though the offerings of the higher grades

so uniformly mean as we have had for
the past several weeks il is most diff

10 vary the mOnOtony of our reports.
During the early part of the week we
had small sales, lasting only during the
morning hours. But we had rains on
Wednesday, which gave US larger breaks
on Thursday and Friday though the
weather was too cold to handle leaf to
advantage. We look for still larger
breaks for next week There has been
an occasional lot Of good old wrappers
offered. Nearly break every shows q
few old tobaccos, ranging from
a common wrapper (Which was
classed az only filler when prices were
lower TO medium wrsppers Even these
are much in demand, and if there is any
chance of picking out only small pro-
portion 90 wrappers, they are very
promptly taken al good prices. We nave
noticed good many of the manuiactur-
ers picking over their last years cuttings
for wrappers, and they say that they find
even these wrappers to be better than
what they are buying In the new in many
cases There has been an abundance OF
frosted stock on the market this week.
II sells at from 1c TO &c. We find a
very good proportion of good filters ON
the market every day, and our manufac.
turers are taking them very freely.
Though these filters lack length, they
are of good quality, generally Prices
are firm all around. We see no disposi-
lion 10 lower prices Even the common
stock ia selling well. We think that with
large breaks that there must be consld-
cradle decline in the prices Of this class
of goods. Every day there is more or
less trading in round lots o. old tobaccos
Of all grades held by the dealers. In the
majority Of cases, these lots are bought
for and shipped directly to manuiactur-
els. But good many lots have been
bought and sold several times, making a
prolt each time they are sold. The
stocks held by the dealers is getting
down to be very small

REVIEW

hENlE
NEW York, March 2j.-The stock
market for an hour indicated bullish
speculation, but tbs Western stocks soon
became weak, and declines in Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Rock Island, and
AtchisOn affected the list to $50 o'clock
There was a good undertone to most
stocks, and railroad earnings reported
are very favorable. The Jersey Central
Company in 1888 made about Is per
cent, and spent nearly all of it on the
road. II promises 10 action on divi-
dend in July. The market remains very
narrow and open to attack, particularly
if there is bad news. Some of tO-day's
selling was on vague reports that the
Paris situation was not so reassuring
The general situation, however, points to
better prices ahead aud no serious break
in the meantime. Bears may succeed in
depressing prices for day OF two. but
on depressions good stocks should be
bought for turns In the last half hour
there was some rally from the bottom
but the list closed weak al the lowest
prices.

Why sixty Seconds Make a Minut

WHY is our hour divided into sixty
minutes, each minute into sixty seconds,
&c Simply and solely because in
Babylonia there existed, by the side OF
the decimal system Of notation, another
system, the sexagesimal, which counted
by sixties. What that number should
have been chosen is clear enough, and
IL speaks well for the practical
sense of those ancient Babylonian
merchants There is no number
which has so many diylsors as
80. The Babylonisns divided the sum
daily Journey into ~ parasangs. or 720
stadia. Each parasang or hour was sub
divided into 80 minutes. parasang Is
about a German mile, and Babylonian
astronomers compared the progress made
by the sun during one hour at the time
OF the equinox 10 the progress made by a
good walker during the same time, both
accomplishing one parasang. The whole
course OF the sun during the "a equinoc-
tisl hours was fixed at "a parasangs. or
720 stadia, OF $50 degrees. This system
was handed on 10 the Greeks, and Hip
parchus, the great Greek philosopher,
who lived about $50 b. c., intro
duced the Babylonian hour into Eu-
rope. Ptolemy, who wrote about l5O
A. D., and whose name still lives In that
of the Ptolemaic system Of astronomy
gave still wider currency 10 the Baby
lonian way Of reckoning time. 1t was
carried along on the quiet stream OF ira
ditional knowledge through the Middle
Ages, and, strange 10 say, IL sailed down
safely over the Niagara Of the French
Revolution. For the French, when rev
authorizing weights, measures, coins,
and dates, and sslJec.ing all 10 the dec
imal system Of reckoning, were induced
by some unexplained motive 10

Here you see again the wonderful CO.
