and a refreshment bar, while classes for
dressmaking and singing are held on the

for girls living away from home; everything
is charged at wonderfully low rate, the
club subscription being, think, only two
pence a week. As result, the place is i'm

Divisions of Time.

Why is our hour divided into sixty min
utes, each minutes into sixty seconds, etc =?
Simply and solely because in Babylonia
there existed, by the side of the decimal
system, the sexagesimal, which counted
by sixties. Why that number should
have been chosen is clear enough, and it
speaks well for the practical sense of those
ancient Babylonian merchants. There is
no number which has SO many divisors as
sixty. The Babylonians divided the suns
daily journey into twenty-four parasangs.
or l20 stadia. Each parasang or hour was
subdivided into sixty minutes. A para
sang Is about a German mile, and Baby
lonlan astronomers compared the progress
made by the sun during one hour at the
time of the equinox to the progress made
by good walker during the same time.
both accomplishing one parasang. The
whole course OF the sun during the
twenty-four equinoctial hours was fixed
at twenty-four parasangs, or 720 stadia. or
$50 degrees. The system was handed on
to the Greeks, and Hipparchus, the great
Greek philosopher, who lived about $50
b. c., introduced the Babylonian hour into
Europe.

and whose name still lives in that of the
Ptolemaic system of astronomy, gave still
wider currency to the Babylonian way of
reckoning time. 1t was carried along on
the quiet stream of traditional knowledge
through the Middle Ages, and, strange to
say, it sailed down safely over the Niagara
of the French Revolution. For the
French, when revolu.ionizing weights,
measures coins, and dates, and subiecting
all to the decimal system of reckoning,
were induced by some unexplained motive
to respect our clocks and watches, and
allowed our dials to remain sexapesimal,
that is Babylonian, each hour consisting
of sixty minutes. Here you see again the
wonderful Conference of the world, and how
what we call knowledge is the result Of an
unbroken tradition of teaching descend

about hundred arms would reach from
US to the builders of the palaces of Baby
Ion, and enable us to shake hands with
the founders of the oldest pyramids and to
thank them for what they have done for

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
This Years Export Likely to Exceed that
of Last Year.


From all quarters of the State, and es-
pecially from the great horticultural dis
trict of which Sacramento is the center and
the shipping point, come stories of trees
loaded down with young fruit, aud of the
great expectations of orchardists Refer
ring TO the outlook, the San Francisco Post
of last evening says: Mayor Gregory of
Sacramento, q member of the California
Fruit Union, thinks that the States export
of deciduous fruits this year will amount TO
about 2 200 cars, or over % per cent. more
than last year. Reports from various parts
of the State indicate that the season is an
exceptionally favorable one, and thatnearly
every kind of fruit promises heavy yield.
The Frui. Union has decided to estab.
lish agencies at Buffalo, San Antonio, Tex,
Louisville, Cincinnati and several other
important points, in addition to those al
ready established, so as 10 make the radius
of distribution of California fruits as extern
sive as possible. The industry has grown
to be very important one, and no doubt
the near future will see it increase to still
greater proportions.
g 1t is probable that the shippers will be
able to secure favorable terms and condi-
tions from the railroad companies, as those
companies have become fully aware of the
Importance of the carrying trade in fresh
| fruits, and will naturally desire to help il
along. There was very little friction las,
year between the shippers and the rail-
roads, and even that might be easily re-
moved

WOULDN'T I?-
An Official Gets Pay That He Did Not
Expect.

Expect.
The last Legislature passed law increas-
ing the salary of the Governors Private
Secretary $S3 33l per month, ana money
was appropriated for the same, which
would presumably commence with the
fiscal year next July. Two years ago an
attempt was made to increase the salary of
the Private Secretary, which failed of
passage, but in the Appropriation Act
money was appropriated therefor, it being
supposed that the bill would become a law.
Secretary Boruck says he was not aware
that there was money in this fund. and con-
sequently did not expect that his salary
would be increased until July next. He
was therefore agreeably surprised when
asked by Deputy Controller Dunn at the
end of March whether he would like to
have his increased salary of $S3 33A per
month, his answer being, Wouldn't / ~
He was informed that the appropriation OF
two years ago was available, and that he
would be allowed to draw his increased
salary from March 4, 1889, the date OF the
approval of the bill.
