Those who were disposed to criticise the
President for the sharp letter he wasnnder-
stood to have written last July with regard
to an improper judicial appointment care
lessly pressed upon him by Democratic
adviser, will now feel that their judgment
was somewhat hasty, since the individual
in question has proved to be Judge E. j.
Dawne of Sitka, a. present fugitive from
Justice, and from the indignation of
swindled citizens of Alaska. 1t has never
been very clearly ascertained to whom
the Presidents indignant epistle was
addressed, but now that the appointee has
been shown in his true colors, it would not
be amiss to give his indorser's name equal
publicity.

Human Eyes.


 In his Manuel for Anthropologists" Dr. Paul Broca divides human eyes into four dis tinct types-orange, green, blue, gray; and these four again into five varieties each. The symmetry of such classification suggests at once that it is an arbitrary one. Why ange, for instances Light hazel, clay color, red, dull brown, cannot properly be called orange; but the division requires the five supposed varieties of the dark augmented eye to be groped under one name, and be- cause there is yellow pigment in some dark eyes they are all called orange. Again, to make the five gray varieties the ightest gray is made so very light that only when placed on sheet of white paper does it show gray at all; but there is always some color in the human skin, 50 that Broca's eye would ap- pear absolutely white by contrast-a 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 na- ture2 In theory they do. The blue eye is blue and the gray gray, because in such eyes there is no yellow or brown pigment on the outer surface of the iris to prevent the dark purple pigment-the uvea-on the inner sur face from being seen through the membrane, which has different degrees of opacity, mak ing the eye appear gray, light or dark blue, or purple, as the case may be. When yellow pigment is deposited in small quantity on the outer membrane, then it should, according to the theory, blend with the inner blue and make green. Unfortunately for the anthro- biologists, it doesn't It only gives in some cases the greenish variable tinge I have men tioned, but nothing approaching to the deci- ded greens of Brocas tables. Given an eye with the bright degree of translucency in the membrane and very thin deposit of yellow pigment spread equally over the surface, the result would be 8 perfectly green iris. Ma ture, however, does not proceed quite in this way. The yellow pigment varies greatly in color, and it never spreads itself uniformly over the surface, but occurs in patches grouped about the pupil and spreads in dull rays CT lines and spots, so that the eye which usually very dull blue-gray Or brownish- blue or clay color, and in some rare instances shows changeable greenish hue.

A Visit to MT. GIadstone's Parish
 Church.

By George Dana Boardman, D. DI
 During recent stay of two days in Ches- ter, England, took stfy" and drove out to Hawarden Castle, the country home of MT. Gladstone. It is an ancient estate, beauti- fully wooded, here and there artistieally thin ned by the sturdy strokes of the Premiers renowned axe. But what interested me most was visit to the little parish church where the great statesman worships, and where his son Stephen has been the rector for seventeen years. MT. Gladstone himself often ''reads the lessons' on Sun days. Whenever he is at Hawarden Castle he walks every morning in the week to the little church, where at eight o'clock there is held daily morning service. Although a stupendous empire is on his hands, he finds time to- go daily to church and worship. What model for American statesmenl
