A New System Of Time.

Prof. Loudon's proposed system Of
time, on the decimal plan, provides that
the present day of twenty-four hours be
divided into ten divisions, so that each
hour would correspond to two hours
and twenty-four minutes; this hour
would be again divided into a hundred
divisions, called minutes If necessary,
each minute on the new system CORE
spending to LA minutes; again, this
new minute division to be sub-divided
for accurate measurements into one
hundred divisions, called seconds. The
advantages arising from such system,
as enumerated, are the abolition of the
so-called a. m. and p. m, as has already
been accomplished by the twenty four
hour system; all the advantages deriv-
able from the adoption Of any system
based on the scale Of ten-namely, the
inconvenience arising from the contin-
aal use OF vulgar fractions and the use
of symbols for each unit in the ordinary
affairs of life; and. finally. the fact that
the time in hours and minutes, which
for all practical purposes is sufficient, is
indicated Immediately by the clock-this
latter being considered specially inn
portant advantage, as, by the present
system, it is always essential to multiply
by five in order to know the true time

The Value Of the Percheron Stud
Book Of France.

It contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about FIVE thousand of
the best bred Perchcrons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors. From this
alone the most obtuse mind willreadily
perceive that knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of tho
animal himself. Stud books are histo-
ries of ths individuals of a breed, and
arc. therefore, the only means by which
the vaiuc of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually,
can only be ascertained by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of es-
tablished pedigrees, tracing through a
line Of excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value OF
pedigrecs, or opposing improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.
There are many horses being imported
from France, OF whose origin nothing
Is known.

Wesere's Electric Light and How Il Cas-
BE Used.
At . recent meeting Of the Academy
OF Sciences. at Paris, pelate hall filled
with water. in which were half . dozen
insects about an inch in length, which
shone like diamonds, although the room
was filled with sunshine, was passed
around among the members. These in
sects had been brought from Mexico,
where they are to be found in the for
ests. Their scientific name is the
pyrophore; and, as none had ever been
seen before in Europe, they created
quite sensation. The light resembles
that OF a glow worm or q fire fly, al
though as much more brilliant and in
tense rs an electric lamp surpasses
q wax taper in its power of illumina-
ton. When the light begins to fade, it
can be made as brilliant rs before BY
shaking the insect, or dipping it in
water. It is said the Indians
of Mexico use them for a
light at night. as few will suffice to il
Illuminate an entire room. When they
are walking at night, they put one on
each foot, so that they can be sure of
their way, and also that they do not
step upon any venoWous snake or rep
tile with which the tropical forests
abound. The Mexican ladies buy them
Of the Indians. and inclose them in a
transparent bag, which they wear in
their hair or at the neck. The effect is
very beautiful, especially when several
are worn; and, as the Indians sell them
for few cents dozen, they are within
the reach of every fair one. They are
fed on sugar-cane, and, if well taken
care of, viii live long time. One

The Fashionable Craze Among wealthy
Female Cranks.
There was recently, in New York, .
great sale Of orchids belonging to the
estate of Mrs. Morgan. who is said to
have paid two hundred thousand dollars
for this one variety of Towering plants.
The sale realized some seventy thousand
dollars, and it showed that there exists
class of rich people who are willing to
give large sums of money for this par
icular variety of plant. Indeed, the
modern world is divided up into groups
of people who set high value upon GER
tain articles. Rare old books are the
lunacy of one set, old pictures of an
other, bric-a-brac of q third Then
horses and dogs. rare specimens of
birds. etc., have their admirers. One
hundred and fifty years ago ragged what
was known as the tulip mania. Ger
tain wealthy people developed craze
for tulips, and the competition adj
vanced the price of these plants to alb
normal figures. But the hunger was
then satisfied. And so it probably will
be with orchids. A reasonable taste for
flowers is commendable, and many a
young lady who now spends many hours
in learning how to play the piano very
badly would be much better employed
in studying botany and seeking out the

A Help to Good Digestion.

In the British Medical Journal DR.. W. Rob
erts, OF England, discusses the effect Of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All Of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious
to salivary digestion. On peptfc digestion
all wines exert q retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular ac-
tivity of the stomach. EfYervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with
the least harm to digestion. When ones
digestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless, as in the case Of T. T. Seals,
OF Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys-
pepsia for seven years, the digestive appar-
atus is kept in apple-pie eating order by
Warmers Tippecanoe, the best appetite
producer and regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities, complete
ly paralyzes the action of the saliv.. The

tea should be used, il Mt all. Strong coffee
and cocoa are also injurious il used in ex-

cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.

sales of $107, 900. They increased the adj

sales being $3.50, 700. The next year they
spent $l20,000 with $4S0, 900 sales, and the

A WONDERFUL OPERATION.
Two New Pupils Formed for . Blind
Girls Eyes.
rCincinnati Special

ICiuciuuau Special
DR.. 9. c. McDermott has performed two
operations on patients eyes this week
that are considered marvellous by those
who have a knowledge Of the subject. The
patient is little girl from Lebanon, Ohio,
who is now with her mother at 50 West
Seventh street. Her name is Mary Mar
garet Reardon, and her father is an en-
ploye of the l., B. & W. Railroad. She is
eleven years old, and has been almost
totally blind since birth, being aflicted
with what is known as congenital cata-
racts. The center of each pupil had cat
aract, and she could only see dimly from
the circle around the cataract. As her
mother said, she could see dark objects
moving, but could not distinguish q horse
or cow from train Of cars. She had re-
Iceived an education such as il given to the
letters which are used for the sight
less. Her parents had been anxious to
have something done for her eyes since
she was three years old, and taken her
to prominent specialists, who would not
guarantee that they could do her any
good Within the last few weeks DR..
McDermott has been treating her, and
Tuesday last he made an operation on
the left eye. He did not attempt to re-
move the cataract, but made an incision
in the lower part of the eye, and
formed a new pupil. He then ban
daged the eye, and found yesterday
that it had entirely healed up without in
Illumination. He therefore repeated the
operation ON the right eye yesterday af-
ternoon. The little girl, who had q fine,
intelligent face and pretty golden hair,
was startled when the bandage was re-
moved yesterday morning from the first
eye operated on, and declared that things
looked strange to her. She took no an
aesthetic while the operation was per-
formed, and never dinched or cried. The
doctor says that for few days his patient
will have to wear . bandage, and after
that she will begin, to see, and in q few
weeks b able to read common type.
