THE PARIS CLUBS.


Election to the Most Exclusive Ones
Is Serious business.
Election to the exclusive clubs OF
Paris is a very serious business. The
proposer and seconder must not emily
know all about their candidates, bot
be able to bear witness to their ante
cedents and even to their feEefathses.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their candi-
dates. When the election takes place.
they must not only be in the room, but
approach each member individually az
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the first day as kind Of
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
is then formally introduced by one Of
his proposers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be In the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall. but he iS still
expected to go round the room with
one of his proposers and be formally
introduced. This lasts for week, by
which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues, though foreigner who
Is extra punctilious and insists on be-
ing introduced to every member Of the
club gains considerably in popularity

The term color blindness implies an
entire absence of the color sense, and
there are 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
bliaa1ness and q perfect perception Of
cojers is not sharply drawn. so that a
large number Of persons have what Is
called feobls color sense, which fails
short of actual color blindness. There
is no doubt that color blindness in its
various forms 10 much more common
than is generally supposed, and 1t Is
more common among the imperfectly
than the well educated classes.

HANDLING A TIGER.
How a TurkOman Subdued Snarl-

ing, Angry Man Eater.
''In cage near the room in which
lived while in Khiva," says Langdon
Warner in the Century Magazine.
'was a tiger from the Oxus swamps.
He had taken a dislike to me, and
every time l passed his cage he got
up and paced angrfly toward me,
snarling.
Unto the cage of this beast, at the
command Of the prince, a Turkoman
stepped. armed with short stick -
big round as his wrist. With this
stick he struck the tigers nose as he
made for him, and then, with palms
out and eyes fixed, he walked slowly
up to the shrinking beast and stroked
his face and flank.
1.-THE tiger snarled and took the
mans hand in his open mouth. held
my breath and looked for the bleed
ing stump to fall away; but, keeping
that hand perfectly still, with the
other he tickled the tigers jowl and
scratched his ear till with a yawn and
a pleased snarl the big cat rolled
over on his back to have his belly
scratched.
'"rhe man then sank to his knees,
always keeping his hands in motion
over the glossy fur, and with his foot
drew toward him collar attached to
chain. This he snapped round the
beasts neck and, rising to his feet.
! laid hold Of the chain and dragged the
tiger out.
'orhis was only the second time that
the cage had been entered. AS soon
as the tiger was outside he espied the
watching party and started for them,
but came up short ON the collar. If he
had chosen to use his weight and
strength no four of them could have
held his tether, but as it was the
Turkoman found little difficulty with
him and held him, suarling, while q
camera WAS snapped"
