sWAYED BY THE WEATHER.
Some Persons Are Greatly Influenced
by Climatic Conditions. II

T Weather influences on man may be
roughly divided into Two classes-viz.
those which are direct and obvious and
those which are the more or less indi-
rect and obscure. The influences be-
longing to the second class have been
during the past decade or so the sub
ject of immense research.
Some persons are pronounced me

persons, rs rule, are more specifically
''cyclonopaths." The passage of cy-

reflected in their sensation and in the
mode Of operation of their bodily and
mental functions.

Nationa That Left No sian.

There are two great nations OF an
tiquity whose inscriptions cannot yet
be re;ld-the Etruscans nni the Hit
tites. The Etruscans occupied u part OF
Italy corresponding roughly to what is
now known as Tuscany. The Utilities
ut one time occupied part of Pales-
tine and united with the Canaanites to
resist the invasion by the Israelltes
under Joshua. The Etruscan and Hit
tite inscriptions have thus far resisted
the attempts of scholars to decipher
them. though no one knows when some
one may stumble on blingual in
scription which will serve rs key.

yoked effects are shown in many of the

from the usual straight lines. Cotton
crepes are in great demand for under
wear, partly because they look well
and partly because they launder so
easily. requiring no ironing. Hem
stitching and frills Of self material are
the only trimmings on this model,
which only requires rs yards S6-inch
material to develop in medium size.
There are SO few parts to the pat
tern that it will be an easy matter to
properly place them on the goods.
This is, of course, folded so that each
section will be cut in duplicate. The
front (A) and back Co are marked by
triple 'TTT" perforations to indicate
that they should be laid on the length
wise fold Of the nainsook. The tiny
little piecing that will be required for

The sleeve, which is short and is
shaped to run into the neckline, is laid
on a lengthwise thread of the material,
between the front and back sections.
