CLIMATE AND MORALS.
The influence of Fie Former Upon tia
Latter.

The Influence of sfie Former Upon the
Latter.
The world is tolerahly well mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study
also the adaptability Of plants to diff
ferent climatic conditions But our
knowledge of the relation of man to
climate is still far from scientific
that is to say, Of he influence of eli
mate upon character and conduct. To
come to detail, what, for instance, do
we know of the effect Of climate upon
veracity? There are portions of the
earth's surface where the inhabitants
regard truth as u luxury seldom TO be
INDUCED in; in others the mind seems
rather inclined to truthfuluess Wheth-
er the difference is owing To race or
climate our observations do not yet
enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of pre-
varication goes along with warmth or
with facilitating atmosphere, and that
cold is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for
truthfulness. We indeed have in the
phrase the cold truth" recognition
of this We say that the northern lati-
tudes nurse the rugged virtue of veraci-
ty. 1t never occurs To us to expect
veracity in Egypt or in any part of At
riea. We should never think OF saying
that an inhabitant of Malta was I'M
truthful; we should simply say that
he was n Maltese. The name Levan-
tine carries with it the same idea. The
/ Levantiue, the African, the oriental
| habit of indircction is sometimes ex-
| planned by the amiability Of the people,
| their desire to say that which will be
/ agreeable. Whereas the Englishman
| prides himself on his blunt honesty
and on speaking the truth, especially If
| it is disagreeable But plant the Eng
/ hshman, or any man whose moral fiber
! is hardened by frigid climate, in
| Egypt, and how long win he continue
10 speak the truth? How is it about
the northern travellers in Africa, who
never agree with each other about any.
thing and habituallv accuse each other
of Misrepresentation" Is this due to
climate or TO the contagion Of a bad
moral example in an atmosphere OF du.
