Try nunuFeu tllncb WIN tho ooho to-
suit. Most Of the men readily pick up
the green shades and lay them by the
one used for the test. At the conclu-
sion of these tests l produced rose-
colored skcin, to determine whether
the blindness is red or green: II they
match the rose color with the blue or
violet, then they are red blind, but II
they choose gray and green, it Is green
blindness. l 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 took
up an orange skein. He believed 1t to
be green and could not be persuaded
otherwise"
"About what per cent. OF the men arc
color.blindp'
IL can't say exactly as yet, but l
should Judge between four and five per
cent"
"Do you find many with defective
visionP"
"a few. They are placed n certain
distance from these charts and told to
read the letters like this: q EFKZLQ.
II they fail then they do not stand the
test. try their sense Of hearing by
nv watch. Some men can hear 1t tick
six feet away, but two or three feet is
the average. The blackboard is used
to determine the field of vision. 1have
the men close one eye, and then run
this stick with the end along toward
them until they can see it. The dis
tancc from the mark in the center of
the blackboard indicates the scope OF
their vision"
"Do you ever give the men who fail
second trial?"
"Yes. But IL they are color.blind
they are sure to show it again. lcx-
amined fireman the other day who
was badly color-blind. His engineer
told me that he knew his partner
couldn't distinguish colors. because he
sent him for green flag not long ago.
He brought him a red one. Nearly all
the employees who arc color-blind seem
to be aware Of the fact They resort
to ali sorts of devices to prevent mis-
takes in signals. such as cuttingnotches
on fag-sticks and painting black lines
on their lamps"
The subject of color-blindncss has at
tracted great deal of attention in
Europe. and several good works have
recently been issued in reference to 1t.
1t is said by the authorities that among
men four per cent. are color-blind,
while less than one per cent. of the
women are defective in that particular.
A person who is affected with color
blindness can never be cured, and there
are instances where fevers have pro-
duced it in individuals whose color
sense had previously been very acute.

EVENING RETROSPECT.

Far DER the hills CLEANS rcd the setting sun.
And dazzling rays athwart the uplands lo;
Above the clouds belt OF splcndor's hung,
And golden shadows iicck the western sky.
Across cool meadows in Their vcriuro dressed
The evening bells fall softly ON my ears
As on the time worn bridge my feet | rest,
And pause to view tho noiselcss work OF
years.
The silver water running far below
,The slender thread was onco flowing
strcamr
The tiny current. falling soft and low,
Seems like some fragment OF long past
dream.
Thc old red house beyond the bridge Is gone,
And waving grain now marks the sunny
place
wherc childish voices woke the air at morn.
And life and love claspcd hands in sileni
grace.
Just on the hill the quiet graveyard lies,
Peaceful ani still mid flowers blooming fair;
The puivcring aspcns ia their sad surprise
shake out their foliage on the summer air.
All. many time with childish fear and dread
My youthful feet have trod those mounds
between,
Pushed hack the tangled vines the name to
read
OF fthosc asleep beneath the foliage green
The sun goes down to greet another day,
The mists curl upward from the meadows
low;
Turn with faint reluctant feet away
From dreams OF youth and scenes OF long
ago

ENGLISH RAILWAY CARS.
Their Compartments Compared to Padded
Cells In an Insane Asylum.

Cells In an Insane Asylum.
When an American first enters an
English railway carriage he is pretty
sure to decide that 1t 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
iirst-class compartment, a small space
athwart the vehicle with three seats OH
each side and ut each end, 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 tho glass
vcntilators, the glittering silver lamps
and the frcscocd embellishments to
which he is accustomed. The dccora-
tions are of the simplest character. usu-
ally polished woods and the luxurious
ly cushioned seats are covered with
plain cloth of somber color-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 frcscoing of the American car
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 arc seats
for six he only has one or two fellow
passengers and he may have all the
compartment to himself. II there are
others with him they are almost sure
to hold their peace and to crush any
conversational ovcrtures with distant
and smilelcss 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 moment afterward. The Ameri.
can car is so spacious and is so well
filed 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
thread of sentimental speculations con-
corning her. In the American train
one belongs to community and feels
no great change between existence In
1t and existence elsewhere. But in the
English train 1t Is impossible to forget
that we are travelling. and that travel
Is attended by many restrictions

COlOR-BlINDNESS.
some OF the Odd Mistakes Made by Those
Afflicted with the Disease.


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 &
DAYTON railroad has been examining
its men. DR.. b. F. Clark, young
physician, who has made study OF the
subject, has been engaged to test the
engineers, firemen, brakemen, baggage
masters and conductors. He has near
ly finished his work on this end of the
line, and over two hundred hands
have been subjected to the examina-
ton. OF that number eight were found
to be color-blind, but what the COM
pany will do with the unfortunate in
dividuals has not been determined.
DIR. Clark was just finishing the exami-
nation of an engineer, when he opened
the door of 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 long table. In corner
of the room was blackboard, while
two pasteboard charts. containing let
ters of various sizes, completed the
paraphernalia of the place. "The
tests are very simple and conclusive"
remarked the NJ. ID. 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 q fair
chance, for they are often excited. ]
usually select the skeins for them and
request them to do 1t after me, tho
pieces being mixed together in con-
fused shape. The man who is color
blind invariably hesitates or selects
dirty.gray. which be thinks is green.
1t is very amusing sometimes. Those
whose sense Of color Is defective might

NEEDHAM'S IDEA.

Spontaneous Generation.

Former Experiments with Regard to
Spontaneous Generation.
An interesting experiment was de-
vised ono hundred and thirty-seven
years ago by an English Catholic
priest, named Ncedham, in association
with the French naturalist, Button,
but only properly carried out seven
teen years later by an italian phi
losophcr. the Able Spal!anzani. Its
purpose was the same rs Rcdis, to keep
an organic substance so that nothing
could alight on 1t from without in or
der to find whether, under such con-
ditions, life could spontaneously dc.
velop within it. So minute are the
organisms, however. that multitudes
might be deposited, unseen, from the
air during even few minutes ex'
posure. With great ingenuity were
the altered circumstances met 1t was
argued that heat would destroy or
ganism, as it destroys other living
things. So an organic infusion was
placed In a flask and boiled, and.
while It was boiling, the neck of the
flask was fused and sealed by a hot
flame. Thus any living thing In the
infusion must have been killed and no
others could enter. When this had
been properly done the flask might be
kept for years without any ANIMAL
culs ESQ called) ever appearing in tho
infusion. Words.

THE SAlLOR.MAN.
a saiiinE-vessei Captains Bill OF Fare
on Ocean Voyages.

on Ocean voyages.
The captain of deep-water sailing
vessel as a rule lives well. Ortolans
and truflles do not grace his table. but
sea-pie, scouse and plum-duf do and a
healthy appetite would always prefer
the latter combination. Sca-pic is q
most savory dish. II is baked in deep
saucepan and has crisp brown crust
on the top. A sea-pie is made as n
three or four "dcckcr," according to
size of the pie desired. The cook puts
a layer OF scraps of meat and small
pieces Of potatoes in the sauce-pah;
over that he places layer Of crust.
and so on until he has tho requisite
number OF decks on the structure.
Then all hot and juicy it is placed on
the captains table. After u course of
sca.pie nothing goes better for desert
than plum-dutl. Plum-duif is flour,
water, lard, q little salt and some bak-
ing powder to make it light. Raisins
are scattered through it and 1t Is
boiled like pudding. The num-
Der Of raisins in the dun de-
pcnds on the generosity of the
steward. When there are not many
they have an unpleasant way Of con-
gregating in that particular slice OF
duff which the captain gets. The story
is told Of an economical skipper who
always had the plum-dufr placed on the
table between himself and the mate
and instructed the cook to see that all
the plums got In his end. for he and
the mate used to cut the duff straight
across its center, each taking half. The
mate discovered this, and one day when
the duff came on the table. he picked
up the dish and looking at it critically
said: "Isn't that ono Of the plates we
bought in Shanghai" replacing 1t on
tho table with the plum end nearest
him. "I believe it is," replied the
captain. picking up the dish, looking
at it carefully and replacing 1t in its
first position. mo-" said the mat,
1--WE got that in Hong Kong" and
again he turned the dish around. The
captain looked at tho mate and the
mate looked at the captain; finally the
latter said; Suppose we cut this duff
lengthwlsei" and they did.
Lobscouse is simply wet hash, but q
sea cook has way Of making 1t that is
never attained on shore. Besides the
peculiar sea daintics the captains ia
bic is garnished with all sorts OF
canned things and such articles of food
as may be kept on sea voyage. A
live pig and some coops In which hens
lay eggs for the cabin are generally
carried. This is n "cabin grab" and
the forecastlc lives quite differently.
The plum-duff is apt TO degenerate
there into "cannon.ball pudding" and
the sea-pie savors Of the scrapings
from former dinners. Canned goods
are replaced by "salt horse" and a
separate and peculiar brand of coffee.
