ZERO OF THE HUMAN BODY.
When Sen~atfOn of Heat or Cold Can
BE Felt No Longer.

lie Felt NO Longer.
The name physiological zero" is
given, by certain writer's on the sub
iect, to the temperature at which the
human body feels no sensation of heat
or cold. 1t might be supposed that it
would coincide in all cases with that
Of the body itself, but according to
the recent experiments of Mr.. Maurel.
a French Psychologist, it several de-
grees lower and varies with the ma
ture Of the surrounding medium, be-
Ing lower In air than in water. Mr..
Maurel determined his physiological
zero by immersing his body in baths
of different temperatures, but he does
not seem to have measured his own
body surface temperature directly, re-
lying instead on the records of meas
thorities. This and the fact that he
has neglected to take various neces-
sary precautions makes his results
somewhat doubtful in the opinion of
Henry Pieron, who criticises them
thus in the Revue Scientifique:
of water or air at divers temperatures
and noted between what degrees he
realized the sought-for state Of in
difference. He did the same for the
variations of temperature between the
skin and the clothes which he calls
the 'subvestial temperature, and for
the temperature of the body In bed,
which he names 'cubilial temperature
And he finds that the cutaneous phys
biological zero lies practically between
3 degrees and 33 degrees (86 degrees
and 81 degrees Fahrenheit) he even
seeks to dlfferentiate the trunk and
the lower limbs, whose physiological
zero he finds to be slightly lower. In
general the range Of zero is 1 degree
to 2 degrees q degrees to degrees
Fahrenheit).
HE also concludes that there is a
relation between the physiological zero
and the surface temperature of each
organ, which latter is about degrees
(5h degrees Fahrenheit) higher than
zero. But were any new experiments
necessary to show that the sensation
of Indifference depends on the surface
temperature of the body?
'The same medium should appear
Icy or broiling to the fever patient
as his surface temperature oscillates
And as the sensations of heat or cold
correspond to an exit or entrance of
heat, the contact that assures thermit
equilibrium should assure also a state
of sensorial Indifference.

1 would very much like to add a few
remarks upon the loneliness of that
horrid bulldog, says a writer in the
New York Times My dog was a yellow
and white coated animal, with the wet,
pink mouth, with little black spots up
on the pink. He was the most faithful
brute 1 ever knew; ugly as could be to
his own kind; was disfigured with scars
from fierce battles. To me he was a
gentleman. He had the misfortune to
have one Of his toes nearly severed

the paw up in an old kid glove. Every
other day 1 would remove the bandage
and place the foot in a dish of warm
bicarbonate of soda water.
When cleansed and taken out of the
water l would rebandage 1t again. He
would turn, as wise as he could be, look
at 1t and put his wet mouth up to my
cheek and lick my face and hand. Graf
itude was in his great eyes. He would
guard me all day long. When night
came l would invite him into the cot
tage and make a bed of straw-f1lled
pillows upon the floor and after rub
bling his chewed-up ears he would lick
my hand and cheek and we would part
for the night. How safe l felt in that
lonely spot, which was only byroad in
an Indian reservation section of coun-
try.

DRAWBACK OF GREAT WEALTH.
Former Employe of Russell sage
Pays Tribute to Him.


Pays Tribute to Him.
Twenty years ago few persons could
get into the presence Of Russell sage
without passing inspection by John h.
Mccain, who for a long time was MI.
Sage's confidential clerk. Mr.. Mccain
served efficiently in That position, Dut
he had a soul for poetry, and after ten
years he left finance for literature, says
the Wall Street Journal.
Now that Mr.. Sage has died. Mr.. NC
Cam contributes to the Journalist a
remarkable tribute to his character.
He speaks of him as genius. lie says
he was a deeply religious man, who had
often during lull In the storm of Dusi-
ness "muttered a little prayer" and
who In the panic of May, 1884, when
the universe seemed crashing about his
ears, looked and acted like one in deep
communion with the Infinite" He de-
clares that Mr.. Sage was true man
and a gentleman" While 1t was I'M
possible for him to cringe, he did not
know how to offend deliberately. The
proof Of his moral courage was to be
found in the fact that for nearly $4,000
days he Insisted on living his own life
in his own way, regardless of criticism,
whereas a weaker man would have
been made reckless spendthrift by
the ridicule to which Mr.. Sage was
subjected because of the carefulness
of his personal expenditures.
1t has been said that no man is a
hero to his valet and few great men
seem great to their Immediate clerks.
Whatever Judgment may be passed
upon Mr.. Sage's career, there must
have been something fine and master
full in his character to have drawn
this tribute from his confidential clerk
of years ago.
Mr.. Mccain says that after he left
Mr.. Sage in 1890 he only saw him three
times. The last time, Mr.. Sage COM
planned that Mr.. Mccain had left him
alone, and he was indignant when his
former clerk explained that because OF
Mr.. Sages great wealth the visits
would have been misconstrued.
Mr.. Mccain makes no comment upon
this, but it illustrates strikingly the
tragedy of great wealth. Here were
two men of large ability and warm
personal liking and mutual respect.
More than that, they had been asso-
ciated for ten years in business. But
they were separated by $4,000, 600,
which one of them possessed and the
other did not. The rich man did not
consider this a bar to friendship. but
the poor man did. To visit the rich
man would have subjected the poor
man to a misconstruction of his mo-
tives; his self-respect would have been
compromised. Mccain told Sage that
If he were poor, even three Calling
guns could not keep them apart.
What did Sages millions do for him?
Were they any compensation for public
criticism and ridicule, for the sever
ance of desirable association, for the
isolation and distrust of enormous
wealth.

Table Decorations.

One of the prettiest decorations for
a dinner table is made by dropping the
electric bulb into the center of a col
ored glass bowl.
Fill the bowl with flowers, matching
1t in color, mixed with asparagus and
ferns, and Irvine smilax around the
cord that connects the bulb with the
chandelier.
Another charming decoration Is made
with maidenhair ferns, which are
lroned out and laid in circle In the
center of the table.
A fern ball is suspended from the
chandelier, hanging so low that 1t seems
almost part Of the leaves on the table.
Gala lilies that have the centers re-
moved and replaced by small yellow
candles may be fitted into wire flower
holders over yellow jardinieres for a
yellow luncheon.

A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they were
useful has had them converted Into
two closets, one opening out Of her
dining room, the other on the second
floor. The steps were removed bodily
and a glass door opened into the din
ing room from where they had been.
The space inside she had paneled and
rows Of shelves were built in, well up
to the ceiling. The lower ones were
used for china and the upper ones for
preserves. A small window cut Into
the side yard admitted light into what
was really small shelf-lined room
The whole cost little. Upstairs a ca
pacious linen closet filed in the vacant
space.
Another woman who did not wish
to have the stairs actually taken out
had the upper landing converted into
closet, but left the stairs underneath
using them from the first floor as
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

Wonld our grandmothers have

this year that mothers have been fresh
ly inspired to look for pretty designs for
them, to combine with the fine laces and
embroideries. Here Is a little French
model Of soft blue Bingham that Is
charmingly simple and dainty. The lit
tie box plated skirt Is trimmed with
tabs edged with blue and white braid.
The blouse, double-breasted in effect,
really closes in the back. Tabs and
braid are used with novel effect here,
but there is trimming band provided
in the pattern that can be made of lace
or embroidery and arranged under them
II more dressy effect is liked. Also,
the short sleeves. coming above the dim
pied elbows, are very comfortable.

Cuttinx siIo Corn.

It Is Of primary Importance to know
at what stage corn should be cut to Sc
cure the best results. 1t Is also neces-
sary, 1t Is pointed out in Farming, that
a careful study be made as to how rap
idly nutrfment is stored up in the corn
plant and when the maximum amount
Is reached. When corn is fully tasseled
1t contains but elght-tenths OF a ton of
dry matter an acre, or one-fifth of what
1t contains when fully ripe. When In
milk 1t contains nearly three times. as
much dry matter as when fully tas-
seied. Only seventeen days were oc-
cupied in passing from the milk to
the glazing stage, yet In this time there
was an increase In the dry matter of
1.3 tons an acre. This shows the great
advantage Of letting the corn stand
until the kernels are glazed. After this
period the Increase In dry matter is but
slight

It Is an easier matter than most
women realize to become a thorough
going bore. We have all met such a
woman. She will reclte for hours at
a stretch the troubles-real and imag-
inary-which she experiences with her
husband, children and servants. She
will expound upon her own ailments,
and bore you with a long story OF her
pains and aches. She also usually
complains Of being a bundle Of nerves,
and yet takes a keen delight In telling
you the most sensational and harrow
Ing news which she has read, until she
makes your flesh creep. And II you
plead an engagement In order to es-
cape her, she not only offers but ac-
tually insists, In a manner not to be
denied, on accompanying you until she
has exhausted her fountain Of talk.
Tho grievances which such woman
has to tell you are inexhaustible. No
matter how earnestly she may work
for the good of others, she is always
sure that no one appreciates her eff.
forts. The truth Of the matter is that
she really does nothing at all without
largely advertising the fact, and no.
body can appreciate self-praise.
The woman who would avoid becom-
ing bore must remember that her
personal affairs and petty domestic
troubles are of no particular interest
to any one except, perhaps, to spite
FIJI neighbors, to whom they form food
Tor gossip.
