spread Of CoIor-Rllndness.

From the testimony of physicians and
railroad officials it is evident blind
ness is rapidly increasing among those
employed in railroad and maritime Dur
suits where the safety of life and prop
erry largely depends upon perfect vision.
Few are unable TO distinguish the cardinal
COlOrs. but their variations give rise TO
frequent confusion and uncertainty A
wel-kuOwu OCuIist said to me the other
day that comparatively few men possess
perfect visual organs in this respect, and
said that out Of each hundred of his pa
tients not more than One-fOurth could at
first sight distinguish between blue and
purple when seen apart, IRd almost as
great a proportion would frequently mis-
take some Of the shades of blue for green,
or vice versa, while blue and purple gave
rise 70 countless mistakes. He blames the
electric lights for much of this color blind
ness, though he does not regard those
lights as responsible to az large extent
for weakness Of vision. ywas unable TO
suggest a remedy for this vii other than
a variation of the sha ~ Of the globes

tFor the Spirit of Jcferson.I
Social Life at Harper's Ferry.

The young ladies of Bolivar and
Camp Hill have just stirred the social
circle from center to circumference.
They seemed to think that they could
.' break the monotony'' with perfect
impunity. Strange to say l?) the
young gentlemen did not dissent
This is leap-Year, you know. Well,
seventeen of our young ladies de-
termined to give a leap-year party
Upon the conception of the idea they
held conference with closed doors,
and did not send the minutes of the
meeting to the boys Madam Rum0r
had the goodness to secretly whisper
10 ears that itched with curiosity
The ladies having consummated their
plans. sent invitations to the gentle-
men about a week prior to the evening
ON which the party was to be given.
Longiugly we waited for the hebdom-
adaI cycle to take us to that most in
teresting occasion. The evening of
the 22d of February was the evening
of evenings; for then it was that the
ladies called at the homes of the in
hItSu ScHGlciICL aid CoSOi GCd llClu W
the sweet home of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
L. Dudrow. This popular gentleman
and his charming wife received us
all with a warm welcome. Then fol-
lowed one of the most delightful eve
nings that we have ever spent. The
gentlemen effeminately took the po-
sition of ladies, while the ladies, with
charming grace and magnetic dignity,
took the position of gentlemen. Hap
piness reigned supreme. Innocent
and edifying merriment was the order
of the evening. Delicious refresh
ments were served by fair hands
The Bolivar Glee Club rendered sweet
music with accustomed enchantment.
A vote of thanks is due Miss Fannie
Baden, two of her brothers, Mr.. Lo-
mar and Mr.. Mauzy. The strangers
present were Miss Halle Heater and
Mr.. John Heater of Bloomington, Ill.
Softly and swiftly the time passed un-
til the hour arrived for us to go home.
Profuse expressions of delight have
been made by all present: For pref
ty. thoughtful and fascinating young
ladies we challenge the State.

Bogus Baking Powder Tests.

Rather ingenious but not less frau
dulant are the pretended tests of bak-
ing powders being made in many of
our kitchens by agents who are trying
to further the sale of n Chicago arti-
Gle. These so-calicd tests consist in
mixing separately, with water. n sam
pie of the baking powder found in the
house and of that carried by the agent.
From that found III the house if a
pure article, the bubbles of gas will rise
and burst on top like those from a
glass of champagne. The Chicago
baking powder which they carry,
when mixed with water, will show an
extra froth upon the top of the mix
ture which is claimed as evidence of
superiority. On the contrary, how
ever, it is not only the exhibition of
a trick, but is absolute proof that the
baking powder which so acts is adul-
terated. The chemists have ascer-
tanned that the aduIterant used is q
chemical added for the express pur-
pose of producing this action and de-
ceiving hOusckecpers as TO the true
value of the baking powder. This is
not only 4 dishonest trick, but a dirty
one. for the chemical is the product
of the filthy refuse of the slaughter
house, and if this baking powder is
used III the preparation of food passes
into the biscuit or cake without
change. Ofconrse, any statements
made in reference to other baking
powders. by parties caught in practic-
ing such tricks as these for the pur-
pose of deceiving the public, will be
entitled to no credit.
1t is probably wiscst in the interest
of our families. and TO prevent our
food from being contaminated by
tramps of this kind, to turn all persons
WHO wish or attempt to tainper with
it unrcrimoniOu>lv from the door, and
to use those articles only which OK
rcri"ncc has proved satisfactory. or
the official tests have established as
pure and wholesome.

TIE ROTsS FEBRUARY LEADER
Referring to this well written article,
the Winchester Times says:
We publish on our first page an
other chunk of mercantile wisdom
from the facile pen of friend G. B.
The reader cannot fail to be inter-
csted in its contents. 1t contains
sound reasoning and is full of good,
hard common sanse, n plenty of which
properly applied will always success
fully carry a man through this mum
dane sphere. The phonetic spelling
adopted by the writer is another at
traction about these leaders which
are not found in any of the CONNER
cial productions of theday. Charley
does everything in his w peculiar
way and strikes the popular chord
about six times in every half dozen
times. He issues each month one
hundred and fifty thousand of his
trade journals, which are distributed
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the orange groves of Florida to
the s~now-capped Green Mountains.
Merchants in most every city, village
and hamlet in the land receive them.
