Grrnta att Junk

The Munehner Neueste Nachrich-
ten, in issues which have now
reached the United States, contains
some additional information about
the comprehensive surrender OF tho
Austrian government to German de-
mands.
According 10 a telegram from
Vienna, dated May 4, the adjourn
ment Of the Austrian parliament
because the government has recog-
nifed the impossibility of finding a
majority At present in the lower
house Is part OF an agreemen, by
which IN attempt 10 to be made
during June to vote 4 provisional
budget and to secure an extension
Of the mandates Of the deputies.
II that result can be achieved,
parliament will adjourn again; il
not, drastic measures" are to be
taken. Secondly, the Germans we're
promised that measures should be
taken TO check the southern
Slav agitation" and that Bohemia,
by the application OF a law OF 1868,
should be divided into II admins
trative districts under captains"
The correspondent observed, that
three Of the districts-Eger,
Reichenberg, and LeitmeritI-are
German, two districts-Pilsen and
Budweis--are partly Czech and
partly German, and the other seven
districts are purely Czech. An
ether German demand which seems
to have been accepted Is the estab-
lishment Of German nautical
school at Trieste.
Some account are also given OF
the German demonstrations in Bo-
hernia and Tirol. There was a
large public meeting at Innsbruck
On April n, In which all the Ger
man parties took part, and a prom
inent Austria official, a member OF
the Christian socialist party, ex-
pressed the hope that the Tirolese
would not be left in the iurch by
their German brethren" he recalled
the saying that "the Tirolese eagle

treatment which Tirol gets from

Laughter Is Best Tonic When
Used Rightly, She Says, But
Is Damaging When Wrong
Things Are Laughed At
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
WTitef

Writer.
7 7 is often pointed out that one OF
/ the chief differences between man
= and the lower animals is that he
has a sense OF humor lie laughs
Now without doubt sense OF humor
is n great and beneilcent thing 1t Is
a gift OF the gods. II turns tragedy into
comedy. II gives strength to the hand
courage to the heart, and endurance
to the soul There is no other such
protection against the slings and arrows
Of outrageous fortune. for the jabs Of
fate fall away harmlessly from those
who arc armored in laughter,
Ridicule Is Strong Weapon.
Nor is there any weapon so keen,
strong and effective as ridicule. II is
said that Cervantes laughed SPANS
chivalry away, and there is no person
age. cause, or fad that cannot be killed
by being made ridiculous. The pencil
OF the cartoonist is more powerful than
the voice OF the preacher, and the funny
paragraph OF the newspaper has done
moreato puncture the bubbles OF pretence
and folly, and to keep people sane and
reasonable than all the teaching OF the
moralist.
Let Us Laugh Right.
Laughter then, being so powerful, II
is important that we laugh right, and
one wonders II those two most powerful
educators OF our day, the press and the
theater, are not doing an incalculable
harm in teaching US to laugh at the
wrong things'
TAKE, for instance, the humorous
l supplement Of any paper you like,
where the chief fun maker is some child
who is depicted in the side splitting oc-
cupation OF making life miserable for
all about him.
The little imp Is represented as de-
stroying somebody's property, or in
flioting pain upon somebody, or mock
ing and making sport OF age, or telling
some monstrous lie, These acts are not
depicted as reprehensble, but as de-
lioiously amusing. and one can but
speculate upon the effect that it is bound
to have upon the millions OF children
who devour these pictures with avidity,
and forthwith begin initiating the
crimes that the comic papers teach them
call not for a PARENTAL spanking, but
the glad hand from the public.
Yet We Laugh at Them.
Perhaps the hoodlumism that Is so
universal among children nowadays is
to be traced direotl to the taeit en-
couragment that we give to lack OF
manners, lack OF consideration for other
peoples property, ard lack OF respect
and reverence for old people, by our
laughing at these pictures OF llbred
little demons who are funny In print
but uncomfortable in real life
What do we laugh at at the theater
Any habtual play goer knows that one
thing that never fails to bring a round
Of applause is when a man Is kicked and
goes down TO the thud of the bass
drum. Besides this exquisite pleasantly
the wit Of a Bernard Shaw falls flat
and lifeless Also 'he word damn, "
especially when used by a woman char
acter on the stage, is universally held
to be killingly humorous. Another thing
that tickles the risability of an audi
ence, and that il is always willing to
pay out good money TO see Is . repre-
scntation Of drunken man, reeling

things at which they laugh. Men and
Women may pretend TO cherish senti.

laughter is spontaneous. II is the real
mirror OF an individuals soul, and Il

Forced Laugh, Doesn't Show.
Nor can 1t be initiated A forced
laugh, a manufactured laugh, is so diff
ierent from the genuine mirth inspired
article that even a child can tell the
difference
There are the obscene minded who
only laugh al disgusting yuigarity.
They find no story funny that has not
double entendre meaning They go to
see broad plays where the wit is coarse
and every suggestion ribald. Outward
ly these people may seem TO lead de
cent lives but sooner or later you will
find that they have been indulging in
the sensuality they found so delicious
ly amusing 10 hear about.
Then there arc those who only laugh
at pain. They adore the wit that stabs
like a rapicr They are eonyulsed with
mrth at the spectacle OF some poor,
dcfcnSeleSs creature being held up to
rldicule, They divert themselves by
teasing children and playing practical
Jokes and they grow hilarious over
twitting a cripple with his deformity,
or an unmarried woman about her age
and teing an old maid. These people
are torturers at heart and they would
have enjoyed operating the rack and the
thumb screw. They are cold, callous
and mean. Watch out for them.
A Nd there are those who laugh at us
instead of laughing with us There
is all the difference between friendship
and enmity between sympathy and
malgnancy in that Observe whether
your friends laugh with you or at you
and you will know 10 the last iota how
much they really care for you, and how
much you can depend upon them
Watch your laugh It's the one tell
tale thing about you And be careful
what you laugh at, for il Is good to
laugh. but it is a terrible thing, it is
blaSphcmy, to laugh at the wrong thing
