ANIMAL VlSlON.
Evidences That Discrimination in Colors
Is Lacking.
There is little positive evidence that
the larger quadrupeds, oxen, deer, the
felidae, or dogs, have much sense of
color; and their power of vision in its .
wider sense varies so greatly in differ-
ent species as to suggest that the men-
tal factor in sight is often so little ex-
erted for the main purpose of discern-
ing objects as to leave its more special-
ized use for distinguishing color very
imperfectly developed. Domestic ani-
mals which see bright colors other
than green in large masses more fre-
quently than wild ones, might be sup-
posed to exhibit the consciousness of
such , differences in the most pro-
nounced way. Yet it is next to impos-
sible to cite'au instance in which adog
exhibits curiosity as to color, or iden-
tifies an object by its hue.
The writer has seen a. setter refuse,
to retrieve a black rabbit because it
apparently thought its master had
shotablack cat. I, But a house-living
dog shows no preference for a red car—
pet or rug over a blue or variegated
'one. and expresses no,surprise or curi-
osity whether its master wears a red
uniform or a black evening suit. Do-
mestic cattle are so far affected by vio-
lent contrast of white and dark that
the presence of'a black, white or very
clearly spotted animal in the herd.
sometimes results in calves being
thrown of the same color or markings.
But though red is said to irritate a. bull,
and to excite hunters by association of
ideas, the latter statement rests partly _ , 1
on surmise. They are equally excited
by the sound or sight of hounds, or of
a number of riders; whatever the color
of their coats. None of the cats,
whether wild or tame, shows any par-
tiality for bright hues; and among all
the stratagems used from time imme-
morinl by hunters, the use of color as
a lure for quadrupcds is notably ab-
sent. -—London Spectatm.

DIDN T HAVE ANY use ‘AL BRAND
How a Country Cousin Made Miserable a
Newly Made Man About Town.
When an adaptive young man from
New ‘1' ol L, and absorbs enough of its
almospheie to gain the prestige of a
1egular boulevardier, it's pretty band
now and again to have old- times thrust
upon him in the poison of a primitive
cousin or b1other-' -1n- law, whom he is
bound in conscience to entertain. A
case of this kind occurred last- week,
in which the artlcss relative saw noth-
ing but a screaminglyfunnylapse of
memory, while the 1111111 about town
found a. mortification therein which
was pretty hard to live through.
A complete deliverance of the bump-
kin into the hands of the outfitter made
him presentable, and then there was
the little bachelor dinner at a Fifth
avenue hotel given by the swell to all
the smart men. who wanted "to meet
your cousin, don’t you know.”
All went merry until the Wine list
talked too loud and refused to under-
stand any monitory wink, but then he
said nothing too badly out of place.
"What Wine will you have?” said the
cousin, addressing him.
“Haw! haw! I don’t know, Cousin
Dick, anything about the wine. You’ll
have to se’ttle that yourself.”
“Shall we begin ‘ona bottle of San-
terne?”
“Lordy, how can I tell! Anything
you like!” shouted the red-checked,
bullet-headed youth, who couldn’t
make head or tail of the winks and
looks of deadly warning emanating
from the swell’s eye.
People at adjoining tables pricked up
their ears in amused curiosity, while
the guests at the. table looked a trifle
disconcerted at the bumpkin’s noise.
“What,” said the sWell, firmly plant~
ing his index finger on the Word
“Medoc,” and glaring at the youth
mesmerically, so that he might under-
stand and repeat it, “do you generally
take?”
“Usually!” shouted the youth. “Haw!
Haw! Haw! Isn’t that great? Usual-
ly nothing. Of course; never see wine.
How could I? You know that, Cousin
Dick, as well as I do. You never saw
wine at home, and now New York
makes you forget all about it. Usually
——Haw! Haw!” and the terrible youth
stretched out at full length and roared
satisfactorily for about five minutes,
while a sense of frozenness stole over
his cousin and the swells looked on in
amused pity.
That frozen cousin is dead hence-
forth to family ties, in so far as dining
social recruits is concerned, at least.—
N. Y. Herald.
The Fatal Word.
“My darling,” he exclaimed, raptur-
ously, “How brilliant you are. You
fairly—er—bristle with ideas.”
The Chicago girl drew herself up
to her full height and brushed him
haughtily aside as she swept out of the
room. .
“You seem to forget”—she turned on
net heel at the door and faced him—-
"that I cannot brook any reference to
gay father’s business.”—N. Y. World.
HIS RELIGION ALL RIGHT.
It Was Any Kind That Was Necessary for
the Occasion.
“Reminiscences of an Emi-
grant Milesian” is the following. cu-
rious anecdote: . Stack, formerly of
Walshe’s regiment, was among the offi-
cers of the Irish brigade who went on
half-pay at its dissolution. He had re-
mainedion half—pay so long that he be-
came the oldest colonel in the army.
He obtained his promotion to the rank
of major-general after a somewhat
curious interview with the duke of York,
the commander in chief at that time.
Having solicited the honor of an audi-
ence of his royal highness, he received
an intimation that the duke would re-
ceive him at the horse guards next day.
He was punctual in his attendance, and
being introduced to the commander in
chief was honored by the customary
question:
“Well,
you?”
“I perceive, sir,” replied Stack, “that
there is a brevet coming out, in which
I hope to be included. I am the senior
colonel in his majesty’s service.”
“True, Col. Stack; but give me leave
to ask you-of what religion you are?”
“I am of the religion of a major
general.”
The duke bowed, and Stack was
gazetted.

Petrified Oysters.
A bed of petrified oysters has been
found on the top of Big mountain, just
back of Forkston, Wyoming county,
Pa. Some of the specimens are of
mammoth size, one in Mr. Reynolds’
possession measuring twenty-two inches
long ‘by nine inches wide and weighing
The specimens range in
all sizes, from this down to the ordinary
edible oysters of the present time.
Some of the specimens show the eye of
the oyster perfectly, and in all of them
the meat is easily removed from the
shell. The bed seems to be confined to
a small mound, resting on a small plat-
eau, at the extreme top of the moun-
tain, near the Sullivan county line.

Executions Successful. '
Sum SING. April 24.—Therc was a dou-
I“ e execution at the state prison here to-
11'1y.Themen put to death were Louis
P Herman and Charles Pustalkn, both
of New York city, both Germans and both
wife murderers.
Herman shot and killed his wife dur
ing a quarrel on July 17,1895, and Pus-
tallza stabbed his spouse to death on Aug.
28 last because be suspected her of infidel-
ity. Herman asked as a. special favor
that he be executed first, and Warden Sage
granted the request. though he had origi-
nally intended to send Pustalka to the
chair in advance of Herman.
The warden was undoubtedly influenced
in his first decision by a desire to have the
more disagreeable part of the affair over
as soon as possible. Pustalka was of a
highly nervous temperament, and it was
feared that he might make a scene in the
execution chamber, while Herman was
stolid and apparently indifferent to his
fate. and no trouble was anticipated in
his case.
The witnesses to the executions were
invited to be present at 11 o ’clock, and the
major portion of them arrived on the train
reaching here from New York at 10: 53
a. m.
Shortly after 11 o’clock they assembled
in the prison office and were escorted to
the execution chamber by Warden Sage
and his assistants.
Herman was brought into the cham-
ber at 11:16 o’clock, and at 11:17:30 the'
current was turned on.
After 50 seconds it was turned off, and
Dr. Irvine, the prison physician, made an
examination, as a result-of which he an-
nounced that the man was not dead.
At 11:19 o’clock the current was again
turned on at full force for five seconds.
Another examination was made by Dr.
Irvine, followed by the other doctors pres-
ent. and at 11:21 o’clock Herman was
pronounced dead.
The Second Victim.
Herman’s body was removed from the
chair and placed on a dissecting table In
a room adjOining the death chamber, and
a new set of witnesses was admitted to see
the second execution.
Pustalka was brought into the room at
11:42 o’clock. He didn’t make the ex-
pected scene, but walked firmly to the
chair. At 11 :43:20 the signal was given by
Dr. Jerome, and the current was applied
for 50 seconds. After a little more than
a minute it was turned on again for five
seconds, and at 11:46 o’clock the doctors
declared him dead. Both executions were
pronounced entirely successful.
Pustalka and Herman spept their last
night as they have done since they were
brought to Sing Sing. Herman was the
life of the deathhouse,- while Pustalka
was inclined to be morose and seldom
talked to any one. When they were in-
formed that their'cases had been decided
against them, they were also told that
they would better prepare for death. Pus-
talka then began to allow the Rev. Father
Creedon of this village to look out for his
spiritual welfare. but Herman was not
much inclined to pay any attention to re-
ligion.
Father Creedon and Chaplain Weill
have visited the two men daily since Mon-
day to prepare them to meet death. Chap-
lain Weill talked to Herman, while Father
Creedon consoled Pustalka. The latter ap-
peared repentant and told the priest he
was ready and willing to meet death. His
spirits, however, Were broken, and the
priest told him to cheer up and die brave-
ly. This he said he would do 'and that he
would not give Warden Sage any trouble.
It was not until a. few minutes before
11 o’clock that Warden Sage went into the
deathhouse with Principal Keeper Con-
naughton and the priest and minister and
told the men that the time for their execu-
tion had arrived. Herman was c001 and
unconcernednvhile Pustalka appeared very
nervous and looked as if he would break
down before he was put into the chair.
The Last Hours.
The Rev. Father Creedon and Chaplain
Weill remained with the two men until
nearly midnight last night and were with
them early again this morning. From the
fact that the two ministers were on hand
early the two men may have realized that
this was to be their last day.
Herman went to bed- at midnight and
slept soundly until 4:30 o’clock this morn-
ing. Hethen dressed himself and had a
breakfast consisting of a beefsteak and
two eggs. Before he retired last night
Herman ate an oyster stew.
Pustalka did not go to bed until 4 o’clock
this morning and rolled about on his cot
until 6 o’clock, when he got up. He had
not slept more than half an hour and ap-
peared all broken down, He was moroso
and did not talk to any one, except to in-
quire the time from Keeper McNeill, who
is the chief of the death watch.
When Herman got up this morning,
he was very cheerful. In answer to an
inquiry he said he was strong and ready
to go to the chair whenever he was called.
He tried to cheer Pustalka and told him
‘ they had only to die once. Herman tried
to joke with Pustalka as to which one
’would meet death the braver, but Pustalka
was not in a jooular frame of mind and
did not reply to Herman.
Louis P. Herman shot his wife through
the heart and killed her on the afternoon
of July 17, 1895, in the apartments of
Charlotte Palmer. at 30% East One Hun-
dred and Fifth street.
' The wife murderer had just been released
from the penitentiary, after having served
a year’s term there. He found his wife at
the place named and chided her for not
having visited him while he was in the
penitentiary. She did not receive her con-
vict husband with much show of love. He
went away and returned on the following
day. when he produced a revolver,.and,
notwithstanding her entreaties'to be spar-
ed, shot her three times.
Pustalka’s Awful Crime.
The murder for which Charles Pustalka
was tried and found guilty was a particu-
larly atrocious one. Early on the morning
of Aug. 28. 1895, while his wife was sleep-
ing. after having spent the night away
from home, Pustalka entered his apart-
ments. on the top floor of. the flathouse at
515 East Thirteenth street, and, procuring
a big knife. Went to his sleeping wife and
stabbed her in the throat: He then seized
the woman by the hair, and, dragging her
into the kitchen which addoined the sleep-
ing apartment, inflicted wound after
wound upon her.
