LAUGHTER NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Evidences of Merriment Sometimes by
No Means Satisfying.
"Of course , you have hoard , " sold
the man with a sensitive ear , "a laugh
that Jarred. I don't mean , " he con
tinued , "so much u laugh at an Inop
portune time I Imagine we have all
heard such laughs as n laugh the
quality of which is unpleasant. There
Is something contagious in laughter
of the right kind , even though you
may be the object of It. It bubbles
from the well of good humor ; there Is
no hidden thought , or 'arrlero penseo , '
as the French say , behind It. It Is the
essence of frankness ; it la spontane
ous and wholesouled , and It cleanses
the system of the laughter , and , too ,
of the hearer , like a spiritual bath.
"Hut there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh is perhaps
the most familiar. Then there Is a
quiet laugh a sibilant secretive sort
of laugh that Is quite as certain to
mean mischief. Another laugh , dis
agreeable in its nature , Is the high-
pitched , nervous cachinatlon that
conies either from embarrassment or
Is n mere vocal habit. The worst
laugh of all , however , to my mind , Is
that mirthless sound provoked by the
distress or embarrassment o others ,
and It rasps , naturally , most of all ,
the object calling It forth. A person
laughed at and hurt never forgets the
experience. "
GIGANTIC IN SIZE AND WEIGHT.
Biggest Man That Ever Lived Claimed
by North Carolina.
"I'll bet none c-f you folks know that
the largest man that ever lived was
born and raised In North Carolina , "
said a Tar Heel. "His existence and
dimensions are vouched for In the
American encyclopedia.
"His name was Miles Darden. Ho
was seven feet six Inclfos high , and In
1S45 weighed 871 pounds. He was
born In North Carolina In 179S and
died In Tennessee January 23 , 1857.
Until 1853 he was able to go about
his work In an active manner , but his
weight Increased so fast that after
that year when he wanted to move
about he had to be hauled In a two-
horse wagon. In 1839 It Is chronicled
that his coat was buttoned around
three men , each weighing more than
200 pounds , who walked together In It
down the streets In Lexington , N. C.
At his death he Is said to have
weighed not less than 1,000 pounds.
His cotlln was 8 feet long , 35 inches
deep , 32 inches across the breast , 19
across the head and 14 across the
feet. These measurements were
taken at the time and are matters of
historical record. "
More Than He Wanted.
"Sometimes ladles thank me when.
I give up my seat to them , " the young
man said , "and sometimes they do
not , and then occasionally something
unusual happens. This morning when
I gave up my seat to a lady she
thanked me effusively. - \
" 'Thank you very much , ' she said ;
'very acceptable , I assure you. " This
speech attracted the attention of all
around , and really I think I would
prefer not to bo thanked at all rather
than to be thanked so generously.
"If It would be polite for me to in
dicate Just how I'd like to bo thanked
for giving up my seat I should say
that Just a little smile with a slight
Inclination of the head , would be the
acknowledgment that would please me
best of all. "
Greek Gives Fortune to Public.
A remarkable case of patriotic pub
lic spirit is recorded at Athens ,
Greece , where a wealthy Greek named
Sevastopulos has left a large fortune
of $1,000,000 for various public ob
jects. One hundred thousand dollars
Is left for the Greek Royal Agricul
tural society , $00,000 for founding a
technical school for work people , and
$500,000 for various philanthropic In
stitutions in Athens and Constanti
nople , i
Too Public.
"Hello ! Hello ! " explalmed Percy ,
through the telephone. "Is that Miss
Peachreen ? "
"Yes. "
"At last ! This Is Percy Plum. Do
you know , Miss Peachreen , I have
been trying for nearly an hour to get
you ! "
"La , mo ! " fluttered the voice at the
other end of the wire. "You shouldn't

Unlucky Thirteen.
It Is pointed out by a London paper
that Lord Chesham , who was recently
killed In the hunting field , was born
December 13 , 1850 , and married on
November 13 , 1877 ; that his elder son ,
who was killed In the South African
war , was born on September 13 , 187S ,
and his second son , the present holder
of the title , on June 13 , 1894 , becoming
fourth baron at the age of 13.
