Not So Bilious as He Was.

Ben Tuthill tells good story on him
self thus:
II have q notion that beer gives any
one a tendency to biliousness. and, SO
thinking, l have acquired the habit of
looking at my tongue whenever am in
front Of mirror. The other day in New
York / stood chatting with q party Of
friends near the Fourteenth Street theatre
We were Just In front Of a little cigar
store with very bright, clear, plate glass
show window, and as we chatted caught
ray reflection on the polished surface, and
Just as matter of habit stepped up to it
and put out my tongue, SO, for look. It
was all right and I turned back to my
friends and went on chatting In about
q minute man seven feet long came out
of the door Of the cigar store and came
straight up to me with his fists doubled
up. Says he:
You young cub, I'll teach you to run
out your tongue and make faces at me-
81 believe he would have pounded me
into jelly II the party had not interfered
haven't been bilious since. Minneapolis

The Empress of Germany.

The position of Empress Victoria In
Germany seems to be that which a Yam.
kee woman would occupy in English soci-
ETY. It Is seldom, if ever. that happi.
ness comes from wedding of western
radicalism with eastern conservatism.
The English princess was brought up to
be a precise housekeeper, aggressive and
severely determined She is not only the
inheritor Of English custom and taste,
but Of the peculiarly absolute notions of
Victoria She comes in conflict with the
phlegm that surrounds her. and in doing
so shows very little consideration for
what she disapproves. and Is not alto
gether chary Of occasional contempt. A
Dutch princess for England will do. but
an English princess for Germany is too
bounteously supplied with progressive
views.-Globe Democrat.

Cansa of Color Rlindneas.

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 lear, "
the brain is at fault. and assumes that It
may DO 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.
