The barometer at o'clock last night, ac-
cording to the Signal Service reports, was
falling along the entire Pacific slope, rapidly
from Tatoosh TO Keller, with northerIy and
easterly winds in Oregon and southerly in
California. The rapidly-falling barometer
is accompanied by decided rise in the
temperature of the air, il being from % to
Ice warmer at o'clock last night than the
same time twenty-four hours preceding.
The lowest barometer is at Cape Mendo-
cino and Sacramento-in fact, it is lower in
northern and central California than any
where else along the coast. a foul-weather
sunset was reported from Tatoosh to Sacra-
mento and San Francisco. The weather is
clear from Fort Candy north, and cloudy
from Portland south to San Francisco and
Sacramento, while fair weather prevails at

Alaskan Wonders

Last summer DR.. w. R. Guness with his
family made a trip to Alaska. 1t proved
to be most delightful excursion, and one
he found that can be easily and cheaply
made, and that is rich in profit to health
and mind. The Doctor has, at a private
meeting Of the Medical Society, described
this trip and the things he saw in Alaska
worth telling, the scenery, the glaciers, the
climate, the people, and great many
other deeply interesting things. The
Doctors graphic account is spoken of so
highly by the few who heard it. that the
Directors of the Museum Association have
prevailed upon him to speak upon the
same subject at the Associations regular
meeting at the Art Gallery tomorrow.
Wednesday, evening. The Association is
to meet at 7:30 sharp, and the Doctor will
begin his recital-and he is a capital
narrator and a cultured observer-at s
o'clock. The public should fill the hall
and encourage the Association in its effort
to enlarge the public intelligence-to say
nothing of listening to recital concerning
that distant section of our common country
and about which there is so much mis-
apprehension. The meeting is free to the
public, being regular monthly assembly.

How Mime. Cavaiarui Liberated Rome.

The event of my life was the part un-
dertook in the liberation Of Rome. One
day while in Rome a young officer be-
longing to Garibaldi's staff called upon
me and asked my aid in melting am in
surrection for the purpose of delivering
the city over to his general. The plans
were made, and the next night the place
of the harlequin in the ballet was filed
by the young officer, who wore rich
green costume. My bodice and skirt
was of bright red. At the conclusion Of
an effective dance fell back upon my
partner in the regular ballet fashion, my
red dress and white skirts resting
against the green costume Of the harle-
quin, thus showing the national colors
which were then prohibited on the stage.
The effect was electrical; and as the cur
tain fell the spectators rushed into the
street in the widest excitement. In a
short time the city was aroused and Carl
baldi entered it in triumph.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Tho Funeral OF Q Rich Celestial.

Hu-Tow-Tai, a great Chinese specu-
lator, and probably the richest merchant
in the empire, died recently at Hang
Chow. His progress through life may
have been as prosy and uninteresting as
that of any other common millionaire,
but his funeral was the loudest and one
of the grandest on record. AT the head
of the procession a number of coolies
trudged along carrying little scraps of
paper upon which short sentences full OF
wisdom and sound advice were traced in
pencil. Then followed crowd of Ian
tern-bearers, the lanterns fastened at
the end of long bamboo canes. About
them came small army Of musicians
with gongs, cimbals and trumpets, max
ing noise enough to scare all the sulphur
and birthstone out of all the wicked
spirits within range. Next came a few
hundred little boys. each holding in his
hand some weapon of strange form in
tended for the slaughter Of cvil-disposed
devils. The bearers of the family tablets
with the narrs of the ancestors Of the
deceased marched after the boys.
Next in the procession affairs on wheels
appeared. loaded with choice fruits. the
the last one bearing the portrait of the
deceased. After these affairs two groups
of priests presented themselves, the first
dressed in white robes, richly en-
broidered. and the second in scarlet and
yellow. Between these two groups there
was a crowd bearing lanterns, flags,
parasols and fans, together with all sorts
of queer things. The master of cere-
monies rode on horseback, and was
dressed from head TO foot in white, the
Chinese mourning. Behind him was
large white tent, carried along by strong
men, and in this their relatives concealed
their woe. At last the coffin came in
sight mounted upon magnificent hearse
ornamented in the most gorgeous style,
and borne along on the shoulders of %
men. A large number of mandarins,
dressed in their official robes, and carried
in Japanese chairs, closed the procession.

A Troupe Of Italian Singers.

A troupe Of Italian opera singers are
about as great an inconsistency as flock
of unframed animals. The reporters for
the press constantly aver that have
financial reason for changing an opera
at the last moment. If it were only
known what dealer in macaroni-eating
singers has to contend with, all this talk
would he stopped. Upon the slightest
pretense prime donne will refuse to ap-
pear, and in figuring what we shall do
we have to select an opera that will not
have in its cast one of the soloists who
has sung the night before. Most of our
best singers refuse to appear twice in sue
cession. and we are compelled to do the
best we can.-Col. Mapleson.

Beware of the Hoo-Dooed Store Rooms.
There is one of the unlucky places of

THAT isn't the only place of the kind /

HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK.
The True Answer to the ouestion-A
series of Co-Ordlinated Movements.

The True Answer to the ouestion-A
series of Co-orlinnted Movements.
How. then, does the mechanism Of the
brain really act: ! believe the true
answer To this question is the one most
fully given by NJ. Ribot and never yet
completely accepted by English psychol-
ogists. 1t acts, for the most part, as a
whole; or, at least, even the simplest idea
or mental act of any sort is a complex OF
processes involving the most enormously
varied brain elements. Instead of dog
being located somewhere in one par
ticular cell of the brain, dog is an idea,
audible, visible, legible, pronounceable.
requiring for different modes of his per-
ception or production the cooperation of
an enormous number of separate cells,
fibers and gangia.
Let us take an illustration from kim
dred case. How clumsy and awkward a
supposition il would be if we were to
imagine there was muscle of dancing,
and muscle Of walking, and a muscle
of rowing, and muscle of cricketing,
and muscle for the special practice of
the noble art of lawn-tennis! Dancing
is not single act; it is a complex series
of co-ordinated movements, implying for
its proper performance the action of al
most all the muscles of the body in diff
ferent proportions, and in relatively
fixed amounts and manners. Even a
waltz is complicated enough; but when
to quadrille or set of lancers, every
body can see at once that the figure con-
sists of SO many steps forward and so
many back; of bow here, and a twirl
there: of hands now extended both to-
gether, and now held out one at a time
in rapid succession, and SO forth,
throughout all the long complicated
series. A quadrille in short, is not a
name for one act, for a single move
ment of single muscle, but for many
acts of the whole organism, all arranged
in a fixed sequence.-Popular Science
Monthly.

Money Lenders Among BabyIoniaus.

The greater part Of the so-called Egibi
tablets are agreements for loans in which
the borrower binds himself to return the
amount together with interest prescribed
in the contract. Some of these contracts
are really statements recording loan,
which were drawn up when payments
became due, in order to levy execution
on the borrower. When Babylonian
wanted to begin business he often bor-
rowed upon his own property SO as to get
the necessary capital. Several tablets
record the agreements Of two parties
mortgaging their houses with the Stated
intention Of creating a capital and Of
starting business.
The system of taxation in Dabylonia
also made money lenders indispensable,
especially to agriculturists, who had to
pay their taxes before harvest, and were
therefore obliged to borrow on their
future crops. Interest was generally,
though not always, paid by the month,
and capital was paid back by INSTALL
ments; the interest was about one-sixtieth
per month, or 20 per cent. per annum.
But what increased the profit of money
lender most was the system, which is
still in use in Asia Minor, of paying taxes
in kind. The agriculturist had to buy
grain when the price was high, and
when the harvest came to realize at a
low price. Hence money lender was
often also corn and grain lender; many
contracts records loans of corn and
money, and the time mentioned for re-
payment isgenerally harvest time.-Con-
temporary Review.

Alteration of the washington Mask.

A sad enough instance of the form
which hero worship took a hundred
years ago may be seen in the bust Of
Houdon, which Mr.. Greenough alludes
to. We have the mask, which precisely
copies Washington's face, which Houdon
made TO work from. Whoever will COM
pare it with Houdon's head will see that
even Houdon, who certainly knew what
a likeness was and what bust should
be, thought it necessary to shave off some
Of Washington's forehead that the head
might conform tn the Bourbon type.
The head in his statue indicates return
toward the receding forehead of the ape,
such as YOU may see in the heads Of
Louis XIV and Louis XVI I suppose
this was the artistic fashion of the day.
With this change, what the phrenolo-
gists call the pe,oeptive organs disappear
from Washington's head. The mask
made suro that they were there as men
saw hirl, and Stuart's portrait shows the
same thin s.-Edward Everett Hale.
