Color. Blindness,

A writer in the Journal Of Science,
treating of color-blindness, gives the fol-
lowing interesting examples from his
own experience: A man may have
good eye for form and outline, and yet
be partially or wholly color-blind. To
select an instance from among many is
difficult, but one impresses me more than
the rest, that of Wyatt, the sculptor, who
at the outset of his career was known as
remarkably good draughtsman. He
naturally took to painting, but, as his
pictures were observed to present curious
incongruities of color, that involved him
in grievous difficulties, he with much re-
luctance was Obliged to abandon the
brush for the chisel. He was altogether
unable to comprehend the nature of his
defect; indeed, refused to believe that
he was color. blind. SO of men who have
attained to eminence in the world of let
ters, and whose writings Enthusiastically be-
tray evidence of meager color vocabu-
larry. A striking example of this occur
red in the person of my friend, the late
lamented Angus B. Reach. He was un-
able to recognize a difference in color
between the leaf, the flower, and the
fruit of plants and trees. His want of
perception of color was wholly unknown
to and unrecognized by himself, until
we sat together at the table of Paris
restaurant. He requested the waiter to
bring him some ink. As it often hap
pens under similar circumstances, the
ink was brought in a wine glass. Reach
became absorbed in his subject, while /,
seated opposite to him, observed him
alternately dipping his pen into his
claret glass and into the ink glass. Pres
emily, to my surprise, he took up the
ink glass, and was about to drink, when
demonstrated, and he then said he
could see no difference between the
color of the ink and the wine. On sub
sequently testing him l discovered that
he was completely color blind.

The Eccentric King of Bavaria.

Ludwig H., while visiting the Ex-
hibition of 1867, becarGo passionately
enamored of the Empress Eugene, and,
with the impetuosity of youth he did not
sufficiently hide his sentiments. 1t is
also said that, in accompanying him to
the station, the empress embraced him,
smiling in the most natural and charm
ing manner, and that since then he has,
like the little urchin in Punch, been try
ing to rub the salute in, instead of off.
Certain it is that Ludwig has never al
lowed the lips of another woman to
brush the place, "because it was sore"
The only one who ever tried had duck
ing for her reward. 1t was the actress
who created the role of Iseult The king
invited her to take a turn in his boat,
and made her repeat her great aria. Be-
coming too enthusiastic, she was about
to fling herself into the royal arms
Their owner merely chucked her into the
stream, and left her to get out as best
she could. 1t should be added that she
was dark and not comely.
All this and much more is related with
bated breath at Munich. The inbabi.
tents of the capital regard the sovereign
with kind of awe; the upper classes
look upon him as poet trying to real
ize the fancies of his own and others
brains the humber look upon him as a
supernatural being. London Globe.

Keeping Rooms Cool.

A cool place should never be venti-
lated, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as cool
as that. The warmer the air the more
moisture it holds in suspension. Neces-
sarily, the cooler the air, the more this
moisture is condensed and precipitated.
When a cool cellar is aired on warm
day, the entering air being in motion APP
pears cool; but as it fills the cellar, the
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chills it, the moisture is condemned, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls, and
may often be seen running down them
in streams. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and late
the last thing before retiring. There
is no need to fear that the night air is
unhealthful-it is as pure as the air of
midday, and is really drier. The COO
air enters the apartment during the night
and circulates through it. The windows
should be closed before sunrise in the
morning, and kept closed and shaded
through the day,-AmericaR Agricultur

neIple.. UpOn a FrIendI ess Sen


Who in taking passage in a great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel thrill OF ex-
ultation over her magnificent power. Against
her the Storm King may hurl his elemental
forces, nor pierce her nrmor, nor stop her
onward course.
But let me describe a scene whom, one
morning in mid-ocean there came an alarm
from the pilot house followed by n cry; THE
ships rudder is lostln From the confident
expression, CONSERVATION came 10 every face.
The wheeiman being helpless TO direct her
course, the vessel was at the mercy OF wind
and wave.
The captain had been negligent--the hang
ings OF the rudder were allowed to wear
weak, and suddenly it had dropped deep
into the sea
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and In ambition, man confronts, un-
daunted, gigantic tasks and commands APP
plause for his magnificent achievements. But
all unexpectedly, an alarm comes-the rud-
der OF his constitution is gone. He has been
careless Of its preservation; mental strain,
nervous excitement, irregular habits, over
work, have destroyed the action of his kid
neys and liver. This would not occur were
Warmers safe cure used 10 maintain vigor.
And even now IL may restore vitality to those
organs and give back 60 the man that which
will lead him TO the haven Of his ambition. -

A Gondola Race i'm venice.

There was such q complete block that
YOU could easily have walked across the
Grand canal over the bridge of boats
thus formed, while the noise was so great
YOU could mot hear yourself speak. For
the people in sandolas and canoes, so
light that they were in momentary dan.
ger of being overturned, screamed and
shouted to the gondoliers to make room
for them. while the latter in return bade
them get out of the way. And all the
time those behind cried, Forward ~ and
those before cried, "Back!" for they had
now reached the rope stretched from one
side of the canal to the other to keep the
course clear, and beyond which the fore
most gondolas, though their godoliers
put down their oars, were soon carried by
the crowd behind pushing and struggling
for better places. Policemen, stationed
every here and there, did their best to
force back the boats. "Avantil A die
tro, Giovanni! Va preston they
cried. "a dietrom cried the gondoliers
in chorus, but not one would move.
Then the chief of police stood up in his
gondola and spoke to the people, none
of whom, however, listened to what he
said. All were too busy pushing and
screaming. 1t was almost time for the
racers to reappear, and every minute
more boats were being pressed beyond
the bridge. ga dietro! A dietro! ~
cried the, policeman, with renewed vigor.
GA dietroi A dietro !" repeated the gon-
doliers. But still no one moved. Then
the chief of police stood up again and
called out an order to fireman in rear
gondola. The latter at once turned a
great hose on the crowd and began
pumping away at his small engine. A
stream of water fell upon the boats
There were loud screams of indignation
and then rush. Men, women and chill
dren scrambled over the gondolas anc
escaped through the narrow streets
Gondoliers rowed again in good earnest
and went swiftly down the canal, di
rectly in front of the returning boats
Through this confusion the racers made
their way as best they could. The bridge
was reached, though when, and wht
came first, none could see but tn
judges, and, perhaps, the royal part,

1t is q mistaken idea that the Turk is
sedate Dy nature. His gravity is
mask worn only in public. When he
comes home at 8 o'clock he relaxes from
the fatigue of his dignity and settles
himself for enjoyment. Loose garments
are assumed and after supper the lamps
are lighted and the dissipation begins.
At least one wife is always selected for
her musical ability and one or two others
for their dancing qualities. These ac-
complishments they exhibit ad libitum,
and music is always forthcoming from
the musical missing link above men
toned. The temporary favorlte com
monty puts in her time shampooing the
old gentleman's feet-a luxury indulged
in by him for hours at time. Often
wine is handed round, and sherbets in
abundance. They laugh, and sing, and
eat and dance and make an "evening OF
it" with a boisterousness that would
shock the people of the neighborhood IL
everybody was not engaged in whoop-
ing it up himself. About midnight the
noise grows quieter and the beds are laid
on the floors, and it is not long before
the rooms are held by silence unbroken
even by snore; for it is the first war
ranty demanded by Turk in his neso-
tiations for wife that she does not
snore and never starts in her sleep.

What appears to be the most serious danger now threatening the American race is the tendency to er-re6 nement, aad the consequent failure in reproduc- tion- This tendency has set its stamp upon our mentality, % that our literary and scienti6c works, and all the varied outcomes of our mental life, are charae- terized bY clearness, quickness, aptness, rather than by force, CT depth, or real mastery. Cor literature, as such, has less
 bulk than the English or German, less body and more grace and refinement. Compare Emerson with Carlyle, or Fiske with Spenser. or Hawthorne with Scott, or Prescott. with Macaulay, or James with George Elips. Up 10 . certain point this deftness and cieapess of our authors give them the advantage but when great tasks ore to be undertaken, our lishtness and brightness are less telling.
