Standard Time Applied With Far Msf<
Than Modern Facility.

Standard Time Applied With Far Mere
Than Modern Facility.
Standard time, 1t seems, is not new
thing. In the twentieth chapter of IL
Kings 1t was applied with far more than
modern facility and variety. Hezekiah.
who was contemporary of Homer. was
sick unto death, and was advised by tho,
Prophet Isaiah to put his house in order.
On being thus admonished Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and wepk
then prayed for recovery. Soon after
ward he was assured by the prophet that
the prayer had been heard and that If
teen years would be added to his life.
Hezekiah asked for a sign that he would
thus happily be healed. Isaiah an
swered that the shadow on the sun dial
should be moved forward or backward
ten degrees as the desired sign. And
the sacred hiSsory continues thus:
40. And Hezekiah answered: 1T 10
. light thing for the shadow to 60 down
ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow re-
turn backward ten degrees
oil And Isaiah the prophet cried unto
the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten
degrees backward, by which it had gone
down in the dial Of Ahaz."
Thus the first known mention of the
sun dial is coupled with a more dif1cult
problem in time-keeping than any now
agitating the public. Weekly

THE TALKING DEMON.
How He Was nc Last BanIshed From HI
Favorite Haunts.


Fsvorite Haants.
According to historical accounts Val.
ladolid, in Yucatan. has been the the
alter of remarkable events in days not
very distant. 1t is asserted, on the au.
thority of the church, that the place
was once haunted by a demon Of the
worst character, called "a demonio par
lero," or talking devil, because he held
nightly discourse with any who chose to
question him, answering like q parrot
Though never visible he seems to have
been q merry sort Of devil, dancing,
laughing, playing on guitars and casta-
nets. After time he took to throwing
stones into houses, pelting people with
eggs, slandering honest folk-in short,
getting the whole town by the ears to
such an extent that the Bishop Of Mer-

pain of severe spiritual punishment 10
Is related that when the people ab-
stained from any further communities
ton with him the demonio wept and
walled, and finally took revenge by
burning houses. At this alarming juno
ture the cure was compelled to seek d.
vine assistance, and after q long tussle
succeeded in ousting the devil, who fed
70 the woods. In an official report the
pious DR.. Sanchez de Aguilar says: IAN
aunt Of mine, one day vexed with
this devil, said % him, Go
out OF my house, thou evil

blow on the face that left his nose red.

ward, when / was . cure Of the same
city, the demonio returned to infest
some Of my annexed villages, especially
that OF Yulcoba- He always came at
midnight or at one o'clock q m, with .
great whirlwind. dust and noise as Of .
hurricane. Stones swept over the en-
tire pueblo, and though the Indians
promptly put out all the fires in their
kitchens, even this did not avail, for
from the flames with which the devil
himself was tormented proceeded flashes
like mighty comets or wandering stars,
which did fire two or three houses at
once. and spread so rapidly that there
were not people enough to put them out
/, being sent for to come and drive him
away, coujured the demon with the faith
and zeal that God gave me, and COM
handed him not to enter that village
again, whereupon the fires and the
whirlwind ceased, to the glory and
honor OF the Divine Majesty which has
given such power to the priests" Be-
ing thus banished from Yulcoba, the
demon returned to Valladolid with new
burnings, but was finally barred out
altogether by setting up consecrated
crosses on all the surrounding hills.
These he could not pass, and to this day
hundreds of the holy crosses stand guard
around Valladolid.-Fsnnie B. Ward, In

Why Women Have to Pay Higher Prices
For Clothes Than Men.
The relative cost ofmen's and women's
clothes was never more clearly illus
trated than in the prices charged in .
leading tailor's establishment in this
city. Complete suits of cheviot, in
three pieces, are made up for men at $50
10 SIS, while woman's gown of the
same material will cost SIS finished
with cheap cotton Innings; with silk
Innings it is SIS. 1t takes about twice
IS much material for q woman's gown
rs for a mans suit, but this is a small
item and would not add more than
IS per cent TO the cost The chief
reason for the higher price charged
women is that there is very little COM
petition among the tailors who furnish
women with dresses A tailor gown Is
regarded even now by ordinary buyers
rs an extravagant fancy, and this senti-
ment without doubt affects prices The
tailor gowns sold in shops where ready
made dresses are retailed is the barest
makeshift for what it pretends to be.
The cheapest cloths, cotton Innings and
Of its makeup Business women and
any women who desire to dress neatly
and plainly, who wish strong, daintily
made gowns, which will endure the
wear and tear of work, find they must pay
extravagant prices to supply their needs.
1t is for the interest of the tradesman
that women's dresses shall be made in
such a way as not to last too long"
and in many cases they seem made so
that they will wear out as fast IS posi-

man or woman has fortune waiting
who will engage competent workmen
and establish a huge retail store for
supplying women and schoolgirls with
jackets and gowns of cloth as neatly
made and as we'll finished and as well
lined as those now sold TO men. There
are such establishments in London

the sleeve reached well over the hand

Of down. Already little pads are used
to support the top of sleeves of sheer
materials; and Worth has revived the
long Tudor sleeve, which fell over the

A story Of Dom Pedro.

DR.. Stellwag, the famous oculist while
lecturing to his students at Vienna, told
q pretty story of Dom Pedro, Of Brazil
He said that he had had many opportu-
mites of conversing with the ex-Em-
peror, man of the highest character
and Of great culture, whose heart and
mind were always filed with plans for
improving the condition of his people.
1t was one of his dearest wishes to have
a big hospital in Rio, but he lacked the
money wherewith to build it, and the
wealthy could not be induced to sub
scribe. Then an idea came to him, as 10
had to the Emperor Joseph nearer home.
and he began to bestow titles. Any man,
who was willing TO give a good, round
sum to the hospital could call himself
Count Viscount or Baron. The patent
of nobility was not hereditary, and IL
the children wished to inherit the IA
theirs title, they had to pay over again.
Rio was suddenly psopled with noblea
