Sense of Color.

According to Prof. Hugo Magnus, Of
Breslau, the visual capacity or sense
CT color varies, not only with the in
dividual. but with the civilization Of
a people, At first the human retina is
insensible to colors, and only a gray
more or less clear, is visible. Later on
red and yellow are seen, these colors
corresponding to light of the greatest
wave length. Thus neither the an
cient hymns of the Vedas, nor the
end-Avesta, nor the Old Testament
speak of the blue sky. Homer (as Mr..
Gladstone remarks) and Ezekiel do not
appear to have been sensible of all the
tints of the rainbow; Zenophenus des-
cribes them as purple, red, and green
ish yellow; Aristotle adds the blue. In
Hebrew and Assyrian the colors yellow
and green, and In Arabic blue and
black, are often COMPOUNDED.

Indian Dogs

Kickapoo Indians are very fond Of
dogs, both alive and fricassed. Around
their tepees or wickiups there always
is half dozen wolfish dogs. An Indian
dog hates a white man as far as he can
see him, and loves an Indian as far as
he can smell him, and that is saying a
good deal. When a white man driv-
ing through the Kickapoo country sees
a dog by the roadside, his natural i'm
pulse is to whistle in friendly way.
But the instant you whistle to an In
dian dog he turns his tail, and is out
of sight quicker than if he had been
kicked. An Indian never whistles at
his dog when he wants his beast to
come to him; he places his tongue
against his teeth and Kisses. The col
ored population of Oklahoma have al
most as many dogs as the Indians.
These dogs have a deep-rooted aver
sion for the white man.

the poisons absorbed from the alinent-
airy canal. These poisons are cons ant

according to the extent to which FER
mentative and putrefactiye processes
prevail in the stomach and intestines.
These considerations suggest at once
the thought, while all human beings
must necessarily be constantly subject

and succumb sooner or later to the de-

scattered throughout the timber and fears
are entertained for their safety. In the

DEMOCRATS WITH O0eaEsHALL.
Rumor Has It That They VIII Indorse Him
I'm Their Convention.

In Their Convention.
Rome. Aug. 20-The result Of the Re-
publican Convention, held here Satur-
day, and the bolt by the Coggeshall fac
hon, have caused no end OF comment
among Republicans end Democrats.
Mr. Coggeshsll is being severely criti-
c1sed but the more severe the criticism
the better pleased he seems to be.
If what a prominent Democratic
leader in Oneida county politics told me
tonight is true, ...ere Is some method
In the bolt of yesterday. He said:
did you know the Democrats OF the
county are going to indorse Coggeshall
for Senator? That is the talk And 1t
Is understood that he Is to run as the
Independent candidate, and. If elected.
he has promised the Democrats to be
Independent on all questions"
II this be true there will be no doubt
that Henry j. Coggeshall will be re-
elected for another term, making seven
terms Of service. To-day 1 went into
the country and talked with many
people, especially in the farming dis.
srict. Coggeshall is strong among them.
The trades unions Of Rome and Utica
have passed resolutions indorsing him
and advising all members of unions to
support him.
1 heard John c. Davies chairman of
the Republican County Committee, say
that Frederick G. Weaver, the nominee
or the regular convention, would be
elected by an overwhelming majority,
and that the bolt of the Coggeshallites
would be a good thing for Weavers
canvass.
The Democrats Of the county are to
hold their caucuses on August 81, and
the true state of affairs will then be
known. Any way, Coggeshall Is jubi-
liant and he is confident of success.
Nearly the required number $500 of
signatures has been obtained to the
petition to entitle Mr.. Coggeshall to run
as an independent candidate. The full
number will be obtained this week

A Suggestion to Our Colleges.

A Suggestion to Our Colleges.
President Charles +. Thw idly in the Jan
uary Forum.
The price Of instruction at the
college is higher than the price OF
many secondary or even primary
private schools. One hundred and
fifty dollars is an extreme price for
tuition at the college, but twice
one hundred and fifty dollars is an
extreme price for tuition at certain
private schools. But there are
two special reasons for the in.
crease Of fees. The one of less
force is that not a few rich men are
not willing to give their money to
afford the sons OF other rich men
an education at less than its cost.
A friend OF mine with whom was
recently conversing said to me, 81
can give you, if you wish, a large
amount OF money, but that
amount OF money would go for the
benefit Of the son Mr.. A. or Mr.. b.,
who is perfectly able to pay all his
sons fees at their full amount"
The force OF the reasoning cannot
easily set aside, as the truth of the
fact cannot be denied. But the
special reason for this increase lies
in the fact that money would thus
be had for the benefit of men who
could not pay for college educa-
ton. II the American college
could increase its tuition fee to
$500, there are not a few men in
the college who would be willing
and able to pay this fee, and who
ought to pay this fee, for the
fee represents simply what the
education cast. With the pres
ent endowments and with
the increase of endowments sure
to be made, these payments would
allow each college to offer an edu-
cation to men who are not able to
pay for it at very small cost.
Thus, every poor boy in America
who wants an education could re-
ceive it.
