Gtrls spend considerable time try
ing to flnl out how to be popular. It
U natural that girl should swlt ap
proval aud admiration. Her popular
ity means a good time, boxes of rand,
theaters, d.uuv. do worn, everything
that the heart a of the young delight lu
The slrl that la popular Is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that sim
pers and puckers or giggles, but the
girl that laughs and means It. The
Ctrl that laughs can hare candy aud
flowers and theaters every day lu the
week.
Men flock about her. They adore
her. She laugh herself straight luto
the hearts of beaux and admirers aud
straight luto all the good times tlut
girl can dream of.
She laughs, but she Is careful when
ho laughs. She laughs with her
beaux, but never at them. She laughs
at what they say when they say It,
but never afterward. She laughs at
their Jokes, but never about them. She
never laughs at anyone's blunders or
misfortune.
She laughs when the beaux give her
flowers, she laughs when they give
her candy, she laughs wheu they take
her to the theater. Why shouldn't

all, the girl who knows how. to laugh
knows when to laugh and never laughs
when she should be silent.
She merely goes through life with
ber laugh ready and Into many dark
corners does she flash Its cheer.
Many a heart she makes glad Just by
passing. Many a burden she lightens
by the music of her voice.
Women forget to worry when they
hear the cheerful girl's laugh. Old
men are warmed at the sound of It
Toung men listen and follow It, pay
court to it, marry It. For It Is the
laugh that keeps the heart young, the
laugh that keeps the fare bright
What man wants a wife that can
not laugh? And the boy following

rteaeant Meal Times.
Many people most hare been struck
by the otter absence of Interesting
conversation that Is so marked a fea
ture of modern meals. In the olden
days all the wit and brightness of the
day seemed to be focussed luto the
breakfast and dinner hours, and near
ly all the celebrated stories of brilliant
repartee that have come down to us
were delivered during a meal. But
nowadays people talk over their wor
ries aud. bothers at the table, look out
trains and read papers during break
fast, and if they have got anything
disagreeable to say to another mem
ber of the family, very often choose a
meal time in which to say It.
Somebody once suggested that chil
dren should be trained to be bright
and cheerful during meals, just as
much as they are trained to eat prop
erly, for the one habit, like the other,
would cling to them when they grow
up and make them much sought after
companions.
Worry Is very bad for the digestion,
and so is another fashion of seeing
how fast yon can get through your
breakfast or lunch; certainly both
things react upon one's neighbor's en
joyment of the hours that should
bring relaxation and good humor.

Beauty's Downfall.
A warning note is struck by a lady,
who has both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard of
those laws which make for beauty.
We Americans are growing plainer,
she avera, simply because we allow
even our children to be affected by the
stress and strain of modern life. The
smartness, the ability to look after
themselves and the athleticism of the
women and children of the present
time spell physical ruin. Beauty Is
rarely seen nowadays In its unadorned
atyle. Lovely "women are artificial
products, and really lovely children are
as scarce as auks' eggs. The reason
is that our expressions have grown
anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and
members are strained out of shape by
over-exercise and our complexions and
hair are starved for Jack of nerve
force. The exquisite complexions, lux
uriant locks, delicate features and
clear, Innocent-looking eyes that one
associates with beauty are so seldom
seen as to be quite remarkable when
they are, and we are threatened with
a still further decrease of these ele
ments of good looks unless w bring
back our gifts to the plain and prliul
tlve style of upbringing, which per-
haps after all la the best for them
The "larger life" certainly has Ita
drawbacks.

HaUlnaj IMg-a for Market.
Those who have experimented have
found that there Is much more profit
In raising pigs from the surplus milk
from the dairy than In selling that
milk to factories where different arti
cles are manufactured from by-prod
ucts. For a number of years past
there has been an ever Inrreaslug de
mand for pigs of light weight, those
weighing from 100 to 115 pounds being
preferred, and such 'pigs can be raised
on the surplus milk product with a lit
tle added grain at very small cost.
If one will figure this cost, deduct It
from the price received for the pig and
put this computation against the re
ceipts from the by-product of milk
sold to factories they will readily see
the profit In the pig. If one is located
near large markets there Is much more
profit In raising light weight pigs than
heavy hogs; the cost of feeding Is not
so great, while the price per pound
received Is much more. This question
Is well worth looking Into particularly
If one has a dairy.

Some .uiprovement In agricultural

Is shown here. A supporting frame Is
suspended upon two runners, these
runners being similar to runners In a
snow sled, the whole apparatus being
constructed of either wood or Iron.
A leveler, In the shape of a triangle,
has the apex In a line with the rear
end of the runners, the open ends be
ing fastened to the front of the run
ners. A lever, in reach' of the driver
on the teat, controls an attachment
for raising or lowering the rear end
of the leveler to adjust the latter in
ita relation to the surface of the
ground. A cross bar connects the two
runners In front In use the dirt Is
leveled to the center of the machine,
Insuring an equal distribution over
the field being leveled. Jacob W. Laf

Milk Adulteration.
While the ordinary methods of milk
adulterations are easily detected by
expert examiners. It Is reported that
a French chemist. Ir. Queatievllle, has
made some experiments that point to
the probability thst for some time
there has been practiced a form of
deception In milk adulteration which
has escaped the attention of health
officers. In a paragraph In the Bir
mingham Dally Mall It Is explained
that the deficiency of fats, whether
due to the poverty of the milk or the
extraction of, fats, has been covered
by the addition of foreign greasy mat
ter. Dr. QucaurvUle found that "ben
sine would dissolve foreign fats with
out affecting the natural fats In milk."

have passed the ordinary test he dis
