Physicians have for many years rec-

keenly affects human beings. AMI inyes.
/ tigatOrs have shown that positive elec-
I trlclty produces yigOr and feeling OF

trary, negative electricity has a de-
pressing effect. We are submitted 10
these contrary effects according 10 the

negative electricity dominating. at 9TH
crs the positive, it being possible to
determine the electrical condition by
means OF delicate instruments.
A German metcOrOlOgist. DR.. Schliep
claims that 1t Is possible to determine
approx imately the condition OF the at
mOsphere by comparing the curves OF
the registering barometer on one hand
with those Of the thermometer and the
hygrometer on the other. Dr. Schliep
states that when the marOmcter and

A naval physician, Or. Jolly. has ap

has been able TO fix the changes Of the

THE MONEY QUESTION.

Perhaps the first difficulty young
wives have to encounter, as well as
the last that old wives have still TO
wrestle with, is the question OF money.
Most women are by nature economical.
They watch outgo more carefully than
men do and plan expenditures more
closely. The extravagant women are
usually those whose lives have not
been allowed to develop naturally, who
have been forced into an economic de-
pendence and taught the joys Of spend
ing, with none of the counterbalancing
difficulties Of earning. But even such
women have economical streaks in the
midst of their lavishncss-a sort Of
spasmodic reverSion to type. In spite
Of this there is in most masculine
minds a deep-seated distrust of wOm-
ans financial ability, and the consc-
quence is that the world is full of
careful, Industrious wives nagged and
hindered by careless, impulsive hus-
bands, who take TO themselves the
credit Of the wifes savings and throw
upon her the blame of their own loose
methods. Few of these women like
to assert themselves BADLY as their
husbands financial superiors-some of
them even aid him in his joyful career
OF self deception-and when in dcsper-
alton they are driver to take the reins
into their own hands It hurts them
worse than it does the husbands
