A had previously been the case in Greece, In
Rome the water clock came in to supply the
deficiencies of the sun dial. What form il
reached in its development there no one
knows. but il is certain that the clepsydra OF
that epoch kept continuously the hours Of the
day and night. Men Of means in Rome had
water clocks in their houses, with slaves TO
watch them and report the time. ''What hour
Is III! came to be q common saiutation on the
streets. Generals even took clepsydras into
the field with them.
THE TOWER OF THE WINDS.
But the most remarkable clepsydra ever
known was that set up in the so-called Tower
OF the Winds" at Athens, about so BIC, which
was the public timepiece Of the city. On the
roof.the building stood in the market place
was the figure of Triton pointing with a
trident toward the prevailing wind. This
structure may be said 10 have been q combined
naval observatory and weather bureau.
The Romans got their notion of dividing their
days and nights into twelfths from Egypt. OF
course the nights and days varied in length
with the seasons, and no mechanical time
keeper could possibly be devised TO register
them. This difficulty actually postponed the
final evolution Of the modern clock for many
centuries. 1t was Hipparchus who first sug-
gested that twentv-four even hours should be
considered to make a day, but ages were des-
tined to elapse before Ansonia was to produce
Its complete ninety innocent result.
IL ID from an essay in the annual report OF
the Smithsonian Institution. shortly to be pub
iished, written by the well-known expert in such
matters, Z. A Seely. that the above Informal
ton regarding the antiquities of time-keeping
was obtained.

during an evening at Mrs. Thrale's and so does
the tea tiend drink as many cups as she can
get at as many different houses. She Is never
so happy as when she has half dozen or more
teas to go to in one afternoon, and she never
misses one. She and her contemporaries fol-
low one another about from tea to tea, slipping
cup of their fayorite beverage at each place.
Ii In their peregrinations they light upon a big
tea. where there is lunch of some substance
being served, they stop there and eat as much as
they can. Then they go home tired out but
happy.
There Will be some ladies who are friends of
mine in the city tomorrow" said Smith to Bue-
son the other day; ''what shall / do to make
them have good timer
Fire them out" was the reply.
There is great deal in the idea. A woman,
and especially young woman. never thinks
she has thoroughly enjoyed herself until she is
half dead with fatigue. and she has a good op-
portunity of getting tired if she goes to many
teas.
HARD LIFE.
There is another tea fend who is a poor
young man and starts out to gather in dinner
piecemeal. But he lives hard, this young
man, and he plays the deuce with his liver. for
what digestion can Withstand a diet of salted
almonds and maearoons and strong rum punch?
He Il not apt to get much more than this at an
afternoon tea. Sometimes he stumbles upon O
feast-crOquettes, salads and things of that
kind-and when he does he eats voraciously,
proceeding upon the boa constructor principle
of gorging himself when it is possible in view
of subsequent starvation, which Is probable.
But friends and angels. young and old, rich
and poor all flock to the teas There is no sign
of this entertainment going out On the con-
trary more OF them are given each year, and il
Is safe prediction that whatever else may hap
pen this winter. every one will have an oppor-
tunity Of attending as many afternoon teas as
he or she NAV desire.

November 5 an additional petition was re-
celved from Mrs. +. Z. Thompson and others,
accompanied by petition from several physi-
clans practicing III the vicinity of the premises
mentioned, again requesting the abatement Of
the nuisance complained of. November 8 an
inspection OF the premises was made by the
health Office, and the alleged nuisance not
having been abated, the case was referred to the
attorney OF the District for prosecution in the
Police Court under the provisions of section II
of the health ordinances. The acting health
officer, Mr.. McGinn, in a letter written to the
District Commissioners yesterday regarding
the case, says: Il am informed that the case
was called for trial on the Sth of November
and continued until the 18th. On the 18th,
am further informed, it was called and the case
dismissed on the ground Of want Of jurisdic-
ton. On neither occasion had this Office been
informed regarding the prospective trial of the

that the United States district attorney re-
quested the use of papers in the case which had

The primitive notion Of time was necessarily
regulated by hunger. When the savage felt a
gnawing he realized that the hour for a meal
had arrived. Naturally, inasmuch as a human
being wants food usually three times a day. this
would make definite division of the waking
hours. Noon was the first point Of time recog-
nlzed, because it is midway between breakfast
and supper and the SIM at that hour suggests
that the middle Of the day has come.
