stop going with bad youths and
stand in such a position in the sun
light of heaven that your shadow will
always be on the one side Of honesty
and responsibility. Go home this
time with your mother, turn over a
new leaf and prevent the law from
sending you to the reform school"
Golden words. No more pertinent
truth was ever more aptly spoken;
no wiser council ever proifered by
mortal lips. Your reputation in your
community is your shadow. 1t is
exactly your size, and you can never
get away from it; though you may
fee a thousand miles of a cloudy day,
the moment you show yourself in
public your shadow is at your side.
Your habits and modes of thought
have left their imprint upon your
features, unconsciously controlling
your speech and action, and dissemble
as much as you may, are constantly
signalling from behind the mask that
you are not what you pretend to be.

WHERE 70 LOOK FOR WIFE
Seek Her in Butchers Shop, Says This
Writer, and Mark Just How
She Buys.

A good housewife will look Mt least
two square meals ahead of her nose
The modern system Of marketing dur
ing the high cost regime is such a fine
art that a youth contemplating matri-
mOny should HE to the market place
for selecting a bride. My boy, Zim
advises in Cartoons Magazine, when
you see a maiden pinching, smelling
and pricing soup bone, you may rely
on her sense of economy, for she is
looking forward not less than two
meals. The soup bone, when cooked
is merely food in the rough or print
tive state. It's choicest by-prOducts
are realized after bouillon stage.
Thereafter comes gouash, the GRO
quettes and the luscious hash. BY all
means avoid the girl who orders choice
cuts of porterhouse or English mutton
chops. She will not make a good help
mate. But the CIR! VINO selects the
chuck or neck pieces or the tail end of
a ham bone, and renders them into
dainty, palatable dishes is the one you
want. So take my advice and seek the
market place when you feel that you
have had your ill Of bachelor loneli-
ness and wish taste of wedlOck. Fol

HOME AND SUNSHINE

In view of the fact that home touch
es and lives in all hearts great care
should be exercised in making it a
cheerful and sunny place. The plant
that lives in the shade is sickly and
.unsightly. The animal Of darkness
is restless, troublesome and fierce.
And what is there worse than a sick
ly, unsightly plant, or a wild raven
GUS beast? Nothing but the man
whose home has been cold, stormy
and cheerless, with sun shut out UNI

every room a swamp, every picture a
weeping willow He is worse than a
funeral procession, with hearse and
casket moving silently through the

faultfnding man is the worst thing
nature ever ordered or produced
Never happy, never allowing others
to be happy in his presence, He car
ries a face as cheeress as a tomb
stone, and as gloomy as heavens arch
in a thunder storm, minus the light
ming. His presence is like a discor-
dant organ ground by the hand Of
fate; he drives hearse through
every social gathering, hangs pic
lures of gloom on the walls of home
and hastens the death Of the sick.
We are provoked to sing in his pres
ence the song Of the painter Bliss.

its share;
Go bury it deeply, go hide it with
care,
Go bury thy sorrow, let others be
blessed,
Go give the world sunshine, tell Jesus

large quantity of seed which can be

ing. There is very little seed of the
1916 crop available. AS a result each
section must depend largely upon its
own 1917 crop for seed. termination
tests show that much of the supposedly
