Earliest Methods of Measuring Time.

The story is that King Alfred had no
better way to tell the time than by burning
twelve candles, each of which lasted two
hours and when all the twelve were gone,
another day had passed Long before 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 sun-dial.
The old Chaldeans so placed ahollow hem
isphere, 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 X,
it was nine o'clock in the morning. The
dial was sometimes placed near the ground,
or in towers or buildings. You see, in the
picture, two sun-dials that are in 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
a dial of this kind and on some of the old
church-towers in England you may see
them to-day. Aside from the kinds men
OaOHSu, thC uldlS HOW III eAlSUc0C6 are III
tended more for ornament than for use.
In days when dials were used, each one
contained motto of some kind, like these:
"Time flies like the shadow" or, 81 tell no
hours but those that are happy"
But the dial could be used only in the
daytime; and even then, it was worthless
when the sun was covered with clouds.
In order to measure the hours of the night
as well 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 was 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
on. Once in a while, some very rich man
had a clepsydra that sounded musical note
at every hour.-Popular Science Monthly.

BATHING IN WARM WHARF.-THE
Sanitary World considers cleanliness not
only essential to good health, but also a
mark of good breeding, The workman, by
the clinging of dust to his perspiring per-
son, becomes fit subject for the bath tub
very frequently; too frequent bathing how
ever, is weakening. 1t may not be advis-
able to take bath morning and evening,
as some medical journals advise; but there
should be good washing freqently enough
to keep the person clean. Warm baths
will often prevent the most virulent dis
eases. A person who may be in fear of
having received infection of any kind should
take a warm bath, suffer perspiration to
ensue, and then rub dry. He is advised to
dress warmly to guard against taking cold.
If the system has imbibed any Infectious
matter, it will be removed by resorting to
the warm bath if the latter is taken before
the infection has time to spread over the
system; and even if some time has elapsed,
the drenching perspiration that may be In
duced by hot water will be very certain to
remove it. In cases of congestion, bilious
collie, Inflammation, &C., there is no remedy
more certain to give relief than hot bath.
In cases of obstinate constipation also won
derful cures have been wrought. For sore
threat, diphtheria and inflammation of the
lungs, hot compress is one of the most
potent remedies

The Groom and Grass Cutter.

In stable where valuable Arab horse
has to be cared for the syce is most i'm
portant parsonage A really good, trust
worthy syce is nowadays seldom to be met
with. There are Mohammedan syces
throughout Northern India, but the great
majority are Hindus of low caste. The
duties of the syce are to feed and groom
the horse he is put in charge ola separate
syce is necessary for each one of the horses
comprising a stable-to be ready to accom-
pany his master to the parade ground, the
band stand, or for wherever he may be
bound, and to keep the latter in sight and
follow him any distance, no matter at what
pace the sahib may choose to ride, 1t is
astonishing what powers of endurance these
native grooms display in this respect; for,
however far the distance or quick the gal
lop, he is seldom left far behind, and nearly
always makes his appearance soon after his
master draws rein. A Bengal syce worthy
of the name can hardly in any country in
the world be surpassed at his work. Heis
a most excellent groom, and by means of
hand rubbing, which he often practices for
hours together, he brings out the muscles
and sinews of horse till they are as tou h
and hard as iron. 1t is good custom to
inspect daily the allowance of corn or grain
provided by the syce for his charge, as not
unfrequently dishonest groor.s steal a por-
ton of it and grind it for their own food.
The "grass cutter" the last in our list, is
humble individual, who, as his title tells us,
supplies grass for the horse to which he is
attached. Hay is seldom seen in India;
but horses thrive well on particular kind
of soft green grass, which the grassroutter
cuts, or rather digs up with a small iron
instrument called a koorpah. 1t is well,
every now and again, to examine the quail
ity and quantity of the grass supplied for
each horse, or else lazy individuals will
likely enough bring in coarse hard stuff
quite unfit for the purpose. In large sta
tons grass.cutter who performs his work
properly has often to walk many miles be-
fore reaching spot where soft tender grass
is procurable The grass-cutter is under
the immediate orders of the syce, and
usually receives 4 rupees month as pay
for his services.-C Chambers Journal

Blue-Stocking.

In "Gleanings for the Curious" we find
the following account of the origin of the
term 'sblue-stocking" 1t was the fashion
in London, in 1871, for ladies to have
evening assemblies where they might par
ticipate in conversation with literary men.
These societies acquired the name of sSRlue
Stocking Clubs, AN appellation which
has been applied to pedantic females ever
since. 1t rose from the custom of Mr..
Stillingfeet, one of the most eminent mem
bers, wearing blue stockings, Such was
the excellence of his conversation, and his
absence was so great loss, that it used to
be said, owe can do nothing without the
"Blue Stockings" and thus the title was
gradually established. In Hannah More's
poem, "Bas Bleu," many of the most con-
spicuous members are mentioned

Gail Hamilton on Woman Suffrage.

Woman suffrage is an artificial cause,
and is just as hard to keep up as slavery
was to put down. Convention, discussion,
legislation, fail to arouse any enthusiasm
for woman's right, because there is no or
ganizeG, insistent, radical woman's wrongs.
Individual women suffer, and concrete laws
are unjust, but men as class are not un-
just to women as a class. As men in
crease in refinement and virtue, women
share in the improvement-inevitably, be-
cause man is compounded of men and
women. Whatever women suffer they
suffer from the imperfection Of human So
ciety, not from any combined Intentional
oppression by the stronger sex. Woman
suffrage languishes not because women do
not wish it. Women cannot be made to
wish it, because they do not suffer from the
lack of it. Whenever they want it they
will have it. There is more danger that
they will have it without wanting it than
that they will want it without having it.

Charcoal.

Charcoal is valuable as fuel, but it has
other uses which make it one of the most
serviceable of articles, When laid fat
while cold, on burn, it causes the pain to
abate; by leaving it on for an hour the
burn seems almost healed when the wound
is superficial.
Tainted meat, covered with it, is sweet
ened. Strewn over heaps of decomposed
pelts or over dead animals, charcoal pre-
vents unpleasant odor. Foul water is puri-
fed by it. 1t is a great disinfectant, and
sweetens offensive air if placed in shallow
trays around apartments.
1t is so very porous that it absorbs and
condenses gases rapidly. One cubic inch
of fresh charcoal will absorb nearly one
hundred inches of gaseous ammonia, Char
coal forms an excellent poultice for malig-
nant wounds and sores. In cases of what
is called proud flesh it is invaluable.
1t gives no disagreeable odor, corrodes
no metal, hurts no texture, Injuries no col
ors, is safe and simple disinfectant.
A teaspoonful of charcoal in half glass
of water often relieves sick headache. 1t
absorbs the gases and relieves the distended
stomach pressing against the nerves that
extend from the stomach to the head.

Fair native land when contemplating thee,
The mind, on wings of thought. exalted scars;
Upon thy plains, where pillows ofthe sea
Break into silvery spray upon thy shores,
And in thy valleys smiling Plenty pours
Her treasures with a free and lavish hand:
When winters breath is cold, when tempest roars,
When fields are green till au tumn winds are
bland
The seasons come with gifts to bless grateful land
From the first dawn of intellectual morn
Devotedly my heart was drawn to thee:
When, one by one, the passing years are borne
Into the misty past more pure and free
Is that devotion: radiant Liberty
Like bright sun illumines thy domain:
Darkness of error from this light must flee
AS glides the dusky night from off the plain
When the great King ofday in splendor regns again.
Resplendent from the mirror of thy lakes
The sunbeams sparkle-or, upon the heights
ofRocky Mountain ice-crags, when awakes
The day. they break in sprays of glittring lights,
Or Nature, in the dewy vale, invites
Those beams the life of verdue to restore,
When springtime smiles and frost longer blights,
Or they reflect from surf on oceans shore.
Or light the feecy clouds that DER the high peaks
soar.
No tyrant hand with strong, unyielding clasp
The sceptre holds with an oppressive sway;
No despot ruler. with a cruel grasp,
Dares take the peoples liberties away
Oh meyer may dark and evil day
Hide the clear light, when, like a cloudy veil
Events portentous shall the land dismay.
And what the people value most, shall fail,
And strife and anarchy the nations life assail
May gentle Peace long wave her magic wand
And bid each agitated wave be still;
Let all obey her mild, but strong command,
Most gladly subject to her sovereign will;
And every vale and hamlet verdant hill,
And crowded city with its teeming tide
Of human life-all-all the measure fill
OF human veal: Columbia, far and wide
AS thy dominion spreads, shall Freedoms sway
abide.

Helping the Editor.
Tie Minnennolis Tribnne.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
We like the volunteer journalist fried,
if he is young, and boiled, if he is old-but
we like him. The good people who lie
awake nights devising plans to improve
their papers-doubtless think they are do
ing the world great service, and they are
not. If a journal is not properly con-
Quoted, the public will find it out. The
subscription list and advertising patronage
will tell the business manager that some
thing is wrong, and the remedy will be ap-
piled without outside assistance. There are
few people who would have the impudence
and effrontery to stop physician on his
way to visit patient and tell that physi-
clan that he was pursuing exactly the wrong
course of treatment, and would surely kill
his patient Nobody but lunatic would
interrupt judge in the midst of his charge
to the jury, and say "See here, you are
not giving those twelve men the proper
instructions; you ought to know better than
that p People don't rush into dry goods
establishment in breathless haste and tell
the proprietor he made mistake in buying
calico last week, and ought to wait until
next week. Our greatest millers and man
ufacturers are not besieged by horde of
wise idlers who are loaded to the muzzle
with information about the proper time to
buy wheat or the necessity of limiting the
product until the demand increases. They
are allowed to attend to their own business,
and if they do not conduct it properly, de-
creased patronage soon warns them of their
danger.
In the newspaper Office it is different.
One volunteer thought-molder advises the
decapitation of correspondent because he
writes that ear muffs are not fashionable in
Cuba He fears it may injure the ear muff
trade in Minneapolis. Another complains
that the death of John McNiff, which oc-
Cured in Arkansas last May, was not
chronicled with the postscript, "Pine Bluff
and Moccasinville papers please copy" A
tender miss of nineteen summers and an
equal number of hard winters, futters in
with poem on cloves Young Dream"
and complains that hitherto too little at
tention has been paid to the muses.. She
adds that she would like to have her effu-
sion printed on the first page, top of col
umn, and will present her bill at the cash
ier's window. One man wants more for
eign news, and another thinks it is an out
rage to print rubbish from across the water
at ALL And SO it goes. If the editor
printed everything he is ordered to, he
would have to issue sixty-four page paper
every day; and if he omitted everything
his anxious advisers tells him to, his jour
nal would be as white as the driven snow.

Medical Value of Salt.

Severe pains in the bowels and stomach
are often speedily relieved by the applica-
ton of bag of salt A weak solution of
salt and water is recommended by good
physicians as a remedy for imperfect diges-
ton, and for cold in the head it is a COM
plete cure snuffed up from the hollow of
the hand. We have known severe chronic
cases Of catarrh entirely cured by the per-
sistent use of this simple remedy every
night and morning for several months,
where the best efforts of the best physici-
ans failed to do any good 1t should be
used milk warm. A good handful of rock
salt added to the bath is the next best
thing after an "ocean dip" and gargle of
a weak solution is good and ever-ready
remedy for sore throat As dentrifce,
salt and water is very cleansing and also
hardens the gums 1t will also prevent the
hair from falling out. When broiling
steak, throw little salt on the Goals,
and the blaze from the dripping fat will
not annoy. A little in starch, boiled or
raw, will prevent the irons from sticking.
If the irons are rough, put little salt on
thick brown paper, lay piece of thin
muslin over it, and rub the iron till perfect
ly smooth. Ink stains are entirely remov-
ed by the immediate application of dry salt
before the ink has dried When the salt
becomes discolored by absorbing the ink,
brush it off and apply more; wet slightly.
Continue this till the ink is all removed.
If new calicoes are allowed to stand in
strong salt water for an hour before the
first washing, the colors are less likely to
fade. Damp salt will remove the discolo-
rations of cups and saucers caused by tea and
care less washing. A teaspoonful of salt in
each kerosene lamp makes the oil give
much clearer, better light
