Earliest Methods of Measuring Time.


The story is that King Alfred had no
better way to tell the time than by burn
ing twelve candies, each of which lasted
two hours, and, when all 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 hollow hemisphere, with
bead in the centre, 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 tab.
lets were marked the different hours.
When the shadow came to the mark *,
it was nine O'Clock in the morning. The
dial was sometimes placed near the
ground. or Ill towers or buildings The
old clock on the eastern end of Faneuil
Hall, III Boston, was formerly dial o,
this kind: and on some of the old church
towers i'll England you may see them
to-day. Aside from the kinds mentioned
the dials now III existence are intended
more for ornament than for use. In the
days when dials were used, each one
contained motto Of some kind, like
these "Time flies like the shadow
or 4 tell no hours but those that are
happy" But the dial could be used only
in the day time, and, even then, it was
worthless when the sun was covered with
clouds. Iu order to measure the hours
of the night as we'll us the hours of the
day. the Greeks and Romans used the
clepsydra, which means 1.-The water
steals away" A large jar was filled 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 OF
else stick, with notches in the edge,
was dipped into the wa er, and the depth
of what WAS LETT showed the hour Some
times the water dropped into another jar,
N which block of wood was floating,
the block rising as the hours went on.

Grace Before Meat Always.

This custom is more prevalent in
Scotland than in England. With
"goody" people grace is said not only
before breakfast aud dinner, but even
when the slightest refresi,ment is taken.
Indeed, in the II 9hlanas, especially in
Sutherland and Ross shire. it is custom

Old King Louis OF Eavdrla.

Old King Louis still lived at Munich,
in the WIttel8bach Palace-whence Lola
Montez used to clll him Herr Wittels-
bach-though he usually spent part of
the year IN travelling and continued to
manifest abundant sigus of that oddncss,
which was reproduced in an exaggerated
form in both his grandsons He was
fond of walking about in Munich, con-
versing with everybody he met, especially
with pretty shopgirls - who were of
course eager enough to attract his Ma
iesty's notice-and Us lie had grown very
deaf the conversation could not be
carried on soto voce, even had he so
desired. One Of his favorite questions
was, (Which do you like best, the
Ludwigstrasse (Which he had built HIM
self or the MaXimllianstrasse' (named
from his SOM A courtly intellocutor
would, of course, say the Ludwigstrasse,
but those who were scrnpulous about
veracity-and his Majesty always said he
wished to know the truth could hardly
help avowing the preference for the
Maximilianstrasse. Then" was the
prompt reply, uttered in no low or
faltering tones, you are an ass" On
one occasion, during an interval between
the parts of a concert at the Odeon, his
Majesty, more suo, pounced on pretty
shopgirl with his usual opening query
i'll such cases o Are you married or
nof?" She answered "No" (nein), but
the King thought she had said yes,
and proceeded at once to his regular
second query How many children
have you ?" 1t need hardly be said that
there was dead silence, and everybody
in the room was listening. The young
woman blushlng to the roots of her hair,
again repeated in louder voice. "Nein, -
but the King, who still supposed her to
be married. not unnaturally took her
nein for "Neun" (nine), and exclaimed,
while the whole assemblage was con-
vulsed with laughter, "Zu vlel, zu viel "
(too many; SO the poor girl paid dearly

There are Indications of determine.
tion on the part of Mitchell to make
another effort to secure the remova, of
the United States court frer, Yankton
during the coming session of the legisla-
ture. 1t is not claimed that there is any
better reason for the proposed removal
of the coart than that Mitchell wants it
for the honor and profit which goes with
it. Mitchell is no more accessible than
Yankton and contains no greater facili.
ties for dispensing justice. It wants the
court. That is all there is in
its argument. Thus far our people
have looked with Indifference
upon the efforts of it's neighbor
to procure the court SO long located in
Yankton; but we are of the opinion that
something more than passing interest
should be taken in the case. So long aH
there is no good reason for change
Yankton is fully entitled to retain one
OF the institutions which has been psrt
OF its existence and growth from the
beginning. 1t has always been the
policy of our city to put no obstacle in
the way OF the coyetous designs of other
Dakota communities, but it seems bes,
on this OCCASION, though rather late in
the day, to depart from this habit and
contest the false claims of our up the

death Of Col. wilnam n. Hoadlev

Huron, Dakota, Noy. 6--Col. William
H. Hoadley died at his residence in this
city about midnight last night, in the
forty-sixth year OF his age He has been
in dellcate healt.. for some months and
his death was NOT unexpected. Che
funeral will occur Monday afternoon,
under direction of the q. a. j. Mr..
HoadleY came to Huron in tne foil of
1882 and took charge of the Methodist
church as it's pastor. Lii health forced
him to abandon the m,nistry, and he
removed to his farm about fifteen miles
southwest of Huron, where.he resided
with his family until year ego, when
his residence was destroyed by fire, to-
gether with his household effects and
very valuable library. Returning to
Huron, he renamed tor brief time,
when the conference of his church
assigned him TO Altoona, and he re-
moved his family to that place and be-
came pastor OF the nj. e. church. Health
again failing he returned to Huron,
where he has since resided. Mr.. Hoaa
ley was one OF tine best-known men In
the south and central Dakota, having
been among the more active in the cause
OF temperance. He published the
Alliance IN this city, which was wholly
devoted TO the temperance work, and
probably to no other one man in Dakota

the election year ago than to MIR.
Hoadley. For more than year he was
q deputy worthy chief templar, and in
that capacity lectured on temperance in
various part OF the territory, and insti-
tuted goodly number of lodges. His
death brings sorrow to hundreds of
homes in Dakota, and his loss will be
greatly felt. Mr.. Hoadley served in the
Forty-seventh Illinois infantry for near
ly three years of the war. and gained
promotion by faithfulness and bravery,
till he was commissioned lieutenant
colonel. His family, consisting of a
wife and FIVE children-two sons and

Chicago, Nov. S.-There was consider
able excitement at the stock yards this
morning, but no outbreak. Thousands
OF man who struck Saturday were as
sembled in the neighborhood discussing
Coy. Oglesbs's ordering out troops to
guard the yards and other matters con-
nected with the strike. AT ATmour's
sIaughtering was going on with mixed
gang, many old men working with
new men. with apparent good
feeling. The houses of Swift and
Morris were also running with
forces OF new men. No other house was
in operation. OF 5000 strikers the
majority appear to favor the use of the
militia, us they say the strike may be 8
long one and they want to have it pro-
ceed in au orderly manner. The presence
of the militia will preserve order and
keep under the disorderly element. Al
one said, "bloodshed and riots are the
