My mother lias had a cough for twen

Bronchial trouble. Two years ago, her
lungs becoming involved, she became

of a physician and taking medicine all
the hours of the day. This com.inued
until a year ago when I saw your adver

consumption and procured a bottle, as
the tickling in her throat was unremit

impracticable. She was so much re

and we now buy by the case, she never

COLOR BLINDNESS,
HOW DEFECTIVE VISION IS TEST
ED BY A DOCTOR,
Many Strange Mistakes Sometimes
Made by Would-Be Railroad Men
—A Man Who Could Not Tell
Cherries From Leaves.
“What color is that?”
The speaker was Dr. B. F. Clark,
physician of the C., H. and D. Railroad.
A tall man stood before a table on
which were piled in great confusion sev
eral hundred skeins of different colored
Worsteds. They were of every shade
and hue, from pea-green to mazarine
blue, from solferino red to purple, gray,
cherry and brown.
The doctor continued: “The object
of this test is to select the light and
dark shades, Now, I'll go on and select
them first,” and the doctor put all the
light aud dark shades running from pea
green to dark green in a little pile by
themselves. The than watched him
closely, and the greens were all thrown
back into the heap, and the man began.
“Dou’t let your hand run over the
worsted, but let your eye do the work/’
said the doctor, as the man began fiimb
ling the pile.
The man put gray and light yellow
and brown together.
“That’ll do,” said the doctor.
“That man is not fit for an engineer,
fireman, brakeman, switchman, conduc
tor, or, in fact, any one who has use for
signals. Ho is color-blind. That test
alone is sufficient for any railroad, army
or navy. Now to determine what this
man’s chromatic defect is we select a
pink skein. If he is blind he will pick
out blues or violets, or both. If lie
should be green blind lie will select
grays and greens or blue greens. Some
times, to verify the two previous tests,
we lay out the red skein, aud the party
selects browns or greens in their different
shades.”
“Wliat percentage do you find, of all
those examined, to be color-blind?”
“About four per cent, are color-blind.
That is one out of every twenty-five in
dividuals. There are more red blind than
any other color. The C., 11. and 1).
road has only the green and red lights,
other roads have white, red and green.”
“Why do you have worsteds as the
test, doesn’t the Pennsylvania Company
use a stick?”
“Yes, they use a stick with about
forty different colored skeus, but worsted
is better than silk because the dye is per
fect and not glaring. It is often asked
why we don’t examine the men by the
lamps. It is one of the most difficult
things to stain the glass regularly. YV nen
the glass is blown it can not be made all
the same color. Then, if the glass is
thicker the color will be darker. Again,
sometimes the wick is turned higher,
and then the fight has a greater lumin
osity, while the other is a very dull
fight. There may be dust or steam over
the glass, and the fight will be darker.
A dirty white flag to one color-blind
would be taken for a green flag, which
means safety. They would take a dirty
dark green for red, which means danger.
This would lead to endless confusion.
“How have you proved this, doctor?”
“Why, I recollect taking one man
down to the depot aud asked him to
name the colors from the creek up, which
he named all right with the exception of
the last lamp—the first one was from the
depot—that lamp being covered with
dust and the wick turned low. He mis
took the green for the red, and said ‘the
switch was wrong. ’ We then approached
the lamp, and he did not discover his
mistake until he was within about thir
ty-five or forty feet. There are often
cases where men who are color-blind cut
knotches in their stricks. I had one
man who said lie could ndt pick cherries
—could not tell them from the leaves
only by their form. He said the sur
roundig hills were red. And that the
outside of a water-melon was red and the
inside green, but he knew from hearsay
that the opposite was true.”
“Do you believe this to be <1 congenital
defect?”
u Yes; but it may also arise from dis
ease, injuries and the excessive use of to
bacco and alcohol. In one family I
know of four who are color-blind, two
brothers and two sisters; in another fam
ily an uncle iiid a nephew.”
“Do yttu examine for anything else?”
“Oh, yes. ft is just as important to
examine for vision and hearing as it is
for color-blindness. In order to make
the test for vision this is the programme:
A test plate containing letters that can be
seen at 200 feet and twenty feet, twenty
feet being the normal eye, is placed at
one end of the room. The room is dark
ened. The patient placed twenty feet
distant, and then is requested to cover
one eye while the other is being examined.
If he sees what we call twenty twentieths
—that is, the letters representing twenty
feet—he has normal Vision. Both eyes
are put to this test—first the right, then
then the left. If he Has a vision in both
eyes of twenty fiftieths minus—that is
to say, if he can’t see at twenty feet what
he ought to see at fifty—he is rejected,
provided glasses don’t improve the vision.
If a man can’t see that big B, the large
letter, which he ought to see at 200, at
twenty feet with only one eye, then he
has practically only one eye, and there
have been several examined who never
knew that they could uot see out of only
one eye.”
“How do you test for hearing?”
“With my watch. The man is re
quired to cover up his eyes and I place
my watch to his ear, gradually removing
it away until the exact distance that he
can hear the ticking is known. Ho says
“No” when he ceases P 5 hear it. Now,
two-thirds of all the engineers are hard
of hearing, or, better, defective in the
right ear. which is due to their leaning
out of the cab window, coming in con
itantcontact with the wind—that is to say,
■ the force of the wind coming in constant
contact wjth the drum of tne ear it becomes
'iffeetgd. The constant pressure on the
drum ef the ear ha? the effot of retracing
it. |t beco@ef concave. The yange of
vision is also tasted. This is done by
placing a man twelve or eighteen inches
from a black board. He is requested to
keep his eye directly on a (balk spot
which is on a level with the eye, the
other eye being closed. Ho it directed
to say “yes” the moment he sees any
thing moving toward that spot from
,above, below, to the right and to the
left. This constitutes his range of
vision. If he has any disease or injury
to the eye we can always map out his
range of vision, as the range is usually
contracted in one of tho four different
directions. To illustrate, one man had
a range of vision in the right eye three
inches to the left, six inches above,eight
inches to the right and ten inches be
low. Of course he was rejected be
cause he could not see au approaching
train.”
‘•Why do you reject switchmen or
brakemen who have but one eye?”
“Because there arc oftentimes flat cars
loaded with lumber projecting over the
side of the car or ends, and consequently
if he was blind on that side he could not
see the car coming in and would be liable
to be injured." —Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Petrified Man.
Our Australian cousins have got a novel
sensation in the form of a petrified man,
atid it is clear that they place great store
by the new acquisition. The remains of
a person long deceased, Would not, as a
rule, fetch any very extravagant sum in
the market; but it is evident that this
particular specimen of the genus homo
possesses an exceptionally high value iu
the eyes of his Australian discoverers. A
man who has been literally turned to
stone—a real human being, not a mere
carved or sculptured statue, whose body
and limbs, nevertheless consist in every
part of solid rock—may not be entitled
to be called a man of the stone age, yet
he is a curiosity of sufficient interest to
make the fortune of any showman who
may get possession of him. Henci it is
that the first public appearance of the
stone man is in the law courts of the
capital of New South Wales. This petri
fied fellow creature begun to find work
for the lawyers from the moment of his
discovery. Meanwhile he has been ex
hibited to the public by two showmen,
who were accused of being in unlawful
possession of this fossilized specimen of
prehistoric man. The case has at length
been settled in favor of the defendants,
who will, therefore, be able to continue
their exhibition, which is understood to
lie as good as a gold mine to the lucky
showmen. No doubt the “petrified man' 1
will eventually turn up in London, and
perhaps Mr. Barnum may make up his
mind to add this latest anthropological
curiosity to the attractions of the new
museum now on its way to London.—

Thibetan Customs.
All Thibetans slain in battle are hon
ored by the people with offerings of
sweet-scented flowers. They salute their
superiors liy taking off their hats and
thrusting out their tongues three times.
The people say the climate differs every
few miles. The punishments are very
severe. No matter whether the crime
be grave or trivial, the matter great or
small, all offenders, when caught, are
tied up in a dark room with ail their
limbs bound, and kept there until
dragged out for trial. Sentences of
death are carried out by binding the
criminal to a pillar and shooting at him
with muskets and bows in a contest for
drink, by taking him to a cave swarming
with scorpions and allowing the latter to
sting him, or by handing him over to be
divided and eaten up by the savages of
the IT cotihtry.
They ptlt their dead iu bags made of
hides, which they suspend for seven days
from the ridge poles of their dwellings,
while Lama priests chant the liturgy, and
afterward they are carried to mountain
peaks,where the flesh is cut into thin slices
and thrown to the dogs to eat; this is called
the earth interment. The bones are
pulverized, made into pills about the size
of beans and given to eagles to eat; this
is called interment. The sick do not
take medicine, but are placed in the
scorchiug heat of the sun With their
bodies daubed all over with butter.—

A Big Colonization Scheme.
Sir John Lister Kaye, who has eleven
separate farms of 10,000 acres each,about
three hundred miles west of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, has a novel scheme of coloniza
tion. His first object is to secure im
migration, and for this end he has made
arrangements with the Government for
the purchase of 236,000 acres of land at a
modest price, this land to be situated ad
jacent to hi* farms. Upon these acres
He intends to establish twenty settle
ments of seventy farms each, thus pro
viding for 1400 families, which, by
allowing to each family five persons, will
add to the population and at the same time
accommodate with homes 7000 persons.
His intention is to locate the farms,
have a dwelling house and outbuildings
on each, wells dug, seed in the ground
and everything ready for the settlers
when they arrive; then he proposes to
lend to such as require a loan the sum of
SI2OO to pay on their land, and to pro
vide such other necessaries as may be re
quisite to go on with their work. In
each group of seventy families is to be
established a sort of “central village,” in
which will be a school house, a little
church, a blacksmith shop, store, wagon
maker’s shop, etc., etc. —Vhieago Ilertdd.
A Bit of Information.
“I picked up a bit of information tlic
other day,” said a city hotel clerk, “that
I hadn’t thought of before. A couple of
men were talking in the office, when one
asked on what day of the week Christ
mas will be this year. ‘Let’s see,' re
plied the other. ‘I was married on the
first day of May. That was Wednesday.
Christmas will come on Wednesday.'
That struck me forcibly, and when I got
aljttle leisure I gathered up a lot of old
calendars and investigated it. I found
that it is true that the Ist day of May
agd Christmas of the same year occur cm
the same day of the week.

As I have put the time off as late as I
possiblv could, I hope every tax-payer
will pay up promptly, as li. lias, will be
issued after tho dates have expired. The
law requires me to register the legal
voters when they pay tlieir tax. This
takes time. So a- n’t put off paying till
the last days at the court house.
