career occurred in New Orleans soon
after the civil war. He had gone south

The audience was tense with emotion,

COLOR BLINDNESS.

The Incident That Opened John Dai-
toms Eyes to His Afflietion.
John Dalton. the famous English
chemist and natural philosopher. with.
out whose discovery of the laws of
chemical combination chemistry as an
sxact science could hardly exist, was
wAoily eoior blind. His knowledge of
the fact came about by a happening of
the sort which we call chance. On his
mothers birthday. when be was a man
of twenty-six. he took her a pair Of
stockings which he had seen IN n shop
window. labeled silk. the newest
fashion"
Thee has bought me pair of gra nd
hose. John" said the mother. "but
what made thee fancy such II bright
color? Why. can never show myself

John was much disconnected. but he
told her that he considered the stock.

why, they're as red as a cherry
john" was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab in the
stockings. and they rested in the belief
that the good wife's eyes were out OF
order until she. having consulted vari-
Gus neighbors, returned with the YER
dict, "Varra fine stuff. but uncommon
scarlety."
The consequence was that John Dal
ton became the first to direct the at
tention of the scientific world to the
subject of color blindness.

AN IMPOSTER ARRESTED
Michael Barrett Arrested on Charge of
Attempting to Impersonate a Dead
Soldier and Get Pension.

The st. Johnsbury Republican says
that Michael Barrett. who has been
known in these parts for year or
two past, is in the Caledonia county
jail awaiting the sitting of the feder
al grand jury at Rutland in October.
He was arrested by Deputy y. S.
Marshal Miles of Newport on a war
rant issued by District Attorney Dun
nett He was taken before U. S.
Commissioner Harry Blodgett in St.
Johnsbury and bail fixed at 81, 600
which he was unable to furnish and
he was placed in jail. The charge
against him is that he attempted to
defraud the government by securing a
pension.
The government investigation of
the claim tends to show that Barrett

years ago as a tramp. claiming to be

TWO FARM FIRES.

Fire Saturday evening destroyed
the entire set of farm buildings be-
longing to H. N. Paquette, who lives
in the west part of tn town of Glow
er. A number of neighbors. were
making call at Mr.. Paquette's that
evening by invitation to listen to
little musical entertainment by the
Misses Paquette. The visiting teams
to the number of five had been
hitched in the barn and all were
making merry when the barn was dis
covered on fire and had made such
headway that it was impossible to
save anything from the barn, the five
horses and buggies of the visitors as
well as two of Mr.. Paquette's horses
were burned Mr. 2aGuette also lost
nine cows. seven sheep and other
stock in the fire, all his farming i'm
plements and barely had time to save
little household furniture. 1T is
not known how the fire originated.
! The loss is placed at about $4,000 with
| $250O insurance.
On the same evening Arthur Will
liams in the town of Bloomington
near Evansville lost his barn by fire.
With the barn were burned six cows,
one horse, seven hogs and a quantity
of farm tools. The fire started from
lantern which was left in the barn
floor while chores were being done,
and it is supposed it tipped over OIL
exploded. The Monitor is unable to
learn the estimated loss and insur-
ance carried.
