Color Blindness.

Professor Herring undertook a series of
observations upon three normal-sighted
persons, namely, upon himself and his two
assistants, Doctor Biedermanu and Doctor
Shilling. These experiments were designed
to elicit whether any constant differences
could be detected in the color judgments
of the three normal sighted persons who
were the subject of experiment. The ques-
ton proposed for judgment was the de-
termination of the point at which a red
which had been graduated off on the one
side into a blue red and on the other into
yellow red, could be regarded as at the
neutral point at which it did not incline
either to the one or the other of these col
ors. When the matter was put to the ex-
perimental test in this manner, constant
differences were actually discovered to OBJ
tain between the judgments of the three
individual observers.
The one observer, DIR. Biedermann, in all
cases still continued to see a yellowish tinge
when the red proposed for judgment had
already, in the judgment of the two other
observers, long ceased to contain any trace
of yellow. Similarly, when it was ques-
ton of transition from a blue red to pure
red, the blue faded out from the red first
to DR.. Biedermann, next to Professor Her
ing, and last of all to DR.. Shilling. In
fact DR.. Biedermann had regularly begun
to see a yellow shade in the red before it
had well ceased to have a blue shade for
DR.. Shilling. Professor Herring was ascer-
tanned to occupy a kind of intermediate
position in respect to his susceptibility
to yellow and blue rays.-Nineteenth Cen

An Imprisoned Genius.

Alberto Topaz, who was taken to
Yuma recently to serve a two years
term for burglary gave his personal eff
fects to his friends about the Jail.
Deputy Barry was presented with fac
simile of the Episcopal church made
out of pasteboard. Topaz could see the
church from one of the Jail windows,
and he reproduced it almost perfectly.
He borrowed knife from Deputy Sheri-
dan with which he cut up the paste
board, and then made paste from flour
with which to stick the pieces together.
1t is piece of workmanship to be proud
of. The greatest production of Topaz
while confined in jail here is a reproduc-
ton of the magnificent Merchants ex-
change building in Guadalajara. The
entire affair is constructed of paper.
On the inside of the building are the
stairways, etc, each perfect in its con-
struction. The prisoner must be pos
sessed of a memory much stronger than
most men are, to remember every detail
of that large structure for a number of
years. However much genius the man
possessed, he has made bad use of it.

Making the Bench.

A good story is told of United States
senator who began life as a carpenter.
II will not always be a carpenter" he
used to declare. for it seems he had set his
heart upon some time entering the legal
profession He did not slight his carpen-
ter's work for his day dreams of what he
should do and become but was noted for
his honest, conscientious labor
One day the young man was planning a
board that was to become a part of a
Judges bench" when a friend. observing
his painstaking, inquired:
"Why do you take so much pains to
smooth that board?"
Instantly the young carpenter replied:
Because l want smooth seat when
come to sit on it..
His friend laughed and thought the joke
so good that he reported it in the shop, and
the young man was bantered not little
about the Judges bench" He always
replied, good naturally;
wait and see. He laughs who wins,
and | may sit there yet"
And he did; but the distance between
the carpenters and judges bench was
paved with heroic struggles and self sacri-
fce.-Youth's Companion.

Sunstroke stoTs thewedding of 75 and e5.
A marriage was interrupted Thursday
night by the groom becoming suddenly
overcome with the heat and he had TO
be taken to his hotel, where he has been
confined to his bed ever since.
The groom in question is Mr.. W. S.
Fowler who boards at the Enterprise
hotel. Until short while ago lie con-
Quoted a livery stable on East Market
street, but retired about a year ago with
comfortable fortune. Mr.. Fowler is
widower, seventy-tive years old, and
has several grown children. A short
while ago he met Miss Lille Townsend,
young woman twenty-five years of
age, who is employed by j. Bacon g. Sons
at the glove counter.
The courtship did not last long till the
engagement was announced. Mr.. Fowl
er's children, it seems, objected strongly
to the marriage and did everything in
their power to break off the match. They
We're unsuccessful, however. and June
Is, the day set for the marriage, arrived.
The wedding was to take place where
Miss Townsend has boarded for several
years. Everything was in readiness at
the time appointed-the guests, the min
lister and the happy couple.
Just before the time for the ceremony
Mr.. Fowler became very faint and
would have fallen but for the support of
one of the guests. He soon lost con-
seriousness and was taken to the Enter
prise hotel in a carriage, where he was
put to bed and the doctor summoned.
His condition was found not to be seri-

Scared BY a Voice in the Box.

A baggageman on a midnight train,
while taking on board the usual load of
freight and baggage, placed to one side a
parrot cage. Further up the line, at a
small station, he took ON board a corpse,
and as the next stopping place was long
distance, the baggageman, in order to be
comfortable for the ride, stretched himself
at full length on the coffin.
He had not ridden far when to his great
horror he heard issuing as he supposed
from the coffin these words, LET me out. "
The baggageman Immediately made up
his mind to get out, but was stopped at
the end of the car by the mail agent. They
decided to investigate the matter, and
while thus engaged again heard, Let me
out" in decided tones.
They determined to open the coffin and
hberate the corpse, when to their great
surprise they heard the same voice ex-
claim, "Polly wants a crackerp That
solved the mystery.-New York Recorder

Troublesome Seals.

The salmon fishermen down the river
and bay are having trouble this spring
from the seals, as usual. These pests
are multiplying rather than decreasing
and are causing great losses to the weirs.
While the seals of the arctic regions
have the reputation of being slow,
stupid animals, hunters killing them
with clubs, those on the Maine coast
are the sharpe-s game to be found.
They will go in and out of the salmon
weirs, either by force or strategy, and
eat all the fish they want. They are
very hard to get shot at, and when hit
sink to the bottom. the carcass thus
being lost to the gunner. One fisher
man remarked on a recent Saturday
that there was a small fortune in store
for the man who would invent a trap
that would catch seals and hold them.
The bounty upon them doesn't seem TO
do a bit of good. Bangor (Me.) Com

At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
new telephone line between Paris and

"Choke or, in English Prisons.

The greater number of men who daily
complain of sickness in a convict prison
are undoubtedly shamming in order to OBJ
tain lighter labor or a spell in the hospital.
Generally it is no easy task to impose upon
an experienced prison doctor, and fly
men" trying it on have to devise and con
trive the most ingenious of lodges to
throw dust into his eyes. In most cases
the medico is too sharp for the knowing
gentleman and prescribes, by way of re
prisal, dose of-what convicts term
choke off ;" to be taken there and then.
Choke Off is compounded of several of
the nastiest and most nauseous drugs in

insure lasting impression on the palate,
1t takes days-so have been assured-to
get the taste of this horrible mixture out
of the mouth; and as garlic and asafoetida
are two of its ingredients, the sense of

No Buyer for Raleigh's Youghan House

Sir Walter Raleigh's Irish home in
Youghall. County Cork, which belonged
to the late Sir John Pope Hennessy, NJ.
P, was put up for sale by Messrs. E. &
H. Lumley, in the Auction mart. To-

specimen of Elizabethan architecture
1t was there that Sir Walter smoked
the first pipe of tobacco in Ireland and
received an unexpected bath from a
faithful servant maid, who, on seeing
the blue smoke emerging from her mas
ter's mouth and curling around his head,
thought Sir Walter was falling a victim
to spontaneous combustion and threw a
pail of cold water over him to extinguish
the confagration. Only 81, $50 was bid
for the property, which was according
ly bought in by the auctioneer, who
said he could not think of selling his
torical mansion like it for such a figure.

How the board should BE Out.

Men with long thin faces should have
round boards, if any. But if a mans face
is abnormally round and fat he should
wear an imperial " as the narrow, long
variety of the Vandyke beard is called,
Oddly enough, it is the Americans who
chiefly favor this form, though their faces,
being long and narrow, need it less than
any other and would often be improved by
a round, full beard, trimmed rather short.
There is one good argument against the
beard which ought to have some weight
1t nearly always robs the head of hair. 1t
is very seldom that man can maintain a
luxuriant growth of both after the age of
40 Perhaps this may be one reason that
whenever long'beards have been worn the
hair has been cut short, and whenever the
head locks have been permitted to be long
the beard has almost entirely disappeared.
1t is a mistake for short men to wear the
beard too long. The head should be a little
less than oue-soventh the length Of the
whole body, and the capillary addition to
its size throws it quite out of proportion,
On a very tall man, inclined to leanness
and angularity, a long beard is almost
equally mistake unless he should happen
to be so bountifully supplied by nature
that he can have it of width proportionate
to its length and so thick as to convey an
idea Of almost superabundant fullness He
will probably pay for this, however, by
being very bald on the top of his head. -

A curious custom that once prevailed in
the south more widely than in the north
was that of giving the woman whom one
invited for a drive or outing small sum
with which to buy flowers, fruit or con-
fectionery to enhance the pleasure of the
event. This money which probably varied
with the fortunes Of the gallant, was
called pin money" A writer in Good
Housekeeping tells of n young married
woman, now a grandmother, who encoun-
tered the custom many years ago in Sara
toga, when that place was still the resort
of good southern families. She had been
invited to drive with stately old school
sOthern gentleman and his daughter, and
after she had accepted the invitation to
her surprise the father opened his hand
some purse and gave her a silver dollar

crease in receipts, as it now seems prob
able at least that the stringency which
has prevailed for so long is about at an

and internal revenue have brought the

gaining slowly. The situation is regarded

Assembled THAT dempsey was the Ret
ter Man. He was Unable to knock out
the Australian.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-Tack Dempsey
and Billy Mccarthy, Of Australia. fought
last night i'm the arena Of the Auditorium
Athletic club before very large audience.
Both men We're carefully trained, the ex-
nonpareil having fitted on the coast Of
Georgia and in the gymnasium Of the
Young Mems Gymnastic club, Of this
city. Mccarthy has been in constant
training for two mouths at Captain
Smiths quarters in the upper district Of
this city. Both men entered the ring,
followed by their seconds, at 9 o'clock,
each receiving a good share of applause,
but the greeting given to Dempsey clearly
showed that his friends were in the ma
jority The contest was confined TO twenty
rounds. Interested spectators were Bob
Fitzsimmons and Stanton Abbott.
John Duffy entered the ring few mo
ments after o'clock to take charge as
referee. Dempsey weighed in at l46
pounds, Mccarthy weighing 154 pounds,
the exact limit. Time was called at 9:i5
o'clock
First Round-Mac led for the stomach
Dempsey missed right swing for the
head. Mac was on the aggressive. Demp-
sey scored body blow. Dempsey landed
right on the head. Both landed heavy
swings on the head, Both men landed
left on the jaw and both scored heavy
swings
Second Round-Mac scored a right on
the body. Both landed blows on the head
The Australian was aiming for the body
and Dempsey for the head. Dempsey
missed a left swing for the head and
caught the Australian on the nose mo-
ment later. Dempsey scored a heavy
blow on the neck and landed on the body
a moment later but received a left handler.
Mccarthy was caught by a heavy left
hand swing on the jaw. This was Jacks
round.
Third Round-Dempsey landed left on
the nose, and the men clinched. McCar-
thy missed two vicious rights, but ran
into heavy right on the jaw. Dempsey
landed another right on the Jaw nearly
knocking Mccarthy down. The Austria
liam received terrible punishment in this
round.
Fourth Round-Dempsey landed a
heavy left on his opponents nose and got
away. Both men scored blows on the
head. Mac missed left lead for the body.
Dempsey landed heavy swing on the
stomach, and moment later in the same
spot. Mac ducked into heavy uppercut,
and got it again with the right on the
head before he could recover This was
another Dempsey round.
From the fifth round out Dempsey did
most of the execution though Mac got in
a few vicious blows on the head and body
of his opponent. While it was evident to
the spectators that Dempsey was the bet
ter man, he was unable to knock his op-
ponent out, and the referee was therefore
obliged to declare the bout a draw, the
purse of 81 600 being divided.
