Color Blindness.

_ Prof. Ramsay believes that the particular defect giving rise to color-blind-ness lies not in the eye itself, but in the brain. Certain persons, he points out, are incapable of judging which of two musical tones is the higher, even when they are more than an octave apart. Yet, as such persons hear either tone perfectly, the defect is not one of deafness. He accordingly argues that in such persons the brain is at fault, and thence proceeds to the assumption that it,may be equally true that the inability to perceive certain colors is not due to a defect in the instrument of sight by the eye, but to the power of interpreting the impressions conveyed to the brain by the optic nerve.

No Use for Second-Hand Teeth. Little Johnny Fizzletop is an Austin boy who has been obliged for many years to wear the cast-olf clothing of his elder brother, Bob. Johnny never gets anything until Bob gets through with it. A few days ago Bob had a dreadful toothache, and it was decided that the aching tooth should be pulled. “You may pull all his teeth out if you like," said Johnny, “but I ain’t going to chew with them afterward. I can tell you that right now." —Texas Siftings.
