Now, by placing a rod as before in front of the patch, I have two colored stripes in a white field, and though the background remains of the same intensity of white, the intensities of the two stripes can be altered by moving the right angled prism through the spectrum.
In evidence of the extraordinary advance made in sanitation by Gorgas, I give a random example from one of his monthly reports : In a population of more than 52,000, the death rate from disease had fallen to 7.31 per thousand; among the whites it was 2.80 and among the colored people 8.77.
Her whole expression altered, her lips parted, and she colored with annoyance. She looked like a spoiled child who, seeing a bonbon-box, opens it to find it empty. As the press about the door-way melted to give her passage, the red-haired man in front of Loder was the first to take advantage of the space. "Jove!
"Well," said Bob, hesitating, "we asked the colored doorkeeper." "Mr. Worthington," said Cynthia, with an indignation that made him quail, "do you think it right to ask a doorkeeper to spy on my movements?"

"It is maize-colored moire antique and mutton one day and violet- colored velvet and veal another; that is all!" wrote Claudia in one of her letters home. That was all!
"Minnie, I believe there is a small portion of colored blood in thy veins." "It is enough," said Minnie, drawing closer to the strange woman. "What makes you think that I am your child?" "By this," said she, taking a miniature from her bosom. "By this, which I carried next to my heart for more than twelve years, and never have been without it a single day or night."
It is true they are sometimes tied with a string in the small of the back, but the combination is not difficult for even a stranger to unlock, unless it is tied in a hard knot. Give us iron drawers in a sleeping car by all means. To be sure they will be cold; but everything is cold in a sleeping car except the colored porter.
