Color blindness Is by no means
rare afiliction. Some people expert
ence little inconvenience from 1t; 9th
ers find 1t a constant embarrassment.
THE world must be a curious place
to color blind people, Of whom there are
forty males and three females to every
1000 persons" said an expert Oculist
recently. Some are blue-yellow blind
and everything seems either red. green
or gray to them; others are red-green
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 unchanging
aspect of dull gray.
ITO these last a visit to a picture
gallery would reveal merely collec-
ton of engravings or photographs. But
the two former have the compensation
of seeing their own two colOrs much
more brightly than ordinary people.
"Tht color blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer Of the
navy went one day to buy material for
coat, vest and trousers. He bought
blue coat and red trousers, believ
ing them of the same color. A British
admiral painted landscape and was
very proud OF his performance, but he
made the tree red, thinking it was the
same color as green. When he pur-
cha sed q pair of trousers he chose
green ones, suspectng them to be
brown.
AN architects pupil. being directed
to copy the picture of brown house,
made the house green, the sky scarlet
and the roses blue.
"A postoffice clerk was always short
In his accounts because he could not
distinguish the different colored
stamps. And sedate Quaker has
been known to buy a green coat for
himself and a red gown for his wife,
thinking they were both brown.
IF you see man In the street with
a preposterous display of colors charl-
tably believe him to he one of the
color blind.
Just why the eyes of women are
less defective In the matter OF distin-
guished cOlOrs than those OF man II
one of the things in nature that Is I'M
explained. The construction is the
same. yet the woman's superiority In
ms itching colors has always been rec
ognized, even where man has had the
advantage OF long experience"

I fortunate that the leaders Of the repub-

little education on this important sub
ject They have assumed that things
were all right, that the Dineley law was
perfect. that the maintenance OF the pro-
tective principle was the only thing to
be thought OF. and so they have stood

plants OF the people and refused TO look
irto the question at all This ignorance
will prove a serious obstacle in the way
