The Infant Terrible.

A good woman left her son at home
while she ran across the street to attend
q meeting of ladies in a church near by.
The boy was to watch the dinner pot,
containing. among other things, calf $
head, and he was to see that the water
in the pot should not boil over
At the meeting. which was to arrange
for church festival, several grave
elders and the clergyman himself were
present. The latter had called upon to
make a few remarks, and he was in the
midst of his talk when the boy thrust
his head in at the doorway and whis-
pered:
Mammal
The mother frowned and shook her
finger warningly, but the boy was not to
be awed. Filled with the importance of
his errand, he shouted:
Mamma. you needn't wink at me;
but you'd better come right away, for
the calf's head is buttin' all the Dump
Inns out OF the potr'-Boston Herald.
"A girl was attacked with fits in q
laundry at Lansingburg the other after
noon. The attack so excited the other
female employees in the shop that soon
eight were prostrated BY illness. One
was so seriously affected it was feared
she would die, and clergyman was
sent for.-Troy TIMES.

That thing over yonder is another ship.
See that up there? It's a bridge. See
the tug? That thing it 6rags along is

Somebody's ringing it. If nobody

RECKONING TIME.
The Methods OF Marking the Passage OF
Time by Various Peoples.

The Methods OF Marking the Passage OF
Time by Various Peoples.
Among many peoples the modes OF
reckoning time do not deserve the
name of system. The Otaheitans used
the changes of the moon and the growth
of the bread fruit; the Makha Indians
on Cape Flattery the moon and the
seasons. of which latter they distin.
guished two, the cold and the warm;
The Muysca Indians. according to Hum
boldt, had 81 lunar months in their
cycle. and 20 of these cycles formed a
larger one. Where there were no re-
lgious festivals connected with the new
or the full moon. people gave up the
luni-solar year altogether and adopted
the solar year only. confining themselves
to bringing day and night into con-
nection with it as far as possible, and
paying no regard to the moons course.
1t was soon found that the solar year
was approximately 365 days in length,
and this we find first in the year of
the ancient Egyptians. They divided
their solar year of 365 days into
II months. each of 80 days,
to which they added 5 supple
mentary days. The years were counted
according to the reigns. and the Canon
OF Ptolemy is chronological table Civ
ing the commencing years of the vari-
Gus kings. The same form of year is
found among the Persians, with the
difference that the supplementary days
are added to the eighth and not to the
twelfth month. Their months had
names, not numbers, and their wears
were reckoned from the accession of
Sezdegird, an era from which the Per-
slams. especially in some parts of India,
still count their years. 1t is remarka-
bic that SO inexact year. originating
SO long ago. should have existed through
centuries down to our own day. al
though its incorrectness was early
The Egyptians, for whom

Nile, at the ascent of Sirius.
was Of great Importance, noticed
soon the occurrence came later and
ater in their year: on New Years Day
Jour years later it was the second day,
eight years the third. and so on. On
his they based the Sothis. or Dog-star
period of 1,461 Egyptian years, in the
course of which Sirius rose successively
IN every day Of the year. Then came

which is tolerably exact, and Of this

any other day. but. strange though il
may seem, some captains that have
known would not lower boat for them
on that day.
Although l have as a sailor before
the mast, been around Cape Horn and
the Cape Of Good Hope, yet my voyage
in whaler was to the South Atlantic,
on which cruise we touched at Fayal,
Pernambuco, st. Helena, Tristan
d'Acunha and other Islands in the
Southern seas. That voyage was nv
last. never was cut out for sailor,
and found it out very soon, but was
not willing to acknowledge it until had
seen the elephant which l did. to-
gether with large part of the tail.
Immediately upon a whale being
harpooned, he sounds. that is, goes
under water at lightning speed. as does
also the line to which he is attached,
making it necessary to throw water
upon it to prevent it from taking fire
from the friction. 1t has been claimed
that whale can run at speed of a
mile a minute. They can not remain
long below but must come up to
breathe. When a whale is struck, the
boatsteerer is relieved by the header,
and he mans the steering until the
whale turns up; when whale dies his
belly turns uppernost. Then the boats
are all fastened together, the sails
hoisted and then commences a long, te
dious pull. You might think they would
lay to and let the ship come up. The
ship does come up as fast as it can. bu,
it has to bea. up. for whales invariably
run to windward and oftentimes boat
is miles away from the ship when a
prize is captured. Not infrequently
darkness overtakes them long way
from their berths.
while cruising off the coast of Brazil
we fell in one day with New London
whaler, Cape Horner. homeward
bound. She had been out three or
four years. and not being full was cruis-
ing little time on the whaling ground
Of that section. We spoke her twice
and CANNED with her. What does
CANNED mean? Visited. One of her
