COLOR BLINDNESS.

Apropos of the inability to tell the diff
ference in the colors of railway signals and
the consequent accidents, gentleman
writes: liam one of the so-called color-bllnd,
and have given some attention to the phe'
nomena. At sea never could declare the
color of light. On shore am unable 10

Gently, who could not distinguish between

woman color-bind, and I find my daughters
able to distinguish the difference between
the finest shades of color, to all of which
thew apply names of somewhat fancltul
character. Put awhile and red light side
by side, and few, think, would fail to de-
scribe the difference; but put both lights
at q great distance, then remove one, and
YOUR so-called color-blind subject is at once
in doubt. To some persons all wines OF

them, and they Gould not determine the
quality, character or vintage to save thell
lives. why9 Simply because they arc

INTERRUPTED TABLE TALK.

The other evening the Rev. Mr.. Philactes
sat down at the tea table with very
thoughtful air, and attended to the wants
of his brood in very distracted manner.
Presently he looked up at his wife and said:
"The Apostle Paul"
SCOT an awful lump on his head 'safter'
noon," broke in the pastors eldest son,
playing base ball. Bat flew out of the
strikers hands, when was umpire, and
cracked me right above the ear, an
dropped me. Hurt? Golly!" and the lad
shook his head in dismal, but expressive
pantomime, as he tenderly rubbed lump
that looked like billiard ball with hair on
it. The pastor gravely paused for the in
terruption, and resumed:
"The Apostle Paul"
''Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at Green
baum's this afternoon" said his eldest
daughter, addressing her mother. "She
had on that same old, everlasting black silk,
made, over with vest of tilleul green silk,
coat-tail-basque pattern, overskirt made
with diagonal folds in front, edged with
deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black
velvet facing inside the brim, and pale blue
flowers. She's going to Chicago"
The goo minister waited patiently, and
.hen, in tones just shade louder than be-
fore, said:
| '"The Apostle Paul"
| "Went in swimmin' last night, with
Harry and Ben, pop, and stepped on
clam SHE'LL" exclaimed his youngest son;
''cut my foot so can't wear my shoe; and
please, can't stay home tomorrow"
The pastor informed his son that he
might stay away from the river, and then
resumed his topic. He said:
'The Apostle Paul says"
'My teacher is an awful iar,' shouted
the second son; che says the world is as
round as an orange, and turns round all the
the time faster than circus man can ride
guess he haint got much sense"
The mother lifted warning finger to
ward the boy, and said-''sh!" and th'
father resumed:
"The Apostle Paul says"
sDon't bite off twice as much as yo'
| can chew" broke out the eldest son, re
proving the assault of his little brother Of
piece of cake. The pastors face showe'
just tride of annoyance as he said, in ver'
firm, decided tones:
'The Apostle Paul says"
''There's fly in the butter!" shrleke'
the youngest hopeful Of the family, and
general laugh followed. When silence wa
restored, the eldest daughter, with an air
curiosity, said:
swell, but, pa, really would like
know what the Apostle Paul said."
'Pass me the mustard, said the paste
absently.
Then the committee arose, and the Senat
: went into executive session and soon afte
