Show THINGS WE DO NOT SEE. Proof That the Majority cf People Are Unobservant. A man who had recently been in Europe was entertaining his friends with stories nbout Paris, and In tho course of his talk mentioned several places which were unknown to his listeners, although they had all frequently fre-quently visited the French capital. "People go through the woild with their eyes shut," was the story teller's tell-er's comment, A quiet llttlo man In tho party then said that even tho most observing people did not always see, and, nddrcssing the traveler, said: "You have read tho samo paper pa-per dally for 30 years. Do you k.iow how many columnn it has on a page?" "No." "You look at your watch many times every day. Can you tell me, is tho six on its face a Roman or an Arabic figure?" "Why, Human, of course." And ho looked, and found that there was no "six" on his watch dial. "All of which demonstrates," said the little man, "that the most observing do not always see." |
