The Influence of Man Upon Climate.

The influence of man upon climate
has been favorlte subject of late
years, and it is now well known that,
by cutting down forests and draining
the soil, men can materially change
the climate of country. Some re-
cent experiments conducted in Ger
many confirm this belief, by showing
the extent to which woods will affect
the rainfall. Two observatories were
established for the purpose of compar-
ison-one over a clump OF tree forty
feet high, and the other over bare,
sandy plain about 800 yards from the
forest. Both observatories were built
at the same height from the ground.
Twelve months observation showed
that of the total rainfall within that
period 10 per cent. more rain fell over
the trees than over the bare sand dis
tant $50 yards from them. Further,
the air above the wood was charged
with aqueous vapor to the extent of
10 per cent. in excess of the air over
the barren open soil. The ground, too,
under the trees, retained far more wa
ter than the exposed earth, evapora-
ton from the surface, thanks to its
shade of trees and moss, being only
one-sixth of that outside their friend
ly shelter. These results are valuable
in that they point out possible means
of proving the condition of sterile
tracts, t. g., by planting trees.

What was he Doing!

Not long ago gay young merchant
who lives at the South-end, told his
elderly wife that he was compelled
from considerations of expediency to
take customer from the country to
the theatre. When his elderly wife
made comments upon the elaborate
nature of his toilet for q rural person
of the male sex, he replied:
20, you see, everything depends
upon impressing that sort of people
favorably." AT this moment the
merchants Office boy made his appear
ance.
"Well," said the deceiving husband
"did you see the gentleman sent you
TOP"
"Yes, sir" replied the messenger.
"And you told him had tickets for
the theatre?"
"Yes, sir; and he said he was much
obliged to you. and he would be hap
py to go with you, and he would wait
for you"
"What was he doing?" said the un-
suspecting wife, carelessly.
He was just fastening the strings
Of his pulltack," answered the inge-
nious youth. He found himself less
than a moment afterwards on the
curbstone, where he listened with a
tweet smile to the shrill sounds of a
woman's voice from within.

The Talmud.

Tryon Edwards, in Scri6ner's Month
Ly says: The Jews, Protestants and
Romanists all agree In receiving as
canonical books ofour Old Testament.
But as the Romanists would add to
these the apocryphal books, so the
Jews insist on adding their oral law.
They say that when the written law
was given to Moses, inscribed on two
tables Of stone, God also gave another
and verbal law explanatory of the first
which he was commanded not to COM
NIT to writing, but to deliver down by
oral tradition. When Moses came
down from the Mount, they tell US
that he first repeated this oral law to
Aaron and his sons, and then to the
seventy, and finally to all the people
each of whom was obliged to repest it
In his hearing to insure its correct re-
memberance. Just before his death,
they say, he spent q month and six
days in repeating 1t to them again /;
and then, they assert, hecommitted it
in special manner to Joshua,
through whom it was impaired to
Phineas, and so on through the long
line of prophets, and afterward Of
teachers, down to the time of Judah
the Holy, who lived in the second
century, by whom it was committed
to writing lest 1t should be lost. This
work consisting of six books, is the
famous Mishna of the Jews, which
with its Gemara, or commentaries,
constitutes their celebrated Talmud
In which is oOmprehended all their
learning and much of their religion as
people. The whole work is held by
them in far higher esteem than the
Bible, so much SO, that they say the
Bible Is water butth Talmud Is wine t;
and they even declare that he who
studies the Bible when he might read
the Talmud does but waste his time /;
and that to sin against the latter is far
worse than to sin against the former.
So implicit is their confidence In this
oral law that it IS almost useless to
reason with Jew out of the Old Tes-
lament for he is ever ready with an
answer from the Talmud, with the
authorityof which he is fully satisfied

The Names of Nails.

The term "four penny" "six pen
ny" .""ten penny" etc., as applied to
nails, means this: -Four penny"
means four pounds to the thousand
nails. "six-peHny" six pounds tO-the
thousand, and so on. It is an old
English term, and meant, at first.
"ten pounds" (the thousand being
understood), but the old Englishman
clipped it to "ten pun" and from that
to "ten puuny," and so on it degener-
ated until penny" was substituted
for pound. So, when you ask for four
penny nails, now-a-day, you want
those a thousand of which will weigh
four pounds; but I'm these degenerat-
ing times we question whether you
will get as many as a thousand in
that weight. When thousand nails
weigh less than one pound they are
called tacks, brads. ETC., and are reck-
oned by the ounces Ito the thousand);
SO you will see "3- OF" 1907" ""l6-oz,"
on papers of tacks.

Milk for Gastric Derangements.

Areriwit In lie Courier Medical, on
the use of milk In hot weather, states
that his attention was directed TO the
subject by noting the value of milk In
dysentery, ulcer of the stomach, and
various acute and chronic grastrO-in-
testinal affections, and he therefore
employed milk IN the treatment OF
these gastric arrangements so fire.
quently induced by high temperature.
In very hot weather small draughts
of milk are found to relieve thirst and
to render unnecessary the drinking
of many fluids, which, though they
may sllay the thirst, are liable to pro-
duce some disorder at the same time.
A case Is cited in which, during the
fearfully hot weather of last summer,
gastric arrangement was produced In
the patient, with great thirst and
cramping IN the bowels laudanum
had been taken without success, but
relief followed the administration of
warm milk-a small cup every quar-
ter of an hourly the next day.

After Death.

Bobert Dale Owen conducted the
funeral services held over the grave of
his wife, with whom he had lived and
deeply loved for forty years. He said
on that occasion:
81 do not believe-and here | speak
also for her whose departure from
among us we mourn today do not
believe more firmly in these trees that
spread their shade over US. In this hill
on which we stand, in those sepul-
chral monuments We see around us
here-than do that human life once
granted, perishes never more.
She believed, as l believe, that the
one life succeeds The other without
interval, save brief transition slum-
Der, 1t may be of a few hours only.
Again, 1 believe. as she did, in
the meeting and recognition OF
friends In heaven. While we mourn
here below, there are joyful reunions
above.

A Fight With a Bald Eagle.

About noon on Saturday, July 7th,
Clarence Carson and younger BROTH
er were bathing In Wood river few
miles north of Kearney. Their ages
are nine and six respectively. Sud-
denly full grown American bald ca
gle, measuring seven feet from tip to
tip of the wings, swooped down upon
the older boy, fastening his talons up
on his breast and his bill upon his
throat. The cries OF the boy brought
the brother to his assistance and the
two finally succeeded In sousing the
royal bird under the water until 1t
was drowned. They dragged the body
to the house Of Captain Honnold, one
and a half miles west of the Chase
sehool-house, and some taxidermist
has now the opportunity of paying
purchase-the bird with its history
Instances illustrating the independ-
ence and daring of this class of eagles
are frequently met with.-Kearney
Press,
