Fools Arc Nor All Dead.

Among the public servants who are
worried by foolish questions the
superintendent of mails in the post
Office gets his full share. One of his
visitors last week was a man who
said to the deputy who answered the
call at the window:
Il nm going out of town today and
want to get a letter to my brother, who
is on board the Majestic. and she is
not due until Wednesday. l don't
know where he will stay in New York
or where he will go from here. Can't
you help me?"
Certainly we can" said the clerk.
"A mailboat goes to meet the steamer,
and If you address your letter properly
and put domestic postage on it it will
he delivered all right
But how shall l address it-where
shall l send it,"
Address it John Smith. passenger
on board incoming steamer Majestic,
due in New York Dec. ID That will
reach him"
mo city2No nothing?"
That's adjust as l told you"
The man thanked the clerk and went
away, and came back a little later
with an addressed letter in his hand
SAY" he said to the clerk. "abour
that letter. I've addressed it ant
stamped it all right. hut the man,

dread lest he should be pulled u of
the hole and devOured. He tried to
keep awake, but cold and drowsiness
overpowered him. and he knew no more
until he awoke to find the gray light of
day shining overhead.
Having rubbed his cramped and stiff
fened limbs until the blood circulated
a little. he ventured to peep above the
rim Of his shelter. The heaving ocean
was close to him-the waves had eaten
far into the foe during the highland
to his boundless joy he discovered a
vessel under full sail within half a
mile.
And farther to the left. adrift on a
large detached cake of ice. was a mo
ing object that was without doubt his
late prosecutor, the bear.
Quin dragged himself painfully out
of the hole, and shouted and waved his
jacket persistently; he finally saw the
ship lie to and lower a boat. A few min
utes later the escuers had landed on
the foe, and were listening to the cast
away's thrilling tale. while they piled
him with stimulants.
ITS lucky you hailed US" said the
mate of the whaling vessel. ut was a
close call. but you're all right now.
Wen get that bear for you, and it will
be company for another n that the
skipper brought alive from the north"
In due course New Bedford was
reached. and an agent Of Rickman's
came aboard the Martha Jane. But
both bears went to Kamrach & Co.'S
branch house in New York, and from
there to the Philadelphia zoo.

One impeachment to the use of the
English language by the Japanese is
that the latter have no letter 'I' or
the sound it represents. Nevertheless,
they borrow English words contain
ing the letter, changing railroad" into
''relru." tunnel" into '%'tunneru," lin
en-" into ''rinneru' and dollar Into
'doru." The final "u' is tackled on to
many words to meet the Japanese idea
of euphony. The use of Roman letters
in Japanese publications Is spreading.
New York's new Japanese newspaper
will be printed in Roman characters.

Something About This strange Defect
in Vision.

Something About This Strange Defect
in Vision.
1t is little more than a hundred
years since this curious defect in Wis
ion was discovered by scientific men
and barely twenty-five since its. prac-
tlcai bearing in relation to railway
employees became fully appreciated.
1t occurs in varying degrees. from q
slight confusion of two of the elemen
tary cOlors to an absolute inability tc
distinguish any color at all, everything
not pure black or white having a gray
ish hue.
1t is said one person In every TWEEN
ty-dve of the male sex is more or less
color-blind, although only II in -four
hundred of the gentler sex is so at
ficted.
The defect often runs in families,
and the curious fact has been noticed
that, although the boys are the sub
jects, the trouble comes from the moth
er's side. Thus the children of a col
or-blind man, both boys and girls, are
free from any defects Of this kind,
but the sons of his daughters will
have their grandfather's inability to
distinguish cOlors. while his grand
sons in the male line viii escape.
This, of course, is only a general rule,
and exceptions to it are not very in
frequent.
The defect may be acquired as well
as inherited. 1t may occur as a con
sequence Of disease or accident, or il
may result from the excessive use OF
alcohol or tobacco.
A color-blind person loses much Of
the pleasure to be derived from the
sight of flowers, pictures, and the like
Otherwise the defect is Of no specia
importance, except In the case Of
railroad men and seamen, upon whose
ability to distinguish between red anC
green signals the lives Of hundreds of
ten depend. It is in regard to thes'
two colors that the defect is most com
mon.
Many persons, indeed, who are no
regarded as color-blind, and who car
answer to the various tests, are unable
to see the red berries in a bunch of hol
ly or barberry, unless they are very nu
merous, or until they have been point
ed out.
In testing for color-blindness littl
skeins of yarn of different colors AM
shades are used, and the person is Civ
en- one of a certain color, usually Ugh
pink or green, and told to match it a
nearly as possible from the bunch be
fore him
There is no cur yet known for color
blindness, although slight degrees Q
the defect are sometimes helped b
the wearing of yellow-tinted glasses
This is hardly worth while in the cas-
of an ordinary person. and it is who'll

N1ATTHEW QUIN reached New
lNXD York n morning in the late
N~S autumn under instructions from
his employers to go to Newfoundland
and purchase a cargo Of live seals for
shipment to England. In due course
Quin arrived at the Green Bay fishery,
Newfoundland, the seals were running
strong, and without difficulty he pro
cured as many as he wanted and ar
ranged for their transportation to Eng
land.
A bit Of information, which he picked
up by chance, induced him to extend
his trip several hundred miles toward
the Arctic circle. 1t was a venture
some undertaking, especially at this
season, and would have discouraged
most men. But Quin thought nothing
of It and was landed one afternoon near
Hamilton inlet, on the coast Of Labra-
dor, to be picked up a little later by the

ITOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
Il will keep the skin irritated.

cF Night OFF labrador

was already half a dozen yards wide-it
was impossible to leap it.
On the farther brink Of the chasm
stood Danielson, shouting wildly, but
inarticulately. In the middle Of a SEN
tence he turned and ran, barely reach
ing a place of safety before a strip Of
the ice on which he had been standing
crumbled to pieces.
Help Helpr' Quin called hoarsely.
A faint reply foated back, and then
the Norwegian vanished in the night.
1t was no discredit to him that he
should seek safety in a rapid fight to
the shore, since he could do nothing TO
help his comrade.
For an instant Quin's stout heart al
most failed him, as he realized his ter
Eble situation. The wind had shifted
and he was drifting out to sea on the
main portion Of the ice field, which had
broken away from the narrow arm that
was fast to the beach.
Meanwhile the furry of snow had
spent itself. The air was clearer, and
the wind bitterly cold. Quin plodded
half the length Of the hummock, when
he heard a gnawing, rending sound.
and saw the bear rise up within a few
yards of him. With a sullen growl,
leaving the half-devoured carcass of
the pig, the gaunt, shaggy beast made
swiftly at him.
There vas no time to retreat. Quin
gripped the long-handled fork and
lunged desperately. The bear, quick as
lightning. lifted his ponderous paw and
struck the steel points aside, so that
they inflicted only a slight wound in
the foreshoulder. A second blow
snapped the weapon in two, and then,
dropping the useless fragment that he
retained Quin turned and fed for his
life.
But at that terrible moment, when II
seemed that nothing could save him, q
ray of hope interviewed. He slipped and
fell and as he rose he saw at his feet q
narrow black slit. barely large enough
to admit his body. In a trice he was
inside, and the surprised bear hac
slid past the spot.
Quin owed his temporary escape tC
what the fishermen of Newfoundland
called a bubble-hole-a hollow, round
ed cavity, shaped much like an egg
that frequently forms in ice foes. This
particular one was three or four fee
deep, and, fortunately, had a very small
aperture.
Quin spread himself fiat on the bot
tom, face upward, and waited with al
anxious heart. There was a shifting
noise, and then the lean nose and burn
ing eyes of the great bear appeare,
overhead.

The housewife bent above the task:
Her lace was pale that had once been
bright:
She bore the burden OF Fruitless years,
With patience as best she might,
And all day long
She sang this song;
"Lead, Kindly Light"
Her voice was cracked and her tones
were poor;
She got scarce half OF her measure
right:
Her thin lips trembled her eyes roked
far,
As il they would pierce the night;
But all day long
She cronned her song
Lead, Kindly Light"
She toiled in the kithen; she scrubbed
and swept;
She struggled with dirt and hunger
and blight,
For many there were 10 prompt her hand
In here slenderest oversight.
So all day long
She needed her song

She was o old for hope 10 lnre,

And on'y within SHE fought all day
To keep her tired soul white.
AID all day long
She liummtd her song:
