TIE Human Eve.

Science gives us interesting details about
what the human eye has been and what it
has become. The Vedas of India, which
are the most ancient written documents,
attest that at times most remote but still
recorded in history, only two colors were
known-black and red. A very long time
ELAPSED before the eye could perceive
the color yellow, and still longer time
before green could be distinguished !;
and it is remarkable that in the most
ancient language the term which desig-
mated yellow ipsensibly passed to the sig
MITIGATION of green. The Greeks had.
according to the generally received opin-
ion, the perception of colors very highly
developed, and yet authors of more re
cent 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. 1t is thus
the colors in the rainbow were only dis
tinguished gradually, and the great Aris-
totle only knew four of them. 1t is
well knc sn fact that when the colors
of the prism are photographed there
remains outside the limit OF the blue and
violet In the spectrum distinct impress
sion which our eyes do not recognize as
color. Psychologists tell US that it is
to suppose that as the color
organ becomes highly developed, and even
before the human eve becomes perfect,
this outside band will evolve into color
perfectly. observable &C hscago Times.

Co-Educaticn.

Olive Thorne Miller says in Harper's
Bazaar: In my Judgment, it is a good
thing for little girl to attend school
where boys are also sent. l believe heart
lily and fully in CO education. The Creator,
who placed boys and girls together in
families, where the association of brothers
and sisters is mutually helpful, knew
what was best for humanity. Wherever
the experiment has been squarely and
squarely tried, results show that school
work can be carried on by classes of both
sexes with an absence of silly self-con-
seriousness, without premature precocity,
and to the advantage of both girls and
boys.
If you want to see sickly sentimentality,
an absurd ideal of 1.-The gentleman, ut
terly false notions of love and marriage
and life generally, go to girls seminary,
where daughters and sisters are walled in
and guarded as though their brothers were
raging lions, seeking whom they might
devour. Also, if you want to see immoral
ity, bad habits, lowmindedness, and dis
respect for women, 60 to boys school,
where the same policy is observed. Take
note also of another point: This system
of isolation keeps the young peoples
thoughts upon each other, leads, there
fore, to clandestine correspondence and
evils of many kinds.
On the contrary, let them work to-
gether. There is no sentimental halo
about the classmate who misses in his les
sons, who blunders in bis examples. There
is no disrespect and scorn of "girls" from
youth who sees them we'll able to hold
their own, and to stand beside if not above
him in Intellectual exercises. Beside this,
it works in another way almost as valua-
BILE; girls are broadened in their outlook
on life, and boys are refined and civilized
in their manners. Both learn the true,
the honest, the natural way of looking at
each other, and are prepared to enter life
together as they should and must. Be-
lieye mel the Creator, who shows wis
dom in the smallest atom that lives, did
not blunder when He put boys and girls
together into the arms of one mother, to
come up under one roof.

conclusion in blasting out cellars on the

the vibration caused by the trains varies
with their different speeds and weights,
but it is always so noticeable that glass

is passing will raise wavelet on the sur

The Blacksmith's Apron.
WHY 1T Is ALWAYS SLIT, AND GENERALLY
FRINGED ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM

WHY IT Is ALWAYS SLIT, AND GENERALLY
FRINGED ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM
Every one knows that blacksmith
wears leather apron, and must have
noticed that this apron is slit and often
fringed at the bottom. AS an English
legend, it is related that, once upon q
time, Alfred the Great called all the trades
together to appoint trades king. He
declared that he would make that man
king who could best get on without the
help of others for the longest period. He
made feast and asked a workman from
each trade to come and bring a specim N
of his work and the tools used in making
it. The blacksmith brought a hammer
and horseshoe the tailor brought his
shears and a new coat /; the baker his peel
and loaf the shoemaker his awl and
q new pair of shoes the carpenter his
saw and nice box the butcher his chop
per and Joint, and the mason his chisel
and carved stone.
The tailor's coat was of such SURPRISING
beauty that all the guests declared them
selves bsaten and the horseshoe, the
bread, the shoes, the box, the meat and
the carved stone were all thrown aside
The tailor was pronounced trades king by
Alfred, and was duly installed. The
blacksmith was angry, and declared that
he would do no more work while the
tailor was king, and actually shut up
his sht and disappeared.
One day as King Alfred was riding
along, his horse cast shoe, and he was
the first to need the services of a black
smith, but he could not get into the shop.
Then all the 9th r tradesmen, including
the tailor, tried to shoe the kings horse ;
but each one not only failed, but broke his
tools, and could not carry on his proper
business till they were mended.
King Alfred and the tradesmen then
broke open the shop and tried to use the
tools. The king tried to
shoe his horse, the tailor to mend his
shears, and each one endeavored to repair
bis tools.
About this time the blacksmith walked
in, looking very angry. The king, how
ever, made humble bow and said: 81
was wrong to be led as ray by the gaudy
color of coat, snd /, now revoke my
decision, and declare the blacksmith
king" All the trades, except the deposed
tailor, begged the smith to mend their
tools. So he shod the kings horse, and
mended the tools of all who had asked
him but, in order to show his magnan-
unity, he made the tailor brand new
pair Of shears.
The tailor, however did not reciprocate
,he blacksmith's kindness, but, while the
others were singing crawled uuder the
able and slit the blacksmith's leathern
apron, and cut the lower edge intoS regu-
lar fringe. From that day no true black
smith has ever thought of wearing an
apron that was not slit aud fringed at the
bottom. -Electrica5 Re0ieso.

A Spider-Web Telepho ne.

While gentleman was watching some
spiders last summer, it occurred to him to
try what effect tuning fork would have
on the insects. He suspected that they
would regard the sound just as they were
in the habit IF regarding the sound of
fly. And sure enough they did. He
selected large, ugly spider. that had
been feasting on flies for two months.
The spider was at one edge of the web.
Sounding the fork, he touched a thread
at the other side of the web, and watched
the result. : Mr.. Spider had the buzzipg
sound conveyed to him over his telephone
wires, but how was he to know on which
particular wire the sound was traveling2
He ran to the center of the web very
quickly, and felt all around until he
touched the thread against the other end
of which the fork was sounding. Then
taking another thread along, just as a
man would take an extra piece of rope, he
ran out to the fork and sprang upon it.
But he reiterated little way, and looked
at the fork. He was puzzed. He had
expected to find buzzing fly. He got on
the fork again, and danced with delight.
He had caught the sound of the fly, and
it was music to him.-Harper's Young

Not Good for Shingles.

Parson Brown, who loves a joke, though
it be at his own expense, is fond of relating
his experience in circulating subscription
paper for the purpose of raising funds to
shingle church. Among others he
called on merchant who was liberal
man where the subject is praiseworthy. In
the present instance he subscribed IS.
Shortly afterwsrd the parson called to
collect the amount, but the merchant,
having had occasion to pay out all his
money that day, informed the clergyman
of the facs and invited him to call again.
This did not exactly accord with the par
sons views. Looking around the store he
discovered kit of mackerel which he
thought might easily be converted into
cash.
chow much for mackerel?" he asked.
"Five dollars kit" replied the mer-
chant.
"Well, if you have no objection, I'll
take that kit for your subscription.
"All right. parson," said the merchant,
heartily. you're welcome to anything in
the store to the amount of SIS; but though
mackerel are famous for making a man
dry, / wouldn't single my church with
them if were you. "-Leaoistom Journal.
