Facts About Time.

As the recent change in time has a.
wakened some inquiry on this subject
the following facts may be of interest:
Julius Caesar rectified the calendar 46
B. G., and by means of the calcula-
tions of his astronomer made the year
of its present length. This, however.
is said to be really II minutes too
much, and by the time Pope Gregory
XIII, came into power the surplus had
reached II days. The pope had suffi.
cient influence to set aside Caesars
method, and the new calendar was ac-
cepted at once in Italy, Spain and Por-
tugal. 1t gradually came into favor
in France and Germany, and both Den
mark and Sweden adopted it in 100.
In England, popular prejudices op-
posed the Gregorian method until, in
1751, an act of Parliament legalized
the change, and this gave use to the
terms 'old style and new Style Rid
iculous as it may seem, whenever riots
occurred at that time, for whatever
cause, this change was made basis Of
complaint by those who did not under
stand word upon the subject. Ho-
gath, in his picture of the election
riot, represents man drunk in the
gutter, while near by lies his banner,
inscribed: Give US back our Il days
This shows how readily politicians,
even then, turned everything to an ac-
count. The recent change is only a
more perfect attainment of uniform
standard.

Tom R-has young brother and

a hard one to keep up with. His Sis
had beau the other night, and just
as the conversation became interesting
the little brother walked in.
WELL said his sister, what do you

'Iwant to whisper something to you,

'Tisn't polite to whisper in compa-

Tom left on the midnight train fol
a trip South, and his house is not ex.
pecting him back before the 1st Of
May. The young lady may recove'
by that time.

The Boy Couldn't Stand It.

A boy about L. years Of age called
at doctors office Sunday afternoon
and asked him to visit the house in
a professional way, as his mother h i
been severely injured. The doctor
found the woman lying on loung
with black eye, smashed nose, sew
eral contusions on the head, and gem
orally used up appearance.
Where did you fall p he asked.
'Nowhere!' she answered.
Did you get run over:?'
No, SIR ~-.
Looks to me as if you had been
struck and choked.'
Yes, | have been
Husband, SUPPOSE
yes. SIR
We'll. he ought to be sent to State
prison for year, continued the doc
tor as he found new bruise.
The woman remain silent, but after
a moment the boy spoke up.
Now, mann, that's dead mean to let
him 60 on and abuse pap that way!-
Here, doctor-come in here!'
He opened the door of bedroom,
and the physician found man with
cut on his jaw, two more on his
scalp, lacerated ear and both ey s
closed up.
Now, them said the boy as he gave
the quilts a pull. wouldn't it be better
to send nam up for about eight months
and give pap four?'
The doctor agreed with him.

Retort Sarcastic.

Judge Tarbell tells the following
joke on himself. A short time after
his retirement from the bench he hap
pened to meet an old friend whom he
had not seen for some time. The
Judge, all smiles and heartiness, effer-
vesced over his friend in such way
as to provoke the inquiry:
What office are you candidate for
now, Judge?'
The Judge made adeprecatory move
ment with an outward palm, and
said:
For none at all, dear brother, am
simply a candidate for the Kingdom
of Heaven
His friend regarded him sorrowful-
ly for an instant, and then, with more
wit than politeness, and more profani-
ty then either, said:
'I'll bet you don't carry d.
township"
Doubtless the Judge lost sight of
the mans profanity in admiration of
his sublimely truthful candor.

Effect Of Light Eating Upon Colds.

DR.. c f. Page, writing in the Pop
ular Science Monthly, says Though
lifelong sufferer from the disease in
various forms, from the 'snuffies' of
infancy to the hay fever of adult age;
together with occasional attacks Of
neuralgia, rheumatism, throat and
lung affections, etc, now find it im-
possible to excite any of the well
known symptoms or, in fact, any
form of disease, though subjecting my
self to what many would consider the
most suicidal practices in the matter
of exposure to the elements, so long
as / live upon a frugal diet, chiefly
cereals and fruit, served plainly-nom-
inally two meals day; holding my
self ready, however, to skip meal
whenever necessary, !. e.. whenever any
of the symptoms of indigestion, as
acid stomach, flatulence, pressure in the
region of the lungs or stomach, ETC.,
warn me of haviog carried the plea
sures of the table a trifle beyond the
needs of the organism, When,
however, l have chosen to prolong the
experiment by continuing to eat heart
lily, as is the custom with people in
general at such times, l have found
my experience identical with theirs;
the symptoms would increase in sever
ity, and to nasal catarrh. headache
slight feverisnness and languor,
would be added sore throat, perhaps
with pressure at the lungs, hoarseness,
increased fever and entire indisposi-
ton for exertion. In this case two,
perhaps three days fasting, would be
required, with little extra sponging
the skin, to completely restore the bal
ance. Outdoor air is desirable, and,
when not demanding too great effort,
exercise. Air baths, when there is
much feverishness of the skin, are
comforting and curative.

Moneyless Wives

Money is power, there is no liberty
for those who are forbidden to spend
freely what is really theirs. Yet this
is just the position Of most women,
even in families which are wealthy,
enlightened, and in other respects lib
era. In the village which was the
home Of Emerson, and has drunk deep

ladies in the churches advocate hold
ing fairs and festivals, on the ground
that the women have no money of their
own to give for any purpose.
know very sensible and economi-
cal lady who was never suffered by her
husband. though he was a man of
wealth. to have any money to spend
but was merely permitted to buy what
she wanted on credit, under liability
of being closely questioned about the
reason for her purchases. Even wives
who have inherited money sometimes
cannot get hold of it except by coax
ing or teasing their husbands. No
thing is commoner than for a woman
10 be obliged to explain why she wants
more money, and to tell how she has
spent what she had last.
1t has been said that the only way 8
woman can get any money Of her own
ls to become . widow. There is nc
doubt that many girls hurry into teach.
ing, acting, authorship, or domestic
service. simply in order to have money
Of their own, which they can spend
without being questioned annoyingly.
OF course it is well for the men,
bers Of family to consult each other
about expenditures of Importance, but
for man to limit and question his
wife to an extent he would not endure
himself is tyranny.
Some restrictions may properly be
im"osed on children for their own
good, and the interest of the whole
family may require that the careless
ness of some members be closely check.
ed; but regulations of this kind should
not be enforced simply in the line oI
sex, or the wife and daughter subject
ed to anv restraint not considered e
qually proper, in corresponding cir
cumstances, for the husband or son.
The only way to learn to spend money
wisely is to have a regular supply suf
ticient for reasonable wants, and full
liberty of expending it. The girls OF
boys who spend too much of their al
lowance to day will not have enough
to spend to morrow, and will have the
best possible instruction in economy
But people who can get money only by
spending what they have and teasing
for more are under strong temptation
to spend as fast as possible.
Many = wife is kept in such igno
rance Of her husbands resources tha
she never knows whether she is eco
nomical or e1trayagant. The result
is that, if she should become wild

her property, or perhaps even how tt
keep it.
Many a girl has expensive and toll
some instruction in everything excep
in what she needs most of all to know
that is, how to adapt her plans ant

not begin to do until she knows wha
her income really is. The only plal
by which the members of a large fam
lly can live in such freedom from op
preston as is necessary to that of pur'
love, is that of fixed allowances o.

The above needs explanation. Find
ing that it could not get through Con-

porarily suspended. According to the
proposition voted on last year the road
was TO be completed to Anthony by

lions as regards all townships between

unable to procure iron in
time TO cross another town
ship prior 10 the first of August, hence
the suspension. Propositions have
been re-supmitted in the townships OF
Sumner county and the papers will be
circulated here next week. We learn
that the company will ask six months
time in which to reach Anthony.
This information is reliable. There Is
not particle of doubt about the road
coming to Anthony this year. The
company long since abandoned the
idea of getting here by the first OF
August. The bond propositions will
carry without any opposition in all the
townships.
