EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.

Grant Dexter, in his book on
Weather Influences, says THAT
inhabitants Of hot climates are usually
listless, uninventive, apathetic and
improvident. An equable high tenn
perature, especially if moist, weak
ems body and mind. No long estab-
lished lowland tropical people is a con-
quering race in the broadest sense of
the word. For the inhabitants of the
higher latitudes, even under the trop-
ical sun, this may not be true, for as
we ascend the temperature lessons
about one degree every 27o feet on an
average, and even at the equator we
may have temperate climate. The
most favorable temperature for health
which carries with it an aggressive
energy which leads and which has
led the world march of civilization, is
about As degrees on an average, and
this is found in the temperature races.
From there have come the Drawn and
brain of martial conquest and intel
lectual attainment. The dominant
people are shown between the lati-
tudes of rs degrees and SIS degrees.
During the London fogs and on
days when the weather is particularly
depressing in the Bank of England,
certain sets of books, an error in which
would be cumulative and produce
disastrous results further on, are lock-
ed up and the clerks set to tasks less
intricate and important in character.
Experience has taught those in charge
that the percentage of error increases
many fold during such climatic condi-
tions, and that it is money in pocket
to yield to them. The same neces-
sity for cessation of certain lines Of
work during bad spells of weather
is reconnized by the larger banking
institutions in New York and the
other Eastern cities.
''It has been the universal expert
ence of the superintendents of prisons
and asylums for the insane that the
persons in their charge varied SO
markedly with the meteorological
conditions that no man could doubt
that the relation between the wealth
er and emotional states was any 9TH
er than that of cause and effect.
When asked, however, what defnifs
conditions of the weather tended TO
be the most productive of emotional
abnormalities no satisfactory answer
could be made

QUEER EXCUSES FOR ATTENDING CHURCH

A lady of New York in addressing
the Ethical Culture Society recently
on "The Personal Problem of Social
.Afiliation,'' said 1.-The problem to
every thinking man and woman who
belongs to any religious body is, DO
Ibelong where / find myself?' There
is only one way to answer the ques-
ton. If the church or religious body
to which you belong does not call out
the best that is in you and stir you to
the noblest action, you are not where
you belong" she said.
"A large number of ministers were
asked this question: IF you had your
own life to live over again would you
enter the ministry?' The greater
number answered in the negative.
The chief reason given was that the
minister is no longer looked up to as
leader of the people. And is it any
wonder that he is not held in such
esteem?
II overheard a conversation be-
tween three college professors. One
said he went to church because his
wife importuned him to do so, and to
please her he went. The second said
that he went to church because the
particular denomination to which he
belonged did not bind him to any
strong profession of faith. The third
said that he never went to church,
and instead of permitting his children
70 go into Sunday school, with bad
air and worse instruction, he took
them and his wife and spent Sunday
in the country, and returned prepared
for another week. / know woman
who is a member of achurch and says
that she would not leave it even though
she has long since ceased, to believe
its doctrines.
1.-THE most ludicrous excuse for at
tending church, however, was that
of woman who wrote to the editor
of magazine and asked how to get
into society. The editor answered:
Join some fashionable church, con.
tribute largely to its support and
charitable moves, get yourself elected
into an Office and you are safe for an
entrance into soiety.'
II cry shame, shame. To what
base uses the church has been put,
the church that was sealed with the
blood of martyrs and built with sacri-
fees, tears and blood.
eff the religious body to which
you belong does not call out the mob
lest and best that is in you and lead
to higher ideals, then to you it is a
worn out institution and you do not
belong there. Seek that which leads
you into higher and purer life."

CHATS WITH GIRLS ABOUT THIS, THAT AND
THE OTHER.


MY Dear Girls DO you know
there are such things in existence as
timid women? Incredible as it may
seem, it is nevertheless true. The
proverbial "man in the house" still
strikes terror to many a feminine
heart, and the owners of these hearts
pass their lives in more or less fear of
burglars. l heard of contrivance,
simple and economical, which could
be introduced into every house. 1t is
an electric bell worked by button,
precisely like those attached to our
doors. The button is so placed in
the side of the bed that, when pressed,
it rings two alarms, one in the SER
wants quarters, loud and shrill-the
other below stairs. At that awful
moment when madame stealthily lifts
her lids to descry thief at her dress
ing table, her trembling heart is
stilled by the consciousness of imme-
date relief at the finger tips. Simu-
lating the calmest repose, she need
only insinuate her hand gently be-
meath the bed clothes to where the
blessed little button awaits pressure.
AS if by magic the entire household
is aroused, lights are turned on, and
Mr.. Burglar, his hands and pockets
full of pelf, is captured and held till
police assistance arrives upon the
scene. Isn't the idea a good onel
Of course, some of us still look under
the bed, and inside the very shallow
wardrobes every night, and we are
disappointed (f) to find nothing. I
heard of such a one, who found to her
dismay, as she stopped low to look
under heavy lounge, pair of heavy,
muddy boots sticking out at the end.
She screamed, "good heavens, John,
here's man under here ~ "Well,"
yelled John, the partner of her joys
and sorrows, "I'm glad you have
found him, Maria Ann, for you We
been looking for him for the past fif-
teen years"

This is supposed to be the woman's s
era-her age. Many ofthe old writer's
seemed to have a most excellent opin-
ion of our sex. Sheridan said beauti-
fully women govern us, let us rem
der them perfect. The more they are
enlightened, the more shall we be-.
On the cultivation of the mind of
women depends the wisdom of men.
It is by women that Nature writes on
the heart of man." Now there's a
person who thoroughly understood
that mother, wife, daughter or sister
was gifted with as much mind as he
was (and his was of no mean calibre),
and what was more, he wasn't afraid
to say so. Oh, at that lecture, girls,
my emotions got up grand indigna-
ton meeting on the spot, and it was
we'll that man had to hurry to catch a
train to bear him away from lot of
astounded females, who were won
dering if they really were part imbe-
cile, and part intelligent, and had not
found it out until they met him that
day. AS Burns said, truly,
"Oh! wad some power the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves, as ithers see u.s."

speaker who delivered lecture in a
sister city before a woman's club. 1
begin to think there is hope for us
all, since he opened Our minds and
comprehension to the fact that woman
is really a human being, according to
the new ideal of womanhood. He in
formed us that one of our faculties is
mind f; consequently we ought to be
allowed to develop it. He was in
favor of giving woman the highest
trainining which she is individually
capable of receiving, for two reasons !:
For the improvement of social inter.
course, and for the sake of her rela-
tions to her children Think of it !!
We are really going to ''get there"
at last He knows that the idea Of
woman's dependence upon man has
existed as far back as we can 60.
One argument used is that, according
to Genesis, man was made first and a
woman was not made until after
ward ; but great many cannot accept
the literal Interpretation to day of the
argument. Things are different now
it has been discovered that she has
a mind Il hear some man say, who
knows something, eyes, and mind
of her own, at that") What an age
this is Here, at the beginning of a
new century, a wonderful discovery
has been made Not only did the
speaker think and dispute that her
sphere was in household, church and
nursery work-getting half-score Of
children to bed at night, and up again
in the morning, and like the woman
in the story book, commencing to cut
bread and butter it, before dawn, to
have it ready for the always-hurgry
mouths, buthe actually ysaid hethought
her faculties were capable of much
wider scope, and deserved all the
training she was equal to. Well

news.
