WEATHER AND BRAINS.
Psychological Eject of the Former on the

The psychological effect of the
weather has long been a most interest
ing study. Most people feel the influence
of dull days. east winds and extreme
cold on their spirits and energies. men
tai and physical. An arctic cold and
tropical heat are u~nfavorable to literary
composition. for example. and we speak
of cold freezing our wits" an express
sion which is not altogether ~figurative.
but rests on a common experience.
Goethe found that his capacity for men

barometer and other instances of
meteorological influence IN the mind
could be collected from the writings of
celebrated men.
Suicide occurs most frequently in
summer, perhaps owing TO the heat and
exhaustion. and not. as might be sup
posed. in winter. The American Jour

subject in whirh the head of a large
factory is reported to- state that ii dis

per cent. in the output of the works.
Fine days make people generous and
accessible and opinions given on such
days are held by some TO he the safest.
The influence of the weather upon the

has also been recognized in Il perfume,
