II the testimony of great numbers
of the readers of The New YORK

The First Torch,

Although firefiies have been used
mere and there by primitive folk, they
could hardly have been the first lamp.
Mans battle with darkness really be-
gan with the torch, which was lighted
at the fire in the cave or in the wig
wan and kept burning for purposes of
illumination. A burning stick was the
first lamp. The first improvement in
the torch was made when slivers or
splinters of resinous or oily wood were
tied together and burned We may
regard this as lamp which is all
wick. This invention resulted in a
fuller and clearer light and one that
would burn longer than the single
stick. A further Improvement came
when a long piece of wax or fatty SUBJ
stance was wrapped about with leaves.
This was something like candle, only
the wick 6he leaves was outside and
the oily substance which fed the wick
was in the center.-St. Nicholas.

and his father and the family had re-
tired. The only creature on the old
place that seemed to be awake was
dog. AS the soldier entered the gate
OF the grounds the dog began barking.
The sound aroused the owner of the
manor. The country was overrun at
the time with stragglers, some OF
whom had not hesitated to commit
burglary. The father of the boy arose.
He stood in his doorway with his shot
gun and challenged the approaching
stranger, as he supposed.
1.-THE young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but continued on his way. The
man in the doorway raised his gun
and fred The stranger fell dead.
The father summoned his family and
the few remaining servants Of the
plantation. An investigation was held,
and the tragic truth was revealed.
THE father, Of course, was inconsol-
able. He returned to his house, while
the servants carried the lifeless form
of his boy to the home that had been
awaiting his coming. The next day
the invited guests began to arrive. The
father had given orders that the trag-
edy should not be mentioned until ne
himself told ii.
II do not know what explanation was
made to the guests as to the absence
of him whom they were to honor, but
after the repast they were told. and
then they filed past the dead. The
body had been wrapped in the flag for
which the brave young man had
fought. The community was used to
funerals. Every private burial ground
had a grave made by the unhappy war
but no funeral like this had ever tax
en- place in the vicinity, and l doubt II
II ever had a counterpart"

Artists and Color Blindness.

Artists are as subject to color blind
ness as other men. The writer has
tested the color sense of a large num-
Der of them-colorists, engravers, il
lustrators--and found an average of
one in twenty-five color blind. AS a
class, they are quicker to recognize
varying shades, but a green blind art
list will place brown skein of wOrsted
with the green as readily as Il layman.
The possession of an artistic tenn
permanent bears no other relation to
the keenness of ones color sense than
comes from close observation and use
of color. If an artists eyes at birth
do not possess all color seeing cones in
his retina he cannot cultivate them by
Observation-Disclosures \. Ayers in Cen

Great poets are not usually great
warriors. but when Milton in Para

of dense squadrons of angels he was
displaying military stratagem which

MRS.NELLIE MARKHAM

Anervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence. and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability 3? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains.nervous
dyspepsia. sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and ycy are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E..

~ the civil war Is that told Of
Confederate family directly
after the great conflict. Mrs.
Chestnut mentions IT in her DIARY
From Dixie" and man who heard it
at first hand tells II as follows in the
New York Sun:
THE soldier had enlisted in Georgia
from his home, where his father re-
NAMED undisturbed during the strug-
gle. The young man had fought through
the war without a scratch, save a
slight wound which had left him
partially deaf. This affliction he had
never referred 10 In any of his letters
After the surrender he communi-
Gated with his father, saying he would
reach home on or about a certain date.
Travel then was uncertain. and he was
not positive as TO when he would ar
rive. His father prepared to receive
him. Believing that his son would
come as promised, he arranged a
spread such as the conditions of his
surroundings at that time would per-
NIT. He had brought out his best
plates that had been secreted for a
long time, and with gold which had
been exhumed he bought such delica-
cies and substantials as the southern
market at that time afforded.
LAS many of the old time neighbOrs
as were living in the vicinity were in
vited to the home coming Of the re-
turning soldier. The ex-COnfederate
arrived on the old plantation the night
before the earliest date he had men
toned in his last letter. 1t was late,
