Oddities Of Color Blindness

While the number of color-blind
persons is not very large, only about
five in every hundred suffering from
any defect in this respect, and most Of
those being affected only in minor
degree, yet the phenomenon some
times assumes very remarkable
phases.
Captain Abney recently stated that
he had found two persons who pos
sessed monochromatic vision, that is
to say, all colors appeared to them
to be simply different shades of gray.
II the reader will look at a photo
graph OF a landscape, or better, of q
garden filled with brilliant flowers, he
will be able to form an idea Of the APP
pearance which nature must present
to one who suffers from the infliction
called monochromatic vision.
One can sometimes initiate the eff.
fects OF color-b blindness through over
fatigue of the eye. Thus Mr.. Brett,
the English painter, told the members
OF the Royal Astronomical Society
not long ago, that in painting scar
lot geranium, after working at it for a
quarter OF an hour, the artist will not
know that it is scarlet at all, but will

JACK AND THE STEERS
he Didn't Lie About Them, But He Con.
cealed Something

he Didn't Lie About Them, But He Con.
cealed Something.
There once resided near Kansas
City an old farmer who believed in
every boy starting out for himself.
but his son Jack. alazy. shiftless fell
low, was OF an entirely different
opinion. However the old. man
finally persuaded him to 60 to Kansas
and take up land. Jack was fitted
out with yoke of oxen. a good sup
ply OF tools and a very small supply
OF money as his father thought that
he could not starve so long as he
had the means of earning his bread.
and that an empty stomach would in
duce him to do work which other
wise he would never perform. For a
long time Jack did not come home, re-
lates the Detroit Free Press, but at
last a letter arrived requesting the
Old man to Immediately send him
money to buy another yoke of oxen,
as those that he had taken with him
nae died aviolent death. The farmer
was far too wise to send any cash,
ouC ne desired to- encourage the boy
ana so he picked out the two very
best steers he had and shipped them
without delay. =.
After another interval of silence a.
second letter came announcing that
these steers had also died, and urging
the necessity of an immediate remit
lance AS winter was fast approach
Ing and the Kansas climate did not
seem to agree with cattle, the farmer
decided not to send any more steers
just then. but sent instead an old sup
erannuated lInare called Dolly, with
which he thought his son could man.
age to gather in his crops. In about
month note arrived, short and to
the point as follows:
Terrible billiards and no crops:
am now living off Dolly's last leg;
send money at once or I will starve to
death. JACK -,
The money was sent and Jack told
to come home. When he arrived he
looked as if the Kansas billiards had
been practiclng with his clothes.
Jack, " said his father why did
you lie about those steers?"
Il didn't" answered Jack Il told
you that they had died violent
death. but I did not think it necessary
to add that had killed them myself
to keep from starving" :.
At last accounts Jack was still pa
tiently waiting for his fathers shoes.

COULDN'T FORGET HIM,

Preferred Silent Waiter When Tips
Were Considered.
The patron looked like a generous
man. and after the waiter had served
the order he lowered about the table.
He evidently had been trained on the
idea that good waiter is practically
a noiseless one who says nothing.
Steak all right sah?' he asked.
Il haven't tried it yet " replied the
patron coldly.
The waiter said .:All right sab. -
and moved to the other side of the
table. When the steak had been tried
he ventured:
Rare enough sah?"
1t will do" was the reply.
There~was another pause and then
the waiter asked:
Potatoes cooked right, sah?"
The patron becizoned him to come
nearer.

Il supposed everything would be all
right"
Yes. sah."
Il took it for granted. and ordered

II never hear of any one beng

sputtered and pushed until I was near
the shore, when my breast struck
something, and as dropped my legs
they struck something which soon
found to be mud"
Didn't anybody go to your assist
ance?"
"No. They stood on the shore
laughing at me, and when I found I
had run ashore they wanted to know
if they should send for tug to pull
me of. When I made an investiga-
tion I found the water was not over
four feet deep in the deepest part, and
that I could have waded ashore with
the greatest ease. I was mad, of
course, but after Igot on dry land
could see the ludicrous side of the
affair, and I have @ hearty chuckle to
myself every time I think OF it now,
although it happened a good many
