Human Ewes.

In his Manual for Anthropolo-
gists," DR.. Paul Broca divides human
eyes into four distinct types--orange,
green, blue, and gray; and these four
again into five varieties each. The
symmetry of such classification sug-
gests at once that 1t is an arbitrary
one. Why orange. for instance2
Light hazel, clay color, red, dull
brown can not properly be called
orange; but the division requires the
five supposed varities of the dark pig
mented eye to be grouped under one
name, and because there is yellow
pigment in some dark eyes they are
all called orange. Again to make
the five grey varieties, the lightest
grey is made so very light that only
when placed on sheet of white pa
per does it show grey at all but there
is always some color in the human
skin, so that Broca's eyes would APPS

thing unheard of in nature. Then we
have the green, beginning with the
palest sage green, and up through
grass green and emerald green to the
deepest sea green and the green of
the holly leaf. Do such eyes exist in
naIure2 In theory they do. The
blue eye is blue and the grey grey,
because in such eyes there is no yell
low or brown pigment ON the outer
surface of the iris to prevent the dark
purple pigment-the uUeG-on the
inner surface from being seen through
the membrane, which has different
degrees of opacity, making the eye APP

pie, as the case may be. When yell

pologlst, it doesn't. 1t only gives in

Broca's tables. Given an eye with
the right degree of translucency in

ever does not proceed quite in this
way. The yellow pigment varies
greatly in hue; it is muddy yellow,

He Married His Sweethearts Sister.
From the San Francisco Alta.


The marriage of George Finlay, the
hlstosian of ancient Greece and for
many years correspondent Of the
London Times at Athens, was attend
ed De considerable romance. Finlay
had become attached to beautiful
Armenian girl at Censtantinople, and
as her familay would never have con-
sented to her marriage with the young
Scotchman, he determined to elope
with her. A yacht of an English
friend was to take the couple to
Greece, and it was arranged that the
young lady was to be got on board in
box prepared for the purpose.
When the eyentful moment came the
now frightened girl refused to allow
herself to be placed in the box. Her
sister, girl equally lovely, thought
II a pity that the romantic arrange
ment should not be taken advantage
OF, and entered in herself in place
OF her sister. l suppose Finlay must
nave been considerably surprised
When the boz was opened in the cab

4eart, but her sister was revealed,
dressed in midshipman's uniform.
IEe brother of the young lady had
discovered the affair and was quickly
On board the Yacht to demand an ex-
planailon. Finlay saw only one
course before him The girl had been
compromised; he would marry her.
Inc brother consented, and the mar
rage took place al once.

Fruit as AN Article of Daily Diet.
London Lancet


One of the most salutary tendencies
of domestic management in our day
is that which aims at assigning to fruit
a favored place in our ordinary diet.
The nutrient value of such food in
virtue of its component starches and
saccharine materials, is generally adj
mitted; and while these substances
can not be said to equal in accumulate
ed force the more solid ingredients of
meat and animal fat, they are SINH
larly useful in their own degree and
have, moreover, the advantage of
great digestibility. Their conversion
within the tissues is also attended
with less friction and pressure on
the constructive machinery. The
locally stimulant action of many sub
acid fruits on the mucus membrane
deserves mention It's control of too
active peptic secretion, and its inhu-
ence of attraction exercised upon the
alkaline and aperient intestinal juice,
are points OF more than superficial
Importance. To this action further
effects, which aid the maintenance of
pure and vigorous circulation, are in
directly due. Thus it follows on the
simplest principles of physiology, that
other essential organs, such as the skin
and kidneys, are relieved by the tran
ferene e of part of theirexcretory func-
ton to the bowel and act with greater
ease, the general vacular system is
lightened by this regulating drain,
and its faculty of absorbing the waste
products of food, and work is encour-
aged in proportion. Almost all per
sons IN fairly normal health may in
dulge il sound ripe fruit in greater or
less amount. Except in certain cases,
indeed, there is practically no exact
limit to its consumption under these
circumstances. Among such excep-
tons may be noted the equity and
rheumatic diatheses. A tendency to
diarrhea or a dysenteric history obvi-
ously forbids the free or frequent use
of fruit. SacchaTine diabetes, or ner-
vous conditions in which it is apt to
appear, are similarly antagonistic at
all events where any but the non-amy-
loid fruits, such as nuts, are consider
ed. Dyspeptic stomachs, on the other
hand, are usually benefited by
moderate allowance of
this light stimulating fare. 1t must
be remembered, moreover, that every
fruit is not equally wholesome, let the
digestion be as powerful as it may,
Nuts, for xample-consisting as they
do for the most part of condensed
albuminoid and fatty matters-can
not compare in acceptance, either by
the palate or the stomach, with other
more succulent kinds, even though
they contain IN the same bulk far
greater amount of nutriment. A lit
tie Of such fruit is enough for diges-
ton, and that little is best cooked.
Nevertheless, if we take fruit as
whole, ripe and sound of course, and
consider its variety, its lightness and
nourishing properties, whether eaten
alone or with other food, and its cheap
abundance, ave can not hesitate to
add our voice in support of its just
claims on public attention. In form
er articles we have shown why vege-
table produce of all kinds should en-.
ter largely into the food of children.
Well,chosen fruits are consequently
for them as safe and beneficial as
agreeable

HUMAN ENDURANCE.

1t is an acknowledged fact that
man possesses the power of endur-
ance to u greater degree than any
of the lower animals. Profess
sional pedestrians have been
known to walk an average Of
one hundred miles per day for ak
consecutive days, which would be
a wonderful accomplishment for
horse, and surpass all ia known
records of that useful animal.
OF course a nan possessing the
power of endurance TO its fullest
extent must be in perfect health.
One who is troubled with weak
urinary and digestive organs,
whose pulse is irregular, whose
heart palpitates, and who feels
sense of burdensome fatigue after
the least exertion, would be very
unwise 20 compete in pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from
a want of endurance, you can re-
gain robust health and strength
