Light and the Complexion.

The action 81 light on the human skin
is manifest. It browns and tans the tegu-
ments, by calling out the production of
the coloring matters they contain. The
parts of the body usually bare. as the skin
of the face and hands, are darker than
others. In the same region, country
people are more tanned than city resid-
ents. In ATTITUDES not far apart, the in
habitants of the same country vary in
complexion in measure preceptibly re-
lated to the intensity of solar light. In
Europe three varieties of color in the skin
are distinctly marked; olive-brown, with
black hair, beard and eyes; chestnut, with
tawny beard and blush eyes; blonde,
with fair, light beard and sky-blue eyes.
White skins show more readily altera-
tions occasioned by light and heat; but,
though less striking, facts of variation in
color are observable in others. The Scy-
tho-Arabic race has but half its represen-
tatives in Europe and Central Asia, while
the remainder passes down to the Indian
Ocean, continuing to show the gradual
rising heat of climate by deepening brown
compilations. The Himalayan Hindoos
are almost white; those of the Deccan, of
Coromandel, Malabar and Ceylon are
darker than some negro tribes. The
Arabs, olive and almost fair in Armenia
and Syria, are deep brown in Yemen and
Muscat. The Egyptians, as we go from
the mouths of the Nile up stream to-
ward its source, present an ascending
chromatic scale, from white to black, and
the same is true of the Tuariks on the
southern side of Mount Atlas, who are
only light olive, while their brethren in
the interior of Africa are black. The an
cient monuments of Egypt show us a fact
equally significant. The men are always
depicted of reddish brown; they lived
in the open air, while the women, kept
shut up, have pale, yellow complexion.
Barrow asserts that the Mantchoo Tartars
have grown whittier during their abode in
China. Remusat, Pallas and Gutzlaf
speak of the Chinese women as remarka-
BILE for European fairness. The jew
esses of Cairo or Syria, always hidden
under wells or in their houses, have
pallid, dead color. In the yellow races
of the Sumatra Sound and the Maldives,
the women, always covered up, are pale
like wax. We know, too, that the Esqui-
maux bleach during their long winter.
These phenomena. no doubt, are the re-
suits of several influences arising at once,
and light does not play the sole part in
them. Heat and other conditions of the
medium probably have share in these
operations of color Still, the peculiar
and powerful effect of luminous radiation
as part of them is beyond a dispute

THE matrimonial agency business must
| involve more than an ordinary amount of
risk owing to the likelihood that custom
ers will be dissatisfied with the commodi-
| ty furnished and refuse to pay their fees.
A man in Jersey City promised a Mrs.
Percles fifty dollars to secure him a wife.
She did so and be gave her a check for
twenty-five dollars n part payment, but
when he became better acquainted with
the wife that was furnished him he got
possession of that check and tore it up.
Mrs. Percles brought suit for her fees, but
did not get them.
THE Denver Times says: Mr.. J. T.
Morgan, while out hunting on the head of
the Republican, killed white buffalo, the
hide of which he brought to Denver, and
is having it stuffed and mounted. This is
the first instance ola white buffalo having
been shot by white man, so far as we
have ever heard, though the Indians have
occasionally found one. Mr.. Morgan has
been constantly engaged in hunting for
several years, and this is the first white
buffalo he ever saw or ever heard of dur
ing that time. The buffalo is a yearling,
and perfectly white-no colored spots APP
pearing upon him. Mr.. Morgan has been
offered 5000 for it since he arrived here.
WE don't know whether ten cents DAM
ages are considered large in Connecticut,
but in this case it doesn't make much diff
ference. In Hartford the great suit of
Brown gs. Rood has just been decided. 1t
must have been something of case, for it
took three days to try it. Brown sued
Rood for malicious prosecution" and de
clared on two counts: l. That Rood had
prosecuted him maliciously in civil suit;
g. That he had done the same wicked
thing in criminal case. The jury went
out, and having thought over the matter
came back and upon their oaths declared
that Brown ought to pay Rood ten cents,
and that Rood ought to pay Brown ten
cents. If that wasn't an equitable verdict
we should like to know what would have
been.-Neao York Tribune
A BARREL FULL OF MoNEY.-A well
known Chicago commission merchant
chant, while on visit to this city, some
time since, advised some of his customers
that it was a good time to invest in corn,
and that by such an investment, at the then
prices, in his language "a barrel ofemoney
could be made" The advice was taken,
and a hundred thousand or so bushels of
corn purchased by several gentlemen. AS
time rolled ON the hopes of an advance
grew daily fainter, and at last the down
ward tendency showed the certain pros
pect of loss. On Saturday, meeting of
the victims was held, and, after consulta-
ton, an empty flour barrel was procured
and sent to the aforesaid commission mer-
chant, with the request that he would fill
it with greenbacks, and return. He has
not yet been heard from, but it is supposed
that hetwill comply with the request, as
he is in duty bound to do so.-Lgfaytte

VINEGAR BITTERs the sale of all the burn
ing fluids advertised as 'tonics" has been
rapidly declining. They are still the un-
wholesome solace of individuals who wish
to satisfy morbid appetite for strong

spectability; but the sick are everywhere
discarding them, and adopting the VINE

gave it to the world, that it was an I'M

urged against the medicated fire-waters

other powerful alkaloids employed in
modern practice; but he scarcely expect

Yet this, unless thousands of witnesses

The friend who is helping us in this
work is very small parasitic fly, KNOWN
to entomologists as Rermalsts aupa7ttna,
and is so minute that a hundred of its
Larvae can find sufficient sustenance in q
single chrysalis of the cabbage worm
named above. Notmore than one species
out of every hundred of our common
insects do us any harm, therefore it is
sin, if nothing more, to kill indiscrimin-
ately friends and foes. The Colorado
potato beetle is making its way rapidly
toward the Atlantic States, and we shall
soon see it upon the fields about New
York and other Eastarn cities. But it has
met many enemies already, and probably
others will be discovered as it advan ces,
among the very insects which we have
been accustomed to look upon as useless,
if not positively injurious to vegetation;
and these minute friends will no doubt do
more for us in checking this terrible pest
of the potato than we can do ourselves.
The lady birds help us to rid our trees
and plants of the greenfiy (ApltS), and the
Tachina fly attacks the larva of the spot
ted squash beetle (Epdachno Borealis); the
Calos0mds help US to destroy the cut
worms, while the tiger beetles prey indis-
criminately upon the various kinds of
flies. With these and many similar ex-
amples before US, is it not strange that so
little attention is paid to the subject?
While the annual loss to the country
through the depredations of insects
amounts to many millions Of dollars,
only three States have as yet thought it
necessary to appoint an entomologist to
gather and disseminate the requisite infor-
nation to prevent this immense waste of
property. 1t is high time that our people
awoke to the importance OF this subject.
Let them begin by introducing the study
of practical entomology into the common
schools, so that the next generation of
farmers and gardeners may be superior in
point of knowledge relating to the insect
world to those of the present.-Neac York

-Felon on the Finger.-Many persons
are liable TO extreme suffering from
felons on the finger. These Affections
not unfrequently occasion permanent
Gripping of the members affected. The
following simple prescription is recon-

ment: Take common rock salt, such as
is used for sailing down pork or beef; dry
1t in an oven, then pound it fine and mix
with spirits of turpentine, in equal parts.
Put it in rag and wrap it around the
parts affected, and as it gets dry, put on
more; and in twenty-four hours you are
cured-tbe felon will be dead. 1t will do
no harm to try it.
Sure Cure for Neuralgia.-A friend

neuralgia, hearing of noted physician

~ cured after a short sojourn, and the
doctor freely gave him the simple remedy
used, which was nothing but poult1ce
and tea made from our common field
thistle. The leaves are macerated and
used on the parts afflicted, as q poultice,
while small quantity of the leaves are
boiled down to the proportion of a quart
to pint, and small wine-glass OF the
decoction drank before each meal. Our
friend says he has never known it TO fail
of giving relief, while in almost every
case it has effected cure.-Erctange.

with former years, but instead of that amount
the figures show that the decrease is only $780,
