The Theory of Daltonism.

The dischromic theory renders it easy
10 state what the sensations of color
blindness are, although it is not easy for
q normal-eyed person to imagine the APP
pearance and impressions utterly
strange to him-which they lead to. The
color blind person has only two sensa-
tions of color. One of them is excited
most strongly by rays which the world
call yellow, the other by rays which the
world call blue; and hence all llcolor-blind
persons concur in giving these names re-
spectively to their two visible colors.
But their power of vision do not end
here; they receive q vast number of
sensations differing materially from pure
yellow and pure blue, and which give
great variety to their impressions of ma
terial objects. In the first place, they
have great varieties in the intensity or
degree of saturation of the two colors
themselves In some cases the yellow is
intense and full, as if the buttercup or
the pigment chrome yellow, at other
times it is weak and pale rs in the prim-
rose. And similarly in some cases the
blue is very full and intense, as the color
of the sky. But further, independently
OF these two colors, they have white
and black prominent and as distinct to
them as the normal-eyed. Whether the
sensations correspond in the two cases is
a matter of controversy but this much is
certain namely. that all objects which
convey to the normal-eyed sensations of
white and black, also convey to the
color blind person his sensations of white
and black, for which reason he is per-
fectly justified in using, for such sensa-
tions, the same terms. Further, the
color-blind person is quite incapable Of
appreciating the immense varieties of
shade caused by the mixture of white
and black in different proportions, form
ing an almost infinite series of shades of
gray. Then. lastly, all these varieties of
gray may be combined with the various
intensities of either of their two colors,
forming different nuances of them, and
so, still further, vastly increasing the
varieties of sensation. Contemporary

Lady smokers.

That great many ladies in New York
City indulge in the fragrant cigarette is
an open secret. Indeed, the custom has
become so universal that it can hardly
be called secret at all.
It used to be very common for girls,
when party of them met in some quiet
place, where there were no men, to take
few puffs ut cigarette for the sake of
the forbidden fruit sensation. But now
they are more bold about it, and [ will
venture to say that the majority of New
York girls smoke cigarettes. A number
of gentlemen have told me that their
wives would take cigarette after dinner
when they took their cigar, and they APP
proved of the custom. / knew one lady,
one of the highest born in the land, who
was an inyeterate smoker until forbidden
by her physician.
Spanish, Russian and Polish ladies
smoke. almost as much as the men, and
no one thinks the worse of them for it.
l should not like to see ladies smoke di-
gars or pipes, but I see no impropriety
in an occasional cigarette. There is q
great difference in the way they are
smoked. have seen some women
smoke a cigarette so daintily that it was
beautiful sight to watch the delicate
smoke curling up from their rosy lips,
while others puff away in such mascu-
line manner that one becomes thoroughly
disgusted. / have been at a number of
dinner parties where cigarettes were
passed around to the ladies when cigars
were brought to the gentlemen. I am
talking about the best people now, not
Bohemians.
If the walters of Delmonico's or the
Brunswick would tell you, you would be
surprised at the number Of private par
ties where cigarettes are smoked by la
dies. If you ask lady plump out
whether she smokes, she will evade the
question until she has sounded your
opinions, and if they are favorable, she
will generally confess in the affirmative.
I have heard some people say that they
would rather see woman drink than
smoke; that they thought the latter more
masculine. 1 do not think SO, and the
effects of cigarette are certainly more
innocent than of champagne OF whisky.

UNwRITTEN HIsToRY-In the life of
every one there is an unwritten history.
1t may be better that this book is book
sealed to the world, and open to him
only whose experiences are recorded
therein. But sometimes glimpse is had
of the contents of this volume. The rec
ord is of life experiences-of the aspira-
tions of youth and their subsequent
destruction, of the selfish friendships of
the world and of the ultimate overthrow
of all the early plans of life. Somehow
or other, we seldom if ever attain the
ends and purpose we desire, but after a
struggle we drift helpless upon life's
treacherous ocean. We pass away, and
the little grave-mor,nds beneath which
we slumber are oblitered by the tread of
untold millions. After all we are not so
important to this world as we sometimes
imagine.

How THE FLUTES PUNISH THE UN-
FAITHFUL.-From a party just in from
Prospect mountain we learn that one
week ago last Saturday, late at night,
there was terrible din in the vicinity of
the Idaho mine, occasioned by whoop-
ing. yelling, daring savages. Mr..
Thomas, foreman at the Idaho, con-
cluded it was fandango, as did others
who heard the racket and saw the flames.
The other day Mr.. Thomas happened to
pass the spot where the remnants of the
fire were still smoking and fragments of
the barbecue were scattered around. A
close inspection showed that the fire had
been built to wipe out squaw. The
skull, fragments of bones and brass
lingering were picked up. NJ H.
Joseph now has the ring, q cheap affair,
such as is often worn by the squaws
about these parts. It is smoked up and
bears the evidence of having been sub
jected to great heat. Il is getting to be
a serious matter for dusky maidens in
these parts to fiirt with white trash, and
the Shoshone lords propose to squelch
that business as in days gone by-by
cren,ating them on the spot. Il Eureka

POPULAR IDEAS OF THE CRoss.-In
the west of England there is tradition
that the cross was formed of the mistle-
toe, which before that event used to be n
fine forest tree, but has since been
doomed to lead parasitical existence.
The gypsies believe that it was made of
the ash tree. The nails used at the cru
cifxion, said to have been found by
Helena, are reported to have worked
many miracles. One of them was thrown
by her into the Adriatic during storm,
and produced perfect calm Another,
placed in the crown or helm of Constan-
tine, was found in mutilated state in
the church of Santa Croce. The third is
said to be in the possession of the Duemo
of Milan, while that of Treves claims
the fourth. In the time of Charlemange
q new relic was discovered in the shape
of a sponge soaked in the blood OF
Christ. In Cheshire the Arttns n,actIla-
tam is called "Gethsemane, because it
is said to have been growing at the foot
of the cross, and to have received some
drops of blood on its petals. 'sChrist'a
thorn" is very common plant in Pales-
tine. In Scotland it was formerly be-
Eeved that the dwarf birch is stunted in
growth because the rods with which
Christ was scrourged were made from it.
These are the popular ideas of the ma
terial of the cross, some of which will,
perhaps, never be entirely obliterated
until the last great day, when "all
things shall be made plain.

Durability OF Consumption.

The best physicians are coming more
to acknowledge that tubercular consump-
ton can be cured.
DIR. Carl Booth of New York, a man
eminent in the regular profession, claims
that he is able to cure sixty per cent. OF
consumptiyes at all stages; and that it is
easy to arrest the disease in its early
stages. His aim is to secure five points:
/. To get the muscles which control
the action of the lungs into such a con-
dition that they can draw the air forcibly
into the finest passages, thus clearing
the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and re-
establishing capillary circulation and res
piration in the activity of the air-cel]s
generally.
2. To establish perfect digestion, as
similation and excretion. In this he
does not seek what to people generally
is the most nutritious and most easily
digested food, but such as the particular
patient can most readily digest and as
simulate.
3. To heal the tubercies by transform
ing them into cretaceous (chalk- -like)
mass. He secures this ~ with food
rich in salts of lime; t2) certain miner
ais, such as lime and silica; (3) certain
acids, such Us citric, which promote the
oxidation of effete matter
4. To increase the activity of the air
cells. This is accomplished by bringing
the patients under the influence. as much
as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air,
and bodily exercise. He says: They
sleep with open windows III summer and
winter. and go out every day. SO i'm

that my patients go out in the rain. snow,
