There is no doubt that laughter is a great beautifier, and sor too, is relax- ation," says a New Zealand exchange. "Indeed it is marvelous how some women manage to perform their vari- ous duties at all without ever giving their nerves a holiday by relaxing them. As they go on day after day the worried minds seem to twist the nerves until they are tense and strain- ed, like the spring of a clock that is kept tightly wound up. The tension shows in the face, which grows sharp and thin; in the voice, which becomes querulous and ball tempered, a ia- in the manners, which become hurried, abrupt and disconcerting. Women who have allowed themselves to sink into such a condition usually complain that they have no time to rest. As a matter of fact, they have lost the power of resting and simply must be doing something. They seem to be afflicted with the disease of perpetual motion, and if they could only realize it are rapidly wasting their nervous strength and preparing for a physical break- down. This is plain speaking, but only plain speaking will make some women stop their suicidal folly and take them- selves well in hand. They may think that they have no time to rest, but the housework, the cooking, washing, cleaning, ironing, mending, must be done day by day oc else their world will come to an end. But there is no housework under the sun that cannot be rearranged in such a way that a weary and worn woman may lie down twenty minutes and rest at some time during the day. And if she cannot see her way to rearranging her work then she must let some of it go. There are no two questions about it. We cannot juggle with our health, we women. Either the work must go or we must. And there is no work of ours that an- other woman cannot step in and do quite as well -perhaps better. This sounds hard, but it is true. So when we t nd that our passion for doing things is sapping strength of body and elasticity of mind, let us stop and consider whether It is, after all, worth sacrificing health, happiness Ind good looks for -a bed or a padded cell in a hospital Stop That Cold To cheep early rolels or (;nope with "Preventie s" means sun elr(ent for 11lenitlnnia.

Getting Him Out into the Open For the Camera Man, I have seen a barefoot boy when the alligator refused to respond to his call while la the mud to his waist, explore with his toes till he felt the wiggle of the gator beneath theist, then worry hint to the surface, grab him by the nose before tie could open his jaws and tow .the creature ashore to be pbpto• graphed. When au alligator that we were bunting crawled Into his cave 1 field a noosed rope over his mouth while the boy poked a stick through the mud uutll it hit the creature In his hiding place, and soon I had him snared, ready to be dragged out on the prairie and tied, to be kept till the camera man was ready for him; then we turned the reptile loose on a bit of prairie, and the boy and 1, armed with sticks, beaded him orf when he tried to escape, while the camera man, with his head in the hood of his instrument, fol- lowed the creature about, seeking for evidence in the case of reason versus instinct. When the camera man was through witl.i him the alligator was set free, a dual shot being taken at him as he walked off. Our buuter boys could never be made to comprehend our rea- sons for restoring to the creatures their freedom. They understood the photo- graphing, but when this was done why not collect a dollar for the reptile's hide? Their manner implied that to this question no sane answer was pos- sible. -A. W.

During the greater part of the year we have only the servants that are necessary -115"Y husband's valet,one but- ler, the porter who stands at the en- trance to the • palace and a general utility country boy who In the after- noon .puts on a livery and acts as foot- man. The women servants are a cook, a scullery mnid, a laundress and two maids besides my own personal one. This list is not as extravagant as the slime would be in America. Wages are nothing by comparison. One can get a good lady's maid for $10 a month, a competent butler for $10, 0 cook for $10, a chambermaid for $41. Their fare would seem coarse to the spoiled servant of America, consisting, as it does. c•hiefy of bread, soup, mac- aroni and fruit, with tea and coffee of an inferior grade•and fresh meat once. a week. We spend nothing that we can possibly help until the Itoman sea. son. Then we have enough surplus to get an additional number of maids and a long row of footmen (these for the. most part young women and men from the village of our own estate), and both in our country villa and in our Roman palace we open all the rooms that for eight months have been closed and for four months live in luxury.. - An Expatriate in Everybody's Maga- zine. The Angler Fish. A singular superstition about the angler fab is entertained in some parts of Sweden (Bobuslani, according to Malin and Smitt. "It is so feared by many that the tackle is cut as soon as the 'monster' reaches the surface, and its captor hurries home in order to get there, if possible, before the misfor- tune portendedby the monster over- takes him." The extreme of misfor- tune -death -is believed by some to be indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed- ish fshermen ou the banks "believe that on board the vessel on which •an angler is taken some one is doomed to die mon. They therefore never or hardry ever take the angler ou board. but prefer to cut the line and thus lose the. book with the fish." An auemowetrical faculty is attrib- uted to the angler in Massachusetts. • According to Storer, "among the flatter - men in some parts of • the bay there is a common saying, 'When you take a goosefish, look out for an easterly storm.' " A Human Foot Warmer. It is interesting to learn that Julius Caesar found our Celtic ancestors just suffocating themselves with smoke. Giraklus, the early Welsh historian. describes a family as sitting round their smoky central tire by day and lying round it by night. But they could have had little comfort from it for the same historian tells us that one of their princes eked out his tire with a human foot warmer. This officer's duty was to keep his master's feet warm by cherishing them in his bosom during meals. For this purpose he squatted under the table, and no doubt it "did him proud" so to nurse the roy- al moccasins. -T. P.'s London Weekly. Why He Was Angry.

A majority of eougre:;sinen are itn- providept and when they are com- pelled to leave Washington have only a sutfcient surplus on band to carry them home. It matters little how much these mien make, the result is the same, for they five up to their revenue. Among 'the many was Daniel W. Voorhees, so well known lu his public. career as a famous orator, a genial, generous, good fellow and boon com- panion. In tnoney matters Voorhees was as simple and ignorant as a child. Ile parted with his money with no thought of its value. The middle of the month generally fouud 11in1 "broker' but this worried him little, for he man. aged to get along just as well until pay day. He ordered what lie wanted and had it charged and then forgot all about it. The ftinLRj pelt of his uature was that, while he d1(1 not remember his creditors, he always kept lu miud his friends and would give them the hist ceut he had if they applied for as- sistance. One day an old constituent of Mr. Voorhees from the Wabash, in Indiana, called at the capitol to see the senator. Not finding him in, he weut to the sergeant -at -arms, that position then being held by R. J. Bright, also from Indiana and an intimate friend of Mr. Voorhees. The old roan told his story to Bright and the reason why he was in search of Voorhees. In effect it was tbat he was "hard up" and Voor- hees owed him $150 on a note and he needed the money badly and was there to collect it. Bright thought the story over and said: "Now, my friend, if you go to Dan to collect this money be will not pay you a dollar. On the other hand, it you will go to him, tell him a hard luck story and put up a poor mouth he will raise and give you every dollar he can: ' The man took his advice and, meet- ing Voorhees, told him what a bad fix he was in and his need of a little as- sistance. Voorbees affectionately put his arm over his shoulder and said: "William, I am very sorry for you, and I will help you all I can. Come with me to the clerk's office. I do not know whether I have any money there or not, but I will give you all I have." The clerk informed the senator that there happened to be over $200 to his credit. This surprised Voorhees, but he said, "Give it all to my friend here, as he is a long way from home and needs it more than 1." Mr. Voorhees devoted the last ten years of his life to the Congressional library. Lentil Ills death be took no in- terest in politics or anything else but the library, and to him more than to any one else is due the completion of the beautiful structure.

Bats, as most people know, are mam- mals -they belong to the great class of "higher animals" which comprises mau himself. Moreover, it is not a lit- tle remarkable that among the host of extinct animals with which, thanks to the labors of geologists, we are now ac- quainted not one has been discovered in any way connecting bats with other mammals. Thus bats stand alone, while how and why they became vest- ed with the power of bight are ques- tions shrouded in mystery. The frame- work of the bat's wing is furnished by the fore limb. Indeed, the bones cor- responding to those of our own hand constitute its most important parts; hence buts are kuowu as cbiroptera, or hand winged animals. The thumb of the bat is free and terminates in a hooked claw, but the "fingers" are enormously lengthened, while between them stretches a skiu or Membrane, to which lu certain species the bones of the tail give additional support. All things considered, bats appear to be better models than birds for those who attempt to attain flight by mechanical menus.-St•ieutific American. Conferring a Knighthood. Sir Jann':> iinom les, the editor of the Nineteenth Century, used to describe with enjoyment the fashiou in which he was knighted. ile was at San- dringham one Sunday evening, and the king said to biw: '•Knowles, 1 want yen to be a knight. Wil! that please your wife?" "I'm sure she will be charmed by your thought of her, sir." "Well, then, send word to her in town." Sir James was discovered a little later by his majesty writing a letter, "No, no," said the king. "I've given it to the court newsman, and she will very likely see it in the papers before she gets the letter. Write out a telegram, and I will see that she has it tonigL't." And she had. "It was not the honor," added Sir James in telling the story, "that I valued so much as the way In which it was conferred." j The Peoples of Italy. There is a marked difference in stat- ure and temperament between the peo- ple of north Italy and those of south Italy. Tho reason 1s because, while politically one, they aro racially sepa- rate peoples. The Longobards, or L om- b r s who about 68 took possession of northern Italy and permanently es- tablished themselves in the rich valley watered by the Po and its affluents, were of Teutonic sock, their original home having been the region on the left bank of the Elbe, round about Magdeburg and Luneburg, Germany, while the Italians south of Lombardy are of the old Latin stock. This fact other explains the h and p physical y differ- ences between the people from the north and the people from the south of Italy.
