wbv Albinos Do No. See Well.

According to DR.. A. ID. Williams, the
white, tiaXen hair of Albinos shows that
there is a deficiency of coloring materials
in their bodies. Further proof of this fact
is found in the absence of the necessary
amount of pigment in their eyes. Such per-
sons have pink eyes because there is not
pigment enough in the iris and upon its
posterior surface to prevent the red reflex
of the the fundus from shining through the
iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed
by strong light, because there is not suffi-
cient coloring to prevent the ingress of a
flood of it, the bright glare entering not
only through the pupil, but through the
substance of the iris as well.
The choroid being likewise deficient in
pigment, the excessive amount of light
dazzles and greatly confuses the vision.
Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments
in the choroid prevents the light after it
has acted on the retina from being alb
sorbed, that being the main function of
the choroidal pigment. Albinism Is an
unfortunate condition, as there is no way
to supply the deficient pigment to the iris
and choroid.-St. Louis Republic.

How a Poor Man Studied Law.

The Rev. Dr. George E Ellis says;
There is story about certain distin-
guished orator, lawyer and statesman of
Massachusetts that has never been told,
and daresay the gentleman wouldn't like
to have his nau1o mentioned now. Besides,
the story is very old, and it all happened
something hAe thirty-fve years ago. But
it is a good story, and its value is only very
slightly diminished by the necessity for
Withholding names
AS / say, something like thirty-fve years
ago | lived in the Highlands, and in my
house there was young domestic who Was
very bright and very industrious. One day
/ discovered her in earnest conversation
with a Draw young man at the back gate.
She talked with him long and tenderly,
and when be went away ctaffed her about
her company. But she surprised me very
much by bursting into tears, and declared
that she was ready TO give up her place, but
that she had meant no harm questioned
her further, and discovered that she had
loaned some books out Of my library TO the
young man, and he had come 70 return
them
The Young man was her brother, and he
was studying law, but be had little money
70 buy books with, and be had taken this
means Of pursuing knowledge under diff
cultieS Today men call that young man
general, and If told you his name you'd
be startled, | assure you--COr. 81. Louis

colors are used or selected By royal families

the only royal family OF modern times

il must be confessed that II Is a most eff

Portugal, Prussia, Sweden and most Of

An Americans Experience in England.
Mr Bronson Howard, the dramatis5, is
very fond of tricycling. The other day he
| was touring with friend about fifty miles
from London, ana they stopped at a viii
lage to get something to eat. Just as they
had finished lnneh grave gentleman of
the village came to Mr.. Howard and said:
Eve are having a baby show here.
Would you not like to stop and see the
childrenf'
Nothing would give me greater pleas-
ure," said the dramatist, and he and his
friend went along with rhe old gentleman
TO the village. AS they approached the
grounds the official said to Mr.. Eoward:
Wouldn't you kindly act as judge in
this baby show?"
Mr. Howard answered that II there was
one thing in life that he yearned for it was
TO be judge in baby show, and SO the
procession reached the grounds.
"You see," said the official, Il have acted
as judge myself several times, aud my de-
eisions meet with some dissatisfaction, so
thought it would be better if we had a
stranger"
This was encouraging, so Mr. Howard
told his friend to get the tricycle. ready, 80
that they could escape the moment judG-
ment was rendered.
When they came to the grounds the Off
Cial said in a loud voice:
THE gentleman from London has con-
sented to act as judge"
However, Mr.. Howard managed to get
out of the dilemma very automatically.
An old woman of ninety -eight was intro
duced to him as the oldest inhabitant, and
the gallant dramatist at once said that she
was the very party to act as judge of the
babies, as she had ever so much more ex-
perience in that line thad he had. So
while the old lady was chucking the
babies under the chin, Mr. Howard and
his friend escaped on the swift and noise
less tricycle.-Detroit Free Press.

The Secret of Won sIoItke,s Sncc.ss

The basis of Moltke's success was prepa-
ration, precision. For years thequiet man
had bent every energy to detail He had
devoted no time to show work; he cared
naught for the outward parade of efficiency.
He had made sure that what the army was
on paper it was in effect; that every man
and officer was ready, and knew his place
and duty; that mobilization should mean
actual assembly. Every uncertain element
was eliminated. As far as lay within hu-
man power the war had been reduced to a
mathematical calculation. Colonel L. A.

AFTERGlOW.

After the suns last ray
Has left the meuntain.s crest
Taking the golden day
To landx of the waiting west;
After the darkness fails
Swift on the parting hour.
After the night inthralls
Vine laced lane and tower;
Like fiushes Of early dawn
With rose tints permeate,
Up from the glory gone,
Springs glory re-create,
Over the realms Of cloud.
Over the earth below,
And night holds back her shro1d
In the splendor OF aftergi0w.
After the light of love
Fades il hopeless night,
A glory from above
Fills the heart with after-fight.
And when Gfe's bright ray
Leaveth its loved in woe,
The hearts it loved find day
In its beautiful afterglow.

A Talking Canary.

It seems almost incredible that a canary
could be taught to speak; nevertheless,
there have been well authenticated cases in
which this seemingly impossible feat has
been accomplished.
The most notable instance was that of a
canary exhibited in London in 1858, and it
had NEST remarkable history. It's parents
had previously successfully reared several
broods, but in the early part of the year
in question Matched out but one of four
eggs. Strange to say, they entirely neg
lected the little one, and Immediately re-
built a nest over it, The owners of the
birds accidentally discovered this fact and
removed the forsaken one almost dead. It
was placed in flannel by the fire, and after
the greatest attention was restored and
raised by hand.
The fact of its being treated in this man
ner, separated from all other birds, caused
it to become very familiar with its foster
parents, and its first singing notes were en-
tirely different from those uttered by Or
binary canaries. Being continually adj
dressed in endearing terms by it's mistress,
it astonished her one day by suddenly re-
peating the words ''Kissiel kissieW This
became an everyday occurrence, and from
time to time other terms Were added to it's
vocabulary.
For hours together, except during the
melting season, this extraordinary bird
would call out in tones almost as clear as
if uttered by human voice, such sem
fences as Dear, sweet TitchieI'-the name
given it by it's mistress-~Kiss Minnie.'
kiss me, dear Minniep' |<Ktssiel kiesie.
kissie, sweet little Titchie4" "Wee4 gee
gee, Titchie, sweet Titchien 1t also devel-
oped faculty for whisthng, the first bar
of God Save the Queen" being it's fayorite
air.
Another talking canary is said to have
been exhibited in London in 1888, but all
authorities agree that it was in no way
equal to the one Observation-Disclosures Free
