The CftQM of Laughter.
Bain 6upgests the explanation that
laughter is provoked by what be calls a
detrradatirn, meaning that we laugn
when we all at once perceive something
degrading, a trickery, a wef.ues or a
pettiness in some person or object which
we respect, as when tbe infirmities of
human natnre disclose themselves in a
person .f importance or when some
trivial affair occurs in a solemn cere
mony to drag us down or when the
wrong side of some great thing or some
great man is exposed.
"Tbo occasion of the laughter is the
degradation of a dignified person or in
terest under circumstances that do not
excite a streamer emotion. In all theo
ries of laughter the mere or less impor
tant fact is marked that the feel
ing of the ludicrous arises when some
thing which wo respected before is pre
sented in a mean light, for we have no
disposition to laugh when something
that we already regarded as such is de
picted as tricky and vile," Popular

where this cat showed superior mental

the mouse, thus protracting the amuse

Sport aa a leveloper of Character.
Every now and then there crops out
in this republic the notion that if our
more cultured citizens were our rulers
that we should be much better off. We
verr mue-h doubt it If our more man
ly citizens could rule us, then no doubt
we should be better off. But there is a
freakiness and finicalness, an inability
to give and take, a general rubbing and
creaking of machinery among men de
veloped only on tbe one side of tbe
mind, which always everywhere makes
them objectionable as rulers. Boxing
is jast as likely to make a man meek
as looks, but if you have a bully to deal
with neither the boxing nor the books
will avail anything, and he Ix-comes al

than as a prizefighter. Of course sport
will fail, jr.st as every other agency
will fail, with certain men. On the

Saint Xorah and tbe Potato,
St Norali was a poor girl, says the
London Puuclvwho prayed St Patrick
for a good gift that would make her not

of his own head, taught ber how to boil
a potato. A sad thing and to be lament
ed, that the secret has come down to so
few! Since the highest intellectual and
physical life is dependent upon diet
since the cook makes, while the physi
cian only mends should not she who
prepares our pies be as carefully trained
as he wbo makes cur pills?
Certainly whatever may be the
knowledge or the ignorance cf the serv
ant in the kitchen, the mistress of the
house, be she young or eld, ought to be
able, like St Patrick in tbe fable, out of
her own instructed bead to teach Norah
bow to boil a pututo or breil a steak so
that they may yield their utmost of rel

Joit Like a GirL
Tla is a very vounir boy. His is the
am when a lefry contempt for the oppo
site sex manifests itself, the contempt
which usually finds merciless rctriDU
tion ia later years.
His task cf watching the baby was
not as distressing as it might have been.
He had utilized the bassinet as a cra
dle and had found a place where the
flewr sloped a little. '
Tiohiiwl thn vehicle he extended him
self and with head on band proceeded
1
to read a story paper. An occasional
pull at a string fastened to the rear axle
imparted the motion necessary to keep
the slumLerer from waking, liut tne
baby soou bad its nap out and began to
cry. Tho boy paid no attention to iue
noise, and after awhile his sister came
to investigate.
"I snrnose von are coing to lie there
and wait for the baby to learn to talk
so it can tell yon what it's crying
about?"
"No:" he answered, "being able to
talk wouldn't make much difference."
"Why not?"
"Because it's a girl. Girls never
know what they're crying about It
just comes natural to them to do it"

Biting; Finger Nalla,
The chief finger nail chewers of tbe
world are the French, and it was re
cently stated upon reliable authority
that nearly two-thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit
Even for grown people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse cf narcotics, more difficult to
overcome thau the habit cf bit'ng the
fiuper nails. It requires a strcvg s lental
effort and constant vigilance to do this,
for ome n person bas become thorough
ly ud licted to tho habit be does it un-etm--iously,
and is only reminded that
be is marring himself when he gets oue
of bis nails gnawed down to tbe quick.
All manner of remedies have been ad
vanced fur the cure of the finger nail
biting habit, including the placing of
injurious and bitter compositions ou the
ends of the fingers, but none of the rem
edies amounts to much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. Tbe Americans are
next to the French in the finger nail
biting habit, probably because tbe
Americans, as a whole, are an exceed
ingly nervems people. A man who ac
complishes bis determination to knock
off bitiug his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them t3 look
fairly well within a year or so, but fin
ger nail biting, if long persisted in,
rnins the shape of the ends of the fin
gers, and the nails can never be brought
to look as well as those of the persons
who permit their nails to grow as they
were intended to grow. Washington

Too Much For Wataoa.
Only once did Watson, when a captain.
never fail to punish a man for intoxica
tion. This was in the summer of 1893
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took tbe Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among tho
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be bad. When the naval militiamen
came on board a witty boatswain's
mate, while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
"All - yon men baviug whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping.
Many an.ateur sailors took tbe bait.
and in a few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have a vast collection
of flasks passed to bim. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He
was found a day after sound asleep in
bis sailroom. literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain.
to whom was told the circumstances.
"Parker." said ho sternly, "I have no
words with which to discuss your case.
Go forward." New York Times.
Asked For a Shirt and Oot a Wife.
During tbe civil war there was a cer
tain young lady in Georgetown wbo
found it iu her power to do a great deal
for tlie Confederate soldiers confined
in prison at Washington. Y'oucg, Lean
tifuL cultured, popular, cf a wealthy
and prominent family, she was fre
quently allowed admission to tbe pris
on, whither she always took her maid
with a well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars.
One day as sbe was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
"If there is anything you would like
to have that I can bring you, won't yon
let me know? I shall bo very glad."
One mau stepped forward promptly.
Ecwiug most courteously, he said:
"If yon will be so kind, I should like
crv n.uch to have a clean shirt
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, cue cf the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eves the found it in her heart to
give bim much more than a clean shirt.

There is no more wholesome, palata

Jeaa Blchepia's Career.
Tho story of bow he came to adopt a
literary career is sufficiently picturesque.
For some time be bad pickea up a pre
carious livelihood by doing "odd jobs,"
Including such prosaio occupations as
that of bootblack and casual porter on
the Ouai Marseilles. One day he was
engaged by a gentleman to carry to tho
railway station a heavy truna. Arriveu
at the station, there was an iustant
mutual recognition. They were old col
lege chums. "What are you doing
here?" asked his friend. "Carrying

your trunk, 1 relieve. sain weuu.
"Why do yon do this?" "Because I
must." " Where do yon live?" "Come
and see," replied Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling a miserable room in an
attio in the poorest quarter of the town.
Upon the table lay scattered heaps or
manuscripts Jean's incursioua in the
realms of poetry when the more prosaio
duties of the day were over. Looking
through them, his friend was astounded
at their quality. "Why do you carry
trunks and blacken boots when you can
do work like this?" he asked. Richepin
had never given the matter a thought;
be had never deemed these products of
idle bours worthy of publication. Pub
lished they were, however, in a very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin has never looked back. West
