it imperative to note every detail of his

or a year he finds satisfaction in look
ing over his notes which is worth the
trouble ten times over. There are men
who have notes dating back over so
years which would be mine Of wealth
for writers on natural history. One man
carried scales in the woods with him for
years and weighed piece by piece the
moose and other big game that he kill
ed, noting it down carefully, SO that
now, after long hunting life, he can

Here's . hit of Pleasant Reading.

The so called Expulsion" Of Lord
Dunraven from the New York Yacht
club reflects very little credit upon the
members of that impotent and unsports-
manlike body. 1t is difficult to speak
calmly Of the puerile spite shown by
these 80 Yankee yachtsmen in going
through the farce Of "expelling' a
member who had already signified his
intention Of severing his connection with
the club, and who, heaven knows, had
little enough reason for wishing to re-
main in it. By their shameless eager
ness TO put an insult upon an honorable
if mistaken English gentleman, the
members Of the New York Yacht club
have forfeited even such modified re.
spect as we in this country have hither-
to had for them. They have made it ut
terly impossible for any self respecting
Englishman ever again to challenge for
the Americas cup. can hardly sup
pose, however, that that fact will cause
them any regret, for they have all along
displayed determination to retain the
trophy by hook or by crook.-London

CLIMATE AND COMPLEXION.
Does the Color Of the skin Depend Upon
Meteorological Conditious9

The Egyptian has remained white
notwithstanding a constant mixture
with the black Nubinns. The people
who live in the dry section Of the Nu-
bian desert have u red skin. Other races
that are brown or that vary from a
white to chamois color also live in dry
country. The Abyssinians, however, in
whose country the plateaus are well ir-
rigated, are blacher. The blackest ne
yroes in Africa are those who live in
Guinea, where the greatest amount Of
rain falls. In Asia, says the writer, it
is the same as in India. There is close
relation between the fall of rain and the
color Of the people. The more moist the
climate is, the darker the skin Of the
natives AS one goes up the Ganges the
climate becomes drier and the skin of
the natives winter The Bengalese are
black, but the Silkhs and the Rajpoots
are Of dead white color.
In America IL is the same. The Bra
zilians are generally darker than the in
habitants of the Andes The Portuguese,
who come from a rainy country, settled
in Brazil, while the Spaniards inhabit
the Andes and the dry La Plata section.
Spain is very dry ms compared with
Portugal, and the Portuguese in Europe
have the darkest skins Of all Europeans.
Heat, light and humidity, says the
writer, are, then. all causes Of pigmen-
tation. In dealing with these three
causes the question Of pigmentation Of
the skin is alone, and their relative in
fluence, he says, is very complicated
one. For instance, persons inhabiting
! mountainous district, where the eli
mate is cooler, have lighter skin than
those who live on the plains, although
il has been seen that the Abyssinians
are an exception to the rule. The ma
tive Of Abyssinia is darker on the pla-
teaus and lighter on the plains.
In Peru the inhabitants ON the coast
have lighter skin than those on the
mountains. D'Orbigny observed that in
America in the impenetrable forests the
savages were lighter; the darkness evi-
IDENTIFY prevented pigmentation. What,
asks the writer, causes the difference be-
tween the negro laborer exposed to the
sun and the Brazilian savage who lives
in the forest? The latter is more or less
chocolate colored, but not black Are
these facts, he asks sufficient to prove
absolutely Buffon's assertion that the
color Of the skin depends on the climate?
Evidently not. If they were, we should
see the descendants Of white person
become black, and vice versa. The accli-
mated white man does not work in the
sun, and he preserves his white skin as
Brahman does. Furthermore, it would
require many generations to accomplish
the change. New York Medical Jour

HE DROPPED.
A Bad Tempered Young Man Gets n Les

A Bad Tempered Young Man Gets Les
son In Poiiteness.
A young fellow with bulging eyes,
bloodshot and heavy from loss of sleep,
swung ON to the rear end of south
bound Clark street cable car. II was
early and the car was filled with young
women going TO their work. The young
fellow held between his thick, feverish
lips long, dark brown cigarette, and
he sucked at it nervously.
The conductor little pink checked
Irishman, reminded his passenger that
smoking was not allowed on the rear
platform.
"Oh, that's all right, said the young
man and continued to smoke.
mo- it's not all right" replied the
conductor, land you will have to go
forward, stop smoking here or get off. "
The young man looked down at the
little conductor moment, shrugged his
shoulders and started forward. AS he
passed through the car he pulled away
at his cigarette, and by the time he
reached the front door the car was full
of smoke and many Of the young women
were coughing. Disregarding their in
dignant looks, he turned as he reached
the door, blew a mouthful Of smoke in
to the car, and with contemptuous
sneer went outside.
The little Irish conductor had been
watching him. He followed, and going
close to him said:
"If you ever do such thing in my
car again, I'll punch your head Off"
Although the young man was almost
twice as big as the conductor, he made
no reply, but tossed his cigarette ava.
and his big red ears began to gro,
white.
The conductor left him, but just then
a young man who had been watching
the proceedings with animated interest
came out and tapping the smoker on
the shoulder said:
II think you had better drop off here. u
The young fellow passed his tongue
over his parched lips, gave startled
glance into the car and dropped. Chi.

GREAT BOON TO A SUFFERER.
One Instance In Which a Cigarette Proved

''It was just six years ago, remarked
E. H. Hume, an athletic looking Eng
lishman, that was with the English
army in upper Burma, and week be-
fore Christmas l found myself taken
down with black diphtheria. There had
been an epidemic of the disease in the
town and vicinity, and l, always sus-
ceptible to contagious diseases, was one
Of the first in the regiment to take it.
Every day l grew worse, until the sur
geon finally gave up all hope and told
me that could not live 10 hours longer
My comrades came to bid me goodby
and a few of my intimate friends, fel-
lows from my own home, staid with me
to tell the folks how passed my last
hours ON earth.
My throat had become so swollen
that Twas in great pain and the phlegm
had collected to such an extent that l
could not speak. Breathing had become
all but impossible.
II knew that had but a short time
to live, and as last request asked for q
cigarette. 1t seemed to be the only thing
on earth that Iwanted. The surgeon re-
fused to give me one, but young Irish
man who knew how fond / was of smok-
ing took one from his pocket, saying
that it would not possibly hurt me, as I
was already dying. He held the ciga-
rette to my lips and inhaled lot Of
smoke, which l thought would choke
me. Instead of that the smoke poured
out and brought with it the whole mass
of phlegm which for week the sur
geon had tried his best to remove. The
cigarette was the only thing possible
that would have served the purpose. In

A Funny Incident In which He Figured
In an Irish Court.

IN an irisn COURT
Tim Healy, the Irish M. p, has n
brother who is very clever barrister.
He has written book ON the revision
of the voting lists which is the standard
authority with English jurists. In con-
nection with that book q funny Incl
dent transpired in one Of the courts at
Belfast
The home rulers Of that city had
wired to the London headquarters for
an able lawyer to fight their battle, as
they considered the local talent rather
light for such heavy legal contest.
They received reply granting their re-
quest.
Tho court opened, and the barrister
for the Unionist party, clever lawyer
named Young, began an able and ex-
haustive argument why the names of
certain individuals should not be re-
tanned on the list. The home rulers were
wringing their hands in despair, for the
man from London had not appeared-at
least no one had seen him.
As Young continued, rendering quo
tation after quotation in support Of his
assertions, the poor Nationalists became
frantic. Suddenly there was lull in
the proceedings. A modest looking
young man had arisen to his feet TO ask
a question. Nobody knew him.

PETTY ROBlBERLES.
Housebreaking and Robbery on the In.
 crease.

Housebreaking and robbery seem to be endemic in Phoenix of late. Wheth- CT an organized band of law breakers are responsible for the misdeeds of that character during Ehe past three weeks, is question left to the police to determine.
 Two robberies occurred last Friday night, but as usual, the authorities kept it quiet. The home of Mrs. De- pew, 320 Van Buren street, was en- tered on the night named while the family was attending the Crittenton revival meeting. Everything was scat tered about ithe place, but nothing was missed by Mrs. Depew but some old and valuable coins. From this it may be inferred the thief is versed in nu- mismaItics, which may prove valuable clue in locating him.
 The other house that was burglar ized on the same night was the resi- dence of Mrs. Baker on East Washing ton street. About $30 worth of jewel ry was stolen and other articles ot more or less value. Mrs. Baker was absent at the time.
