Named After an American Frlgare.

1t is q rash thing for an impetuouS
foreigner to name child after an Ameri-
can frigste. There has been published
letter which Captain Bunce of the
Uuited States navy has received from
Konigsberg, East Prussia, wherein an
unprecedented obstacle TO christening is
set forth. 1t seems that this foreigner
and his wife paid a visit to the United
States in 1878, and were detained in
New York by the premature arrival of q
little girl. The determination thus
early shown by the little one to be an
American induced them TO call her by an
American name, and, as they had no
her after the United States frigate
Marion, which the child's mother hap
pened to see and admire. They little
thought that they would encounter any
difficulty with their somewhat clumsy
officials at home, but when they sought
to have the child christened and gave
the frigate's name as her godmother,
there was considerable Struggling of
shoulders and at last flat refusal to
comply with their request without the
written consent of the party in question,
according to law. What the parents
are now anxious to have the captain of
the vessel do is to sign this certificate
q hereby certify as the commanding
officer of the United States frigate
Marion, that there is no objection to the
ship being registered as godmother OF
the daughter of Frederick Wyneken and
his wife, Mrs. Lucy Wyneken, born in
the city of New York, United States, on
March o, 1879 The father assures the
captain that not the slightest liability
will be incurred either by himself or by
the frigate.

A Strange Experience.

Mrs. Jennie Lewis, well-known
resident of Reno, has just returned from
trip to Europe. During her absence
she removed from her ear a shell which
had been lodged there for over thirty
years. Mrs. Lewis says that when a
child she was holding small shell to
her ear and trying to hear it roar. ="
While so doing the shell, which is
hardly a quarter of an inch in diameter,
slipped into the passage of the ear
Efforts to dislodge it were unsuccessful
and only drove it further in. 1t re-
manned there for ten years, causing occa-
sional pains, when surgical operation
operation was performed in Illinois,
living. 1t was extremely painful and
induced excessive bleeding, but was un-
successful. For twenty years more
pl3tely obstructing the passage. Last
summer, while on her homeward voy-
age acl oss the Atlantic, Mrs. Lewis was
one day seated on deck, engaged in
picking with pin the ear that rbored
the shell. To her great joy and sur
prise, she found that the shell which
had SO long beer firmly fixed was
loosened, and that it moved under the
pressure of the pin. She worked away
at it in great excitement for a few
minutes, and at last the long-imprisoned
shell was extracted. A surgeon on
board the steamer was greatly interested
in the case, and declared he had never
in his life heard of such an experience.
Mrs. Lewis still keeps the shell, and
shows ii to her acquaintance when
ing it's story.-Re'ao (Nep.) Gazette.

A Camille Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostettcrs Bitters' which is most useful in
overcoming torpidity of those organs. Besides
infusing more &C ivity into them this excellent
tonic endows them with additional vigor and
enables them the better to undergo the wear
and tear Of the discharging function imposed
upon them by nature. Moreover, as they are
the channel for the escape Of certain impurities
from the blood, it increases their usefulness
by strengthening and beautifully stimulating
them. In certain morbid conditions OF these
important organs, they TALL into sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor OF disease.
What then can be of greater service than a
medicine which impels them to greater activity
when slothtul? No malndies are more peril
GUS than those which affect the kidneys; and
medicine which averts the peril should be
highly esteemed.

Divisions of Time.

A solar day is measured by the citation OF
the earth upon its axis, and is OF different
lengths, owing to the ellipticity Of the earth :
orbit and other causes; but mean solar day
recorded by the time-piece, is twenty-iout
hours.
An astronomical day commences at noon.
and is counted from the first TO the twenty
fourth hour. A civil day commences at mid
night, and is counted from the first to the
twelfth hour, when it is recounted again from
the first TO the twelfth hour. A nautical day
is counted as a civil day, but commences like
an astronomical day, from noon.
A calendar month varies in length from rs
to 81 days. mean lunar month is 29 days
II hours, A minutes, 2 seconds and 5,2l
thirds.
A year is divided into 365 days.
A solar year, which is the time occupied by
the sun in passing from one vernal equinox
to another, consists of 365.24244 solar days
or 365 days, hours, 4S minutes, and 1886
seconds.
A Julian year is 365 days. A Gregorian
year is 65.2425 days. Every fourth year is
bissextile, or leap year, and is 366 days. The
error of the Gregorian computation amounts
only to one day in 357l 1926 years.

Commemorate of the Year.

By the reformation OF the calen or by Pope
Gregory Kill, the year began on The first oil
january, and, consequently, whenever and
wherever the new style OF reckoning time was
adopted, then and there the year commenced
on this day. Previous to the use of the Gre
gorian Calendar, the years had different days
OF beginning at various times in the same ant
different countries, and occasionally at the
same time in the same country. In most
countries it began on one of the following
days: Christmas day, the 25th OF December;
Circumcision day, the lst of January; Lady
day, the 25th OF March; Easter day, the day
OF the resurrection OF our Lord.
In England, in the seventh, and so late as
the thirteenth century, the year began on
Christmas day; but in the twelfth century tho
Anglican church commenced the year on
the 25th of March, as did also the civilians OF
the fourteenth century. This continued until
1902, the time oil adoption OF the new style.
BY this it appears that two modes OF reckoning
the commencement OF the year have generally
existed in Great Britain and its colonies,
causing what is known as the Civil, Ecclesi-
astical, or Legal Year, and the Historical
Year. The last named OF these have com
menced on the first of January tor long
period of time.
