Appeal fttronnir to th* iona* Of th? HldlcMlontj. Nothing bas added tuor? to tito morrl* meat of tile world than thc uninten tional, uucousclous humor of writer?, public speakers n-.nl, IQ fact, all classes and conditions of min and women. And there ls none so delightful. It far exceeds lu mirth provoking quality the cold blooded humor of the professional wits. We AmerlcnuB nre a fun loving peo ple, uud wo must and will have our Milty. Some one has said with cor am truth: "With ult our vanity, ener by und unrest, we are uot a dull, cheer less people. Sour faced fellows, yellow ind dyspeptic, are to be met with In Sur cars and on our streots, but they ire not the type of tho American, for ie ls ns ready for a luugh as for a speculation, aa fond of a joke as au oUlee." And tho joke I? nil tho more enjoy able when it is spontaneous. The great er the stress and strain of life the grenier the need and demand for hu mor, und no one depreca tea the value of humor excepting those who have noue of this good gift to their portion. "Sunset" Cox, one of the wittiest men of his day, s Ayn lu his book, "Why We Laugh:" ."Eliminate from the litera ture uni] v&tduct of any one people tho a ni using ?nd. the amused faculty, ?ad you produce ti sterility as dull and un interesting us the cinders and .Ash?? pf the volcanic acids of iceland. But In clude thc amusing element within ibo experience and history of- mankind, and no description of luxuriance, with grape, olive, nectarine and orange, such as makea the vales of Portugal a peren nial smile, la adequate to emphasize the ?contrast." One could not well instance ? more II musing blunder than that lu a paint ing of the "HIcsBcd Virgin" in an old church In Spain. In this painting tho Virgin ls represented us sitting ou a red velvet nora fondling a cat with one band, while with tba other she ls pour ing coffee from a silver coffeepot. . This lu a? amusing as a painting In a Ccrtnnu church representing the sacri fice of Isuuo by Abraham. In tnt? painting Abraham ls about to dis charge u huge pistol at Isaac when an angel descends and pours a pitcher of water on the pan of the pistol, thereby saving Isaac. ; Tho writer once BOW n crudo painting of King Herod with a pair of specta cles painted on lils nose.

Those who are on the lookout for them will Und many amusing blunders In the dally papers and in periodical? of all kinds. It was but thc other day that the writer saw Miss Fanny Cros by referred to In a religious paper as thu "author of BO ninny blind poems." And lt was a great metropolitan daily that one morning gave Its reader? th? following information regarding tho wrecking of a ship the night before: "Thc captain Hwam ashore and suc ceeded in saving the life of his ?If? ,.,, . .) -.........>;i :.

It was an enterprising fur rier who placed a card In his window stating that for tho benefit of the la dles bo would mako "muffs, boas, etc., out of their own skins." A prolific sourco of amusement to manuscript rendors ls tho surprising way lu which aspirants for literary honor and glory often "put things." We find one young woman saying of ber heroine: "The countoss fell back in a deadly swoon. When she revived her spirit had fled." Another young writer places her her oine in a very perilous situation and then says of her, "Her Hps quivered; hor cheeks grew pale; her breath cam? In short pants." A third writer gives tlds amusing description of tho appearance of som? ono she referred to as. "the bell of the ball:" "Bbc was clad In some soft, clinging, fleecy, vapory stuff of purest white that gave the appearance of a blt of detached cloud floating in th? sky. She woro no ornament with th? exception of eoverftl bits of raro bric a-brac gathered in a foreign olime," A charming blt of purely unconscious humor was that noticed by som? vis itors to a great English coal min?. Af the mouth of the great central shaft hundreds of feet deep was a placard hearing th?se worda* ''Pleats do not tumbi? down th? shaft"-Detroit Free Press. M*rU?t Hat?.

On ono occasion, rising tuddeuly through n stratum of clouds 10.000 feet tn the air into brllllunt sunshine, the gas dilated. I let out a little l>own wo dropped Into a eold air current. The Immediate condensation of tho gos dropped na back Into the cloud layer, which Condensed tho gan atm moro and accelerated the drop. Wo carno out directly above a stretch of wood? over which loy another cool bolt. By this timo wo wore falling Uko a rock. We were going HO fast that the bngfuls of sand we threw out went up Instead of down. Hastily we threw ort the drag rope, tho anchor, the lunch basket -to llttlo purpose. We struck tho trees with a terri (lc crash, but escaped, how ever, with nothing worse thau a shak ing up and a few bruises. The most exciting trip I ever mad?* was a record bro?kin? voyage that bo gan one Sunday evening. Tho weather was not propitious, but we cost off. Wo sailed across the Hudson river to New Jersey and plunged Into a cloud. After traveling twenty miles I descend ed to drop u note to my wife, assuring her of our safety, Again we shot Into H cloud, Presently wo drifted over n village and, with that exaltation that accompanies the sensatlou of Moating tn the air, enjoyed to a strange degree thc music of church bells drifting up from below. Hcfore we were aware we plunged Into the midst of a hugo approaching thunder cloud. It seemed to open and swallow us Into a pit of gloom ami simultaneously Into the heart of the wildest thunderstorm I think I have ever aoeu. Tho clouds rolled and tossed and twisted. The balloon would now he forced down, then tossed up and again spun swiftly about like a top. We lost all sonso of j direction. Thunder was crashing and rolling and crackling all around us. Lightning Hashed, not lu forked zig zags, hut lu great Hushes of Ure, It was frightful, Wo did not want to de scend, btu presently we heard tho un mistakable sound of water not far away. Letting out a little gas, wo shot downward. Faster we dropped and faster. Lund was below us. The prob lem was to land In the high wind with out damage, l let out moro gas. We landed in a treetop with a jar that fix ed the basket so firmly In a crotch that lt could not be dislodged by the wind, for now we had dropped below tho storm.'-World's Work. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Carelessness ls tho great sin of moat people. If o mun doesn't acquire a little sonso with age he cheats himself. If a mau owns a pocketknife lt ls hard for him to pass a grindstone. Bay what you please about moral courage, tho man who hus u lot of it ls mighty unpopular. Make the stories you tell on a rainy day as short as possible, especially if you tell them under nu umbrella.
