Telling character by the laugh is a popular fad. An authority declares : " There are as many laughs as there are vowels. Children who laugh on A (the broad sound as in father), laugh openly and frankly. The laugh in E (as in fete) is appropriate to melancholy persons. The I (as in machine) is the habitual laugh of naive, slavish, timid, or irresolute persons. The 0 indicates generosity and hardihood. Shun like a pestilence those that laugh in U ; it is the tone of misers and hypocrits. Stout officers are unknown in the United States Army. No man weighing over one hundred and sixty pounds can join a cavalry regiment, while officers in the general services are liable to be retired for obesity. A horse kicked H. S. Shafer, of the Freemyer House, Middleburg, N.Y., on the knee, which laid him up in bed and caused the knee joint to become stiff. A friend recommended him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which he did, and in two days was able to be around. Mr Shafer has recommended it to many others and says it is excellent for any kind of a bruise or sprain. This same remedy is also famous for its cures of rheumatism. For sale by Newman Bros. .
