Straight across tho Delaware from horn, atul back among tho IiIIIh wlticli run parallel with tlio rlvor for nmny miles, lives a family concerning whom tho strangest stories aro told. Tho fa- titer and tious aro farmers, and all live in a large, substantial house, a fow yards from tho road to Doyiestown. i'hoy aro all ohronio laugher's, having no atlootiou of the muscles of the mouth amjl throat which compels them to give veh t to apparent merriment at stated intoi-vals. Tito malady lirst appeared in thfe father about ten yours ago. Ho was usually a very quiet man, enjoying fun, but manifesting his enjoyment VL,UUUI II1UUII IIO1S0. 110 WHS HOIUOtl III tho dinner table ono day in the spring ofytho year, eating steadily and not en gaging in any of the conversation which tlio other members of the family wore ' carrying on. Suddenly, without any cause, he burst into a loud lit of laugh tor so extremely diiTbront from his ac customed laugh that all were attracted by it at once. When asked what was tho reason for his sudden outburst ho made no roply, but continued his murri mont. Some of tho boys thought ho hnd hysterics and pounded him on tho back, but it did no good. After a fow moments he made motions for pencil and paper and wrote that he was unable to control his risibles and asked tliem to i send for a doctor. THK NATUUB OK TUB MAI.ADV. Tho rural physician camo, but could give no remedy that stopped tho laugh tor. Poal after peal of what sounded liko tho heartiest kind of fun camo from him, und nothing would avail to provent it. Tho doctor finally came to tho conclusion that ho was tho vic tim of a nervous attack, and, leaving a norvino, departed. Tho father con tinued laughing until about sundown, when lie suddenly stopped and fell on the iloor, conipletoly prostrated, lie soongrow better, however, ate a hearty supper and spent tho evening much as usual. No signs of a return of the odd troublo appearing, ho went to bod and was soon fast asleep. Along about two o'clock in tho morning, however, his wife was awakened by his laughter, and tho same symptoms manifested them selves as on the afternoon previous. Ho kept it up until so von o'clock, laugh ing loud and strong. At seven o'clock the noiso suddenly ceased and did not return again until dinner time. Thus it continued, re curring each day shortly after noon and in tho night about two o'clock, and has over since. As tho weeks passed ho grow so accustomed to tho iliseaso that lie was caused very little inconvon ionco by It. Ho did not got tired out, us at lirst, ami soon was able to go about his work sowing sood and plant ing corn, digging vegetables and wa tering cattle while laughing iniiuodor atoly. Ho could not talk while under ono' of tho spells, but carried a slnto and pencil around witii him, after tho fashion of a deaf and dumb person. TUB I.AUC.1ITKU srUKAKS. Tho troublo was very regular in its coming and going and only occasional ly broke forth at unlooked-for seasons. Unco tho old man was taken in church, just when tho minister was exhorting his h oarers in the most solemn strains, and spoiled tho oll'oot of tho discourse, besides disturbing tho equilibrium of tho clergyman. Another time ho was iouiul by ono ot lus neighbors along mo road, lying beneath ii bag of Hour, laughing at a torrilio rate. Ho lias boon taken whilo driving homo from tho mill and tho suddenness of the sounds frightened tho horso, causing it to run away and dump tho man and part of his load out in tho road. For eighteen months tho fathor wasthoonly ono of tho household ulllieted with tho malady. Sovornl of them hud com plained fiom time to time of uu inoli nation to join the fathor in tho laugh, but nono of thorn did so until noarly two yours after he was taken, when Susie, tho youngost child, suddenly burst into a similar lit during ono of nor father's attacks. From that time on sho has laughed at about tho samo hours her fathor does. Ono by ono tho remaining mombors fell vietims to tho strange complaint, until throe years ago thoro was but ono loft froo, and that was Charles, tho oldost son. Ills long ex emption led him to bollovo ho would oseapo tho contagion. Hut ho was mis takon, and it is said ho had his lirst at. tack whilo petitioning for tho hand of a Harrlsburg damsol.

Sbo 1h now ono of tho family hero, and, escaping thomnlady, novor minds tho hideous chorus of laughter which twico a day resounds through tho house or grounds. It is regarded as rather strange that none of tho neighbors should have caught tho infection, but such is tho case, although many of them mingle constantly witii the family. TllYINO TO HTOl" IT. Everything possible has been done to alleviate or remove tho malady, but without perceptible oll'oet. Several eminent physicians from tiio leading cities have visited tho homo and grown exceedingly interested in tho case. Thoy all confess themselves bullied by tho malady and want ono or two of tho family to go to tho city, where thoy can reeeivo constant treatment. This thoy steadily refuse to do. Their peculiar trouble, so noticeable and odd, has made them very sensitive, and thoy will not travol where thoy will bo sub jected to public scrutiny and remark. Thoy go to church or tho store in tho village close by, and attend social gatherings occasionally in tho neigh borhood in tho evenings, but only among life-long friends. People within ji radius of a fow miles aro ho accus tomed to tho thing that thoy novor mind it or mention it. Consequently very fow people outside of the imme diate vicinity, and tho physicians who have attended them, are cogni.nnt of tho circumstances. People passing tho house, osnecSftllv in the summer time. Jmvo been filled with curiosity by what thoy Haw and hoard, and have carried accounts to distant places, lliesc re ports aro very vague, for tho passers ly have no definite idea of tho matter. Thoy only know that it looked remark ably strange to see a father and his sons out in a Held plowing and sowing many rods apart, yet each one laughing as though he laid heard the best joke in the world. Curious stories aro told of the trave oral year lors who went that way. Sov- ears ago two young ir.on camo from Doyiestown to attend a party at Erwinnti, a summer resort on tho Penn sylvania side, a few miles below here. It was a warm night and thoy did not start back until late. Thoy drove past lite house of the laughing family soon after tho regular attack hud bogun. Tho windows wore all open, and every sound could bo clearly heard. As tho young men approached thoy hoard tho most unearthly noise their oars had over received. It seemed liko a perfect pandemonium, and they felt sure they must have struck tho entrance to the lower regions. Tho horso took fright and nearly run away with them. Com ing to tho conclusion that, at tho least. tho olaco was haunted, tliov hurried homo, and tho next morninirsnread tho news, t'arties wore tormed to investi gate tho matter, but nono of thorn solved tho subject until informed by u man in the village near at hand as to tho nature of tho case. Thoy wero urged to remain reticent about tlio mut ter, and have done so. TIIKIll l'UKSK.NT CONDITION. The years of incessant laughter have " "" " pt...... -.-- told somewhat on the faces of tho fam ily, but not so as to bo very noticeable. Thoro aro scores of lines undor tho eyes and abovo tho chcoks, caused by the drawing up of tlio skin. Then their mouths have become wider, and thoy keop them closod witii diiliculty. Tho most marked result of the disease, how ever, is in tlio voice. Tho entire fam ily talk in tho samo tone, resembling as near as anything tlio voico of an alto singor. Mules and females have tho samo inflection and intonation. Most of them have more or less troublo with thoir oyos, several having become very near-siglitod. Tho pupils havo con tracted and the entire eyeball is dimin ished in si.e. This is accounted for by tlio contraction of the eyes whilo laughing and tlio effort roquired in working or reading whilo undergoing an attack. Very little physical annoy ance is caused tho laughers. Thoy road and write, sleep and work without any troublo. Tho only tiling thoy seom un able to do, while attacked, is to oat, and that can bo readily understood. Several grandchildren havo boon born, and in all but ono instanco thoy woro taken, soon after birth, with stated at tacks at the samo hours us thoir pur onts. 01 course thov do not laugh as the oldor ones do, but they crow and express all tho signs of baby gloo twico a day and novor cry whilo in that state.

Small Frulta. Small fruits, in our climate, mean, I tako it, currants, gooseberries, black berries, raspberries, strawberries and grapes. Their culture for prolit, homo comfort and health should have the widest welcome. No industry will av erage any richer dividends from the market than these nattily oflbrcd and well grown supplies. I'hoy may bo raised in lino form, undor tho richest culture, yet if thoy aro not marketed neatly, in good order, free from mitssi ness, and freshly picked, tlio fruit raisor will bo disgusted with his returns. A good many slovenly growers moot ro unds to tho uncomely offerings of their goods, which thoy aro blind enough to think duo to a public want of taste for small fruits, lint there is in cities and large towns an unlimited market for fruits to which culture has done justice and which tho owner oilers measured out and boxed in handy shape to han dle. No man should market fruit who does not muko it a business. Because you huvo a fow quarts of any kind be yond your homo supply, don't fill your tin kettle or pock measure and dump into a storo to swap for grocorios. Givo your overplus to some nice neighbor or some poor, lone widow, whoso homo room or pinched afl'airs will not admit growing them or buying thorn. Every householder, both for tlio lovo of tlio limit and tho joy of its culturo and possession, should plant some of these small fruits. An abundance is tho duty and tho glory of any largo plauo. No house lot, however small, should bo without some of the assortment. It is wonderful what crops every kind will yield to a busy worker in his homo lot. Ever' vacant place, every drooping shod, every fence border can bo matlo to rejoice in thoir fruitage Of course thoy cannot bo loft to tako caro of thorn solves as ordinary fruits often aro, in tlio wide garden or fruit farm. A good deal of winter pruning, frequent sum mer pinching, skill and judgment in training to cover unoccupied spaces, and a deftness that only praotico teach es, must beget plenty anil excellence. Some of tho caro and constant watch fulness over small fruits in tlio little homo is not out of place either in larger grounds or on tho fruit farm. Til leave tlio larger cultivators to take caro of themselves and devoto a few words to tho methods by which a plenty of small fruits can bo hnd in tho narrowest doma n. And lirst about grapos: I have a friend who, from a single lino of Clinton (Jrnpo on a galvanized wire, gets bush els of tho friiit. On a twenty-fivo-foot lot twelve Biioh vinos can bo trained up on to tlio lean-to or roar walls of tho dwelling, stretching up thirty fcot or more, both studded with fruit and shading tlio house. Strong posts around your littlo roar yard may 7ioId as many more. Then along tho kprdors .below the grapes you unity Muvo currauts trained to singlo sis, tied to hor izontal wli'os, ripening in thoir soason a delightful abundance. Gooseberries so trained, of our hardy, unmildewing American kinds, will givo you lots of the luscious fruit. Somo of thoso hardy modern black-cap raspberries trained in somo odd plnco will cheer your table witii thoir harvest. Even tho thorny Lawton or some of tho hardier kinds of blackberries, trimmed and trained and pruned and pinched; will give a largo supply for their season. Then as to strawberries, not much can bo done with any kind of conyfort in an ordinary city lot. But in a small homestead of fifty by one hundred feet there is, after all these other fruits aro provided for, still room for a straw berry bod to supply that delightful fruit from the beginning to tho ending of its soason. On this joy of tho table tho householder should expend his soul. Its soil should bo deep and rich, but not with too rank manure; every runner should bo clipped during its botuing season. In separate rows ho should havo kinds covering tho first blush of this fruit to its latest yield. Not a weed or a grass-spiro should bo found; but all should bo well mulched to keop tho berries from the spattering rain and dirt. Through the bearing season drench with water. This lattei is a very needed tiling which the largo growers cannot furnish. But for it the struwbern's appetito is so great that nothing will so help out tho cotter's crop, as to tlio bigness and aoundanco of its yield and tlio duration of its sea son, as an abundant supply of wntor uitjhts and mornings. Nothing so binds to our hearts the sacred memories of home as the joyous ness of the family table well supplied with small f i nits. Tho littlo youngsters from thoir earliest youth so relish tlioso healthful fruits, that in after life enjoy ment of them makes up a largo part of homo memories and endears to them, as much as any icsthetic or montal cul ture, those who havo eared for their tender years. Cor. hural New l'orke7: There is no mystery about giving a horso a nice, line coat, says tlio National Live Stork Journal. Feed him on any nutritious food, keep his skin clean, brush and rub tho hair thoroughly, and often; keep him in a warm, comfortable stable, and in unusually cold weather blankot him. Blanketing will aid ma terially in giving smoothness to tho coat. There is no particular kind of food, drug, or nostrum that will givo a binooth coat to a horso, in tlio absence of the abovo-natnod conditions, and with thorn no drugs or condiments will bo necessary.

THOTTV'S TItOUMitiS. "Tho baby's dreadful sick, and moth er wants you to como quick." Aunt Itacliel put down her sowing, and looked lirst at littlo Tom Jncksou, who stood in tho doorwny, nil out of breath and much frightened, and then out of the window to" her nephew, Trot ty. who was busily engaged building a snow man just then. " Won't you como?" asked Tom, nnxiously. ' 1 suppose I must and trust to Providence," replied Aunt Rachel, ris ing and putting away hor work. But, judging irom the look of anxiety on hor face, her trust in "Providence" was not very secure. "There is no knowing what ho'lltako into that head of his to do," sho said to herself, as sho put on her bonnet, look ing Trot ty ward. Aunt Rachel considered all boys as unnecessary ovils, and this particular specimen of tho species she regarded as one of hor greatest means of grace. Not that Trotty was a particularly bad boy. but ho was a thorough boy, goinjr from ono piece of mischief to another with untiring energy. Just at present lie was stopping with Aunt Rachol. The twins had the meas les, the baby was teething, und poor mummu, between them all, was about used up. So Aunt Rachel had benovo lontly taken Trotty homo with hor for a visit. It cortninly did seem verv inconsid erate in baby Jackson to take this time to fall sick; but, since sho had, Aunt Rachel could not in conscience refuso her aid. So, with many a caution to Trotty, who appeared to havo not a thought in tho world beyond his snow man, and many a foreboding, sho sot forth. Sho had not been gone live minutes before ho conceived the brilliant idea of arraying his innig-J in her Sunday bon net und uloidc. , r . This seeming to him an unusually happy thought, lie at once set about putting it into oiled, without for a mo ment stopping to consider whether or not Aunt Rachel would object. "It'll be the funniest tiling that over was," he chuckled to himself as he rushed in to tho house. The cloak, ho know, was hanging in tlio hall closot, tho bonnet was in its box on tho lower shelf of the china closot. Alas for Trotty! another unlucky thought occurred to him as ho opened that door, and spied on the top itself numerous jars ot presorves. lrotty had ono weakness, and that was plum preserves, particularly Aunt Rachel' a, and nover in all his life had ho any thing liko enough. Thoro stood a largo jar of it right m front; did over any thing look more tempting! Trotty deliberated a minute or two, looked out of tho window, down the street. No sign of Aunt Rachol. Then ho looked up again, und a minute after lie had the big family Biblo in the chair, and was climbing up. Ho had his hand on the jar, and was slowly working it along to tho edge of tho shelf, when something happened, ho novor quite knew what, only down came tho presorvos, chair, Biblo and himself, all in a heap on the iloor. Such a looking child us ho was pre serve in his curls, eyes, on his jaoKot and punts, everywhere but in his mouth, nnd for tho lirst timo in his life he had no desiro to havo it there. lie .was very sure, in fact, that ho would never want to tasto it again, no matter how long ho lived. But what should he do was tho ques tion lie asked as ho picked himself slowly and sorrowfully upand surveyed the scene. "I want to seo my mother," ho said, witii a queer littlo quiver in his voice. Then, after another brief survov. ho pulled his cap down over his sticky curls, put his hands, likewise sticky, into his poekots, und wont straight out of tho houso, down tho street, looking neither to the right nor loft. Mamma had given tho twins thoir supper in tho nursery, had undressed baby and was rocking him to sleep when tho door opened, and a queer lit tlo figure came rushing up to her with outstretclied arms. "1 fought I'd como home," sobbed. Mamma put tho baby down in cradle and took tho littlo wanderer he tho .l?: " How did vou rro.t here, mv sonV" sho asked, helping him off with his boots, and holding his almost frozen little hands and feet in hors. " I coined myself. I got lost two or froo times, and I was awful tired, but I kopt a coming, 'cause I wanted you." Mamma waited in speechless anxiety. What hail this littlo son of hers been do ing?

That was Trotty's story, told with many tears. Mamma drew a breath of relief; it was not so bad as it might havo been. Rut, nevertheless, Trotty must not bo allowed to view tlio mattoV in that light, and for a fow minutes mamma was puzzled to know what to do with him. " I think." sho said, after whatscomed a long timo to Trotty, who was waiting anxiously to know his punishment. " 1 think my littlo boy must go right back to Aunt Rachol. Hero comes papa, ho will tako you." " Oh!" cried Trotty, in dismay, "I don't want to. You punish mo your self, mamma, harder'n everything." But mamma was linn. Trotty' hud disobeyed Aunt Rachel, and to her lie niut go, confess and submit to what ever punishment sho decreed. It was almost dark when Aunt Rachel found herself at liberty to return home. She looked anxiously all the way u,y the street, but no Trotty was to bo seen any where, and hor observant eyes took in tlio fact that tlio snow man was just. where sho left it; Trottv having evi dently abandoned it immediately, i'heit sho went into tlio house; all wasstilland dark. "Trotty!" sho called. No answer. What had happened to him! But the instant she lighted a lamp she discovered what had tiiken piae. "Did 1 ever in all my life!" sho ex claimed, indignantly, as sho surveyed tlio ruins. "Of all things in the world, deliver me from a boy!" Presently she began to wonder where tho child was, and she loft thing) as thoy wore to search for him. But no Trotty was to bo found anywhere. " Dear mo," she exclaimed, ro-illy worried now. "What if ho lias start ed home and got lost. I doalaro I be lieve I'd forgive him a dozen times over to know lie was safe." .Just then the door opened, and there 3tood somebody of about Trotty' s size. For a minute or two ho stood hesitat ing, with downcast eyes; then, very cautiously, ho hazarded a glanco up into Aunt Rachel's face, and then why, lie burst into tears! " I'm sor rier' n anything," ho sobbed; " please forgive mo." Ho looked so pitiful, so frightened, no "sorrier than anything," that Aunt Rachel took him up in her arms and kissed away tlio tears, kindly assuring him ho was forgiven. "I don't seo what makes mo do so many naughty things," said Trotty to his mother, as sho tucked him into bed that night. " I moan to bo real good, and then omctliinir comes into my mind, and 1 does it botoro 1 links," sometimes and sometimes I docs link, only I don't hard enough, I guess.w I should s'poso I'd learn, causo 1 havo so much troublo and tribilation being naughty.

How do you think" tho littlo iron ball gets inside tho boll? It is too big to be put in through tho holes in the boll, and yet it is inside. How did it get there? This little iron ball is called " the jinglet." When you shake the sleigh bell it jingles. When the horse trots tho bolls jingle, jingle, jingle; in mak ing the bell, this jinglet is put inside a littlo ball of mud, just tho shapo of tho inside of tlio bell. Then a mold is made just tlio shape of the outside of tho boll. This mud ball with the jinglet inside is placed in tho mold of the out side and tho melted metal is poured in, which fills up tho space between the mud ball and mold. When tho mold is taken oft', you see a sleigh-bell, but it would not ring, as it is full of dirt. Tlio hot metal dries the dirt that the ball is made of, so it can bo all shaken out. Attor the dirt is all shaken out of holes in the bell, tho lit tle iron jinglet will still bo in tho boll, and it will ring all right.
