 Every ablebodied Swiss is, ipSO tacto, member of the army from eighteen to furty-tour, yet never does one hear the least complaint made by a Swiss of whatever social class at the triding sacrifice of time that his military duties demand. To watch Swiss bat taliou on It's way to mUueuverS h camp or on its return is to watch as Contcnted. Serviccable and cheerful a lot of men as one could wish to meet.

COLOR COMBINATIONS.
How They Were CIeverIy Used In
 ExpOsinE al Fraud,


 Exposing a Fraud,
 h large factory in which were em- ployed several hundred persons one of the workmcn in welding his hammer carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew halfway across the room and struck a fellow workman in the left eye. The man afterward averred that his eye was blinded by the blow, although Il careful examination failed to reveal any injury, there being not a scratch visible.
 He brought suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesigEt, and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law the owner of the factory was responsible for an Injury resulting from an accident of this kind.
 The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist, retained by the defense. examined the alleged Injured member and gave 1t as hls opinion that 1t was as good as the right eye.
 Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his inability To see with bis left eye the oculiSt proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the fal- sity of his claim. He did 1t simply by knowing that the COlors green and red combined make black.
 He prepared a black card, on which a few words were written in green ink Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on pair nf SpeCtacles with two differ ent glasses, the one for the right eye being rel. and the enc for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed to him, and he was ordered tu read the writing On it through rhc glasses,
 This he did without hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. Owing to the effect which the ColOred glass must have had upon the green writing the sound right eye fitted with the red glass could not possibly distinguish the writing oh the black surface of the card, wh:!e the left eye, which he pre- tended was sighrleSs. was the one with which tue reading had tu be dOne-- London Standard.
