"There's a Reason' for POSTUM
BROKE UP THE GAMES. .'
Charley's Antics With His "Bread an
. Butter an' Sugar On."
Charley was a nice husky boy, but
he had one serious fault, which I deem
It my duty to mention, although it was
perhaps a natural symptom of real boy
hood. In the middle of an exciting
game of woolly-woolly-wolf, three-old-cat,
nibs or shinny he would slip away
borne, to return presently with a per
fectly paralyzing slice of bread an' but
ter an' sugar on. ,v
Now, if you were ever a boy yourself
you'll agree that Charley was very im
moral to behave that -way. The effect
was always disastrous. ; The . game
would come to an Immediate bait.
while every kid in the bunch gazed
longingly at Charley's lunch, each of
us ruminating silently on the jvisdom
of a combined attack, since none of us
would for a moment think of trying to
share the tempting tidbit single hand-
And that, too, you will say was
natural enough if you're been a boy.
But the particular reason why Char
ley's offense was immoral was. the way
be carried his bread an' butter an" sugar
on. He didn't hold It in tlie grasp of.
bis hand like other boys; he elevated It
daintily on the tlp8 of his fingers and
thumb, just as a waiter carries a tray.
That, I say, was immoral. And he ate
around it in concentric circles, ever ap
proaching the supreme saccharine' pin
nacle of palatabllity at the geograph
ical center of the slice. But long be
fore he had circumscribed his luncheon

THE FIELD OF VISION.
Even Persons With Normal Eyes Are
Partially Color Blind.
The various tests for color blindness
have come Into practical nse in the ex
amination , of railroad engineers and
the like, where the ability to distin
guish colors is necessary, so that these
tests are no longer peculiar to the lab
oratory. But It Is not generally known
outside the laboratory that everybody
is partially color blind that Is, in cer
tain parts of the field of vision.
The most normal individual can see
all the colors only when be .'looks di
rectly at them. If looked at from an
angle of about fifteen degrees red and
green can no longer be seen, but In
their places will appear shades of yel
low or blue. This region of the eye Is
known as the yellow-blue zone. - If the
color be moved still farther to the side
the yellow and blue will disappear and
only gray can be seen. This region Is
known as the zone of complete color
blindness.
An interesting theory In regard to
these zones Is that every normal eye
represents three stages of evolution
The zone of complete color bllnduess
Is the lowest stago and appears in
such animals as the frog, whose vi
sion is known as shadow vision. The
blue-yellow zone is one step higher in
the scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
anpearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, according
to this theory, a lack of development
beyond the early stage In the individ
ual life. Professor Poffenberger in
Strand Magazine.

NEW POSTMASTER-GENERAL HOPES
V TO ESTABLISH ONE-CENT POSTAGE
Albert S. Burleson, the new post
master-general, faces many intricate
problems in connection with the
operation of the post office system
throughout the country.
According to those well posted in
Washington, he comes well qualified
for this position. Postmaster-General
Burleson is a native of Texas,
and "was educated at Agricultural
and Mechanical College, Baylor Uni
versity, and ' University of Texas."
He was admitted to tne Dar in leoi;
is assistant city attorney at
Austin, Texas, from 1886 to 1890:
attorney of the twenty-sixth. Judicial
district from 1892 to 1896, and was
a member of the: 56th, 57th, 58th,
59th, 60th, 61st and 62nd congresses.
He has been a deep student of postal
affairs for many years.
One of the important matters
which the postmaster-general will
be called upon to deal with will be
the. establishing of one-cent letter
postage. He has indicated to repre
sentatives 01 tne .National une ient
Letter Postage Association that he
heartily favors one-cent letter post
age, and hopes to bring it about just
as soon as a satisfactory adjustment
of affairs can be had.
He strongly favors efficient service
in the department; adequate com
pensation for post office employes,
and an equalization of postal rates.
He hopes that one-cent letter post
age is not far distant and that it
may become a monument to the ad
ministrative ability of the depart
ment of which he is head.
