EARLIEST METHODS OF MEAS
URiNG TIME.


The story is that King Alfred had ne
better way to tell the time than by burn
ing twelve candles, each of which lasted
two hours; and when all the twelve were
gone, another day had passed. Long be-
fore the time of Alfred, and long before
the time of Christ, the shadow OF the sun
told the hour of the day by means of a
sun dial. The old Chaldeans SO placed
hollow hemisphere, with bead in the
center, that the shadow of the bead on
the inner surface told the hour OF the day.
Other kinds OF dials were afterward
made with tablet of wood or straight
piece of metal. On the tablets were
marked the different hours. When the
shadow came to the mark TX, it was nine
o'clock in the morning. The dial was
sometimes placed near the ground, or in
towers or buildings. There are two sun
dials on the Gray and Black Nunnery in
Ottawa, the capital of Canada. The old
clock on the eastern end of Faneuil Hall
in Boston was formerly dial of this
kind; and on some of the old church
towers in England you may see them to-
day. Aside from the kinds mentioned,
the dials now in existence are intended
more for ornament than for use. In the
days when dials were used, each one con-
tanned motto OF some kind, like these:
Time flies like the shadow" or, II tell
no hours but those that are happy"
But the dial can be used only in the
day time; and even then it was worthless
when the sun was covered with clouds.
In order to measure the hours Of the
night as we'll as the hours of the day, the
Greeks and Romans used the clepsydra,
which means, "The water steals away"
A large jar was filed with water, and
hole was made in the bottom through
which the water could run. The glass
in those days was not transparent. No
one could see from the outside how much
water had escaped. So there were made
on the inside certain marks that told the
hours as the water ran out; or else stick
with notches in the edge was dipped into
the water, and the depth of what was left
showed the hour. Sometimes the water
dropped into another jar in which block
of wood was floating, the block rising as
the hours went Oh. Once in while, some
very rich man had clepsydra that sound
ed musical note at every Popular
Science Monthly for June.

GOODNESS VS.. PIETY.

The pest people l have known have
been those who made no claim to good
ness, and no profession of piety. But
they had an ideal in their mind and heart
Of integrity, of truth, of honor, of con-
science. They looked up to something
higher than themselves. They breathed
the divine air of love, joy and peace.
They heard the sayings OF Christ and did
them. They may not have said, Lord
Lordl" but they did the will of the
Father in heaven. They had a standard
of goodness within. They forgot the
things behind, and pressed on 70 those
before James Freeman Clarke.

g. Arm SAN FRANCISCO IN 1886.

The annual reunion of the most re-
markable body of men the world now
knows, meets at San Francisco during
the summer of 1886. The beautiful COM
mercial capital of State famous for its
wealth, its beauty and it's hospitality, is
we'll chosen.
All the great western lines of railroad
now lead to San Francisco. The Santa
Fe route is only one of these, but it has
its advantages and charms, long since
fully appreciated by the travelling pub
lie. To all those whose nearest route
would take them through Kansas City OF
Atchison, it is, if it's share of public favor
is any sign, one of the most perfect routes
OF travel ever organized.

Mrs. Mary E. Apologize, daughter of Ben
jamin and Mary Clifford, was born March 10,
1S48. Died near Connersville, Ind, June 16,
1886, aged 3S years, months and day. The
deceased was married by the writer to Theo-
dore Applegate, Aug. 16. 1874. There were
born unto them four children, two boys and
two girls. She was the first of family of
nine children to be called home. Of our de-
parted sister, all speak in high praise. As a
child, ever obedient; as companion, ever
true; and as a mother, indulgent. The con-
course assembled at the funeral was large
and attentive. Honor to her memory, peace
to her soul. L. s. GUTHRIE.

The Living Church says: I" A new
rector is something like second wife.
He may be no better than the other, but
in the flush of its new fancy parish will
arouse and smarter itself up for his sake,

effort could persuade it to stir out of its

On motion of Mr.. HaySelden the report
was laid upon the table until the minority
report was presented.
Mr.. Dickey presented the following mi
nority report on the Indemnity bill:
Hon. J. S. Walker, President Legislative
Assembly-Sir: A minority of your FL
nance Committee, to which was referred an
Act to indemnify the Minister of Finance
begs leave to Eeport as follows:
The entire expenditures were made con-
trary to article Il of the Constitution which
reads Article 10. No subsidy, duty or tax
Of any description shall be established or
levied without the consent of the Legisla-
ture: nor shall any money be drawn from
the Public Treasury without such consent
except when between the sessions of the
Legislative Assembly the emergencies of
war, invasion, rebellion, pestilence, or
other public disaster shall arise and then
not without the concurrence of all the Cab
met and of majority of the whole Privv
Council; and the Minister of Finance shall
render detailed account of such expendi-
ture to the Legislative Assembly"
There having been no war, invasion, re-
bellion, pestilence or other public disaster
during the past period none OF the ex-
