A man to be given a wide berth and plenty of margin, but very little rope, le ` the manwho 'laughs without smil- ing the nian who laughs• like a paints ed mask. -His face wrinkles, and he makes a noise, bat his face and cackle are as mirthless as the face and cackle of a barilcloor fowl. Such a man is .hardhearted, cruel, malignant . Remove , the restraints of civilized society and, such a man will stick at nothing... The man who laughs with a "Ila, ha, hen" and ."Flo, ho, he!" heartily,, explosively, is of an impulsive disposl- tion; but, when his impulses are good ones—and they often are—they'Iiave a way of fizzling out like damp pow- der, His laugh, though loud, comes to a sudden stop, as though he had suds. denly realized the .fact that he was making a big noise. His impulses have the same rick' of rapid closure, It would be well to get an affidavit and a receipt from this man. He may change his mind without being too par- ticular on the point of honor, A Man to Avoid. The man whose laugh rambles in his throat, coming out in little, spasmodic bursts, like a subterranean disturb- ance wbich makes spurts of steam and water and lava, has a keen sense of humor, and is very shrewd and far- seeing. He is the sort a man who niay hoax you, but you'll never get your own back. He is too cute- for little tricks to succeed. • But he has the vice of his virtues; he is over -cautious, and sometimes misses a great chance py going too slow. Ile ; is, besides,. a,Pt to be sus- . picious,• .and sometimes. say, . "Where - there's -smoke,there'ts:fire,' when -there :. isutenven-the smoke. Ile can. he trust, ed witha secret, however, for he lets . °neither his laughter nor his words es- cape from behind .the barrier of his teeth.

Such a person has that falsity, unreality, and shallowness of character which in- variably go with conceit, and, whilst he can never be a warm friend, he might be a very sly enemy. Generous and Good -Natured. Peapie who laugh internally, with a shaking of the shoulders and a.red- dening of the face, are generally whole -hearted, generous•, good-natured folk, who can be trusted; but perhaps the best laugh of all is the quietly hearty laugh, which just lets itself go smoothly and without undue restraint. A mere giggle - is inane, a horse- laugh is an indication of horse -sense,. a 'little snigger shows shallowness of nature, but a laugh which says in every tone, "That's splendid!" is the merriment of a person to be trusted and loved. This, atany rate, is certain—that a person's laugh is as unchangeable as the shape of his nose or the color of his eyes. Neither education nor polish can eradicate its math. characteristics. It may be modified, subdued, softened to seine slight extent, but it is the same laugh still, and, in unguarded enoments, will return to its tell-tale naturalness. And, even when modified and subdued, the laugh ie still a eubtle revealer of character. The Blacksmith's Reason. While Tom Biggers, the village blacksmith, toiled 'over the plowshare brought in by old Peter Mullins, -the ;farmer, the owner gold at length of the remarkalile success he had had with three litters of pigs he had sol'd in market that day. "Now," said old Peter, "them pigs was less than eight months old and they brought me ten cents a pound or " a little above $400. Why, Tom, only e few years ago them same pigs would have fetched me only about half as much. I tell you, Toni, the farmer is gittin' his harvest now." • By this tine Biggers had completed the sharpening of the share, and he handed it to Peter. From a well-worn purse old Peter took forth two dimes, the usual price for such a job, 'and dropped them into the blacksmith's hand, • "Say, Peter," observed Biggers, !"you'll have to conte again„ 1 charge thirty cents since the first of the year for sharpening that plow." "That's at1, outrage!" sputtered. old peter. "Why have you raised the ,price .on me?" "To buy 'some of that high-priced pork you were just teliin,' Me about," Said .' Biggers, with a grin. _. - Buy 7.'Irl! tt Stemple Spare time workers needed. We will pay $15 to $60 •weekly. Writing Show Cards. No caxwassing. Preltiours ex- perience unnecessary.

If Jules Verne were still alive,- his l fertile imagination would create new. wonders from the latest triumph of science—transmitting pictures by tele- graphy It is now possible to send one by an ordinary land line, by wireless, and by telephone. There: are now several methods of sending pictures by telegraphy, and they have all one feature in common. A picture is transmitted, not as a whole, but bit by bit. It is sent piece- meal from one end and built up in like manner at the other. The main principles of picture -tele- graphy are embodied in a system which was used experimentally a few years ago. At the transmitting sta- tion a copy of the picture to be sent is fastened round a metal cylinder which has a double motion—it both re- volves and travels longitudinally, Every part of the picture can thus be brought ultimately to the same paint. How the Wonder is Worked. Now, the picture has been so pre- pared that an electric current will not, pass through it, but witi pass through the material supporting it. So that, in "sending," the current passes when a bare part is reached and stops at any detail in the picture. At the other—the receiving—end is another cylinder moving ,at exactly the same rate. ROund this, is bent a sen- sitive• sheet, on which a dark deposit is produced wherever 'an electric cur- rent passes through it. The blanks in the copy are consequently represented by deposits on the street, and the re- s'uIt—assuming that the copy is a posi- tive—is a negative. But there is a system of transmit- ting a picture either by telegraphy, wireless or other, or by telephony. The „picture is drawn or placed on a sheet of: paper, divided into small ..squares, for each ofwhisht ereis a symbol. For example, the code -beginning at the tip left-hand corner—may be Al, the first ro A2,A3,etc: w, $1 for h B2, B3, etc., for the second row, and so on. At the receiving end is a similar sheet of paper, on which, by hand or otherwise, the picture is built up in accordance with the message. - Obviously, by this system a . picture could be sent round the world. Its range is limited only by that of tele- graphy or telephony. ' Low Cost of•, Transmission. The Swedish invention, which is a secret, appears to be a modification of� the code system. Two, portraits were recently cabled from -Denmark to Lon- don, one message containing 145 wards and the othex...185 words.. As a single error would have altered the picture, each message, on being re- ceived in London, was cabled back to Denmark, so that'it might be checked, and consequently the whole operation took a comparatively long time. In general, a picture can be turned into. code in from one to two hours, and an equal period is required for the pro- cess at the receiving end. The apparatus for working this sys- tem is inexpensive, and the cost of transmission is merely that of a tele- gram or message. Possibly, therefore, transmitting pic- tures by telegraphy will soon be a cone monplace of scientific achievement. -As far back as 1907 several newspapers installed apparatus, designed by Pro- fessor A. Korn, for picture -telegraphy, anti many inventors have since im- proved. on his ideas. An 'important use of the perfected ;system will be the furthering of the ends of justioe, as the transmission of the portrait of a criminal will be prac- ticable. Comes already sweetened.

Plants which require a great deal of light are shoved into a north window and ex- pected to do as well or better than those in a neighbor's south window, With the right'selection, much may be accomplished; with the wrong :selec- tion the result will be pitiful. Another consideration is the .ex- trenres of tetnperatnre which the plants will have to endure. The aver- age temperature does not matter so much, but the extremes are very im- portant. If the night temperature goes below fifty degrees, many plants will be cut out.. Sixty degrees will be the limit of another group and so on. Select with those two points in view, plant properly, water judiciously, and you have every right to expect good results provided always that .plants have been given a rest in the summer and are not already all worn out with blooming. For the cooler house, geraniums, chrysanthemums, sweet alyssum, Mar- guerites, English ivy and auracaria will .bloom successfully, To this dist may be added begonia, petunias, and heliotrope for the warmer house. For north windows or other win- dows which are shaded so they d,o not get direct sunlight, begonias, primulas and maiden hair and Boston ferns will make a good showing. In bringing the summer time into the winter home, do not forget the kitchen. A' box of parsley in the kit- chen window will do much to liven up the kitchen and will furnish a garnish for many a meal. A few 'hydrangea flowers placed in a dry vase will retain their appear- ance for a Long time. Those who love growing things will manage some way to have a bit of green life near them, no matter how small the home or cold the winters. THE TREASURE OF GOOD REALM .Easily Maintained Through the. Use of 'Dr.` Williams' Pink Pills. • There. is, not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, the towns, the villages, . on .. the farms and in the mines and lumber camps, where Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the country to the other they have brought back to bread -winners, their wives and families the splendid treasure of new health and strength. You have only to ask your neighbors, and they can itell you of some rheu- matic or nerve -shattered nian, some suffering woman, ailing . youth or anaemic girl who owes present health and strength to Dr. :Williams Pink Pills. For more than a quarter of a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but throughou t ail the world, as a reliable tonic, blood - making medicine. The wonderful success of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is. due to the fact that they go right to the root of the disease in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every nerve, thus driving out disease and pain, and making weak, despondent people bright, active and strong. Mr. W. T. Johnson, one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Lunen - burg county, N.S., says:—"I am a Provincial Land Surveyor, and am ex- posed for the greater part of the year to very hard work travelling through the forests by day and camping out by night, and I find the only thing that will keep me up to the mark is Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. When. I leave home for a trip in the woods I am as interested in having my supply of pills as provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly. The result is I am always fit. I never take cold, and can digest all kinds of food such as we have to put up with hastily cooked in the woods. Having proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never without them, and I lose no op- portunity in recommending them to weals people whom I meet" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be kept in every home, and their occa- sional .use will keep the blood pure and ward. off illness. You `can get these pills through any medicine deal- er ,or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from. The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. •s° No Mad Dogs in Poland. One of the curious results of the war in•, Poland has been the almost complete disappearance of rabies, says the New York Medical Journal. Owing presumably to the large num- ber of wolves and themany half wild doge, rabies was a common disease. five years ago. The Pasteilr Destitute in Warsaw, which wasopened by Pass tear himself and was the second ,Past - tour Institute in the world, is said to have given more inoculations than any other institute. But when the Ameri- can Red Cross first visited it, to offer help, they found only one doctor and one patient, The building had been stripped by the Germane, but neither the doctor nor' the patient scented to take the lac of eq i ,eat verymu c h to heart "'You see," the doctor' explained with a smile, "we doit't 'have very many mad dog cases now, because the Ger- Mans ate up all the, dogs."

A Franklin Acrostic. These verses. were sent. to Benja- nein Franklin, when he was but four and one-half years old, by his uncle of the same' name. They were learned by the boy as soon as he could read. Without doubt they exercised con, siderable, influence upon his whole life, especially the• line about the "shelf," meaning the pawn -shop, When he had become the great Dr. Franklin, he quoted them from memory, at the age of sixty-one, in a letter written from England to his son: Be( to thy parents an obedient son; Each day let .duty constantly be done; Never give way to sloth, or lust, or pride, If free you'd be from thousand ills be- side; Above all ills, be sure avoid the shelf; Man's danger lies in Satan, sin, and s elf.

Fraud and all falsehood in .thy deal- ings flee; Religious • always in thy station be; Adore the Maker of thy inward part, NOW's the accepted. time, give him thy heart; Keep a good conscience, 'tis a constant friend; Like judge and witness, this thy acts attend,' In heart with bended knee, alone, adore None but the Three in. One for ever- more, France's Perfume Industry. r The rare perfumes of France suffer- ed seventy during the war, and only the industry and thrift of the French prevented them from dying out alto- gether. Cannes and Grasse, according to the Illustrated World, are the can - tees of the French perfume industry, which is situated in southern France along the Mediterranean. In that "bower garden of the world" there is only one formula used in making per- fumes. It is very simply: the scent shall be unique and shall be produced in limited quantity; therefore they will be expensive. Eseence of rose, in the Riviera raw" material market, is often quoted as high a -s eight hung dyed dollars for two and one fifth pounds. The attar, or the essential oil, of a flower is obtained by crashing the leaves or petalsand boiling them in a copper caldron The residue from the belied leaves and petals is mixed with, clarified pork fat, and the mass is stirred with wooden paddles, Boiling the extract with tat concentrates the perfume. After boiling, the grease is churned with refined alcohol until the latter absorbs nearly all the odor. The residue of fat is made into fine soaps that have a high commercial value. The old method, which is still prac- ticed, consists in saturating a coarse linen or cotton cloth with olive oil and stretching it over a frame; thin layers of flower petals are then plaoed on the cloth until it has absorbed the essence of the flower. Thecloth is then treat- ed to an alcohol bath that iu turn ab- sorbe the perfume. In this process the flower petals must be change` freently. Grasquse still usea the enfleurage method, by which the delicate es- sences of the rarest flowers. slowly fil- ter through a quarter -inch layer of fat in shallow pons. The process takes from twelve to seventy-two hours, de - pending on the variety 01 the blooms and the season of the year.

A eeroful mother's 'three ehildeezt horrified her one day by producing three' bilious -looking toffee -apples for her inspection. "They are very pretty, dears," she said bravely, "but you really must not. eat them. I have heard of children dying through eating colored toffee- apples." Then she took the sweetmeats, and placed them out of reach -as she thought—en. a shelf in her dressing room. Very early next morning she heard Elsie trottiug along the passage, and called her into her bed -room. "What's my little girl doing up so early?" she asked.. "I was gotng along, mamma, to see if Dick and Arthur are dead yet. I'm not," was the reply.
