TIME.
The Methods Of Reckoning It In Various
Countries.

The Methods Of Reckoning It In Various
Countries.
Among many peoples the modes of
reckoning time do not deserve the name
of q system. The Otaheitans used the
changes Of the moon and the growth
of the bread fruit; the Makha Indians
Oh Cape Flattery the moon and
he seasons. of which latter
they distinguished two, the colo
and the warm: the Muysca Indians ac-
cording to Humboldt, had thirty-seven
lunar months in their cycle. and twen-
ty of these cycles formed a larger one.
Where there were no religious festivals
people gave up the lunisolar year al
together and adopted the solar year
Only, combining themselves 20 bringing
day and night Into come 1tion with it
a.. far as possible, and paying no regard
to the moo:'S course. 1t was soon
found that che solar year was approx
mately 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 twelve months,
each of thirty DAYS. to which they
added five supplementary days. The
years were counted according to the
reigns, and the Canon of Ptolemy is a
chronological table giving the COM
mencing years of the various Kings.
The same form OF year is found among
the PersianS. with the difference that
| the supplementary days were added to
the eighth and not to the twelfth month.
Their months had names not numbers,
and their years We're reckoned from the
accession OF JcZdcgird. an era from
which the Persians, especially in some
parts of India. still count their years.
1t is remarkable that so ineXact year.
originating so long ago, should have
existed through centuries down to our
day, although its incorrectness was
early recognized. The Egyptians, from
whom the time of the rising of the
Nile, at the ascent of Sirius, was of
great importance, noticed soon that
the occurrence came later and later in
their year. and that if the Dog star
rose one year on New Years Day four
years later it was the second day, eight
wears the third, and so on. On this
they based the Sothis, or Dog star
period of 1.461 Egyptian years, in the
course of which Sirius rose successive
~ on every day of the year. Then
came the knowledge of the year of
800 IA days. which is tolerably exact,
and of this there are several forms of
years. In Egypt the change ID the
more exact reckoning was accom-
plished in a simple way--Nature.

Healthy Men and Healthy Women.

Healthy Men and Healthy women.
Life is one constant battle against
that dread monster, Disease"
Many succumb prematurely to this
vicious assailant. whose eternal
object is to tear down, wear out and
destroy. A want of energy, want
of stamina, a want of repellant act
ivety on the part of thoughtless in
dividuals causes many to become
easy and apparently willing prey
to this ruin and devastation of
mankind. A remedy composed of
proper herbs and roots that will
build up, repair and strengthen the
weak portions of the human system,
should assidiously be taken at the
approach of disease. Don't wait for
him to obtain foot-hOld, don't wait
7util he becomes your master. Meet
his attack at once and promptly.
Do you desire to know a remedy on
which you can place safe reliance in
such times of emergency. Then re-
member that DR. GGYsOfT'S YELLOw
DOck AND SARSAPARILLA will prove
the true friend in need. 1t is
the safest assistant of nature in
repelling disease, always acting in har-
mony with the entire human organiza-
ton aud bodily functions. 1t strength
ems the weak portions, it regulates the
bowels and kidneys, it oils up, as it
were, the machinery of life, and cures
when all other remedies have failed,
such diseases as IMPURE BLOOD. Poor
DIGESTION, WEAK KIDNEYS, SORES,
ACHES, RHEUMATISM, ETC. 1t quickly
checks decay of the bowels and kidneys,
and gives the sufferer from debility and
wasting diseases a new lease of life.

A curious occurrence delayed the White
Mountain express recently. Shortly
after leaving Windsor, VT, a frisky young
horse, alarmed at the locomotive. jumped
over the fence at the side of the track
and galloped ahead of the train for about
a mile and half, until he came to a
trestle bridge spanning a ravine some
fifty feet deep. At that point there
CHANGED to be two men, who waved their
coats in the animals face. He was
checked by this for moment, but a
glance at the snorting iron horse in the
rear was too much for his nerves. He
discounted the enemy in front by letting
fly his heels and then fled incontinently
toward the trestle. Strange to say, the
sure-foOted animal trotted some thirty
feet on the structure without falling
through the interstces. He made false
step, however, and down he went, first
with his hind legs and then with the fore
ones. The animal was utterly helpless
The train, which meanwhile had slacken-
ed up was stopped, and the train mer
and passengers held consultation
Boards were torn from a neighboring
fence, and laid on the ties. The strug
Cling beast was then forced over on his
side and his legs fastened together by
means of stout rope. Next the brake
man and parlor-car passengers tailed on
to the end of this hawser and dragged
the horse along the boards to solid
ground.-BoStOn Transcript.

entertaining "Reminiscences of General

: The Last Days of General Grant" The

of General Grant us lieutenant and as cap
tain. There is also an illustrated article on

the Memoranda of the Civil War" are all
about Grant. Lieut.. Schwatka has n sec
ond and concluding paper on The Great
Rivers of Alaska" Mrs. Champney paper
on Summer Haunts of American Artists"
and Mr.. Howell's further descriptions of
Tuscan Cities"-all illustrated A portrait
of the late Samuel Bowles, editor of the
Springfield Republican, forms the frontis-
piece, and in an article entitled "A Study of
Independent journalism" George s. mer-
riam describes some of Mr. Bowles' leading
characteristics. Principal Grant of Queens
university. Canada, writes a timely paper
on The Canada Pacific Railway" "Zwei-
bak; Being Notes of Professional Exile"
is an anonymous paper of clever observa-
tons on human nature. In fiction there is
