The Mora, influence of Climate.

Felix NJ. Oswald, in Popular science Monthly.
Since the revival of naturalism the tendencies
of educational reform make it probable that the
progress of moral philosophy will become iden-
tilted with the developement of n science,
thus far only outlined in few incidental treati-
ses on the interaction of body and mind. The
possibilities of the science ara suggestively in
dictated by the results of the statistical studies
devoted to one OF its oranches-the moral in
huence Of climate. Modern French scientists
are nothing if not methodical and have repeat
eddy called attention to the curious regularity
in the geographical distribution of certain vices
and virtues; intemperanee, for instance. north
OF the forty-eighth parallel; sexual alterations
south of the forty-ffth; financial extravaganza
in large seaport towns; thrift in pastoral high
land regions. 1t is. indeed, remarkable cir
cumstance that in the home of the best wine
grapes, in Greece and southern Spain. drunken
ness is far less prevalent than in Scotland, in
Russian Poland, where Bacchus tempt his
votaries only with nauseous vodka The idea
that a low temperature begets an instructive
craving for alcoholic tonics seems disproyed by
the teetotasm of the Patsgonian savaees. who
horsewhip every Spanish stimnlant-mongeE
without benefit of clergy. The Lesghian mount
aineers, too observe the interdict OF the Koran
in the icy summit regions of the Caucasus; but
there is no doubt that the bracine influence of
cold climate affords a certain degree of immun-
ity from the debilitating effect of the alcohol
vice, and that a Scandinavian peasant can for
years survive the effects of daily dose OF
alcohol that would kill an Egyptian fellah in q
single month.

THE EMpERoR's WORK.
What Frederick III Was Required To Do In
liz


His Youth.
Max Muller, in Contemporary Review. sns
It would. however, be q mistake to imagine
that the years of his manhood have been passed
in iGleness. Good care Is taken in Prussia that
one, not even the heir to the crown, should
enjoy sinecure. It required hard work for the
Crown Prince to make himself soldier, such as
he has proved himself in two wars. but he never
hinched from these military duties. whether
they we're congenial to him not Then came
his social duties. his constant visits to foreign
courts his representative functions every
great occasion in Germany or in Prussia Ands
besides these public duties, he made plenty OF
work for himself in which, helped aud inspired
by the Crown Princess, he could more freely
follow the natural bent of his mind and his
heart. The pupil of Professor Curtius, he pre-
served through life warm interest in historical
and archaeological researches.
When he was able to help be was ready to do
80, and a limited sphere of independents action
was at last given him, as the patron OF all mu-
seums and collections OF works of art in Prussia.
The conscientious discharge of these duties
often under considerable difficulties has borne
ample fruit and will not easily be forgotten by
those who worked under him. And, as the
Crown Princess assisted him, so he was able to
support the Crown Princess in her indefatigable
endeavors to improve the education of women
the nursing of the Door, the sanitary state of
dwellings, and In many other social reforms
which were far from popular swhen they were
first started in Prussia by an Englishwomau.
Only IN political questions which were so near
had often to be kept concealed. lest they might
encounter even more determined opposition
than they would If advanced by others. The
political views of the Crown Prince and til ose
VINO thought with him have often been criti-
cised. and the best answer TO them has been
found in she success of that policy of viii eli
neither he his father, when he was st i'll
Prince of Prussia, could fallY approve. Men
think, because they are wiser now, they were
wiser then; but successful policy is not neces-
sarily the wsest policy.

A sncceaafnl strika.

CHICAGO, April 22.-The frat successful nj strike
of the season in Chicago was inaugurated by
the journeymen bakers this morning and was won
before night. This evening che strikers were
able TO show that $50 of the 800 employers had
signed the terms of the Union. This means
that in addition to recognizing the mems orea-
nization. which the bosses had announced their
intention OF smashing, the signers give uD the
project of instituting an employment agency of
their own through which to secure men not be-
longing to the unions Wages hours cut DC
figure in the strike. A bout 1,400 men quit
work, and over half of them are already re-
employed. The bosses held a meeting immedi.
atey after the strike, at which resolutions were
presented pledRing those present to carry cus
their programme OF non-reeogntion of the
union. There was lively discussion, the reso-
buttons were lost and each employer was at
liberty to do as he pleased. One after another
they went to the strikers headquarters and
signed the union contract. About $50 non
union men found employment with some Of the
more stubborn bosses. The cause of the en-
ployers' weakening was the fact that the strike
did not include several of the larger shops, and
it was feared that these places would COB BILE all
