In Cations recent work treating of
hereditary influence, he holds that there
are certain marked types Of features and
temperament. That the latter are in
herited no one questions; and the
same may therefore be inferred Of the
former. Gallon instances the face of
the combatant, which is square, coarse
and heavily jawed, differing 80 striking
" from that of the ascetic, the voluptu-
ary, the dreamer, and the charlatan.
But still more strongly marked than
these are the typical features and char
acters Of different races Of men. The
Mongolians, Jews, Negroes, Gipsies and
the American Indians severely propagate
their kind; and each kind differ in char
acter and intellect, ms in color and shape,
forming a class of instances worthy of
close investigation, in which peculiarities
of character are invariably transmitted
from the parents to the offspring.

POISON or SCORPIONS.

When Maj. Noah, an ancient editor Of
New York, was Consul of this Govern
ment at Tunis, lie collected many inter-
es.ing facts in natural history. DESTROYS
of asccrtaining just how far scorpion
could I've trusted in gentleman bed,
where they often sccrete themselves in
that part of Africa, he relates the follow
ing experiment:
A fully grown scorpion was placed in
a box with glass cover, into which were
also introduced two mice. Through the
top the spectator saw what at once trans
PRED The scorpion struck one Of the
nice several times with its sting. The
little victim appeared intensely agonized
Immediately and died instantly. The
other mouse evidently was in mortal fear,
but suffered no harm, which led to the
conclusion that some hours are required
for the secretion of venom before the
reptile il in condition to inflict another
blow.
The poison is seldom fatal to men, al

much ruddiness in youth is seldom

He has also broad, arched chest,

his breath for a long time without diff
Guilty. In general, there is a complete
harmony in all his parts. His senses
are good, but not too delicate; his pulse
is slow and regular.
His stomach is excellent, his appetite
is good, and his digestion easy. The
Joys of the table are to him of impor-
lance they tune his mind to serenity,
and his soul partakes in the pleasure
which they communicate. He does not
eat merely for the pleasure of eating,
but each meal is an hour of daily festivi-
ty; kind of delight, attended with this
advantage, in regard to others, that it
does not make him poorer, but richer.
He eats slowly, and has not too much
thirst. Too great thirst is always a sign
of rapid self-consumption.
In general, he is serene, loquacious,
susceptible of joy, love and hope; but
insensible to the impressions of hatred,
anger and avarice. His passions never

he ever gives away to anger, he expert
ences rather useful glow Of warmth,

and banishes all thoughts of to-mOr-

FARMERS are becoming more and more
convinced of the advantage derived in
sowing corn for selling purposes. Dairy
men, especially on clay or sandy soils
easily affected by the drought, realize
the fact of its being superior to almost
any other food for the production of
milk during midsummer.
The California farmers have fallen
into the tolls of wheat spectators and
shipping agents. and they are faring
worse than if their farms had been
visited by drought or food. The
wheat crop this year amounts to S27,-
600, 900. but of this 81, 100000 are abb
sorbed by the combination. and very
little remains to pay the farmer for his
time and labor

RULES FOR PRESERVING FRUIT.

EILEN run FhENLhtfsp Fhetf.
The London Garden gives the follow
ing Is the rules of the Royal Horticul-
,ural Society for the preservation Of
choice fruit:
1 As the flavor Of fruit is sd easily
affected by heterogeneous odors. it is
desirable that apple and pear rooms
should he distinct.
The walls and the floor should be
annually washed with a solution Of quick
silver.
3. The room should be perfectly dry,
with rs uniform temperature as prac-
ticable. and he well ventilated; but there
should not be a through draft.
4. Use the utmost care in gathering
fruit. handling as little as possible.
). For present use fruit should be well
ripened, but for long keeping it is better,
especially with pears, that it should not
have arrived at complete maturity.
The point, however, requires consider
able judgment.
6. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and all more
or less decayed specimens should be re-
moved.
7. If placed ON shelves the fruit should
not be more than two days gathered, and
no straw should be used.
8. Where especially clear and beauti-
full specimens are wanted they may be
packed carefully in dry bran, or in layers
OF perfectly dry cotton wool, either in
closed boxes or in large garden pots.
Scentless sawdast viii answer the same
purposes, bu. pine sawdust is ap. TO COM
municate AN unpleasant taste.
3. With care, early apples may be
kept until Christmas, while many kinds
may be preserved in perfection to a Sec
Ond year.
The rules given by American fruit
growers agree very well with the above,
but make especial mention that fruit
rooms for slow ripening should be nearly
dark, and the temperature low. Light
and heat hasten maturity, and next, of
course, decomposition.

SEED POTATOES.

An old Maine farmer, In giving his
idea on seed potatoes, says that we use
10 ripe seed when We propagate from
:ibers that have lain in the ground until
dead ripe. He says that plants that are
propagated ny tubers require different
treatment from those p-opagated by
seeds. Our com and grains that We
use for seed we like TO have
stand little longer than the
main crop. and become perfectly ma
turcd. On the same principle our corn
is selected from the ripest, best-developed
cars and kernels. But potatoes for seed
should be Ding and placed in cool, dark
cellar. Just as soon as majority of them
viii slightly crack open in boiling. This
is most invariably while the tops are yet
green and growing fast. The tubers are
tl:en in most vigorous state. Disconncct
them from the parent stalk at that time
AID they retain their vigor. Instead of
ieteriora..rg, as most of rs know the
older sorts have, their vitality is in
creased. and they yield better, with less
tendency to rot. As long ago as 1915,
and subsequently, observations led him
20 make some experiments TO test the
theory, and he finds il the proper course
70 pursue.
Is it not often said that the late plant
ted potatoes are better for seed than
those planted early? The lateness of
their planting, presumably, pre-
vents early ripening, hence the pr;n-
ciple Of the above reasoning would be
IN force.

QUEER LITIGATION,

It took several years Of costly litiga-
ton to obtain from the Supreme Court
of Vermont decision to this effect |:
That Mrs. Drew, who cut some grass
on the public highway in order that her
children might have path by which
they could get to and from school with
out getting their clothes wet, committed
no crime; but that, as Mrs. Drew fed
nire pounds Of this grass to her hus-
bands horse, she committed trespass,
fof which she was responsible to the
State of Vermont.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.

From a peck of seed dropped and COW
cred in the gaps of corn-field, dairy of
nine cows have been kept to summer
milking and the quality of the butter is
super-excellent, and six heifer calves
raised from the above as fat as moles.
The cows are fatter, too, than majority
of the cattle slaughtered These cows
have been making about six pounds of
butter per week, besides supplying new
r,ilk and cream for gentleman's house
with sixteen inmates. The pumpkins
are chopped up in the managers with a
spade. morning, noon, and night, about
half bushel each time when cut into
pieces They ca. while being MIXED
morning and night, and they come To the
yard and 60 into the stable for half an
hour at noon. Beets, carrots, and some
other roots and small ears of corn will
follow, 50 As to keep up the milk during
winter.

GgEyy FOOD FOR FOWLS

Mr.. Wright, in his book on poultry,
thus talks of the Importance of green
food to poultry that is confined The
last requisite in the shape of diet is a
regular supply Of green food. Here,
again, fowls kept on grass will need no
attention but for birds penned mp the
daily provision Of it is an absolute ne
cessity, though most beginners are ig
norant Of il. We well remember in
our early experiences how our fowls
died, we could not at first tell why; and
one fine Buff Cochin cock, whose only
farlt was a strong vultnre hook, was in
particular greatly regretted. An expert
enced friend let MS into the secret. and
after that we had no difficulty in keeping
fowls, even where it is often said they
cannot he kept in health, viz: in a yard
paved with large fiag-stones. The best
substitute for natural grass is a large,
fresh turf, thrown in daily, to each four
o. five hens; and even in towns it is often
possible to procure this by giving chill
dren few pence every week to keep up
aregular supply. Where turf is not al
lowed to be taken grass may be cut or
pulled, but in this case must be cut into
green chaff with shears or a chaff ma
chine. The latter plan is how we actually
managed for years in yard only sixty
seven by thirty-five feet, divided into six
pens, paying some child few pence to
bring fresh-cut grass daily, cutting it up
and mixing j. with their soft meat.

POLAR REGIONS.

Intensely cold, stormy, and ice-bound
as all nature is ut the Arctic Circle, there
are evidences in multiplied forms to
prove that the climate in those inhospita-
BILE abodes OF the white bear and walrus
was once as mild, warm, and delightful
as the island Of Cuba.
Vegetable productions of the soil so
ancient we have no data to reckon from
are abundant. These grew luxuriantly
where it is almost impossible to sustain
either plants or animals with all the APP
pliances of art, and from their structure
are particularly fitted for a tropical
climate. This statement requires no
proof, since the archives of geology
verify them by preserved specimens in
the rocks, the land and caverns of the
frozen North.
What forces produced the change from
n mild to terrific region of storms in
their most ftful exhibitions of resistless
fury? The polarity of the earth must
have been suddenly changed.
