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. Tile line be.
tween these various kinds of color
blindness ana perfect perception III
coiprs Is not sharply drawn. so that d
large number Of persons have what Is
called a feeble color sense. which falls
short Of actual color blindness. There
y no doubt that color blindness in its
various forms Is much more common
tsian Is generally supposed, and 1t Is
more common among the ilnperfectly
than the we'll educated classes.

Too Small to Be Seen.

Not long after his introduction
into national life as a member of
the house Tim Sullivan of New
York conceived a violent dislike for
the man then at the head of one Of
the executive departments. 1t was
observed that whenever Sullivan,
much to his disgust, was obliged to
consult the official in question he
invariably left in anything but the
pleasantes4I of humors. One morn
ing Sullivan had been cooling his
heels in the secretary's anteroom
when the private secretary entered,
SAYING, 81 am awfully sorry, Mr..
Sullivan, but you can't see the Sec
rotary this morning" Sullivan, by
this time in a white heat because of
his long wait, dramatically exclaim-
ed: "Merciful heaven! Is he so
small as all that? ?"

rHE HONEST APOLOGY.
Never Be Ashamed to Say That Tsu
Are Sorry.

Never Be Ashamed to Say That Ysu
Are Sorry.
Don't be afraid or ashamed to
say that you are sorry.
1t may be hard, but remember
that it takes two to make quarrel,
and the chances are that you were
as much in the wrong as the other
person.
Of course it would be better not
to quarrel in the first place, but
after all we are only human, and
sometimes our temper gets the best
of us.
But the false pride that keeps us
from acknowledging ourselves in
the wrong is even more deplorable
than the unruly tongue that gets
US into trouble in the first place.
A quarrel that does not amount
to much in the first place can grow
into a perfect mountain of trouble
through brooding.
Don't wait for the other person
to express regret. Come right out
like man or woman and say: 'I'm
sorry for my share of the offense.
Let us forgive and forget"
Never part from any one with
hard feelings between you.
Remember that "many 60 forth
in the morning who never come
back at night" Don't run the risk
of having to 60 through life with
an agony of remorse in your heart.
And remember also that every
quarrel leaves a scar. If you would
prevent those scars from being ugly
wounds, do not hesitate to do your
share Of making up"
Sweethearts will quarrel over
needless trifles as much for the
pleasure Of reconciliation as any
thing else, but it is a foolish pas
time and gets them into the habit
of dispute.
If you are a wife, never let your
husband 60 away in the morning
with an unforgiven quarrel between
you. 1t will rankle in your heart
all day, and nothing will seem right
or sweet. It is twice as easy to ex-
press sorrow Immediately after the
quarrel as it will be if you wait a
day.
1t is usually a sulky person who
finds it hardest to express contri-
ton. The quick tempered person is
as ready to make up as he was to
take offense: but the sulky person,
even though ne may feel desperate
ly sorry, cannot bring himself to
say SO, and the result is that he
goes through great deal of unnec-
essary suffering.
Don't be the kind that won't ac-
knowledge the blame. Say you are
sorry, and say it sincerely. There is
no disgrace in an honest avowal of
having been in the wrong. - st.
Louis Republic.

A .seman's Complexion /. .


It is rank foolishness toa attempt
to remove sallowness or greasi1iess
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. The>only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood. which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on she liver, cleanses
and enriches the blesd, purifies the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

His Time For Drinking.

In the days of river driving on the
Kennebec river in Maine old Uncle jim
Gilbert was a well known character
He was hale and hearty and had an
enormous appetite. The men used to
come down the river with a drive CT
logs and get a meal at a tavern in
Augusta. One morning. arriving late
and with appetite sharpened, old On
Gle Jim sat down with the first set OF
men and ate diligently during the tine
these men made a meal. A new set OF
men came and still Uncle Joe ate
steadily A third set came. and the
tavern keeper, becoming alarmed, tried
to hurry up the protracted meal By
saying, Better drink your coffee. un.

Wsiqht Dead and Alive.

It is very popular idea that a
person when dead weighs heavier
than when living. One reason that
dead body is thought to be heav-
Ter than a living one is probably
this: In carrying living person we
have the center of gravity adapted
by the person carried to suit the
convenience Of the carrier and
maintained in a position as far as
possible to fall within the base of
his body. Again, the elasticity of
the structure of the body, especial
ly the cartilages, though not in real
ity diminishing the weight, gives an
appearance of lightness, as we see
In the beautiful movements of the
stag, and this would seem to cor
roborate the notion that living crea-
lures are lighter than dead ones.
1t has. also been asserted that the
breath makes the living body light
er than the dead. But we need hard
ly say that man when dead weighs
no more than when alive.

Dry Land For Sheep.

1T is generally well known that
sheep require a reasonably dry eli
mate and land that is we'll drained, but
it often happens that farmers under
take to raise sheep on bottom land
and on land that is too wet to plow
for crop. If sheep are kept on such
land for any length Of time. trouble
is sure to follow, remarks Farm Press.
Sheep cannot stand wet feet, and they
must have dry ground to sleep on at
night. Sheep lie down great deal
when Eliminating. Unless the ground
is dry and warm they are sure to
suffer- Besides foot rot internal para
sites that affect sheep are worse on
wet land. The hoof of the sheep is
golden only when the hoof is dry.

THE SEAT OF THE PULSE.
1t Varies Greatly In Different Per
sons and Conditions.


sons and Conditions.
The pulse of women generally beats
at a slightly faster rate than that or
men. 1t may be said that when per-
son is at rest his pulse, that OF any
adult. NAV be from Seventy-fve to
eighty times a minute. Great variation
exists in different individuals in re
epect of the number of BEATS After
exercise the pulse quickens because Of
the stimulation of the heart. and the
same result applies to the effects OF
taking food. A dose of alcohol will alSl
stimulate the pulse somewhat, Just rs
the use of tobacco, especially in excess
will tend to have an opposite effect
namely. that Of lowering the rate OF
the pulse, because Of the depression OF
the heart which results. In feeerS and
inf1ammat0ry diseases the pulse r2tt
tends to be very much increased a20
also in respect of its character. Inste,l>,
of beating quietly the blood vessel IL
such cases exhibits a very full ana
bounding movement. On the othef
hand. where depression exists and the
temperature of the body fails, the
pulse may be unnaturally slow and ill.,
character weak. Physicians are accus
toned to distinguish other characters,
tics in the pulse, such as become valu-
able hints in the discovery and deter.
mination of disease. The practical les
son we learn here is that where the
pulse continues for any length Of time
to have its beats quickened to an I'M
natural degree and where especially 4
rise of the temperature or heat of TIL
body accompanies these symptoms we
ought to suspect some kind of fevcrish
condition or other to he represented
The pulse alone forms a valuable
enough guide to this state Of the body,
but it's value is very much increased if
to the information given us by the
pulse we add that which the use of the
thermometer supplies.--Cardiff Times,

binder over cutting by hand or sled
harvester is the amount of work which
can be accomplished per day and the
general ease with which the work can
be done. One disadvantage which may
be credited to the corn binder is that
it knocks off more or less ears of corn.
Binders consist essentially Of dividers
passing one Oil each side Of a row of
corn and Of cutting and binding de-
vices. A bundle carrier is usually also
attached.
The present form of shocker consists
essentially Of dividers, revolving ia.
bic for assembling the shock and a
crane for removing it, The knives and
fywheel attachment for cutting the
stalks are similar to those used on the
corn binder.
Corn shockers cost about as much as
binders and weigh approximately the
same. The wear and tear on the
shocker is probably not so great as on
the binders The shocker requires The
work Of but one man, whereas the
binder requires besides the driver two
or three men to follow and set up the
shocks. The corn shOcker seems to be
the machine that meets the require
mentS Of owners of small farms who
do their own work. It requires a man
of more ability to run a corn shocker
than to operate a corn binder on ac.
count of the numerous movements the
operator has to go through all at the
proper time in removing the shock
from the machine.
From replies to questions we have a
total cost of harvesting corn with a
shocker of $106 per acre compared
with the cost of $1.18 per acre for har.
vesting with sled harvester and S1.5C
per acre for corn binders or by hand.
The manual labor in harvesting corn
is the least when using the shocker
The shock made by the corn shocker is
not SO easily loaded on a wagon as is
that made by a corn binder, as the in.
dividual bundles may be loaded with a
pitchfork, whereas the whole shock
made with q shocker can best be load
ed at once with some form of loading
device or horsepower derrick.

NAMES OF DAYS.

The Latin and Saxon Terms From
Which They Are Derived.
Our names for each day are derived
from the Saxons. who probably bor-
rowed the week from some eastern
people, substituting names Of their
own divintties for those Of the clas-
steal gods. as is easily seen when the
names are tabulated:
Latin. Saxon. English.
Dies Solis...o... Suns day...... Sunday.
Dies Lunae. 80. Moons day.. Monday.
Dies Martis. 80. Tiw's day.. Tuesday.
Dies Mercurii.. Woden's day.. Wednesday,.
Dies Jovis. Thor's day.. Thursday.
Dies Veneris... Frigas day.. Friday.
Dies Saturni. .Seterne's day. Saturday.
Among the ancients the belief in the
of men was SO strong that many in Sc
lecting their daily ornaments would
wear emily the gem associated with the
planet of the day. Thus on Sunday
only yellow gems and gold should
adorn the fingers. Pearls and white
stones, excepting diamonds, belonged
to the Moon day. Tuesday, day of Mars
claimed rubies and all stones of fiery
luster. Thursday, Thor's day, demand
ed amethysts and deep colored stones
of saDguine tint, while Friday, dom
mated by Venus, reigned over the en-
erald, color Of jealousy, which is loves
shadow. Saturday, dedicated to Sat
urn, oldest of the gods. had for it's
distinctive talisman the most splendid
of all gems, the diamond.-Chicagc
