Jain's Cought Remedy and want

EFFECTS OF COLOR.
Hearing Is Disturbed by Red , Yellow ,
Green and Blue , ns Proven-
Touch of Blind Persons.
The relation of color to sensation -
tion is discussed bJ' C. : M. Gicsslcr
ill a Lcipsic publication. Thai
light has a decided effect on the
sense organs is well known in a
general way , as is thc effect of colors -
ors to a less extent , but : Mr. Giess-
lcr examines in details the experi
ments of one Nrbautschitsch.
This investigation "found that
thc sense of hearing was disturbed
by red , yellow , green and blue , not :
not only the subjective sensations
being affected , but also thc loca-
tion of the source of the sound.
The sense of equilibrium is al
fcctcd by colors , although the
most remarkable effects arc pro-
duccd in the sense of taste , where
in the majority of cases we find all
increase 01' a decrease of thc sell-
ImUOIl : power.
"SomcUmcs the taste of something .
thing sweet is changed upon sep.
lug certain colors to'salty 01' bit-
tel' In many caSes it was found
that the colors which produce the
most intense effect in the various
individuals were stated by the
subjects to be favorite colors.
"In n case of temperature , blue !
and violet cause 11 decrease , red
and green an increase in the sen
sation of cold ; covering the eyes
causes a weakening of the sense of
hearing , while strong light instantly .
stantly increases the acuteness of
the car. Red , yellow and green
raise the pitch of a deep tone ,
while violet causes a high tone to
deepen , and even the sense of
taste may be affected by this !
amount of light present without
regard to color. "
Mr. Giesslcr says that another
experimenter , Giesbach , found
that the sense of touch in persons
born blind was below normal instead -
stead of being above , as is com.
monly supposcd.
"It is also found thatthe other
senses suffer from the lack of the
sense of . For
sight. example , I
smokers are frequently unable in I
the dark by means of the sense .
of smell to tell whether or not a
cigar i's lit , while in darkness the
sharpest sense of taste is not able
to distinguish between fluids
which have really different
ta stes. . "
VICTOR HUQO'S SPOUSE.
.
Wives of Great Men All Remind Us
We Can't Make Our Wives
Sublime.
M. Paul Stapler , in the Merehure
de France , quotes a fragment of
Victor Hugo's after-dinner monologues .
logues l , says the New York Mail.
The pose of the man accustomed
to an expectation of big utterances -
ances , of' metaphysical suggestions -
tions , is well conveyed in the quo-
tions. Victor Hugo , it is hardly
necessary to observe , was distinctly -
tinctlJ' a prophet in his ' own country -
try , as well as abroad. By nine in
the evening Victor Hugo ; had
warmed to his work. He bursT
forth :
"How poor , how small , how ab .
surd athheism is. God exists. I
-
am more sure of 21s e..sterc'
than I am of my own. If God lend
me sufficient length of life I want
to write a book showing how nec-
eBury to the soul prayer is-how
necessary and how efficacious.
Personally , I never pass four
hours without prayer. I pray reg.
uarly ] every morning and evening.
If I wake in the night I pray.
What do I pray for ? Strength.
"I know what is right and what
is wrong , but I realize my imperfections -
fections and that of myself I have
not the strength to resist evil.
God surrounds and upholds l1S.
'Ve arc in Him. From Him we
have life , movement , being. All
is created b.y Him. But it is not
true to say that He has created
the world. He creates it unceas
ingly. He is the soul of the uni-
verse. He is the infinite I. He ii
-you arc asleep , Adele ! "
The abrupt accusation waR
hurled at 1\1rs. Hugo. Since diu.
ner she had been sitting silently in
an armchair , rather huddled and
drawn up in attitude , her chin
resting on her chest , her hands
folded on her stomach , and her
eyelids closcd. Her regular
breathing had been pleasantly un-
interrupted. Roused abruptly , in.
jured innocence protested vigor.
ously in her manner : "You dear ,
great thing , bow could you possibly -
blJ- imagine I could go to sleep ;
while you were talking ? "
