HUMAN WEATHER INDICATORS.
Enects of Atmospheric Changes on th
 Temperament of Men.

Erects of Atmospheric Changes on the
 Temperament of Men,
 4 writer in The American Journal of Psychology discusses the subject from the view of common experience and presents some facts that aie interesting as we'll as leading in their directness He says:
 'The head of a factory employing 5000 workmen said, We reckon that a disagreeable day yields about 10 per cent less work than a delightful day, and we have thus to count this as a fac tor in our profit and loss account Ac- cidents are more numerous in factories on bad days
 "A railroad man never proposes changes to his superior if the weather is not propitious. Fair days make men accessible and generous and open to con sider new problems favorably. Some say that opinions reached in best weather states are safest to invest on.
 Other facts are mentioned in the psychical and physiological relations. as: "Weather often affects logic, and many mems most syllogistic conclusions are varied by heat and cold The knee jerk seems proved to have another factor. It is not strange if the eye, which wants the normal stimulus in long, dark weather, causes other changes.
 Temperament is fundamental factor in sensitivcness to atmospheric changes, that type of it called the mental being the moro intensely affected, while the bilious type may exhibit by comparison the more capricious or morbid impress sions, says The Chronological Journal The mental manifestations, as q rule, however, depend upon the organism primarily. If tho culture is good-that is. the faculties have been trained to coordinate harmonious action, and the elements that contribute to serenity and self control have been well developed weather conditions will but operate like other parts of the environment, and self training will show adaptation, sell repression
 The "nervous," excitable, irasciblt person is he wi ho has not learned to con trol feeling and expression, and it is ht who finds fault with his surrounding: and imputes unCanny conduct to them That there aTe functional states of the body that IrC,lispCse one to mental de- precision or collaboration we are ready tC admit. A torpid liver, chronic ca. tarrh, n rheumatic joint and even all old corn may render one susceptible tC weather changes, the physical ailment producing a nerve reaction that is keen ly felt at the spiral ccnters and may tes the spirit. Mind, however, is superior to matter. or rather constituted for su periority. Fairly organized, carefull! developed and trained, it will exhibi that superiority by its pose and calm ness in circumstances that are disagree able or painCcl tu the physical sense.

MORE SALTY THAR THE DEAD SEA

A Ton of Great Salt Lake Water Holds
 About 3I4 Pounds of Salt.
 Water of the Great Salt lake varies greatly in its contents of dissolved sol ids, depending upon the relation between the supply of water through streams and the evaporation A fair average of total solids dissolved in the water of the lake at its present mean level Is from 19 to 20 per cent by weight But not all of this is common salt, for besides this in- gredient the water contains sodium sul- phate (glauber salts), magnesium chlo- ride, calcium sulphate (gypsum) and po- tassium sulphate. A detailed analysis of water taken from the lake in Au- gust, 1888, was made by pr. Talmage This contained in all 19. 56 per cent dis solved solids, of which 15. "A was com mon salt. Such water would yield of total solid matter 39l pounds to the ton, and of common salt about 3l4 pounds to the ton.
 The Dead sea contains a greater pro- portion of solid matter dissolved in its waters than does the Great Salt lake. Much discrepancy exists among pub lished accounts of its contents, the fiuc- tuations ill composition being due to the same causes that prevail in our lake viz, the relation between the supply through inflowing streams and loss by | evaporation. A sample taken from a depth of 1, no feet carries 25. 1 per cent of dissolved solids. This corresponds to 52S pounds to the ton, but of this only z. 55 per cent was common salt or 151 pounds per ton
 Therefore. though the Salt lake car ries a lower proportion of dissolved sol ids of all sorts than does the Dead sea, the lake contains more than double the proportion of salt. The chief solid con- stituent of the Dead sea water is not so. dium chloride Common salt, but mag nesium chloride Strictly speaking. the water of our lake is much "brinier' than that of the Dead sea, common salt being the chief solid dissolved in tho lake. Nevertheless the Dead sea is muct | more highly saturated with solids

VENTILATION FOR EVERYBODY.
The Only Method by Which All Kinds O
 Cranks Can Be Suited.

The Only Method by Which All Kinds of
 Cranks Can Be Suited.
 One of tho greatest difficulties met with in ventilating public buildings and railway cars is to settle the question of how much air shall be admitted or how often the entiro cubic contents of an apartment shall be renewed. This from the fact that in the quantity of air re- quired individuals vary greatly. To some the whole ocean of the atmosphere is inadequate, and they do not feel oven comfortable unless a Niagara of air is pouring over them.
 This is thc fresh air fiend, male or fe- male, who opens the car window and swallows dust and cinders (and makes others do tho samc) for the sake of satis- flying their craving. Behind sits doubt less person to whom tho least breath of air in motion is q calamity, yet both of them must make the journey in com pany One has just as much right as the other to his views of what is desira- ble to him, and neither is called upon to, givc way to the other. Ono smothers, and the other feels that ho or she is about to be blown out of tho car.
 The only compromise that we can think of that would answer and make ventilation of public rooms a success is to provide an automatic system which shall bo variable i'll different parts of the same room. These parts should be supplied with traps in the floor and have, say. six second fan blower be- meath each trap and bo accessible only to fresh air flcnds of both sexes.
 In the other parts a dead air space, approaching vacuum. should be main tained, into which little sulphI.ret of hydrogen should bc injected periodically in order to obtain all the phenomena of bad ventilation for persons of intirm health who are compelled to travel Then every one would be satisfed-if the plan workcd.-Engineer.

The Eskimn md the waIrus.

To the Eskimo the walrus is the same all in all that the buffalo was to the In dian, that tho camel is to the Arab and the reindeer to the Korak. Its flesh feeds him. Its tough hide covers his boots, his sholl-like kayak and his big. clumsy bidarrah, aud cut into strips it makes his harpoon lines and dog har- ness Its oil furnishes him light and fire. Its ivory tusks are legal tender for all sorts of civilized luxuries. such as iron and steel for spearheads, knives and even guns. Certain tissues make good mackintoshes for Mir. and Mrs. Innuit, and the fiipper bottoms of the walrus make good sole leather for the hunter also. St Nicholas

WHERE THE eRAvEsT QUAKE.
And often the Anticipation Is Worse Than
 the Realization


 Most men will face a gatling gun with less nervousness than they will Q dentist. It is hard to say why, but a dentist chail is more terrible object to the average mortal than a surgeons operating table, and nearly every den- tist can tell stories of ordinarily cour- ageous men who have backed out of an engagement at the last minute.
 One young Chicagoan. with plenty of nerve ordinarily, knows of a dentist whom he studiously avoids on account of a sudden and unaccountable weaken ing at the critical moment And the dentist-well, the dentist would proba- ply like to see the young man. The lat ter had been troubled with toothache for about q week and at last made up his mind to have tho tooth pulled. To prepare himself for the ordeal he took some liberal doses of whisky and then sought out the dentist. The pain of tho tooth, combined with the whisky, had put him ill n pretty nervous state, and to quiet him the dentist put him up in an operating chair and put a big tum- bier of whisky on the table beside him. "When you arc ready, call me, he
 
 next room.
 Half an hour later the dentist looked in and asked:
 Are you ready?"
 "Not yet, doctor," replied tho pa- tient
 Another half hour went by, and the doctor tried again, but the patient still wanted more time.
 Half an hour or so after that the den tist looked in again. and the patient had gone. So had the whisky. Tho young man had finished the last of it and still found that he had not enough nerve to undergo the ordeal, so he had quietly got down from the chair, se- cured his hat and sneaked out.
 But that is merely an illustration of what fear of dentist will make man do.-Chicago Herald.

HEAVENS OF THE HINooos.
The Four Degrees of Bliss to Which tn
 Departed Spirits Pass.


 Tho Jews believe in a plurality of heavens, and so do the Hindoos, the former reckoning seven, the latter but four. These four special abodes of the righteous after death each has its name. The first is called Sara-loga, "God s world;" the second, Sameeba, ''Near to God;" the third, Sarobam, Gods i'm ago." and the fourth, Sayutcheyam, which signifies ito be absorbed in him. !"
 To Sara-loga. the first degree of bliss, 20 the souls of all of those who have ever r ade pilgrimage to n holy place or who have paid for the temple lights for one month In Sara-loga there is great happiness and no work or sickness The inmate is allowed to read the five sacred books, drink ambrosia and hear the houris sing.
 To Sameeba go the spirits of Keer- ikarar, or workers in the Brahman cause; also those who forego the com forts of this life, such as sleeping ill n recumbent position, eating sufficiently, etc. Their happiness consists chiefly of continually praising God.
 To Sorobam, the third heaven, go the souls of such as never spoil Gods model by shaving or pairing the nails These are the Brahman Yogis. They wander about the earth, always going from left to right. They eat nothing but nauseous food and live in a constant state of ab- straction on divine subjects.
 The fourth heaven, Sayutcheyam, is the coming abode of the ''nyane, or philosophers. These nyane pay no at- tention to heat or cold, never bathe and often go for weeks without food. If they are sick, no one knows it but them selves. They are the stoics of the world of today and believe that in Sayutche- yam they will eventually be absorbed in the Deity.-St. Louis Republic.

Newspaper Men Out of Cash Tut Up Their
 Iirains For Stakes
 Poker has Lcen played with every thing from pea beans to n hundred dol lar bill, but perhaps the most curious commodity thHt was ever passed about over the green cloth occurred the other night among party of newspaper men
 Somebody suggested the evening hours would pass mOrc quickly If all hands indulgCd in the national game Every ono was willing. but when an nc count of stock was taken it was discov- cred that there was only about Si. 50 in the crowd, and every one objected to playing for wind" After little dis cussiOn some one had an idea. which he put in these words: Let's appoint a committee of two as judges; then for m hour let us each sit down and write short stuff for the Sunday paper. Every thing that the committee agrees upon as being good enough tO be printed shall Dc accepted ns cash and can be paid in as equivalent for a stack of chips"
 This idea met with instant favor. and for an hour or more nothing could be heard in that room but silence At the end of that time each one produced his quota of alleged interesting stories and the committee to which 1t was submit ted. reading it all with a lenient eye. passed nearly the whole lot
 Then the game began and furnished the curious, spectacle of men opening jackpots for quarter of a column and anteing with ''stick." with a fixed limit of O column. including the head New York Herald
