COLOR-BLlND PEOPLE.
Some Queer Selections MAIDS by Per
sons Thus Afflicted,

From the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune: A well known oculist, who
has an office on West Seventh street,
while discussing some of the various
defects of the human eye which are not
noticeable to the ordinary observer,
had this to say about color blind peo-
pie:
THE world must be a curious place
to color-blind people, of Whom there
are forty males and three females to
every LOCO persons. Some are blue
yellow blind, and everything seems
SS@@aer red, green OF gray to them; oth-
erS are red-Sreen blind, and all things
appear to them to be yellow, blue or
gray of various shades, and others
again perceive no distinction Of color
at all, but the whole world wears an
ulchansing aspect Of dull gray.
ITO these last a visit to Il picture
gallery would revea merely a collec-
ton of engravinss or photographs. But
the two former have the compensation
of seeing their own two colors much
more brightly than ordinary people.
The color blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer of the navy
went one day to buy material for a
coat, vest and trousers. He bought a
blue coat and red trousers, believing
| them of the same color. A British ad-
ntiral painted a landscape and wasvery
u VI liio iielliIS, u ne ldu
the tree red, thinking it was the same
color as green. When he purchased a
pair of trousers he chose green ones,
suspecting them to be brown.
AN architects pupil, being directed
to copy the picture of a brown house,
made the house green, the sky scarlet
and the roses blue.
"a %postotice clerk was always short
in his accounts because he could not
distinguish the different colored
stamps. And Il sedate Quaker has been
known to buy a green coat for himself
ana q red gown Tor his Wife, thinking
they We're both broWn.
IF o see a man in the street with
a preposterous display of colors, char
itably believe him to be one of the color
blind.
Just why the eyes of women are less
defective III. the matter of distinguish
ing cOlOrs than those of a man is one
Of the things in nature that is unex-
planned. The construction is the same,
yet the Woman's superiority in match
ing colors has always been recognized,
even where man had had the advan
tage of long experience"

Mansfield's Sunset Was Not Altogether

From the New York Press: several

where we went and alaries were long

pleaded Mansfield. We always play
to big business there And he exhibited
a telegram received from the manager
OF the opera house which said that
every sea In the house had been sold.
This hint cheered the disheartened
company and all Went to Raleigh with
light hearts. Arriving at the station
most of the company scrambled inside

Beautiful, isn't it, Mansfield ex-
claimed. and l nodded my head.

Pacific States Investor: An organ
iZation known as the Alaska Colony
company has been pursuing extensive
Investigations as to the soil and prod
ucts of Alaska with a view to locating
a colony of Films in the territory. It
has been found that the soil and agri-
cultural possibilities are greatly supe-
rior to those of Finland, while the
Firms would bear the change well. be-
ing Il hardy a coming from the ex-
IRENE north of Europe with a latitude
and winter conditions very similar to
the southeast OF Alaska. The Firms
are a liberty-loving people. and op-
posed to the imperial rue under which
they now live. An immense immigra-
ton OF Firms has been steadily flow
ing into the states of Michigan and
Washington, and tens of thousands
more are ready to follow when trans
portation has been arranged for them.
The Finland Steam Navigation COM
pany is cooperating with the Alaska
Colony company in this work. The
Firms make excellent citizens, being
Industrious and honest, while the
women are ideal mothers. The con-
of a large immigration of
such people, already acclimated, into
Alaska, must result in making this ter
ritory worthy of statehood in o sur
prisingly short space nj time.
