Nearly every sportsman keeps a note
book, in which are recorded dates, places
and kinds, sizes, conditions and SO Oh
OF the game or fish he does or does not
take. Such man, when he tells story,
big, little or odd, can clinch it by refer
ring to his book. Every naturalist finds
it imperative to note every detail Of his
observations, and at the end of ten years
or year he finds a satisfaction in look
ing over his notes which is worth the
trouble ten times over. There are men
who have notes dating back over 90
Pears 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
give the average weight of any wild
animals with which he is familiar

CLIMATE AND COMPLEXION.
Does the Color of the Skin Depend Cpo,
Meteorological Conditions:

UOe8 tne NOSOf Oh the SKIN depend u DOE
Meteorological Conditions:
The Egyptian mas remained White
notwithstanding constant mixture
with the black Nubians The people
who live in the dry section Of the NJ.
bian desert have "a red skin. Other races
that are brown or that vary from q
white to n channels color also live in DIV
country. The Abyssinians, however, in
whose country the plateaus are well IT.
rigated, are blacker. The blacklist ne
groes in Africa are those who live in
Guinea, where the greatest amount Of
rain falls. In Asia, says the writer, i.
is the same as in India. There is close
relation between the fall of rain ard the
color of the people. The more moist the
climate is. the darker the skin of the
natives. As one gees up the Gauges the
climate becomes drier and the skin Of
the natives whittier. The Bergalese are
black, but the Sikhs and the Rajpoots
are of a dead white color:
In America il is the same. Tho Bra
zilians are generally darker than the in
habitants of the Andes. The Portuguese,
who come from rainy country, settled
in Brazil, while the Spaniards inhabit
the Andes and the dry La Plata section.
Spain is very dry as 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
f1,a Of e
the skin is alone, and their relative in
fiuence. he says, is very complicated
one. For instance, persons inhabiting
a mountainous district, where the eli
mate is cooler, have a lighter skin than
those who live on the plains, although,
it 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 coas,
have a lighter skin than those on the
mountains. D'Orbigny observed that in
America in the impenetrable forests the
savages were lighter; the darkness evil
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 cclored, but not black. Arc
these facts, he asks, sufficient to prove
absolutely Buttons assertion that the
color of the skin depends on the climate:
Evidently not. If they We're, 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.

Opinions Of Great Generals on War.

Arbitration between nations signifies
the same thing us the existence Of the
ordinary Judicial courts. 1t means the
substitution Of reason for force as q
means Of decision That its possibilities
are great has already been demonstrate
ed. That they will grow with the devel-
opment of disposition to peace is IN
questionable. An indication Of this
tendency may be found in the abhor-
renee of war by great commanders. The
sentiment Of Wellington, Nothing ex-
cept a battle lost can be half so melan-
choly as a battle won," WAS expressed
more bluntly by General Sherman: do
you know what war is? War is hell!'
General Grant, speaking with di-
rect pertinence to the subject Of arbi-
tration, said: Though have been
trained as a soldier. and have partici-
pated in many battles, there never was
a time when, in my opinion, some way
could not have been found of preventing
the drawing Of the sword look for
ward to an epoch when a court recog-
nized' by all nations will settle inter
national differences Instead Of keeping
large standing armies, as they do in Eu.

"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 a week be-

been an epidemic Of the disease in the

ceptible to contagious diseases, was one

me that could not live 12 hours longer.

lows from my own home, staid with me
to tell the folks how I passed my last
hours ON earth.

that Twas in great pain and the phlegm
had collected to such an extent that
could not speak. Breathing had become
all but impossible.
Il knew that had but short time
to live, and as last request asked for a
cigarette. 1t seemed to be the only thing
on earth that WANTED. The surgeon re-
fused to give me one, but young Irish
man who knew how fond I was Of smok-
ing took one from his pocket, saying
that it would not possibly hurt me, as l
was already dying. He held the ciga-
rette to my lips and / inhaled a lot of
smoke, which I thought would choke
me. Instead Of that the smoke poured
out and brought with it the whole mass
OF phlegm which for a week the sur
geon had tried his best to remove. The
cigarette was the only thing possible
that would have served the purpose. In
