1NE1 UENoE OF MAN ON CLIMATE.

The London Evening Standard OBJ
serves: "The influence of man upon
climate has been a favorite subject of
late years, and it has been demonstrated
that, by cuttingdown forests and drain
ing the soil, man a materially change
the climate of a country, sometimes to
his advantage and sometimes to his det-
riment. Some recent experiments have
shown the extent to which woodsoyill
affect the rainfall. We read in Bieder-
mann's Centralblatt that the most recent
experiments have been undertaken to as
certain to what extent the rainfall may
be affected by frs and pines. Two OBJ
servatories were established for purposes
of comparison-the one over q clump OF
pinus ~sylvestris some forty feet high,
and the other e a bare sandy plain
three hundred metres (three hundred
and twenty-eight yards) distant from the
wood. and at the same height above the
level of the ground. Twelve months
observations showed that of the total
rainfall within that period, ten per cent.
more fell over the trees than over the
bare sand three hundred metres distant
from them. This result is regardeda as all
the more surprising since experimental ola
precisely similar nature in the caseof OAK
and beech woods had given an excess Of
FIVE per cent. only in fayorof the wooded
site of observation. Further, the mean
state of saturation of the air over the
wood was found to be ten per cent. high
er than Of that over the bare expanse O
sand. the former holding much more
water in solution than the latter. The
ground, too, under the trees retained fa'
more water than the exposed earth, the
evaporation from the a~orface, thanksJte
it's shade Of trees and moss, being only
one-sixth Of that outside their friendly
shelter. The moral of all this seems te
be that we should plant pine and III
forests in sandy and chaIky districts, moi
only to encourage the water to cons
down, but to keep it in position when !
has fallen, and to assist to Preyen'
foods"

BOZ.

The great mistake of the labor system
in the past has been that muscle has been
the chief requisite sought after in the Sc
lection of help upon the farm, both north
and south.
Experiments that are continually be-
ing tried in the south prove conclusively
that an intelligent laborer, possessing the
same amount of good health, muscle, en-
durance and willingness as al ignorant
one, is worth twice or three times as
much to his employer as the latter one.
The south is fast learning this lesson.
Still this country is crowded with this
class of ignorant labor, which stands d.
rectly in the way of the Introduction Of
a better labor system. This state of
things, too, makes it difficult for the
honest, willing and hard working poor
man of the north to get a start in the
south.
If hi comes here without the means of
purchasing fifty to one hundred acres OF
land that can be had for from So to $15
per acre, according to the location and
excellence-often mostly on time-he
will find it a severe struggle to get
started and become self-sustaining; but
if he has only a few hundred dollars he
can get a good start, and can utilize all
the labor he desires, and become indie
pendent, if he has the brains and intelli-
gence to direct this labor.
The south, too, is looking at honest la
Dor in a different light from what she
formerly did. There are thousands who
never, before the war, put their own
hands to farm and mechanical labor that
are Now among our best farmers and ar
tizans, and are not ashamed of their avo-
cations.
We should do all in our power to draw
among us intelligent and skilled laborers.
In this genial climate, where outdoor
work goes on uninterruptedly the year
around, this class will soon become
wealthy, and they are ever ready to help
build up institutions as will attract
those who still hesitate in the north, al
though they greatly prefer our climate.
In every instance, without an excep-
ton, in which northern people have come
south and gone back, the expression has
been: 81 am perfectly well pleased
with the climate, but l miss so many
other things that I cal not consent to do
without"
They do not stop to consider that they
would become dissatisfied from the same
cause, let them go among strangers, in
any country. Those who settle down
here, to stay, and go to work to help
build up the Institutions the3 love, al
most invariably are oontented and salts
fed.
Let those who come south, and witt
are strenuous upon the matter of society
come as much as possible m large num-
bers, or settle in those sections where
northern people are locating. There
are a number of such settlements started
-S0utbern Industries.

HISTORY OF A PICTURE.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the same
city. One delighted in delineating beauty
in all its graces of tint, form, and motion.
His portraits were instinct with the charm of
physical vigor. The graceful, half-voluptu-
Gus outline of form and feature harmonized
with delicately blended tints. On his can
vas, the homeliest faces had an almost ire
sistible charm. The other found pleasure
only in depicting weird and gloomy subjects.
Above all, did he excel in painting the por-
traits of the dying. The agonizing death
thrOe, the CHASTITY face and form, were all
depicted with marvellous fidelity. There
existed between these artists the most in
tense dislike. At length this dislike cul-
minated. The beauty-loving artist had been
engaged in painting the portrait of a beauti-
full woman. Connoisseurs pronounced it the
most wonderful piece of art that had ever
been produced. His brother artist was jeal-
Gus of his fame and sought revenge. By
brlbing the keeper of the studio he gained
access to the picture each night. At first he
was content to only deaden the brillianey Of
the complexion and eyes, efface the bloom
from cheek and lip and paint a shadow on
either cheek. Later, his strokes grew holder
and freer, and one morning the artist awoke
to find the entire outline of the portrait
changed. He could scarcely recognize in
the emaciated form and haggard counten-
ance the glowing conception he had en-
bodied. The pallid face and expressionless
eyes he had attributed to q lack of genuine
ness in his materials; but when the outlines
were changed he suspected the cause and
Indignantly dismissed the keeper. What
the r%evengeful artist marred by a few rapid
strokes Of his skillful brush was only re-
stored by years of patient industry. Reader,
need we name the artists, Health, who
paints the flowers and GRASSY carpet" no
less than the human form diyine,-Disease,
the dreaded artist who revels among the
ruins both of nature and humanity,-and
Carelessness, the keeper to whom Health
often intrusts his portraits. And is it not
the beauty of woman, the most admired of
all the works which adorn the studio of
Health, that Disease oftenest seeks to mar
The slightest stroke of his hush upon the
delicate organization leaves an imprint that
requires much skill and patience to eftace.
Restoration must be prompt. Carelessness
must be dismissed. Let suffering women
heed the warning ere Disease has marred
their chief beauty-Health-beyond repara'
ton. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
been used by thousands of these sufferers
and they are unanimous in the praise of its
excellence. If you would be transformed
from the pallid, nervous invalid into a happy
vigorous woman, try it.

heart as tender as eve beat, and john.
heart, when yeu came close to him, was
anything but tender, yet they were both
saints, for all that. Erasmus was the
most fascinating man ofhis day; Luther,
to look at, one of the best. Goldsmith
was a pulp of rare sweetness almost to
the core; Johnson had a goodness IN
speakably different, but quite as good, in

that ever was seen.
