If It la Not Yours, Do Your Best to Acquire It, The cnltlratlon of cordiality and pop ularity early in life will hare a great deal to do with one's advancement, comfort and happiness. It Is a mortifying thing to hare a kindly feeling In the depths of one's heart and yet not be able to express it, to repel people when one has Just the opposite feeling toward iUom. To be incased in an Icy exterior with a really warm heart is a most unfortunate thing. Some people hare a Tepclliug expres sion In their faces and manner which Is a constant embarrassment to them, but they Jo not seein able to overcome it This is largely due to a lack of early training or to the fact that some times these people hare been reared in the country, away from the great centers of civilization, where they do not have the advantages of social in tercourse, and In consequence liecome cold and nppe:;r unsympathetic when they are really the opposite. It is a very difficult thing to over come these handicaps, but the cultiva tion of good will, of a helpful spirit und kindly feeling toward everybody will go far to open up the hard exterior so that the soul can express itself. Suc cess Macazlne. The Horse's Ancestors. Lovers of horses may be delighted with tho distinguished genealogy which geologists have completed for that fa vored animal. At least the names of the horse's ancestors look very distin guished. Ilere Is the list, with the geo logical eras In which each lived, as ar ranged by Trofessor W. N. Itice: The line of descent begins with Ilyracothe rium and Eohlppus of the lower eocene age. Then follow Trotorohlppus iind Orohippns of tho middle eocene; Epl hlppus of the tipper eocene; Mesohip pus of the oligoeene; Anchitherliim of the lower mlocene; rarahlppus, Troto hlppus and THohlppus of the middle mid upper mlocene, and finally Eqnus of tha pliocene and the quaternary, from which the modern horse directly descends, nipparion and Illppldlum represented ancient side branches that died without descendants. More Laughter, Less Suicides. The physiological benefits of laughter cannot be overestimated. It shakes tip the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating to a lively measure, stimulates the blood corpuscles, enlivens the brain and sometimes produces dislocation of the jaw when Indulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Used with discretion, laughter is as Inspir ing as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect Is beyond compulation, it has killed more ridiculous superstitious by Its rollicking roars of unbelief than any "other agency. What can be more de cisive than u laugh? The man who laughs never kills himself. Exchange. Living Up to His Name. A teacher in a mission school in Bos ton had among her pupils a colored boy named Italpli Wuldo Emerson Longfellow. As he was absent one Sunday, she asked the class If any one knew the reason for his absence. f "I reckon I do," said one small, seri us looking boy. "What is the reason, Johnnie?" ' "I guess he's home writing poetry," responded the boy, with a delighted chuckle. Youth's Companion. That's What Makes Him Mad. "Why are you always quarreling with your wife?" "She is always arguing with me." "But you need not get angry; Just explain to her in a calm, geutle tone of voice wherein she Is wrong." "But she is never wrong." -Houston Post Farming. Nothing; will take the various social distempers which the city and artifi cial life breed out of a man like farm ing, like direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poison.

Field and Stream. SHE HAD A REPUTATION. But the Customer Was Not Going to Eat the Lady. A lady who Intended to give a dinner to some friends at which the piece de resistance was to be duck shot by her husband on the shores of eastern Mary land, decided that none but the very best jelly should be served as an ac companiment to the dainty fare. So she proceeded to a gorgeous Broadway establishment, a place whore one pays a quarter apiece for tomatoes and a dollar a stalk for as paragus at certain seasons of tho year. The jelly the clerk offered her did not appear to bo just what she wanted, so she suggested another variety. "Rut, madam," said 'the clerk haughtily, "this Is the very best jelly yon can buy. It Is made by Sirs. Mc Ouggin of Brooklyn." And ho pointed to the label on the jar. "I've never heard of It," meekly sug gested the lady. "Are you sure It's all right? Vn you guarantee It?" Seeing that his customer was ex tremely mild of character and perhaps to bo easily rattled, the clerk smiled in a patronizing way. "Guarantee!" re peated he, more haughtily than ever. "Madam, we don't have to guarantee Mrs. MctJuggin's jelly. Her name Is enough. This lady, madam, has a repu tation r "Oh, 1 have do doubt of that, I'm sure," broke In the mild mannered lady, with a heightened color. "I'm not questioning the lady's reputation. It was the jelly.
