CONSIDERATIONS.

Another summer is just passing be-
low the horizon of the forever-gone
past, and another autumn is manifest
ing its approach in various ways. The
occasional leaf working its wavering
way to the earth foretells that the twi-
light of autumn is about to dawn, and
the mind naturally reverts to Boreal
nights and frosty days, when red-hot
stoves, heat preserving apparel and
cosy rooms will be the most acceptable
and necessary luxuries, when indoor
games and amusements will displace
the wild, free ramblings of midsummer
life. This is a pleasant view, but there
are other considerations which should
engage the human mind at this season
of the year, which are not SO romantic
and fascinating, but are all the more
essential, and must be met. -
1t is we'll known in hygienic circles
that more pulmonary Affections are
contracted at this season of year, when
hot days and chilly nights alternate,
than during the severest weather Of
our rigid winters, simply because We
are not aware of the stealthy approach
of the change, until we have suffered
exposure upon exposure, and the whole
system is disarranged before we be-
come aware that the protection of
warm clothing is among our daily
wants. Warm apparel should be dom
ned in advance of chilly weather.
uncomfortable at midday, it is
the only salvation for many strong con-
stitutions, for the sudden changes, are

Aims of the Study of Anthropology

This subject of ethnography, or the
discrimination and description of race
characteristics is perhaps the most
practically important of the various
branches of anthropology. Its impor-
lance to those who have to rule-and
there are few of us now who are not
called upon to bear our share of the
gOvernment--can scarcely be overesti-
mated in an empire like this, the popu-
latiOn of which is composed of exam
Piles of almost every diversity under
which the human body can manifest
itself. The physical characteristics of
race, so strongly marked in many cas-
es, are probably always associated with
equally or more diverse characteristics
of temper and intellect. In fact, even
when the physical divergences are
weakly shown, as in the case of the
different races which contribute 10
make up the home portion of the en-
pire, the mental and moral character
istics are still most strongly marked.
AS il behoves the wise physician not
only TO study the particular kind of
disease under which his patient is suf-
fering, and then to administer the ap-
proved remedies for such disease, but
also to take into careful account the
peculiar idiosyncrasy and inherited
tendencies 81 the individual, which so
greatly modify bath the course of the

The Chimpanzee's Home.

The traveller, Paul Reichart states
that the sake. or chimpanzee, is ex-
ceedingly abundant on the west coast
of Lake Tanganyika- A band OF from
six to twenty Is usually found near q
village. The adults will attack man
on slight provocation and are feared BY
the natives more than O lion. The av.
erage height of the animal is generally
about four feet three inches, but the
shoulders are very broad. the arms and
thighs muscular and the entire frame
ample and massive. The nest OF the
sake Is a structure Of broken boughs In
q tree, placed some ten feet from the
ground, and looking like the nest OF Q
great bird of prey. The sake sits within
It, not under It, and 1t has no covering
save such Us the foliage of the tree at

This neglect exists among students
and children more commonly than
among other classes, and il should be-
come the individual duty of each
parent and those in care Of students to
admonish those in their charge to avoid
this danger before 1t is too late. To
enhance the risk run by early expo
sure to cold. is the indulgence in the
great variety Of vegetable productions
now extant, which always tends to in
crease the susceptibility Of the system
to chronic diseases, unless such en-
diligence is under careful discretion.
A judicious avoidance of these dang
ers for q few weeks at present will save
many happy homes from an over
shadowing sorrow, and allow many
useful lives to pass this critical period
with its vigor unimpaired.
These should be the points of primary
consideration, yet there are others that
are equally imperative upon the peo-
pie. The wall of the poor will greet
our ear, soon, and much of this from
sources which should not exist, and if
the proper ones will act judiciously
while yet there is time, many needy
ones can pass the rigours Of winter
without material want. But we see
around us every day, those who should
be collecting the necessaries of life for
winter, spending their time in idleness
and their means in foolish and extra
VACANT ways, who will be most loud in
their appeals for charity in q few
months, If, indeed, they do not resort
to the more debasing means of theft or
forgery. There is little occasion for
want among healthy and unnamed
people in our country. Nor are the
more aftluent entirely free from this
responsibility. The fuel, the provision
store, the comforts ofthe home in vari-
GUS ways, and the care for buildings
must all be considered within q few
weeks, if we would spend q comfort.

We trust that many, who would
otherwise suffer, will see to these little
affairs, thus relieving us of the horrors
of suffering, 80 prevalent in all cities
during our long, cold winters.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is The only tratch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
