Among the most efficacious tonics which can be taken at this season (or any other) are laughter and yawning. Both of these medicines will yield you better returns than anything that comes bottled up and labeled. Of course by laughter is meant the right sort, the spontaneous, sincere, hearty laugh that comes straight from the heart and is impelled by a sense of humor. On the contrary, the laugh which is the outcome of sarcasm jars the nerves of the person laughing. Then the giggle. Naturally enough that is detrimental In about the same ratio as the real laugh is beneficial, for beside being meaningless and betraying embarrassment, it reacts on the nerves of the giggler, not to mention those of the listener. ' The loud, boisterous laugh, too, is a nerve-wrecking thing for all within hearing. But it is the gentle, sympa thetic laugh that has a beneficial ef fect on the one laughing and the list ener. As for yawning—take a good, deep breath, open your mouth to yawn—it is merely an exaggerated form of deep breathing with its attendant benefits. The lungs are strengthened, they grad ually become capable of greater ex pansion and finally are able to offer supreme resistance to colds and chills. Yes, laughter and yawning are good tonics, and there being no patent on them, they are yours for the taking. PINNING OFF ONION SMART. I have been putting up preserves and pickles for thirty years,” said a Brooklyn housewife of the old school, according to a New York paper, “and I discovered the other day that I am not too old to learn something new. I went to New Jersey to see my son’s young wife, an lowa girl. They were married last winter. She was putting up onions—a decidedly disagreeable task. But her eyes were not watery. They were as clear as the sky. She simply nodded and muttered something between her closed teeth. "What in the world are you keep ing that pin between your teeth for?” I asked. "She removed it long enough to say: 'To keep the onions from hurting my eyes. I’ll be through in a minute.’ “ 'Do you mean to say that will do it?’ I asked incredulously. “She nodded. The pin was in its place again. She kept it there for ten minutes while I watched her work, and her eyes were as dry as a walnut." HER MANY WAISTCOATS. No dandy of old Prance ever had more or fancier waistcoats than the up-to-date girl. They are sewed into the coat of her tailor-made costume and are only infinitesimal affairs. It is vary easy to have a number of these waistcoats and to make them so that they can be quickly hooked or basted into your coat. For instance, a girl, who has but one tailored suit, a broad cloth gown of seal brown, might wear with it for morning shopping tours a waistcoat of white pique and a small brown toque; for Calling, a violet vel vet vest and a violet toque; for more dressy occasions, a waistcoat of yellow brocaded satin to correspond with a white hat and a yellow plume, and for the theater in the evening an elaborate vest of white satin embroidered in gold and edged with a fall of accor dion pleated chiffon.

Ocala, Fla., Nov. 30.—News has Just been received here of the marriago in Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 28, of Mr. Clif ford L. Anderson to Miss Eula Lee Izlar. Mr. Anderson Is the oldest son of Hon.

HOW stTandrew’s day WAS KEPT IN CHURCHES. Roman Catholic* and Episcopalians Held Service*. Yesterday was St. Andrew’s Day and special services were held in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches. As the first of .the apostles called by Christ and as one whose life and teachings set a high example to Chris tians of all ages, St. Andrew Is an important character to the church. At the Church of the Sacred Heart, at the Cathedral of St. John the Bap tist, and at St. Patrick's Church, the usual morning masses were celebrated. In some of the churches the rectors made special remarks on the day and the character of St. Andrew. Special services were held at 10 o’clock In Bt. John’s Episcopal Church, conducted by the rector, Rev. Charles H. Strong. In Christ Church, serv ices were also held, conducted by the rector, Rev. Robb White. Rev. Gil bert A. Ottmann, rector of St. Paul’s Church, conducted the services there. Holy communion was administered In ail of the Episcopal churches. MARRIAGE LICENSES^”i HAVE FALLEN AWAY. Only eighty-four marriage Ilncenses were granted from the Chatham Court of Ordinary during the month of No vember. Of this number twenty-one were to whites and sixty-three to ne groes. A peculiar fact is that during the month of November of last year there were also eighty-four licenses grunted. Of that number twenty-eight were to whites and fifty-six to ne groes. As far as the year is concerned there is a fulling off for 1904. From Jan. 1 to Nov. 80, 1904, there were 828 mar riage licenses granted. During the same length of time In 1903 the total wan 872. Thus there has been a falling off In the marriage license market for this year of forty-four. The greatest fall ing off is among the whites, the num ber of colored licenses being practi cally the same as last.

If Law Allowed It, He Would Give Pension to Every Loyal Soldier. As nn Old Soldier He Feels for mid Sympathises With Them and Appreciates to the Full the Sac rifices They Made—The Benulre ment of the Lan Must He Lived Is to. A letter has been received by Clerk Joseph Molina of the Fourt of Ordi nary from Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsey explaining his attitude in the matter of the pension application of Veteran Dewitt Bruyn. Commissioner Lindsey w'as put par tially in a false light, though unin tentionally. Several thought he did not feei all the pathos that was in the cat? of the homeless and friendless ve eian. Some charged he could have overlooked little discrepancies in the application and he need not have turn ed it down on a technicality. The let ter of the commissioner corrects these errors, and shows conclusively he de clined to grant the application only be cause It did not come up to the re quirements of the pension laws. “When I said I was sorry for the poor fellow," writes Commissioner Lindsey, "I felt it as one crippled old soldier feels for another, placed in the unfortunate condition of Mr. Bruyn, entirely alone, with no com rade to tell of his service and his dis charge. "When It comes to sympathy for and reaching out in every way possible to aid and serve a true Confederate sol dier, I have always been ready to re spond to Ills needs to the utmost. As 1 repress these sentiments I feel the pa.ns received from the wounds when, but a boy, forty years ago, I followed the Southern Cross directed by the great Lee. Was Munition of law, "But as an officer of the state It Is the cold letter of the law that I have sworn to see complied with and to obey. That requires of every appli cant for the Georgia pension that he state clearly the company and regi ment in which he served, giving date of enlistment and discharge, and that he prove his statements to be true as made by as many as one witness, who knows It all to be true. "Had it been left to my feelings and desires Cap. Bruyn would have been put on the roll without hesitation. I would be glad if every Confederate soldier who served his country faith fully could receive from the state a pension. My feelings are always with the old soldiers and always will be. Bent Soldier* to History. "The case of Capt. Bruyn, with the beautiful tribute paid to a true and loyal Confederate by the good people of Savannah, is not the first that has touched my heart. I served for four years with the best soldiers the world ever saw, serving under the great Gen. Lee, and I know full well how to feel for and appreciate them and their services, and how to sympathize with them in their misfortune. I felt this way long before your Morning News spoke for Capt. Bruyn. My loyalty to them has never been questioned, and my loyalty to the law has never been doubted. I am sorry for every poor fellow that fails to make out his claim.” The information furnished (by Savan nah veterans and by the Daughters of the Confederacy will foe drawn up In proper form and placed on record with the application. All that Is yet needed to make the granting of the applica tion certain Is to find one witness Who knows of Capt. Bruyn’s discharge. Ef forts are now foeing made to find such an one and every man on the roil of the regiment in which he served will be written to, in the hope that some one of them tp ay be found who will rememher the fold soldier and when he was discharged.
