BLESSINGS OF SUNSHINE.
A Curious Result Of the Studies of a
Swiss Professor

From the New York Sun:
Prof. Lugeon Of the University of
Lausanne has been studying the popu-
lation of the valley of the Rhone be-
tween Martigny and the Rhone glacier.
The statistics show that the right bank
Of the river between these points has a
population of $4,000, while only 10000
persons live along the left bank.
There are two reasons for this diff
ference in the density of popula ton OF
the two banks Of the Rhone. One is
that the right bank is less hilly and
therefore offers better natural condi-
tons for the building of hamlets and
towns; but Prof. Lugeon is convinced
that more important influence is ex-
erted by the different degrees of sun
shine enjoyed by the two banks.
He has found that along part of the
river banks which present exactly the
same topographic conditions, the popu-
lation of the side which is most exposed
to the sun has from four to five times
as many inha bitants as the other bank.
which is in the shadow of the noun
tairs that ward off most of the direct
rays of the sun. 18th one or two ex-
5cept lions al the lagos have. been built
tlie ban fully zex-
posed to the sun S rays: s@' s 3 T :=
> This influence of the presence or alb
sence of sunlight also manifests itself
in the psychic characteristics and the
material conditions of the population
of the two river banks. On the right
side of the river, in the sun, the popu-
lation live more at their ease, are more
prosperous and present degree of civil
lation more advanced than those of
the opposite shore,
He calls those who are most favored
with the sunlight the solar aristocracy
and says that they contemplate with a
certain disdain the inferior popula ton
who dwell in the shadow across the
river.
The people of the village of Reckin-
gen, which occupies both banks of the
Rhone, are notably divided into two
distinct castles. whose origin, in the
last analysis, may be attributed to the
difference Of sunshine to which the two
groups are exposed.

POSTAGE STAMP LOSSES,
From the New York Press:

From the New York Press:
An experienced clerk in a branch,
postoffice uptown says that Uncle Sam
is in pocket every year more than ST.
100000 by purchases of, postage stamps
which never are used.
'How many stamps" he says, edo
you lose through carrying them care
1essly in your pockets and fishing them
out again glued together and useless?
How many do you put in a corner of
your pocketbook, finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps OF course. nobody
ever thinks of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste I
am speaking of averaged 20 cents an
nually for each business man. The
total would be enormous.
Hot wather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oiled books came in; but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age is about the same. Some Persons
actually come back to the stamp WIN
dow and ask if lost stamp books can
be traced, like bank books Another
way in which Uncle Sam gains is
through tradesmen sending out letters
inclosing stamped addressed envelopes
for replies, which in the majority Of
cases are never used. = -
"some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. Think OF
the thousands of return postal cards,
too, that are never used Lots Of per-
sons are careless of putting stamps ON
letters or papers, and they fail of:
Then the matter is held up for. double
postage on the other end Of the line.
"a great many persons put on: too
much postage. They. slap. two 2-cent
stamps on letter that would have
gone for 2: cents. Is amazing how
little informa ton usually well informed
persons have about Inherent classes OF
mail matter. They pay fort, too, and
pay well. The beauty 81 our postal
system IS that the government getssthe

A new Governors flag has just been
procured by the adjutant general, to be
used at encampments of the National
Guard. The size of the flag is 40X45
inches. Tt is of blue with yellow fringe
and the seal Of the State is worked in
handsome colors in the center. Blue
