mu3t laughter die 7 y if if i i i a j 1 i t in tho words of a popular news paper humorist some one la always taking the joy out of life now comes an eminent philosopher a professor in a university to toll us that tho time ia coming- when thohuman race will laugh no more prljnitlvo man ho says did not know enough to laugh jlnce wjt or appreciation ot tho hunir orous involves a considerable amount of intelligence man of the future will know too much to laugh laughter he points out arises either from a eonce of incongruity or of in equality we laugh at what we do not understand or at what we find for tho moment inferior to us hut in the blessed future when mankind is occu pied chiefly in sorlous scientific or social thought there will bo little in equality and m eh wjllltpe wise enough to sec through nnd explain every in congruity already jokes are kept alive only- by professional humorists men and wonlon rarely laugh spontan eously life is too serious a thing to umuso us any longer a discouraging joutlook isnt it still- there are considerations- that brighten it somewhat for one thing the diligent professionally humorist will probably keep laughter allvo dur ing our time at least and since phil osophers notoriously disagree within tholr ownspnofo7 thisparltcular phir- obopher may be quite wrong it will bo difficult to abovsh all tho inequali ties and it is hard to imagine the en- tiro race so far absorbed in sober scientific thought or social- theory as not to be amused at the spectacle ot a stout man chasing his hat through a mud puddle or at the delightful ab surdities of sir john falstac or mr samuel wellor however w6 must confess that we laugh loss easily and less uproariously than tho men of old the greeks hud a myth that jupltor after his birth laughed incessantly for seven days that is the kind or idea which would occur to no one nowadays so much laughter would bo thought undignified no one elnco rabcllos could have im agined it then we are told that calchas the soothsayer that homer know ot died of laughing at so poor a joko as tho unfulfilled prediction of another man they had a childlike capacity for laughing at nothing those old fellows and arohust wluingness to keep oii laughing so long as there was nothing olso to do we cannot help envying them although wo know ho much moro about biology and pay crology and chemistry than they know yes the more wo think about it the more we are inclined to agreo that laughter is less common less spon tancous loss hearty than it used to be and that there i is tin increasing number of people who do not laugh nt all or who laugh raroly that seems to 1o tho prlcowe pay for growing elderly and learned cither as indivi duals or as a race but so long as youth and high spirits or loft in the world together with some tiling ridl culoua lior6 lo ob serve there will always bo a saving ripple of laughter to be heard at any rate we hope so a world quite with out laughter would be intolerable for anyono except philosophers and scien tific thlnkersrandlt would be intol erable for most of them the butcher it onco declared- his in tention of bolng present and taking a share in tho conteat- as ho
