The Horse's Ancestors. Lovers of horses ma- be delighted with the distinguished genealogy which geologists have completed for that fa vored aninal. At least the names of the htrse's ancestors look very distin guished. Here is the list. with the geo logical eras in which each lived, as ar ranged by Professor W. N. Rice: The line of descent begins with Hyracothe riumi and Eohippus of the lower eocene age. Then follow Protorohippus and Orohippus of the middle eocene; Epi hippus of the upper eocene; Mesohip pus of the oligocene: Anchitherium of the lower miocene: Parahippus, Proto hippus and Pliohippus of the middle and upper miocene, and finally Equus of the pliocene and the quaternary, from which the modern horse directly descends. lipparlon and Hippidium represented ancient side branches that died without descendants. \More Laughter, Less Suicides. The physiological benefits of laughter cannot be overestimated. It shakes up 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 computation. It haz killed more ridiculous superstition., by its rollicking roars of unbelief thanl any other agency. What can be more de risive than a 1:ygl? The muan who lauahs never killa hinself.-Exchange. G.

"One of the tirst things we have to Impress upon uewcoiers in this busi ness." reiiarkied a dealer in fine prints. "is to take the utmost care in handling prints for the simple reason that the ink used in prining engravings and etchin;;s practically never dries. Of all thte miien whose works in this line we hanile it can be safely said that on the prints of only two of them Rembrandt and Durer-has the ink really dried. And you know it is a long time since they were alive. It has been our frequent experience to have prints fully 200 years old show signs that the ink still had some mois ture in it, as we have learned to our :ost in seeing them rubbed. "An expert. whether he be a profes slon:1l or amateur :ollector. can tell at a glance that a print has had another one pulled aeress it. for to his accus tomed eyes the telltale marks of the ink having been drawn across a blank place on the paper are as clear as day light. That is why we keep all of our prints in boxes that just fit them so that they must be lifted out squarely with no chance of their being dragged across the one below. It seems llke a trifle. But it is just such trifles that make or mar the sale of a really fine print worth thousands of dollars." ~w York Press.

A CORDIAL NATURE. If It Is Not Yours, Do Your Best to Acquire It. The cultivation of cordiality and pop ularity early in life will have a great deal to do with one's . advancement, comfort and happiness. It is a mortifying thing to have a kindly feeling in the depths of one's heart and yet not be able to express it, to repel pecople wvhen one has just the opposite feeling toward them. To be incased in an icy exterior with a really warm heart is a most unfortunate thing. Some pecople hav-e a repeClling expres sion in their faces and manner which is a constant embarrassment to them, but they do not seem able to overcome It. This is largely due to a lack of early training or to the fact that some times these people have been reared in the country, away from the great centers of civiliz.ation., where they do not have the advantages of social in tercourse, and in consequence become od and appear unsympathetic when they are really the opposite. It Is a v-ery difficult thing to over come these handicaps, but the cultiva tio of good will, of a helpful spirit and kindly feeling towvard ev-erybody will go far to open up the hard exterior so that the soul can express itself.-Suc cess 31agazine.

A native of Spitzbergen and Nova Zem bia, its short, agreeable notes sound doubly sweet wvhen heard in these treeless wastes. The birds build their nests in the mountain clefts or under large rocks, lining them wvith feathers and dow'n. In wvinter time their plumage is warm and abundant and especially fits themt for the rigor of an arctic winter. During the breed ing season and summer they live en tirely on insects, particularly gnats. while in winter they subsist on moss, roots and seeds. Some winters less rigorous than others they are in abun dance, but at times famine compels them to seek a more favorable climate, and they are then seldom found until they invariably reappear toward spring. These buntings are distinguished by a long claw on their hind toe, a struc ture which really enables them to run about with ease on the soft snow. Of the other birds I may mention puffins. divers, loons, dovekies, gulls, skuas, burgom asters, kittiwakes. terns. swans, geese, hawks, eagles and every variety of ducks known to inhablit the northern shores of Amrica and Eu rope, includin;: the scooter, long tal, scaup (duck, merganser .:oosander and raven.

CordaS Prevents PuumOoI DOOR KEYS IN SWEDEN Curious Custom of Hanging Them Outside the Doors. HOUSES LOCKED, YET OPEN. The Dangling Key informs You the Tenants Are Out, but Friends Who Call Are at Liberty to Unlock the Door and Enter and Rest. When the Swedes go calling, they lock up and then hang the door key on the bell or the doorknob or some other 'conspicuous place. When they go visit jng for a few weeks, bolts and bars are slid into place, and then out goes the key. If the house Is shut up for an en tire season or a full year, the gayly swinging door key says "Not atbome" to passersby. There is no kicking your heels on the doormat in Sweden while the bell or knocker awakes the echoes in .n emp ty house. Agents, peddlers, friends and relatives all know this message of the door key and seeing it out pass by. As can be readily imagined, this strange custom has been put to good use in many instances when visitors were not wanted. Instead of telling the maid to inform callers that Mrs. Jones Is not at home the mistress says to Jennie: "Hang out the door key at 3 o'clock this afternoon and bring It in at 5. I d'n't wish to see any one for a few houls." About the first of the month in cer tain districts door keys swing to the breezes in great numbers, and collect ors, knowing the custom and also its misuse, scratch their heads in perplex ity at this not at home signal. Many amusing stories are told of creditors sitting down to await the re turn of their man while the debtor sat or the other side of the locked door and chuckled. There have been in stances where a collector has taken the key, unlocked the door and entered the house to be met by. the owner, who calmly laughed over his ruse. Again a creditor has entered a house in which he supposes the owner to be hiding on 3ly to find it vacant and to be caught by the irate master, arrested and made to pay a fine, while the debtor got an ex tension of time on his bill. These illegitimate uses of this very old custom of not only leaving the latchstring out, but also putting the door key at the disposal of all who pass, are not discovered at first glance, and they are really very much In the minority, for Sweden is pre-eminently an honest land. In and around about Stockholm there is very little need of policemen or strong boxes, for every man, however low down in the social scale, seems to have due respect for another's property. I Although a few of the -more suspi cious, or the foreigners who have not been brought up in this strange cus tom of leaving the door key out, may lock up with bolts from the inside and use another door for exit when they leave home for an extended visit, the old residents actually leave their homes at the disposal of ar.y who may care to enter. Friends who call and find the key out feel at perfect liberty to unlock the door, enter and rest a bit before pass ing on. Strangers seldom misuse the confidence. The custom started ages ago when It was the usual thing for "holy men" or priests to travel th:-ough Swedish vil lages, stopping to leave their blessing on the households of the neighborhood. These visits wer3 looked forward to with eagerness b~y the pious Swedes, and :st was considered an act of gross est discourtesy to bar the door, for whatever reason, against a holy man. Consequently if a family left home the key was always put out against the ar rival of the priest Meat and drink were left, and should the holy man stop at a vacant house he entered, re freshed himself, left his blessing In the form of a candle or a bottle of holy water or a bit of consecrated green and passed. Thus the custom originated, and, although these quaint villages have become towns and traveling priests have passed away and the in fux of other nations has modernized Sweden and brought the evil of theft with it, the door keys still hang out as evidence of trust and open doored hos pitality. A thief seldom takes down one of the keys and enters, for there Is the uncertainty about the absence of the residents s'pken of to hold him back. and the knowledge that an exposed door key may merely mean that the owner has stepped across to the store and will return any minute makes tampering with property risky busi ness. These facts, together with the big ne that Swedes are one of the most honest people on the face of the globe, make a custom safe there which would be a foolhardy tempting of misfortune in our 'land of the free."-Los An geles Times.
