SOUND AND COLOR HEARING.
CurIOsities of the Senses Described
by a Medical Writer.

CurIOsfties of the Senses Described
by a Medical Writer.
An English medical authority gives
an interesting account of some conclu-
sions reached by physicians concern
ing the remarkable, though not unfa-
miliar, phenomenon known as syn
aesthesia'-the association of one SEN
satiOn with another of different kind.
One of the most common examples is
the shivering sensation felt by many
persons on hearing the squeak of
pencil drawn across a slate. Others
have their teeth put on edge by the
filing Of a saw. Such sensations are
described as 'sound-feeling."
COlor-hearing-or sound-seeing as it
is sometimes called-is a rarer form Of
sylaesthesia. 1t consists in the asso-
citation Of color with some definite
sound. These color sensations are con-
slant In the same person, but vary con-
siderably In different individuals. For
example, the sound of the vowel IA
may be red to one person, blue to an
other and black to third. When light,
instead Of color, is associated with
sound the phenomenon is known as
"photism :" ON the other hand, when q
color or some definite image suggests
sound the condition Is termed "phon-
ISM"
singular case is recorded Of cler-
gyman who. with his three children,
was affected in this manner. Since
early childhood the father had asso-
ciated the sound Of each letter Of the
alphabet with particular color The
letters f, ], k, and X, for instance,
were reddish brown; and were
white; a, d, g, n, S, q and were trans
parent The remaining letters were of
a dull lead color, shading down to
black. Whole words received a domi-
nant color from their capital letters
When a child he was laughed at be-
cause he asked why a certain bay
horse was given "the white name Of
Charlier
In the case Of one Of his daughters,
who was musical, the higher tones were
Of light color, the deeper ones dark,
the deepest black, on whatever instru-
ment they were sounded.
For some persons the combined tones
Of an orchestra have permanent color
correspondence. Thus, for one listener
the prelude to Wagners "Trustan and
Isolde" is prevailingly orange in color,
and well-known woman musician says
that she always sees the "Rheingold'
prelude which might reasonably suggest
the green of deep waters, as of rich
purple color.-Harpers Weekly.

Professor Charles Eliot Norton Of
Harvard has publicly announced that
he is in the noble company Of those
who think the death Of persons in GER
tain physical and mental conditions
should be benevolently fastened. The
professor makes plenty Of reservations
and conditions, but one thing he lacks,
like all Others who have expressed such
views-he does not tell us who is to
decide and in what way and under
what safeguards who shall and who
shall not be made way with. Herein
lies one objection to euthanasia which
seems to be insuperable.

The subtreasury building in New
York is already adorned with a fine
statue Of Washington, who was first
inaugurated as President in Federal
Hall, which stood on that site. A
bronze tablet commemorating another
event of historic interest has recently
been placed in the building. On Oct.
27, 1887, in Federal Hall, the United
States SOLD to Manasseh Cutler and
Winthrop Sargent who represented
the Ohio Company Of Associates, a
tract of land containing a million and
a half acres on the Ohio River. This
transaction followed the passage of
the famous ordinance of 1887, which
created the Territory Northwest Of
the Ohio River" and which Daniel
Webster ranked as second in import
ance to the Declaration of Independ-
ence- From that territory have been
made the great States of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon.

physicians and psychologists have made
public protest against the small
amount Of sleep allowed to boys at
English secondary and higher schools.
They declare that minimum of nine
hours Of unbroken rest In summer and
nine and a half in winter is needed
by the average boy Of from 13 to 16,
whereas investigation has shown that
In the majority Of the schools the
sleeping hours range from eight to
eight and half hours. A great wrong,
say these medical authorities, is in
fiicted on these boys, who leave school
poorly equipped for the struggles Of
life both in body and in mind The
trouble Is due to insufficient realiza-
tion of the scientific fact that children
and young people require sleep not
merely for the recuperation and main
tenance Of existing tissue, which is the
case with adults, but also for the more
important purposes Of growth and de-
velopment. Principals are anxious to
get results, and parents generally as
sumo that the former pay the neces-
sary attention to questions Of physical
and mental vigor as well as to schol-
arship and moral habits in conse-
quence, a serious evil has been permit
ted to grow up. 1t Is interesting to
note that the practice OF the United
States Is relied on by the protestors
to bring about the improvement de-
sired. In America, they say, the
proper amount Of sleep Is insisted on,
and care Is taken to prevent disturb
ances and noise on the part of seniors
disposed to play tricks at the expense
of the juniors The sleep question: as
some comments point out, is really
much broader. At college undergrad
yates are reproached for taking too
many hours for rest, and the virtue Of
doing without sleep is exploited by
thoughtless persons who forget that
there are considerable individual differ
ences Of sleep requirement even among
adults We are told that this or that
great man = Humboldt, Napoleon,
Gladstone-managed to get along with
four or FIVE hours sleep out Of the
twenty-four, and imitation or emula-
ton of these exemplars is regarded as
noble practice, If not duty. The
Saturday Review assa1ls such 'busy-
bodies" with justifiable ferocity and
tells them that they are blatant nui-
sances. "A Sleep" 1t goes ON to say,
"of eight or nine hours after reason
ably hard days work, and doze of an
hour or so after waking in the
morning, with, perhaps, cup of tea
Just before rising-it is this kind of
thing that makes life pleasing and
worthy" OF course, our Tory contem-
porary is referring to the upper
classes" but those who cannot have
the extra doze and the tea between
can yet take to heart the observations
regarding the need and the virtue of
sufficient sleep and the folly Of apollo
gizing with sense Of shame for fall
ing short of exalted standards.

vigor, usually in the house Of represen-

that the lion did not know it. But

Up 10 Him.

1t is said that Chairman Sherman
of the Republican campaign COM
mittee was recently approached by
a somewhat unimportant Ohio poll
tician, who, though formerly Repub
lican, has of late years voted the
state Democratic ticket.
II appeared from the mans con-
versation that he had seen the error
of his way and was now once more
prepared to vote and work for the
party which he had left. At the same
time he limited that he would like a
job at campaign headquarters.

ported to have replied, that | shall
have to disappoint you. Glad to see
you back; but in these days the wise
prodigal brings along his own calf"

TIE COMING
OF THE HINDU

ber sheds at less than one-half the
wage demanded by a white man. The
next steamer from the Orient
brought $50 more. and since then
they have been arriving steadily, each
new consignment being swallowed
up in the lumber business.
Old British Soldiers.
One of the interesting points
about the Hindu invasion of Canada
is that the invaders are for the most
part old soldiers of the British en-
pire. Many of them still wear their
uniforms. They declare that the
poor pay of the British government
is responsible for their leaving their
homes and earning a livelihood in
an alien land. They say that it is
impossible for a native soldier of In
dia to serve any length of time in
the British service without running
into debt, and it is to clear these
debts that they are now working on
British soil for less money than the
British subjects demands.
There is a question as to whether
against as was done in the case of
the Chinese. There is Dominion
law whereby any class of undersir-
able immigrants can be refused per-
mission to land on Canadian shores;
but as these Hindus are British sub
jects, they are, according to British
law, entitled to all the privileges of
those who are living under the folds
of the Union Jack, and the British
imperial government may take a
hand in the matter.
May Cross the Line. =
The question is now being discuss
ed in England, but there does not
seem to be much sympathy for the
Canadians there. The Manchester
Guardian, one of the most influen-
tial of the provincial papers of the
United Kingdom, says that the best
way to solve the whole question
would be for the Canadians to pay
the Hindu as much as he does the
white man and thus get white labor.
In the meantime, the Hindus are
flocking into Canada, and British
Columbia in no uncertain terms.
There is danger that the Hindus
will, in a short time, cross the line
into the state of Washington and
flood the western coast of the United
States, just as the Chinese have
done. Up to the present time, how
ever, they are needed only too badly
in British Columbia, and there is en-
ployment for all who come here.

Heart
Weakness

The action of the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart flut-
ters, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-
ders. The circulation is inn
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish-
ment.

Italian King at a Review.

sugar-and-water on trays, oranges,
etc. Small Italian boys, irrepressi-

and were chased back by authority
on horseback. and crawled through
again the moment authority passed
on. A care worn Italian. looking
like brigand, but evidently the
mildest of men in the bosom of his
family, tried TO keep four little girls
and two boys in order on the grass,
and was continually overrun and
checkmated by them instead. They
were only quieted by the clear sound
of the royal trumpets singing over
the field, and the murmur, I'll re!

of King Victor Emmanuel and his
officers. The review stand, draped
in the Italian colors, was at the end
OF the field: but whether the bomb
throwing at Madrid at King Alton
SOS wedding, three days before, had
made royalty doubt the wisdom of
any fixed program, or whether a CEN
tral position suited the reviewing
better, the king never went near IT,.
Down the lines he rode. on a big
bay horse, riding very well, and look
ing very pallant in his white plume
and green baldric, with a brilliant
group Of officers behind him. But
whereas on Independence day at
