A CORDIAL NATURE. . .
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

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

Farming.
Nothing; will take the various social
distempers which the city and artifi

ing, like direct and loving contact with
the soil. It draws out the poison.

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. I assure you!" New
