the generally received opinion. the per-
ception Of colors very highly developed,
and yet authors Of q more recent date
assure us that in the time of Alexander
the Great the Greek painters knew but
four colors. viz: white, black. red and
yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Greeks in the most
ancient times Of their history. they
calling these colors gray and black. It
is thus the colors in the rainbow were
only distinguished gradually. and the
great Aristotle only knew four of them.
It is we'll known fact that when the
colors of the prism are photographed
there remains outside the limit of the
blue and violet in the spectrum OF a
distinct impression which our eyes do
not recognize as color. Psychologists
tells us that it is reasonable to suppose
that as the color organ becomes more
highly developed, and even before the
human eve becomes perfect, this out
side band will evolve into a color per-
fectly discernable.

Buffalo Bills Disooverer.

Had it not been for Col. E. z. G.. judi
son, better known to lovers Of sensa-
tional fiction as 'sNed Buntline," it is
more than probable that Buffalo Bill
would never have created such furore
abroad, that he would not have been
beard of outside of Nebraska. where
his home is situated. Judson, travel
ing overland, ran across Cody, was
captivated by him and made him the
hero of several blood-curdlIng prairie
romances. Bill was famous IN short
order and was shrewd enough to see his
opportunity and grasp it. People out
in Nebraska say that he never killed
but one Indian, and that was an acct
dent, and that what he doesn't know
about the scout business would ELL a
large book, But that is neither here
nor there. We do not seek to establish
the merits of the report, but to impress
you with the fact that went you want

Curious Marriage Custom.

The marriage customs in some parts
of Brittany are very curious. In Cor
nouaille, for instance, the village tailor
is the important parsonage to whom
the candidate for maJrimony applies
for a list of eligible girls. Hav-
ing selected one, the tailor at
once proceeds to the maiden's father,
CARRYING wand broom-which gives
him the title of BaEvalan. the name OF
the plant. He is dressed for the occa
sion IN official stockings, one Of which
is of violet color and the other red, and
with him are the sutton and his nearest
relative. Whilst the family chiefs are
making their ARRANGEMENTS, the lovers
retire to the end of the house and dis
course their own ''sweet music" 1t is
necessary that the engaged pair them
selves should put an end to the term of
the negotiation. They approach, hold
ing each other by the hand, TO the table
where their respective parents or rela-
tives are seated. when bread. wine and
brandy are brought in. The young man
and the maiden eat with the same knife
and drink out Of the same cup, and the
day for union is then agreed upon.

The Youngest ''Orim1nal."

It is not often that people hear Of the
release of q prisoner aged 8 months
after two months incarceration! But
queer things happen under a coercion
act which gives unlimited power to
removable magistrates and nurtures a
system of police. says the Dublin Free
mans journal. The distinction of re-
moving a. mauvais sujet Of the tender
age of month has been reserved for
Mr.. Balfour, and to our brave chief
secretary is also due the credit Of keep

came so ENDANGERED that liberation was
declared to be essential to it's existence
We refer, we need hardly add, to Mrs.
Morr1ssey's baby, who, with her mother,
had been received at Clongorey with
great enthusiasm. Mrs. MorrisseY was
sent to Jail for refusing to remove the
huts which had been erected for the
eyicted tenants in Mrs, Mrs. Kelly's
farm at C]ongorey. Neither che utter

prisonment. The incident was as cruel
as it was mean, and is eminently sug-
gestive of Mr., Balfour's system of
firm government. Mrs. Morrissey's
husband is still confined in Kilkenny
jail. Mr.. J. f, MCCARTHY, j. T., by the
vigilant and efficient discharge of his
duties as visiting justice to Grange
german prison, performed an act of
great humanity. MIR. Mccarthy had
visited the unhappy mother and her
poor little mother more than once, and
made note at last on the book that he
saw great change for the worse in the
appearance of the child. Mr.. Carew
and Mr.. Sexton, M.P.'s, were commu
nicated with, and they asked questions
in the House. Gallant ME- Balfour,
knight Of Primrose Danes, replied that

child was serious. But both mother
and child were liberated on Sunday.
Bravo. Mr.. Mccarthy.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Monsignor O'ConneN Thinks the Cues

Nonsipnor O'ConnelI Thinks the Cues
lion will Be Fairly Settled.
Monsignor O'Connell, President of the
American College at Rome, after six
months stay in this country, has left
for home. Before leaving, Monsignor
D'Connell talked about the strength of
the Church in this country, and al
iuded to the school question. He said:
IT do not see why an amicable settle
ment Of the school question could not
be arrived at. It seems to me, how
,ver, that the question is more debated
by the newspapers than by the episoo-
pate. In the last plenary council of the
Church in the United States all that the
Bishops Lad to say was that the faith
full should be provided with correct and
improved schools. The Catholic epis-
sopacy in the United States is very
prudent and conservative body, and
there is no doubt whatever that they
will know how to handle the question
IN accordance with the best interests of
She Church and tho country. One of the
troubles is that the utterances Of many
irresponsible persons are taken as ut
.erances from the Church"
The subject Of the possibility Of the
Pope's departure from Rome as place
IF residence was then preached, the gist
ST DR.. O'Connell's remarks being that
there is no likelihood that Leo XIII.
will ever leave the city. On this point
The "Catholic Mirror" says:
eve are in position to say, upon
The authority of the Pope's own public
of his intentions, that Leo
XIII. never at any time, neither year
ago nor before nor since. considered
The question Of abandoning Rome, for
the simple reason that, as far as he is
soncerned, there never has been any
such question. There may have been .
time-there still may be-when the
Pope would be forced out of Rome, but
that he has never entertained the idea
Of abandoning the Eternal City does
not admit Of doubt"

REPRESENTATION.
Why Women Lay So Much Stress on the
Possession of the Ballot.

Why Women Lay So Much Stress on the
Possession of the Ballot.
In very interesting contribution to the
WOman's Penny Paper, Mrs. Mona Card
writes as follows on the subject Of woman
suffrage: ut is often asked, Why do you
lay SO much stress on the possession of the
franchise? What good will it do you?
w hat, one might demand in reply, is the
good OF representative government? IL
votes are mere useless baubles, why, in the
name of common sense do men continue to
carry on the Government by these means
Why do we still have representative law
makers? Women ask to share the advan-
tages Of the system, be it good CT bad; hay-
ing, perfOrce, to share the drawbacks. II
the voting system be considered bad, I'M
happy indeed must be the plight of those
who live under it, enduring the disastrous
consequences without even such redress as
can be obtained through its privileges.
Political rights are the mere groundwork
OF freedom and its safeguard They are
needed net simply to protect interests. but
as the sign and symbol of citizenship, for
their absence is direct slur a badge of sery-
itude. In demanding the vote there is
no necessity to prove that the Interests OF
the DISTINGUISHED are neglected. A free
born human being demands more than
guarded interests. He demands the OppOr-
luniIy OIL guarding them himself. a q
matter OF fact, however, men have not
guarded the interests of women On the
contrary, their laws are full of injustice,
and Of cruel insult to womanhoOd. There
is. indeed, no occasion to be too bitter
against men for this very human abuse Of
power; both sexes abuse power when they
ENJOY 1t unchecked; II is sufficient to de-
mand and to demand persistently and I'M
tirngly that men shall accord to women the
right so dear 10 themselves, Of having a
voice in making the laws which they have
to obey. need not in this paper insist fur
Their upon so Obvious principle, but in
urging women to come forward en- masse to
claim their political rights, and to do SO es-
pecially at the present juncture, when
strong effort may do SO much to press the
cause forward rapidly, | would remind
them that the removal OF political disabili-
ties is merely the first step OF great social
progress which the future has in store for

A Great Victory.

One great victory achieved by American
women more than by American men, in
some respects, has just received the seal of
approval from the Supreme Court of the
United States, which has affirmed the right
OF the Government to confiscate the proper
ty Of the Mormon Church. 1t was, above
all things, the sense of right of American
women that inspired the fight against the
Mormons, which is now ending in victory.
They realized that the sanctity of the family
was at stake above all things, and on this
ground the contest was maintained with
unremitting perseverance,. Had it been an
affair for men alone, politics would doubt
less have entered into the question, and
the result would certainly have been much
longer delayed. Not only have women in
spired the war, but several women have
taken an active part in it on the lecture
platform and elsewhere.-The Illustrated
