COLOR BLIND PAINTERS.
A l.onilon Oculist AMNortH That There
Arc Such VrtlMtM.
ToKpeiik of a color blind artist sounds
liki! jukiiig, .said noted oculist but,
Btriinae as it sepnis, there are several
persons t-'O affected wiio cau nevertheless
piiint extremely well. Numbers of color
blind people there are, of course, who
draw perfectly in pencil, ink and cray
ons, hut I myself know a scene painter
attached to a provincial theater who,
though "color blind," paints all its
scenery, and has quite a local name,
nor, only fur his "interiors" and oak
chambers, but even for landscapes.
I can tell you also of two London la
dies who consulted nie for color blind
ness who paint really beautiful pictures.
One is the daughter of a late famous
artist and was taught painting 1-y her
father. She is quite unable to distin
guish red from green, but her colors are
all labeled with the names, and Ehe
has been taught which to use for cer
tain effects. Possibly her painting may
seem to her eyes, as it were, drawing
with a brush and "shading" with the
colors.
The other is a lady artist of some
celebrity, who has for years exhibited
annually in London. The public is not
aware that 6he is color blind. She
painted the "Wedding Group" for a
certain noble bridegroom a year or two
ago and also several public men's por
traits and one of aa eminent physician
fetched 500 guineas.
There is a gentleman residing at
Kensington who, having years ago left
the navy through finding his advance
ment hopelessly barred by his color
blindness, is at present making several
hundreds a year by his brash as an
artist, designing most artistic and
brightly colored picture posters for ad
vertisement hoardings. London An

Carv«4 HIa Epitapb and Died.
"John Harmon died here from the
bite of a rattlesnake."
This is an inscription on a beech tree
standing on tLe knobs, in Monroe town­|asked
ship, back of Jeffersonville. A date
once followed the words, but it is now
indistinct There is a strange story con
nected with the inscription. An oid
resident relates it.
"Years ago, when that section of In
diana was little explored and wh:u
the heavy bush was the dwelling ph
of the wild turkey, deer and rattle.--n il.y,
John Harmon started to Charlestown
to attend court. He w.'s armed with an
old fashioned rifle. A attler bit Har
mon's leg. Harmon kilied the reptile.
Then he began to prepare for death. It
was he who carved the words in lighter
lines oil the tree, with the request be
neath, long siuc.e obliterated by the
tree's growth, to bury him on the spot.
A few days later Harmon's body was
found. A grave was dug by the tree and
there it can be seen today."—Louisville
Courier-Journal
Excemiive Precaution.
A southwest Georgia couple going to
be married, the prospective husband
said:
"Molly, the last time I wae married
I lost the ring 'fore 1 got to the par
son's. But I'm 6hore of it this time."
"Whar is it, John!'" she asked.
"I've got it in my mouth," he said.
'Ira shore of it now."
But when they stood before the
preacher the latter asked:
"Where ie the ring?"
The groom gulped—choked—stutter
ed, and finally exclaimed in despair:
'Fore de Lord, I done swallered
it!"—Atlanta Constitution.

Vienna.
Here we have a proud, imperial city,
rather disdainful of trade, aristocratio
and easy going, conscious of a long
past, its rulers still animated with the
conviction that they are the successors
of Charlemagne and Otto, looking on
Berlin as parvenu, on London as merely
commercial, on Paris as half crazy. Ex
cepting in the domain of music, Vienna
is not a home of art and cnlture, but it
is a oenter of dignity and grace and a
certain calm air of superiority, which,
however, does not offend. It is content
to look on while other places explore
and write and toil and push and strain
it stands on its rank it can never forget
its 16 qnarterings and its claims to
high estate.
Vienna is most interesting perhaps as
the meeting place between east and
west, where the fine gentleman rubs
shoulders in the afternoon lounge along
the Graben with the Bosnian peasant.
The guardian of Europe's ancient order,
the center of a great and most interest
ing empire, the city of leisure and of a
pride so lofty that it does not know
itself to be pride at all, Vienna is both
a charming city and an important polit
ical center, as she will continue to be,
no matter what is the fate of the Aus
trian empire.—London Spectator.
M. de Funtenelle'a Brlgrbt Speeches.
M. said of a young follow who
did not see that a lady was in lovo
with him: "You are very young. You
can only read large print."
A preacher said: "When Pere Bour-:
dalouo preached at Rouen, he caused a
great deal of disorder The workmen
left their shops, the doctors their pa-1
tieuts, etc. I preached there the follow
ing year and set everything right."
A !y 00 years of a said to do'
L'unii-'.iullc. who was !)5, "Death has
forgotten us." "Hush!" replied Fon
tenelle, putting his finder on his lips.
A conceited dolt interrupted a conver
sation by, "I have an idea." A wit re
marked, "Astonishing!"
A courier said, "After the death of
his majesty there's nothing ono can't
believe."
M. de Fontenelle, then in his ninety
seventh year, having just paid Mme.
Helvetius a thousand pretty compli
ments, passed her on his way to the
table, without seeming to notice her.
"See," said Mme. Helvetius, "what ac
count 1 should take of your gallantry.
You went by without looking at me."
"Madame," said the old gentleman,
"if 1 had looked at you I should not
have passed by you."—Gentleman's
Magazine.

"I want a horse and trap for a fu
neral. Can yon let me have them?" in
quired the young man in the loud check
suit of the cautious liveryman, whose
stock occupies the same place in his
affections that a wife and family should.
"Well, if you're careful, "replied the
cautious liveryman slowly.
Tho turnout was at last ready, and
while the young man in the loud check
suit was arranging himself in his seat
the proprietor patted the horse, an es
pecial fa\ oiite, tried the buckles of the
harness, shook the shafts and performed
all the usual ceremonies due upon such
an occasion. Then, as be handed up the
reins, he said absentmindedly:
"He's very willing and quick. Be
careful not to drive too fast."
The young man regarded him in sur
prise for a moment, and then assever
ated.
"Well, I'm going to keep up with
the funeral if it kills him J"—London

A Bridle to Her.
Polk Miller of Richmond is known as
a raconteur of plantation life in the
south before the war. One story told by
Mr. Miller will well bear repetition.
An old darky named Absalom was the
favorite attendant of a widower ac
quaintance of Miller, and as rumor
bad it that the widower intended tak
ing unto himself a second wife Miller
Absalom if it were true. Absalom
scratched his woolly pate for a moment
and replied that he reckoned it was.
"Well," said Miller, "will he take a
bridal tour?"
This somewhat puzzled Absalom for
an instant then an inspiration struck
him, and he said, "I dunno 'bout a
bridle, sah, but when de ole missus was
live he used to taik a paddle to her so
maybe he taik a bridle to de new one!"

Hot Her Snap Shotn.
As President McKinley entered the
station at Omaha tlie other day the
crowd lined up as usual upon two sides
of a passage that was roped off and pro
tected hy the police. Half way across
the platform a woman with a kodak
dodged tuu fraard and sprang out before
Mr MeKiniey The chief of police, who
led the procession, ordered her away,
but the president interfered and took off
his hat so that she might get a better
view of his face. Backing rapidly a few
feet in advance, she got several good
map shots aud then disappeared.
He Won Her.
"I learn," she said reproachfully,
"that you were devoted to no fewer
than five girls before yon finally pro
posed to me. How do I know that yon
didn't make desperate love to all of
them?"
"1 did," he replied promptly.
"Yon did I" she exclaimed.
"Certainly," he returned. "You
don't suppose for a minute I would t»-.
foolhardy enough to try for such a prism
as yon are without practicing a little i.
first, do you?"—Chicago Post.

Some years ago, according to the Lon
don Ladies' Kennel Journal, Sir Henry
Irving had a dog he called Midsummer
Night's Dream. He thought it was a
bull terrier and niado a present of it to
G. W. Childs. The animal was exhibit
ed in a Philadelphia exhibition, where
it attracted considerable attention. This
roused the ire of the other exhibitors,
and they declared that Midsummer
Night's Dream was not a ball terrier,
but a half bred bulldog. One of tbem
wrote on a piece of paper, which was
attached to the dog's kennel, "Henry
Irving may know a great deal about
Shakespeare, but he knows nothing
about bull terriers."
Smarter Than He Looked.
A Boston broker boasts of rather a
bright office boy. One of his friends
dropping in at the office dispatched the
lad for some cigars, giving him a $1
bill to pay for them. The boy returned
with four cigars. The caller commended
him for purchasing such good ones, and
passed them around. Shortly after the
broker was left alone in thg office,
when the shrewd urchin handed him
six cigars with the remark, 'Ere's the
rest of them cigars, Mr. Margin."—
