The MOccnsin.
From HarpeTs Magazine.

From H8rper's Magazine.
The moccasin is the most rational and
comfortable of all footwear. In moccasns
the feet have full play; they can bend and
grasp; there IS nothing to chafe them or
impede circulation. In moccasins one can
move like an acrobat, crossing slender and
slippery logs, climbing trees or passing
with ease and security along dizzy trails
on the mountainside where a slip might
mean sure destruction. The feet do not
stick fast N mud In the north, when the
mercury is far below zero and no civilized
boot will protect the feet from freezing,
the savage suffers no Inconvenience. HIS
moccasins, stuffed with dried gras let the
blood course freely. The persplration may
freeze on the hay in solid lump of ice, but
the feet remain warm end dry. The buck
skin moccasin. Indian-tanned with deers'
brains and wood smoke, always dries soft
after wetting.
in autumn, when all the leaves and twigs
are dry as finder, a man wearing shoes
makes noise in the forest like a troop of
cavalry, but in mOccasins he can move
swiftly through the woods with the stealth
of panther. The feet are not bruised for,
after enjoying for q time the freedom of nat
ural covering, these hitherto laundering
members become like hands, and feel their
way through the dark like those of a cat
avoiding obstacles as though gifted with
special sense. Best of all, the moccaSin is
light inexperienced sportsmen and SOL
diers affect high-topped lace boots with
heavy soles and hObnails imagining that
these are the most serViceabie for rough
wear. But these boots weigh between four
and five pounds. while d pair of thick
moosc-hide moccasins weigh only eleven
ounces. In marching ten miles a man
wearing the clumsy boots lifts twenty tons
more shoe leather than if he wore mecca
sins.

Climate and Complexion.
From the London Globe.

FROM the London IlODS,
1t has long been known that climate alone
is not sufficient to account for a colored
people. Dark skins are by no means con-
fined to the tropics, they are to be found in
races even beyond the temperate zone. This
diversity, according to writer in one of
the American magazines, can only be &C
counted for by considering the different
modes of life that have acted for centuries
upon the various classes and castles of the
country. The coolie who works in the fields
with a strip Of cotton cloth about his loins
is very dark; the merchant and trader who
never go abroad without being thoroughly
clothed are many degrees fairer. 1t is said
that colony of Jews on the west coast of
India has been established for nearly eight
eeR centuries, but because they have not
followed the habits of the people as regards
clothing they remain to this day a white
people. On the other hand, the Aryan pop
ulations of India and Persia, originally a
fair people, by, adopting the customs of
those coun tries, hav4become, in great meas
IRE, a colored race. accordingly, it is argued
that the steady lrnarth of natur. is toward
the evolution of fair people all over the
world. The Layer of dark pigment beneath
the cuttcle preWeslts1the skin from blister
ing, and when proper clothing renders this
safeguard unnetessary, nature dispenses
with it altogether. IT is also limited that
color has some thing to do with the mental
and intellectual conditions of g. people but
into these questions, the writer wisely for
bears to enter. -
