INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE.
How 1t Alters the Appearance of In-
 dIviduazs and Peoples.

How It Alters the Appearance of In- dIvidualS and Peoples.
 That physical surroundings will alter the appearance of those brought under them is clear to any ono who ex- amines a few familiar facts. The rosy checked, plump Englishman is of the same race as the 1.-the, sparely-neshed Yankee" of New England, or the straight, sinewy backwoodsman Of Canada or Of Maine. In even 8 short CT time some of our colonists have as- sumed the rank of a. ''race" in many respects different from tho stock of which they are offshoots> Take. for example, the Australian born youth Faniiarly he is known as Q "corn- stalk, '" owing to his long, lank pro- portions In like manner the inAu- ence of the dry, dessicating climate is telling on the South African Briton, and upon the people of almost any colony who live there long enough to enable the physical atmosphere in which they gre enveioped to work its influence upon their bodies, and consequently on their minds. Even the Boer of dry South Africa is in appearance very different from his cousins in moist Holland. The people who live in a fine open country, abounding with game and food, and whose mode of life induces active exercise of mind and body, are invariably 8 finer race than those ex- isting in the low, malarious districts, where the scanty subsistence which the country yields eau be obtained with out any great ingenuity and with the minimum of muscular excrtion. The population of large towns-it has been proved of France, and is affirmed of other countries-is only kept up by continual streams Of fresh blood from the rural districts, the unnatural con- dition of life in city being evidently unftted for the natural increase of the population.

BRONZE IN ATHENS.
The Use to Which the Metal Was Tut in
 Works Of Art.

The Use to Which the Metal Was Tut in Works Of Art.
 Bronze was used by the Greeks for works of art Of many sorts, but very few ancient bronzes remain to us. The metal having considerable value, capa- ble of being coined irto money and always in demand for decorative 3D. pliances, is sure to be melted down when found or seized, unless the love of art or display prevents it. So it happens that the Naples Museum alone contains moro large early brorzes than all other museums together, and that nearly all these works of art come from the one villa, which was explored in Herculancum between 1750 and 1760 The earliest Greek works in this magnificent collection are the so-called dancing girls-stately draped figures of life-size and larger than life, statues of extraordinary dignity and refinement. The noble head called portrait of Plato, and also by various other names, not orig finally bust, but evidently cut out of a bronze statue, which probably had been thrown down and ruined, is also of @ great epoch in art. Half dozen large statues. and twice as many busts, ell in the same hall, are of value in- ferior only to those that have been named. The Spinario. CT boy extract ing 9 thorn from his foot, in the Cap itol Museum at Rome. and the so- called Idolino at Florence, are also early bronzes ofgreat importance, and the Victory at Brescia and the Pray ing Boy at Berlin are works of a later period.
 Bronze was so much used by the Greeks for weapons and armor that it was natural for them to decorate these arms more richly than could have been the case with steel. Accordingly, very elaborate decoration was given to parts of this suit Of defense, the Sirius bronzes in the British Museum being the most elaborate specimens so far discovered. These are shoulder pieces having figures in high relief upon them; moro commonly engraving was used, and subjects of many figures were given by this means to breast plates and helmets. Bronze mirrors, too, were decorated in this way, their backs being covered with engraved designs; and there exist also engraved disks which were not mirrors, but ap- parently votive offerings. But richest of all were the cists Of boxes Of sheet bronze. circular or oval in plan, with straight, upright sides having cast feet and handles. but decorated other wise wholly with engraving.-Chau- tauOuan.

Physical Exercise the Best Remedy for
 This and Other Ailments.
 A weak heart seems to be decidedly moro practically inconvenient than @ weak head. If man or woman be little feeble about the region of the brain it is generally of little moment. Some post or other will be provided if the conduct be respectable; and lack of brains is too common to excite any particular attention either in the per son concerned or in those about him. But weak heart insists upon putting itself in evidence at all sorts of con- venient and inconvenient times. If its possessor finds himself rather late for his morning train, and makes ''spurt" to recover lost time, the ex- ertion is usually followed by such a 'bad quarter of an hour" that he re- solves in future rather to lose 8 dozen trains than to risk temporary suffoca- tion or permanent syncope again. The practical evils which arc asso- ciated with Q feeble heart arc innumer- able, and will readily suggest them selves to those who possess so unsatis- factory a pumping engine. Weak hearts are by no means so common as is often supposed. Many 8 man who thinks he has got one is merely dys- peptic; many @ woman owes her symp- toms to tight facing or insufficient feeding. If the dyspepsia be cured, or the tight facing be dispensed with, the symptoms of heart weakness will disappear Even when tho heart is genuinely weak" the weakness is nos always due to special disease of that organ. 1t may be only part Of Q gen. eral weakness of the whole system which is easily curable. The majority of weak, fiabby hearts are weak and 1abby because every other muscle il the body is weak and fabby, and tnis general weakness and fabbiness is due to want of vigorous use. EXeuc else Of the legs and back and arms gives addi- tional and much-needed exercise to the heart, and the heart grows strong by vigorous Exercise exactly as every other muscular organ does, for the heart is Q muscle. If man has TO organic disease of the heart, no enla cement, and no functional disorder. plenty Of brisk walking, with occasional rua- ming, will soon dispel his broath.ess- ness and heart weakness, other thiG"N being equal.

American Machinery Abroad.

The exhibit of machinery at the Paris Exposition is notably large and complete one. The pre-emi- hence of the United States in this line is shown by the fact that the Ameri- can machinery exhibit occupies one- third cf the entire space in the big machinery palace of tho exposition, which is nearly 1.400 feet long, 370 feet wide and l70high. That electric ity constitutes an absorbing problem of mechanical invention and physical discovery is shown by the prom thence it's apparatus occupies. Throughout Machinery Hall and in various other parts Of the exhibition there are 500 exhibitors in this branch. The universally cf the study devoted tc it is shown in the range of the countries represented by apparatus. These countries include France, Ger many, Great Britain, America, Bel gium, Switzerland, Algeria. Austria, Hungary, Chi.i, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Rus sia and Finland. The Edison exhibit occupies one-half of the entire Amer ican frontage, covering 5000 square feet It i5 the largest single exhibit in the exposition. It is devised to illustrate in miniature most of the great practical results of IIr. Edison's inventions. His entire category of inventions, numbering 493, is repre- sented. .-B:adstreets.

MAKE CHILDREN HAPPY.

An Important Secret in Successfully
Training Them.
Some one whose experience of life had
been both wide and painful once said
Religion begins the wrong way. 1t
says, Be good and you will be happy
say make people happy and they will
be good. So we too often proceed in
the wrong way with our children. We
preach and scold and punish to make
them good, but do very little which
truly makes them happy. Children are
so easily pleased, but we too often make
the mistake of giving that which is to
them so little pleasure. More of moth
er's love, tim, and attention, and fewer
tucks on the tiny garments, would make
many child happier. "
Some one has said that we prick our
fingers and blind our eyes over fancy
work on which our male friends rest
their heads and dream of something we
are not so for our children we stitch
till our mind loses its brightness and our
temper its sweetness, while they out
grow the clothing and us at the same
time.
Again, some mothers put all their en-
ergies into housekeeping. So neat
they are that there is no rest in any cor
ner, while the wee ones say with sigh,
Mamma is too busy to talk to me-"
If were DESTROYS of making children
happy l should first have "children's
hour" 1t might, perhaps, be at the
time Longfellow speaks of in his exquis-
lite little poem:
"Betwixt the dark and the twilight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupation
That is known as the children's hour"
That time should be, as far as possible
sacred from intrusion. They should
have romp, game, a story, whatever
they wish. l would save my best
thoughts and best spirits for that time
