After his return from abroad Grant
had little japanese servant, who took
charge Of him rs though the general
We're u bit Of machinery and he We're the
engineer Some of the newspaper men
noticed that in the COURSE of one trip
Grant had on six different hats, and
they laughingly asked him what was
the significance of the change. Grant
said; Why, do not know | supposed
| had on the same hat all the time. "
Investigation brought out the fact that
the little Jap, through the suggestion of
some of the ladies of the party or some
of the committee had received ideas as
to what kind of hat the general ought
to wear at certain towns. If it was a
college town, just before he arrived the
little Jap would tiptoe to the general,
remove the SLOUGH hat, place a silk hat
carefully on the generals head and trip
out, the general never losing a word of
any conversation At the next STOP if
1t was explained to the little Jap that
1t was a soldier town, off would come
the silk hat and on went the general s
military hat. He made it rule for the
general never to appear at two places
in the same hat, and the joke of it was
that Grant himself did not know any
thing of the scheme. "--Philadelphia

Color Blindness.

The term color blindness implies al
entire absence of the color sense, and
there are a few persons who are i'll this
condition, but it also includes all tht
forms of partial color blindness IL
which the perception of one of tbs
fundamental colors red, green and
violet-is wanting, and which are
known as red blindness, green blind
ness and violet blindness The line be-
tween these various kinds of color blind
ness and perfect perception of eolOrs
is not sharply drawn. so that large
number of persons have what is called
q feeble color sense, which falls short
Of actual color blindness. There is ne
doubt that color blindness in its vari
Gus forms is much more common thar
is generally supposed, and it is more
common among the imperfectly than
the we'll educated classes, and it is, Gu
riously enough. still moro common
among Jews and Quakers, probably
from hereditary causes. 1t is ten times
more frequent among males than fe.
males i'll the general population, but
among Quakers it is nearly the same
in both sexes. In the general popula-
ton 4-16 per cent, or about l male III

In one of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
@. +. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear of all doubt. Instead of such be-
ing the case science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory of gravitation as
involving paradoxes to this day unex-
planned, arguing that if bodies act up
on each other at a distance without any
intervening medium then thing can
act where il Is not, which is an absurd
ity, while, on the other hand, if there
is material medium filling all space,
and "a gravity is transmitted through
that by a push rather than by pull,
then the transmission ought 10 occupy
some appreclable time, but this it does
not do, and at any rate, if its action is
not absolutely Instantaneous, its yeloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that Of light. Moreover,

the result Of push from behind in
wolves absurdities Of various kinds, In

THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.

In recounting the ministrations of
John Wesley ia Georgia, where the ia
nous preacher soWod the first seeds of
Methodiam in America, the Rev, ". J.
Scott, ID. D., in The Ladies' Home
Journal, claims that Wesley established
the first Sunday school III the world at
Savannah. In connection with his 9TH
er labors, which We're indeed prodigious,
Wesley, soon after his arrival in Geor-
gia, in 1886, began to provide for the
Sunday school instruction of the chill
dren Of the parish His devotion to chill
dren at times almost amounted to i'll
fatuation. Children were likewise equal
ly attached to him, rs shown III their
intercourse with him. Both on week
days and Sabbaths he gave no little at
tention to educational work. As pre-
liminary labor on the Sabbath before the
evening service he required them to
convene IN the church, at which time
be catechised them thoroughly and fur
nished them with additional teaching
from the Bible itself
In the present Wesleyan Memorial
church in Savannah there is a Sunday
school room into which hundreds Of
children crowd for Sunday instruction
The original school was less in number
but it was unquestionably the first Sun
day school III the world. When taught
by Wesley it numbered between go and
rs scholars, but from all accounts there
We're few if any Indian boys III his ear
lier classes. A very high authority, Sir
Charles Reed, Nj. p, LII d., of Eng
land, is clearly of the opinion that this
Sunday school was the first founded in
the world, and that 1t antedates by
half century the secular instruction of

A QUEER LITTLE ANIMAL.
The Australian Duckbill Carries a sting
In One Leg

Australia certainly holds the palm for
queer and uncouth animals, says The
Literary Digest. Chief among these is
the duckbill or ornithorhynchus. which
Sydney Smith described as "a kind of
mole with webbed feet and the bill of
duck, which agitated Sir Joseph Banks
and rendered him miserable from his
hitter inability to decide whether il was
bird or beast. " 1t was only recently
that 1t was proved beyond a doubt that
this curious animal lays eggs like a
bird, though this had long been reported
by travellers. Now comes the news that
1t has sting on its hind leg, capable of
killing by its poisonous effects. We
quote from The Lancet:
For long time il was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of ottense, although the hind
legs OF the males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with a gland. Then the opinion was ad-
vanced that this might be weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all Of which possess
sort of hypodermlc poison syringe.
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set de-
MED 1t, and so DR. Stuart determined to
solve this question, if possible. He re-
celyed two independent accounts which
conceded perfectly, and from them he
concludes that, at certain seasons at all
events, the secretion is virulentlv poi
sonous The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments OF the hind legs. Two cases are
reported IN dogs one dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem-
bling those of bee or hornet poison. The
dog was evidently in great pain and
drowsy, but there We're no tremors, con-
WILSON'S or staggering. 1t Is worthy Of
note that certain immunity seems OBJ
talnable for the dog suffered less on the
second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases Of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami
mails We're lrritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only. The symptoms were the same as
i'll the dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four in dogs"
