Color blind.

Not long ago was in the crowded
Office of celebrated specialist for the
eye and ear, and happened to notice q
man sitting at one Of the tables with a
most bewildered expression on his face
and pile Of bright oolored worsteds in
front Of him. After desperate struggle
he succeeded in asserting them, but,
alas, not according to shade or color.
DR.. O. came in then and said: sis that
the best you can do? Try again and pus
the colors in five piles.
Once more the unfortunate man be-
gan his hopeless task. There were pink,
blue, lavender, yellow and red worsteds
to be piled, each color by itself. The
man began. Yellow was comparatively
easy, red not so bad, but pink, blue and
lavender conveyed no idea OF difference.
The perspiration rolled down the man 9
face, his features became fairly distort-
ed, and finally we heard him murmur,
sThis is coPkerP' ] became desperate
myself, and when he finally gravely
separated the blue shades, putting some
with the lavender and others with the
pink, felt like screaming. AS soon as
could see the doctor / expressed my
sympathy, and he replied:
''Yes, sympathy is very we'll, but If
you were riding ON railway train you
would like to be sure that the engineer
knew the primary colorsI This man has
passed series Of examinations and is
qualified to assume a responsible posi-

It was Winfield Scott Schley who
said this when he was commander Of
the New York and stood on the forward
bridge of his ship outward bound from
one of the ports of the Atlantic sea-
board. Ten minutes before a badly
frightened man had run up to him, call
ing out:
captain, the forward port magazine
Is on frel"
''Then shut your mouth, - said the
captain. The man, thus recalled to his
senses touched his cap and relapsed
into silence, while his commander
quietly ordered fire drill and mo-
ment later commanded the flooding of
the magazine. Both orders, part Of
the daily routine on every American
warship, were promptly carried out,
but it was not until all danger was past
that the officers and men obtained
knowledge of the true state of affairs
When they did find ont, they realized
that their captain had been standing all
the time just over the magazine, and
one of the officers begged him to come
down from the bridge and let him take
his place. It was then that the captain
made the remark quoted above. Brook
