What Broke the Press.

Our paper is two days late this
week." writes Nebraska editor, cow
ing to an accident to our press. When
we started to run the edition on We'd
nesday night, as usual, one Of the guy
ropes gave way allowing the forward
gilderfuke to- fall and break as it
struck the funkerfopper This, of
course, as any one knows anything
about press will readily understand,
left the gang plank with only the flip
flap to support it, which also dropped
and broke off the wapperchoke. This
loosened the fuking between the ram
rod and the fibbersnatcher, which also
caused trouble. The report that the
trouble was caused by over-indulgence
in Intoxicating stimulants by ourself is
tissue of falsehoods, the peeled APP
pearance of our right eye being caused
by our going into the hatchway Of the
press in our anxiety to start it, and
pulling the coupling pin after the slap
ping was broken, which caused the
daxus to rise up and welt us in the
optic. We expect brand new glider
fuke on this afternoons train,

Why Sixty Seconds make a
Minute.

Why is gu" hour divided into sixty
minutes, each minute into sixty seconds,
etc ? Simply because in Babylonia
there existed, by the side Of the decimal
system of notation, the sexagesimal,
which counted by sixties. Why that
number should have been chosen is
clear enough, and speaks well for the
practical sense of those ancient Baby
| lonian merchants. There is no number
which has SO many divisors as sky.
The Babylonians divided the suns
daily journey into twenty-four para
sangs, or 720 stadia. Each parasang
or hour was subdivided into sixty min
utes. A parasang is about German
mile, and Babylonian astronomers
compared the progress made by the
sun during one hour at the time of the
equinox to the progress made by a
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.
This system was handed on to the
Greeks, and Hipparchus, the great
philosopher, who lived about $50 B.
c., introduced the Babylonian hour in
Europe Ptolemy, who wrote about
$50 A. A., and whose name still lives
in that Of the Ptolematic 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 revolutionizing weights,
measures, CONS ana subJectlng all to
decimal system of reckoning, were in
duced by some unexplained motive to
respect our clocks and watches, and
allowed our dials to remain sexagesi-
NAL, that is, Babylonian, each hour
consisting Of sixty minutes Here you
see again the wonderful conference of
the world, and now what we call
knowledge is the result of an unbroken
tradition Of teaching descending from
father to son. Not more than about a
hundred arms would reach from to the
builders of the palaces Of Babylon, and
enable us to shake hands with the
founders Of the Oldest pyramids and to
thank them for what they have done
for us.

There is no more welcome visitor to
the beautiful home of the cripple heiress
than Annie Dunn, and if the children
of the pretty cottage ever have a
grievance, they are sure of sympathy
and comfort from Essie, who stands in
the place Of guardian angel in their
hearts.
But there has never come TO Essie
any dream of love since she took Her
bert Dunn and his wife into the place
Of beloved brother and sister.

THE SOCIABLE.

They carried pie to the parsons house
And scattered the floor with crumbs,
And marked the leaves of his choicest
books
With the prints of their greasy thumbs.
They piled his dishes high and thick
With a lot of unhealthy cake,
While they gobbled the buttered toast and
rolls
Which the parsons wife did make.
Next day the parson went down on his
knees
With his wife; but not to pray.
Oh, no! Twas to scrape the grease and
dirt
From the carpet and stairs away.

Discarded by WelI-bred Bellies

In the world Of frills and frivols
there are some things that had better
be left unbought, and here are few :
Either green or red gloves do not
permit yourself to be tempted by any
smooth tongued statesmen into believing
that anybody wears them-they don't.
Bustles they were always bad form,
and now they are recognized as not
only being out Of the line of beauty,
but in extremely bad styles.
Very short skirts for the house !;
they are awkward and belittle you from
mental as well as a physical standpoint.
Keep pretty tea gown with bit of a
train.
Yellow storm coats choose instead
of very dark blue ones.
Umbrellas with handles that look as
if the silver of the family had been put
into the pot and boiled down for this
purpose they are worse than green
postage stamp as far as giving the
lookers-on cachet as to your good
taste.
Colored letter paper, it died in the
same year with hoopskirts.
Rhinestone jewelry it should never
be worn in the daytime, and people
will think you are trying to pass it off
for diamonds if you try to wear it at
night.
Earrings beautiful ear looks bet
ter without them, and an ugly one
should not have attention drawn to il
| by them.

"But Lizzie, darling, do you love

"Your wife, Fred? Of all things no !

Fred WINGED little here, whether
at the thought of that unpaid livery
bill or the idea of Lizzie sleighing with
her other gentlemen friends, cannot
positively answer.
"How many do you think my sisters

of them. Such pretty girls as May

where in the evening | shouldn't like
to be left to pick my way along the

lection of a strong arm"

perhaps I've been spoiled. AT all

to have my husband vent all the i'll

"Oh, yes, Fred know what you

me time and again that no better hus-
band than theirs ever lived. No, Fred /;

shall hate awfully to give you up. Still,
if you are bent on marrying, there are
plenty Of girls who have not married
sisters, or who are not wise enough to

And don't fret about me, for I've no
doubt that | can find some one to fill
your place"
But before Lizzie had concluded,
Fred made for the door, muttering
something uncomfortable to ears po-
lite.
"There p exclaimed Lizzie, as the
door closed with a bang" | knew he
