Color Blindness.

Tic term color blindness implies an
entire absence Of tho color sense. and
there are few persons who are in thi.,
condition, bit it also includes ali tho
forms of partial color blindness III
which the perception Of one OF the
fundamental colors red, green and
vioiet-is wanting. and which are
known as red blindness, green blind
ness and violet blindness. The Hue be-
tween these various kinds of coloi
blindness ana ~ perfect perception oil
colors is not sharply drawn, so that Il
large number of persons have what Is
called IL feeble color sense, which falls
short Of actual coloy blindness. There
Is no doubt that color blindness Ia Its
various forms is much more common
than is generally supposed, and ii is
more common among the inlperfectly
than the we'll educated classes.

been it is not meteoric. There

Bryan burning in the heart

the underlying principle of
Father Vaughn's success hon

The Chinese discovered Their Use ~

The first European to learn of tho
use of cat us Il time Indicator was
NJ. Hue, who In a work OH the Chinese
empire tells how he was initiated into
the mystery.
NJ. Hue and a party of friends set
out to visit Chinese Christian mis-
sion settlement among the peasantry.
They met young Chinaman on the
road, and to test his intelligence they
asked him II he could tell them the
time. The native looked UP at the sky,
hut 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 few moments with a
cat in his arms. Pushing up Its eyelids
with his hand. lie told Hue to look at
them, at the same time volunteering
the information that it was not noon
get. While they were pGzling over
the case the boy went about his bust
Eess.
When the party reached the village
they asked the Christian converts If
they could tell the time by cats eyca
and how it was DONE Immediately
there was wild hunt. and all the cats
obtainable in the ncghborhood were
brought before them.
The Chinese pointed out that the pu
pills of cats eyes were gradually mar
rover UP to 10 noon, when they be
came scarcely perceptible lines drawn
perrcndicularly across the eye, and
after that dl!ation recommended Hue
examined the eyes of several cats and
verified what the Chinese had told

What America Needs.

Wall Street Journal: "What
America needs more than rail-
way eXtention, and western ir-
rigation, and low tariff, and a
bigger wheat crop, and a mer-
chant manine, and a new navy,
is a revival Of piety, the kind
mother and father used to have
piety that counted it good bus
mess to stop for daily family
prayers before breakfast, right
in the middle of harvest; that
quit field work a half hour early
Thursday night, so as to get I'll e
chores done and 60 prayer meo-
ting; that borrowed money to
to pay the preachers salary I'd
pray fervently in secret for the
salvation of the rich man who
looked with seorn on such un.
business-like behavior. That's
what we need now to clean
this country of the filth of graft
and greed, petty and big; of
worship Of fine houses and big
lands and high office and grand
social functions. What is this
thing we are worshiping but a
vain repetition of what decayed
nations fell down and worship
ed just before their light went
out? Read the history of Rome
in decay and you will find luxu-
ry there that could lay a big
dollar over our little doughnut
that looks SO large to us. Great
wealth never made a natio n
substantial nor honorable
There is nothing on earthzthat
looks that is SO dangerous for a
man or nation to handle as
quick, easy big money. If you
do resist its deadly influences
the chances are that it will get

finer heroism to dare to be pc or
