cause of Color blindness.

An article in The Medical Press ad
vances the idea that the particular defect
which gives rise to color blindness lies
not in the eye itself, but in the brain.
Certain persons cannot distinguish be
tween two musical tones; yet, as they
hear both. the defect is not deafness. or
any fault of hearing Professor Ramsay.
the advocate of the idea. therefore argues
that in people who have no musical ear, :"
the brain is at fault, and assumes that it
may be equally true that the inability to
perceive certain colors is not due to any
defect of sight, but to the mental lack Of
power in interpreting the Impressions
conveyed to the brain by the optic nerve.
If this be true. the question of color
blindness ceases to be a physical problem.
and may be classed among cases for the
mental Psychologist to deal with.-Dem

Training Driving Horses.

One thing too often overlooked in
training horses is uniform rate OF
speed. To begin with, we want the
rapid walker, and this is in part under
the control of the trainer. No matter
how good trotter horse may be.
unless il he fast walker 1t is not
profitable for general purposes. The
fast walker is ARRAYS valuable, he
cause throughout our State the roads
are more or less hillv. Having fixed
this trait, the next step is to secure n
uniform tro.ting gait. Spasmodic
drivers arc never satisfactory. Horses
that show occasional bursts OF speed
are not to be relied on for long distance
work. We want the steady tro,ting
animal that is about its business all
dav. Such horse will cover large
number Of miles between sun aud sun.
A horse that goes by jerks is never
comfortable or pleasant driver, lhis
habit of travelling smooth Y and stead
ily is largely under the control OF the
trainer, and should form an important
feature in his wo.k. This should not
lie the highest possible rate of speed.
but a good driving gait, and the colt,
when il leaves walk. should be taught
to know that nothing else will satisfy
the driver. In this way these desirable
traits become fixed, and We have iami-
lies noted for their road qualitic- The

Every farmer should have a note
book in which TO enter the chief events
Of the year. Ii no such book has been
kept, begin one now, and record in it
all important matters. He must be a
poor farmer who cannot find in the ex-
perience OF the past year something
that suggests improvement, and in his
forward look lie should enter in his
book, at the proper month, a memOran-
dunn TO make sure that these be under
taken. Every farmer should ask him
self if all the farm buildings are insured
in safe company. Do not neglect
this. Examine all chimneys and fues
to see that no woodwork goes too near

a long time becomes tinder-like and
takes fire very rapidly. This and the
careless storing of ashes are the most

CARE OF THE SIcK.-Pure air and
proper food are the fundamental
points in the care of the sick. In order
TO have pure air the most scrupulous
cleanliness must prevail in the sick
room, all the surroundings OF the invalid
must be spotlessly neat and fresh.
The nurse should know something Of
the effect of different forms of food on
the human system and how they can
be administered to obtain the best re-
suit. Milk, for instance. which is the
staple article of diet for most persons
suffering from serious illness, may be
so given as to be positively injurious,
instead of beneficial. If too much is
given at once, mass of curd is formed
which is more than the stomach can
take care of in its weakened condi-
ton.
