ling statement that there are 60, 900 boy

SOIICITOR-GE NERAL CHAPMAN has rem
dered an opinion, which was approved by
the encouragement, that railway mail
clerks who were appointed prior to May l,
but failed to take the oath of Office till
after that date. can legally hold their posi-
tions. The railway mail service became
amendable to civil-service rules on May l,
and the question was raised whether clerks
who did not qualify till after that date
were not required to pass an examination
Relations to the Color Sensations.
It is thought that when we see a red
light certain nerves in the eye are affected,
and convey a peculiar sensation to the brain
that we call red. These nerves are sensi-
tive to red light, but are not sensitive to
degree. Another set of nerves in the eve
are peculiarly sensitive to green light and
still another set are affected by violet light.
Hence the sensations caused by these three
colors are called the three elementary color
+lo Of
these sometimes come countless shades of
color. When one of these colors falls on
the eye we see it distinctly. When two
say the red and the green meet the eye,
both sets of the nerves are affected at once,
and we get a sensation that is neither red
nor green, but yellow In the same man
ner when green or violet meet in the eye
the two sets of nerves are excited and we
see, not green and violet, but blue. In the
same manner, if red, green and violet light
enters the eye all the nerves are excited at
once, and we see not three colors but one,
which is white.
Talmadges Church Burned at Brooklyn.
New YoRK-The famous Brooklyn tab
ernacle, of which Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
madge, D. D., is pastor, was, Sunday, for
the second time in its history, totally de-
stroyed by fire. At 2:15 o'clock Sunday
morning a policeman discovered flames is
suing from the small windows over the
main entrance. and, rushing to the nearest
signal-bOx, sent an alarm. The fremen
found the fire had assumed large proper
tions. and additional alarms, calling all
available apparatus, were at once sent IN.
1t became evident that the edifce was
doomed to destruction. 1t burned like a
finder box, and the fremen, despairing of
saving it, directed their efforts to the adj
joining property. Many of the occupants
of the neighb0ring dwellings were al
ready awake, and the police proceeded to
arouse those who were sleeping. The
three-story frame structure at 353 Scher-
merhorn street. adjoining the church ON
the east side, was the first to take FIRE. and
355. similar structure, followed; 357 was
also damaged.
Hercu1ean Strength
Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at inter-
walls, is far less desirable than ordinary vigor
perpetuated by rational diet and exercise and alb
stention from excess. Professional pugilists and
athletes rarely attain old age. As ordinary vigor
may be retained by wise regard for sanitary
living and for the protection against disease
which timely and Judicious medication affords,
so also it may be lost through prolonged seden-
tary labor, uninterrupted mental strain, and fool
ish eating and drinking the chief and most i'm
mediate sequence of all four being dyspepsia. For
this condition thus in any way induced, and for
its offspring, failure of muscular and nerve
power, Hostetters Stomach Bitters is the primest
and most genial of remedies. Not only indiges-
ton, but loss of flesh, appetite and sleep
edied by it. Incipient malaria and rheumatism
are banished, and kidney, bowel and liver COM
plant removed by it
