The Chinese Discovered Their Use as
 . Time Indicator.
 The first European to learn of the use of a cat as a time indicator was M. Hue, who in a work on the Chinese empire tells how he was initiated into the mystery.
 M. Hue and a party of friends set out to visit a Chinese Christian mis- sion settlement among the peasantry. They met a young Chinaman on the road, and to test his intelligence they asked him If he could tell them the time. The native looked up at the sky, but the clouds hid the sun from view, and he couldn't read any answer there Suddenly he darted away to a farm and returned in a few moments with cat in his arms. Pushing up It's eyelids with his hand. he told Hue to look at them, at the same time volunteering the information that 1t was not noon yet. While they were puzzlng over the case the boy went about his busi- ness.
 When the party reached the village, they asked the Christian converts if they could tell the time by a cats eyes and how 1t was done. Immediately there was a wild hunt. and all the cats obtainable in the neighborhood were brought before them.
 The Chinese pointed out that the pu- pills of cats eyes were gradually mar rower up to 12 noon, when they be- came scarcely perceptible lines drawn perpendicularly across the eye. and after that dilation recommended. Hue examined the eyes of several cats and verified what the Chinese had told bim.-Chlcago Chronicle.

AN ODD WAGER.
The Peculiar Bet Foreign Prince
 Laid and Won In Paris.

The Peculiar Bct Foreign Prince
 Laid and Won In Paris.
 Gambling has always been a favor ite occupation for the sons of royal houses, but none of them probably has ever exhibited so much wit and ingenuity in his betting as a foreign prince did at his stay in Paris.
 He laid a heavy wager with a mem. Der of the Imperial club of the French capital that within two hours he would be arrested by the police with out committing any ofense or pro- volling the officers of the law in any fashion. Accordingly, having clothed himself in rags of the most disreputa- ble appearance, he walked into one of the most aristocratic restaurants in the city and ordered cup of choco- late. The waiter refused to serve him unless he showed evidence that he could pay. The prince at once drew a roll of bank notes from his pocket and offered one of large denomination to the astonished attendant. The lat ter took the bill and carried it at once to the proprietor, who sent for the police, in the meantime allowing his strange guest to be served.
 As soon as the authorities arrived they arrested the incognito son of roy alty and took him to the nearest sta tion, where of course he was released after he had disclosed the facts of the affair Now York Trihupa

The first barbers of whom there Is any record piled their trade in Greece in the fifth century B. c. In Rome the first barbers operated in the third century B. c. In olden times In Eng land the barber and the physician were identical. Thus a kings barber was also his chief medical adviser. In the time of Henry VIII. of England laws were made concerning barbers, of which the following is an extract: 'No person occupying a shaving or barbery in London shall use any sur gery, letting of blood or other matter. except the drawing of teeth"

Color Blindness.

The term color blindness implies an entire absence of the color sense, and there are a few persons who are in this condition, but it also includes all the forms of partial color blindness in which the perception of one of the fundamental colors - red, green and violet-is wanting, and which are known as red blindness, green blind ness and violet blindness. The line be- tween these various kinds of color blindness and perfect perception of colors Is not sharply drawn, so that large number of persons have what is called feeble color sense, which falls short of actual color blindness. There is no doubt that color blindness in its various forms is much more common than is generally supposed, and 1t is more common among the imperfectly than the we'll educated classes.
