A HEARTY LAUGH.
It la n niesalnc. Tlita Keflex of a Ian.
ahlny Soul.
The cold, chilling utmospbere which
sometimes pervades a reception or oth
er social gathering is often entirely
dissipated by the hearty, ringing laugh
ter of some simple, genuine soul who
Is bubbling over with fun. The stiff
ness and constraint which a minute
before embarrassed the whole com
pany are relieved as If by magic.
There is something in genuine, spon
taneous humor which removes all re
straint, scatters embarrassment, re
lieves tension and welds souls together
as no introduction or conversation can.
It puts the shy at ease, dissipates prej
udice, gives confidence to the timid and
reassures the shrinking soul. The
cheery smile or the spontaneous laugh
awakens sympathy and arouses feel
ings of friendliness. It seems to melt
all barriers.
Oh, what riches live in a sunny soul!
What a blessed heritage is a sunny
face, to be able to fling out sunshine
wherever one goes, to be able to scat
ter the shadows and to lighten sorrow
laden hearts, to have power to send
cheer into despairing souls through a
sunny and a radiant heart! And If,
haply, this heritage is combined with
a superb manner and exquisite per
sonality, no money wealth can com
pare with its value.
This blessing is not very difficult of
acquisition, for a sunny face is but a
reflection of a warm, generous heart.
The sunshine does not appear first
upon the face, but in the soul. The
glad smile that makes the face radiant
is but a glimpse of the soul’s sunshine.
—O. S. Marden in Success Magazine.
UNIQUE FEATS.
Odd Physical Tricks That People
Here and There Cun Do.
A group of traveling men were dis
cussing unique feats and physical
tricks that people here and there
can do.
"I know a Chicagoan,” said one,
“who can whistle a tune and hum its
accompaniment at the same time. He
whistles through a flat, not through the
usual round hole, and the deep, musical
accompaniment together with the shrill
sweetness of the whistle makes a
mighty attractive thing to hear.”
“I knew a barber,” said the second
drummer, “who had a unique way of
cracking nuts. He would place a nut
between the back of his head and a
stone or brick wall, and then he would
give himself a sharp rap on the fore
head with his flst The nuts would
crack open every time.”
“A Manayunk man,” said the third,
“can give his head a Jerk that turns
back his eyelids. He has to turn them
down again with his fingers. This is
an ugly feat, and I’m glad it Is rare.”
“I knew at school,” said the fourth
drummer, “a boy named Bucky Ad
ams who could play tunes by snapping
hl3 fingers. The thumb and first two
fingers of each hand would work away
busily, and forth would come the clear
est, sweetest, faintest music. I used to
sit with Bucky Adams, and many a
tedious school session would he make
shorter and pleasanter with this odd
gift.”—New York Press.
Pure Olive Oil.
If olive oil congeals In freezing
weather. It Is & sign that It Is adulter
ated with lard. Very few bottles of so
called olive oil will stand this simple
test—In fact, we seldom get the pure
thing, and. If we did, the chances are
that we could not eat It. At least, that
was the experience once upon a time of
one woman who used a great deal of
mayonnaise dressing upon her table
and had supposed that she doted on
olive oil. An Italian friend bestowed
upon her a flask of the peculiarly green
fluid. To her surprise, not one of her
family, herself Included, could bear Its
taste. There was a tang to It which
showed them that they had never eaten
olive oil before and that they never
wanted to eat It again. So they gave
the flask away.—New York Telegram.
TbMkeray’i Apology.
Thackeray once wrote in a note to a
friend, alluding to an incident occa
sioned by one of his articles In Punch:
“I thought over the confounded matter
In the railroad and wrote Instantly on
arriving here a letter of contrition and
apology to Henry Taylor for having
made what I see now was a flippant
and offensive allusion to Mrs. Taylor. I
am glad I have done It. I am glad
that so many people whom I have been
thinking bigoted and unfair and un
just toward me have been right and
that I have been wrong, and my mind
Is an immense deal easier.”
A Great Idea.
“My new play Is sure to make a hit,”
said the great actress. “It gives me an
opportunity to display twenty new
gowns."
“Gracious!” exclaimed her friend.
“How many acts?”
“Only four, but In one of them the
scene's at a dressmaker’s.”—Philadel
phia Press.
Talents.
As to the great and commanding tal
ents, they are the gift of Providence
In some way unknown to us. They rise
where they are least expected. They
fall when everything seems disposed to
produce them, or at least to call them
forth.—Burke.
Evolution.
“There is an old proverb that a man
becomes what he eats.”
"Then I suppose all the cannibals
will be missionaries In time.”—Cleve
land Leader.
Philosophy does not regard pedigree.
Bhe did not receive Plato as a nobis,
but made him so.—Senses.

ALLHALLOW EVE.
Hi Observance la Clearly a Hello «f
Old I'nisan Times.
The observance of Allhallow eve,
or Halloween, is clearly a relic of pa
gan times, for there is nothing in the
church observance of the ensuing day
of All Saints to have originated such
extraordinary notions as are connected
with this celebrated festival or such re
markable practices as those by which
it is distinguished. The leading Idea
respecting Halloween Is that It is the
time of all others when supernatural
influences prevail. It Is the night set
apart for the walking abroad of spirits,
both of the visible and invisible world.
One of the special characteristics at
tributed to this mystic evening Is the
faculty conferred on the Immaterial
principle of man to detach Itself from
the body and wander abroad through
the realms of space. Divination, or
second sight, is believed then to attain
Its highest power, and the gift asserted
by Glendower of calling spirits from
“the vasty deep” becomes then at the
command of all who choose to avail
themselves of the privileges of the oc
casion. There Is a remarkable uni
formity in the fireside customs of this
night in all parts of Great Britain.
Nuts and apples are everywhere in
requisition and are consumed In im
mense quantities. Indeed, the name
Nutcrack night, by which Halloween
Is known In the north of England, indi
cates the predominance of nuts in the
entertainments of the evening. They
are not only cracked and eaten, but are
made the means of divining nnd proph
esying In love affairs. Apples are also
used In many of the evening games for
the same purpose.
FOOLING A GREAT DOCTOR.
The Trick the Belgian! Played on
Sir Morell Hackeule.
The Belgians once succeeded In getting
cut rates on an operation from Sir Mo
rell Mackenzie. He engaged to attend a
ease at Antwerp. When he landed he
was met by three men In mourning,
who Informed him, according to the
Reader Magazine, that the patient had
died, but that they would pay his full
fee.
"And now,” said the man, “since you
are here, what do you say to visiting
the city hospital and giving a clinic for
the benefit of our local surgeons? It Is
not often they have an opportunity. of
benefiting by such science as yours.”
Sir Morell said he would gladly com
ply. ne went to the hospital and per
formed many operations, among which
were two of a similar nature to that for
which he had been called over. When
he finished, all thanked him profusely.
On the steamer going home he met a
friend who had a business house in
Antwerp.
“Pretty scurvy trick they played on
you. Sir Morell.”
“What do you mean?” asked the sur
geon.
“Told you the patient died before you
arrived, didn’t they?”
“Yes.”
“Lied. You operated on him and a
friend with the same trouble at the
clinic. Cot two operations for one
price!”
ISngllih Cookery.
French cookery came from Italy, but
long before France attained any dis
tinction English cooking wns spoken of
as the best in Europe. After the reign
of Henry VIII. soups and fish fell Into
general disuse, and larger quantities of
meat occupied their place. “In the
reign of James II. cookery had fallen
to Its lowest depth. It revived n little
In the reigns of Anne and Georgo I.,
degenerated again In the reigns of
George II. and III., until at last Eng
lish cooking was little better than that
of the ancient Britons*”—London Tele
