The New Standard Time.

At noon on Sunday, the 18th inst,
the new standard time system went
into operation on the railroads and:in
the principal cities throughout the Uni.
ted States and Canada. 1t is designed
to do away with vast deal OF confu-
sion, and Is easily comprehended sfter-
little intelligent study.
1t is thua explained by an eastern CO.
temporary: At present almost every
CITY and town has its own separate stan.
dard OF time, which is established by
the passage of the sun at noon The
only exceptions are found where way
stations have adopted uniform railroad
time regulated from the principal termi
nus OF the line. When 1t IA noon at
Washington it is l2:l0P. NJ. at NV
York. l1:lS A. N. at Chicago. IL :0S A.
II. at New Orleans and about 8 A. NJ. q,
San Francisco: in other words 1t is still
the forenoon in all places west OF Wash
ing'on and the afternoon in places east
of it. when the sun passes meridian OF
the Federal Capital.
In its diurnal revelation OF $50 de.
grees, the earth necessarily presents
hourly tn the sun an acre of it's circum-
ference equal to fifteen degrees. With
this simple unit to start with. the au.
thors OF the standard time system have
divided the North American Continent
into five helts, embracing the Goth, 18th.
9Oth, 105'h and l20th meridian lines,
which are excessively separated bv an
honr apiece of time measureren ent. The
novelty of the plan consists in adopting
a single stan lard of time for each belt,
instead of manv as heretofore Thus
the noon hour, taken from the Is b me-
ridiaD, will he simultaneous for all the
Atlantic coast States from Maine to
Florida, and for the Middle States from
Ohio to Alabama. The noon h6ur for
the Upper Lakes, the Mississippi and
Missouri Valleys and Texas will be ia.
ken from the ninetie'h meridian-and so
on. Each time.belt being divided bv
fifteen degrees, or one hour from the
nex.. when 1t is noon in the Atlantic belt
it will be precisely IL A. N throughout
the Valley belt, 10 A. M throughout the
Rocky Mountain belt, 9 A nj. in the Pa
cifc belt, and l If in the Eastern or
Canadian bell. Consequently one acc l.
rate observation will supply standard
time for the whole United States, aud, "a

From the Auglaize County Democrat
Senator PendletOn.

,i Only one objection is urged against
Senator Pendleton's return to the Uni
ted States Senate His lifelong devo
ton to the principles of Democracy is
not questioned; his steadfast adherence
to the party through all the years of It's
defeat is not disputed; his character,
abilities and qualities of mind and heart
are admitted. admired and appreciated
But. it is said, that during bis long po
litical life he has made one mistake in
successfully championing and bringing
about something for which in every
State and N,lional platform for wears,
the Democracy has been clamoring.
namely reform 10 the civil service II
In accomplishing this result he has made
mistake it belongs TO the party, whose
representative he was. and is not his
own Therefore. strange as it may
seem, many good Democrats continue
to censure him on account of his civil
service law, the practical workings of
which, by preventing the usual assess
ments on frderal pffice-hollers and thus
largely reducing the Republican cam
paign corruption fund, contributed as
much to Democratic success at the last
election as any other influence. II is
pGloriops. that the R ,publican State
'Gampaigh committee was harrassed BIZ

too much for the Republican machine
and it was smashed bv The fall.
The Democrats OF Ohio demand two
things: The Republican party must go:
and Senator P ndlcton must &C back to
the United States Senate.
CATARRH Without assuming TO
write outa thesis of this universal all
ment, facts warrant our saying that iii
seems to Us there never was season when
it was so prevalent as the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
lowing, viz: Tha' Messrs Hood & Co
Of Lowell. believe that the best way to
treat Ca'arrh, and the only way TO get
permanent relief, is through the blood.
A cons itutional disease requires con.
s,i u,ional remedy. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is blood purifier and cons itutional
medicine that can be relied upon, and has
cured numerous cases Of Catarrh in its
various forms. We think this claim a
reasonable one and gladly give j; room in
our colums.

How Watch Cases are MADE.

The aany great Improvements intro
duccd in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case have led to similar i'm.
proyements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar.
cnt, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering sofensit.
To test the superiority Of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only. with silver cap
and gold joints. EF

sert is made by pairing tart apples, cut
them in halves. take out the core, and
fill the space with little butter and su.
gar; bike them on pie pl plates serve hot.
A good way to use the yolks of eggs

just "a thin as possible and mixing it
with butter In the proportion of two ia
b'espoonfuls OF sugar TO one OF butter.

Often from the slices OF mutton chop
a good deal Of fat is cut off and is
thrown away; this should never be done.
Put it in frying pm AMI "fry it out"
pour off the clear fat, AMI put it in tin
cup or basin. and YOU have nice little
cake OF mutton tallow that can be used
