FABLES OF WHICH MEN TIRE
Among Them Are Those of the Ground
hog and Kindred Superstltious
and silly Beliefs.

A scribe whose duty it was to cover
the annual grounding story rejoices
that other things came along, spared
him this trouble and gave him some
thing else to think about, writer In
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer observes.
There are lot of these dull-day fables
recurring annually that every city 'edi-
tor thinks it his religious duty to have
covered. Along in the fall we have
the gOOsebone weather prophet and the
fellow who can tell what kind of Win
ter it is going to be by the bark on the
trees and the hair on a horse, and then
there is the Indian squaW, one hundred
and eight years old, who never misses
a guess. Something real new and
catchy would be to ilaTa photograph
of the grounding coming out and look
ing at his shadow, or standing under
duh gray sky, shifting for weather
probabilities. Let some enterprising
city editor print q picture of this
hOary-headed liar and let us all see the
unlucky Friday and unlucky Ii stories
and the guy who plants his spuds IN
the dark of the moon and his beans
in the new orb. There are probably
dozen seasonal stories recurring an
nually, and after fellow has read
them for 20 years he begins to have
fiutter of the stomach every time ne
hears them; he longs for something
tangible-facts that he can tie to-and
when his landlord comes around and
duns him for his rent, he feels that
he has his feet on solid ground again.

Irresistible Sand.

One of the most interesting and re-
markable of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles in
length, some 100000 cubic yards OF
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone moves
gradually inward. In the course OF
years there has thus been formed
complex system of dunes, all approx
mately parallel with the coast ana
with one another and of all attitudes
up to $50 feet. These are marching
steadily inward at rate of from three
to six feet a year, whole villages nav
ing sometimes been torn down to pre-
vent burial, ard rebuilt at distance.

GOOD lDEA-"KEEP LAUGHING"
Persons Who Adopt It Will Live
Longer and Be Popular With
Their Fellow Mortals.

The physiological benefits OF laugh
ter cannot be overestimated. 1t
shakes up the diaphragm, sets the
pulses beating to lively measure,
stimulates the blood, and en]ivens the
brain. Used with discretion laugh
ter is as inspiring as a sea breeze, IS
refreshing as needed shower,
lis moral effect is beyond computa-
ton. 1t has killed more ridiculous
superstition by it's rollicking roars
of unbelief than any other agency.
What can be more derisive than a
laugh? The man who laughs never
kills himself.
In some situations laughter is as
grncious in it's influence as tears. An
Instance is recalled of man fated
to die of consumption at a santa
rum. Did he sit out on the veranda
ENORMOUSLY pouring the tale OF his
physical and mental woes into the
ears of every other victim whom he
metz Not q bit of it! He wore the
cap and bells of the jester in order
that he might distract the thoughts
of his miserable companions from the
contemplation of their own suffer
