Physiological Effects of Mnsic

Two French scientists (MM. Binet
and J. Courtier) recently described in
the Revue Scientifque a series of ex-
perimerss made by themselves and
others on human beings and animals
Of the effects Of music on the heart and
respiration. In the translation of the
London Lancet: ON. Patrizi, an Ital-
ian Psychologist, had q patient with q
wound in the skull which laid bare the
brain. He was thus enabled to OBJ
serve the actual effect of music on the
cerebral circulation. Music occasioned
an increase in the size of the brain
itself. The effect on the cerebral cir
~culation was variable, the vessels being
sometimes CONSTRUCTED and sometimes
dllated. At other times no effect IVES
produced. MN. Binet and Courtier

notes, chords in unison, and discords

to retard respiration. When melodies

respiration was retarded. Where the
sound was wholly accomplished by
emotional ideas, as in single notes OF
chords, the hearts action was a~cceler'
ated, but not in so marked a degree
as when a melody either grave or gay
was played. During operatic pieces
or those well known to the subject the
acceleration attained its maximum

GUARDING AGAINST DRourH.

In localities east of the Rocky
mountains, where irrigation is not
practicable, much may be done to
guard against the effects of drouth, by
deep plowing and thorough incorpora'
ton OF fertilizers with the soil, writes
M. v. Moore OF Alabama Last year
the rainfall OF the winter and early
spriug months had so filled the sub
soil with moisture that a three-months
drouth had not exhausted the source
of supply for the roots by the plants
above. When one begins to water a
plant from above. the tendency OF the
roots is to grow upward towards the
crust OF the earth, where the artificial
irrigation has been begun. The prop
or coursc for the roots is obliqneiy
downward, toward the natural reser'
voir OF moisture in the subsoil. Inc
reason why SO many of the watered
plants are short lived and almost par
rem of best fruits is caused by the
roots being too near the surface to
withstand the effects OF drouth, ana
in periods OF excessive rainfall they
ara dble to be drowned out. In the
K alton states the most eihcacious

No Living Mammoths.

For several years the story has been
extensively circulated that the natives
Of Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths. The probable origin of
the story was pointed out at a recent
meeting OF the Biological Society of
Washington by Mr.. @. 81. Townsend.
In 1885 when he was in Alaska, some
OF the natives questioned him concern
ing the nature of the giant animal
whose bones are not infrequently
found there, and no drew reservations
OF the mammoth in order to show them
how IL looked when living. They were
greatly interested in the pictures, and
made copies of them. These copies,
he thinks, have been widely scattered
through Alaska, and, being found by
white men in the hands OF the natives,
have given rise to the belief that the
prehistoric beasts still inhabit that
country.

The homemaEer hears now, prob.
ably for the first time, that it Is due
to her that American domestic service
is in its present deplorable condition.
Had che and her class created q home
atmosphere for servants, she might
by this time have brought the king.
dom Of heaven to her very doors.
These charges, and others in the
same vein, are easily brought. Some
OF them are less readily proved 1t is
safe to begin by denying any implica.
ton that because of the attitude Of
the employers. domestic service is
considered degrading by any class OF
tho community. No self.respecting
woman OF the ~so-oalled upper classes,
who possesses ordinary common sense,
perceives a caste distinction between
the stsaleslady" or factory girl and
the house servant. Among these them
selves is it hat such social distinctions
exist. Tho first aud second class es
named consider themselves many rungs
higher on the ladder of position than
the aliying-out girl" They will not
hesitate to acknowledge it,
Said a typewriter who had been
forced by hard times to take a place
as nurse in a private family: al
wouldn't for worlds have any of my
friends at home know that / had sunk
so low as to go into service. They
would never respect me again" She
was an American. A girls club in a
New England town wal nearly broken
up a few years ago because al intelli.
gent, we'll bred Scotch girl who was
in service wal admitted through q
misunderstanding. To snve tho club,
composed chiefly of shop girls. she
had to go. Another potent influence
against domestic service is the dis
esteem in which it is held by many
young men of the mechanic class, who
have themselves risen a little in the
world, and who openly declare their
aversion to marrying any one who is
only a common servant"
There is little hope that a better
class of girls will enter service until
these conditions are changed. and the
servants and their friends respect their
work. North American Review.

There are no less than 1855 women
commercial travellers in England.
They avoid the particular branches
of trade in which the sexi is interested.
One woman, for instance, travels in
corrugated iron and iron bolts. An
other travels for locomotives. Only
a few take up embroideries and silks,
pickles and jams. and similar COM
modities. Male commercial travellers
regard the innovation at present as a
joke, but the opinion of nm expert
goes to show that in this profession
women can succeed where men have
failed.

FASHION NOTES

The new parasols resemble very
gorgeous floral blossoms.

Grafton for Easter millinery.
Nearly all costumes have a jacket
effect introduced in the bodioes.
A handsome hat is in sailor shape,
with a rather high crown. The trim.
ming is large punches of velvet roses,
with upright ostrich plumes at one
side.
There is a fancy for red in millinery
and this caprice is qnite extensively
carried out. Red with black is pretty,
and red with French gray is 'swell"
il it is becoming to the wearer.
A novelty in sleeves shows a SEQ
ton fitting rather snugly around
tho arms at the elbows. From this
there are three or five long points
that fasten to the shoulder, where tho
sleeve is sewed to the waist.
A charming bonnet is made of red
peoples. They are so arranged as to
cover the frame, and a bunch OF stalks
aud green leaves falls over the hair at
one side. A cluster of bird-of-para.
disc feathers stands up at n side.
Among the handsome cuffs and col.
lars for tailor costumes are those
made of white satin, embroidered in
dull shades of yellow. red, blue and
gray. They are specially stylish and
pretty over thin dresses, giving q dash
Of style to a simple costume.
Among tho novelties is what might
be called a crazy quilt hat 1t is com.

lady is relative OF =. ?. Hunt 'ngton,
who is said to have proved an unavailing

Countess Olga is a petite little lady,
who wears pretty clothes dainiiiy, and

naughty little kicks thrown in, just as
.aucily as though the Hatzfetdts had
never graced book Of heradry. Then
when she IS encored she comes out in q

another pretty little song.
There is little in her act to suggest that
she is such a formidable parsonage as
