COlOR.BLINDNESS
Some Of the Odd Mistakes Made by Those
Afflicted with the Disease.

Some Of the Odd Mistakes Made by Those
Afflicted with the Disease.
The Ohio Legislature recently passed
a law requiring employees OF railroad
companies to pass an examination and
test their range of vision and ability to
distinguish colors. In accordance with
the statute the Cincinnati, Hamilton u
DAYTON railroad has been examining
its men. DR.. B. F. Clark, a young
physician, who has made a study OF the
subject, has been engaged to test the
engineers, firemen, brakemen, baggage
masters and conductors. He has near
" finished his work on this end of the
line, and wei two hundred hands
have been subjected to the examlna-
ton. OF that number eight were found
to be color-blind, but what the COM
panv will do with the unfortunate in
diyiduals has not been determined.
DR.. Clark was just finishing the eXami-
nation of an engineer, when he opened
the door of a vacant room on the sec
ond floor of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton depot. A pile of various
colored skeins of worsted were heaped
together on q long table. In a corner
of the room was a blackboard, while
two p~asteboard charts, containing let
tiers of various sizes, completed the
paraphernalia Of the place. 1.-The
tests are very simple and conclusive
remarked the M. D. II first take the
light green skein of worsted and ask
the men to pick out the various shades
of the same color. To give them a fair
chance, for they are often excited
usually select the skeins for them and
request them to do it after me, the
pieces being mixed together in a on
fused shape. The man who is color
blind invariably hesitates or selects a
dirty-gray, which he thinks is green
1t is very amusing sometimes. Ihose
whose sense of color is defective might
try a hundred times with the same re-
suit. Most of the men readily pick up
tho green shades and lay them by the
one used for the test. At the conclu-
sion of these tests l produced a rose
colored skein, to determine whether
the blindness is red or green. Ii they
match the rose color with the blue or
violet, then they ere red blind, but II
they choose gray and green, it is green
blindness. | have found some men who
are blind on both colors. asked a
fireman to select the color he would
wear on St. Patrick's day, and he 0
up an orange skein. He believed It TO
be green and could not be persuaded
otherwise"

Solomon in Tennessee.

A certain justice of the peace, who
lived in Tennessee, was once trying a
negro for stealing. Among the defend.
ants witnesses was a girl. 1t was very
evident that she was not telling the
truth.
The magistrate stopped her in the
midst of her testimony and said: "Dt
you know whar you'll go eft you swan
to a liep'
ayes, sir" she replied.
"WharP'
"Ill goter torment!
Torment You'll goter jail, en-
from thar you'll gotcr the plenipoten'
tiary, that's whar you'll CO.
During the rest of the trial she spoke
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. For the Jail had more
terrors for her than torment. DE.

ENGLISH RAILWAY CARS.
Their Compartments Compared to Psdde
Cells in an Insane Asylum.

AZ
Cells in an Insane Asylum.
When an American first enters an
English railway carriage he is pretty
sure to decide that it is much less COM
Portable than the cars of his own coun-
try, and to wonder why their own pat
tern is not adopted. He is put into a
frst-class compartment, a small space
athwart the vehicle with three seats on
each side and at each end, a space
which resembles as much as any thing
else the padded cell of an ~aristocratic
lunatic asylum. The roof is low, and
he looks along it in vain for the glass
ventilators, the glittering silver lamps
and the frescoed embellishments to
which he is accustomed. The decora-
tons are of the simplest character, usu-
ally polished woods and the luxurious
" cushioned seats are covered with
plain cloth of a somber c~olor-dark
blue, or drab, or blue. He certainly
can not find fault with the cushions,
they are so deep and plant, and per-
haps he thinks the omission of the ex-
uberant frescoing of the American a
is not wholly lamentable. Most irk-
some to him is the ~unsocial confinement
and the narrowness of the bounds. The
chances are that though there are seats
for six he only has one or two fellow
passengers and he may have all the
compartment to himself. If there are
others with him they are almost sure
to hold their peace and to crush any
conversational overtures with A { distant
and smileless nod. Each Of them has
hoped to be alone. The intercourse
among the passengers and the many
diverting episodes of an American
train are missing. The train boy with
his peanuts, candy and pile Of papers
is not here, and no black mustached
conductor appears from time to time
to urbanely inspect his passengers.
The quick begrimmed brakeman does
not dart out just before the stations
are reached and mysteriously disap'
pear a moment aftcrward. The Ameri.
can car is So spacious and is so well
filled with passengers that there are
| ALWAYS some of them who are interest
ing to speak to or surmise upon. There
is always at least one pretty girl, who
piques ones curiosity and sets the
mind to work in knitting together a
| thread Of sentimental speculations con-
corning her. In the American train
one belongs to a community and feels
no great change between existence in
it and existence elsewhere. But in the
English train it is impossible to forget
that we are travelling, and that travel
is attended by many restrictions
