Posting lancis-
The new laws providing for and
regulating the posting of lands,
enclosed :t:ul unenclosed, requires
the posting of notices in at least two
places on the land to be protected
arid the registering of the name of
party with the clerk of the super
ior court. The registration book
is to he furnished by the commis
sinners and the tax receiver is re
cjuired to take this book with him
on his rounds and register such
parties as wish to post their lands.
This is a brief synopsis ot the law
as passed by the hist legislature.—

A New York court basset a valua

had kept an account of t he times she
Lad been kissed which numbered
over 1200. She wanted her $30,-
000.00 The court awarded her
$ pooo setting the valuation ol
each fit $2.37 so to speak. We
don’t doubt but that the young
lady who would keep an account

COLOR IGNORANCE.
It Is e. JlitTl'-r Wholly Apart From
Color Uliii(S:--i Ms.
Color blindness was the topic under
discussion. •'They tell me I’m color
blind,” said the lawyer, “but I don’t j
believe it. Often, I admit. I make mis
takes in colors. I-say that pink is red, j
I siiy that gr ■■ 11 is blue. Put it is only \
the names of tbs colors lam off in. I
am not, I insist, color blind." The ocu
list who was in the party nodded ap
proval.
“Cxactly,” lie said. “These diagnos- ;
ticlans of yours mistake your case.
They take eoior ignorance for color
blindness. Hero they are as wrong as
though they should say music igno
rance was music blindness—as though,
I mean, because you could not tell that
a certain struck note was ‘E fiat,’ you
were dead to all musical gradations.
Some years ago, when the examination
in colors of railroad men was inau
gurated, a howl went up over the
amazing amount of color blindness in
America, and many a good man lost
his job unjustly. These men had been
off in the names of colors, not in the
colors themselves. They could in a
day or two have been taught what they
lacked. Many of them, it is likely,
were not color blind. 1 say this be
cause recently I heard of an examina
tion of Sou railroad men that was con
ducted in the proper way on an Eng
lish line. About seventy of these men
were a little off regarding color nomen
clature, but not a single one of them
was color blind.”— Philadelphia Ilecord,
Orlon<al Sqnaiters.
Most artists depicting the east show
men sitting erosslegged. tailor farliion.
Easterners don’t sit like that. Usually
they stick their calves beneath them,
sit on their heels and with the soles of
the feet pointed upward, a painful pos
ture for an occidental. The Hindoo
flsually rests on his haunches, with his
knees pyramid style and his chin on
their level. Try thatmttitude ten min
utes and see how yon like it.
Traveling eastward, as soon as you
touch Turkey you reach a district
1 where sitting on the floor is the custom.
I
You may then jour soy on for thou
sands of miles, also north and south,
and the millions in that region are all
floor squatters. When you arrive in
China, however, then you are among
other millions who sit on chairs. Go
over to Japan, and then you get among
squatters again. The question is, Why
should the Chinese, among all the na
tions of the east, use chairs?
How Hoiiuiiih Toole Their Food.
The Romans reclined at their ban-
I quets on couches, all supporting them
selves on one elliow and eating with
their lingers from dishes placed in the
center of the table. Each was supplied
with a napkin, and knives were used,
though it does not appear that every
one was supplied with one. Nothing,
it would seem, could be more fatiguing
than to partake of a repast in such an
awkward posture or less conducive to
neatness, it being almost impossible to
keep the hands clean even with water
supplied by .the slaves or to prevent the
food and wine from falling on the
clothing and the draperies of the couch.
Tins manner of eating disappeared
dm ng the dark ages so far as the
eoi -h was concerned, but the peculiar
ity of taking the food with lingers from
a Common dish continued afterward
for more than 1,000 years.
