Standard time, ii seems, is not a new

Kings u was applied with far more than
modern facility and variety. Hezekiah,
who was u contemporary Of Homer, was
sick unto death. and was advised by the
Prophet Isaiah to put his house in order
On being thus admonished Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and wept,
then prayed for recovery.
Soon afterward he was assured by the
prophet that the prayer had been heard,
and that fifteen years would be added to
his life. Hezekiah asked for sign that
he would thus happily be healed. Isaiah
answered that the shadow on the sun

And the sacred history continues thus:

Although photography was unknown
to the Greeks and Romans, we neverthe.
less get strikingly distinct views of the
life that was led in their early times.
One of these glimpses is given in the
following.
The Museum of Antiquities at Dres-
den has come into possession OF an in
teresting marble relief from Rome
which represents an ancient butchers
shop, Of oblong shape, and divided by a
pillar into two unequal parts.
In the greater stands the butcher, with
o high chopping block, resting ON three
substantial legs, before him, while be-
hind him hangs the steelyard and a
cleaver, he himself being occupied in
dividing a rib Of meat with another
cleaver.
On the wall above him, just as with
| us, is row of hooks near TO each other,
on which hang pieces of meat already
dressed; rib and leg of meat, pork
| joint and uddors a tidbit of the Remains;
also lungs and liver, and, last of all, the
favorite boar's head.
| On the left, in the smaller division Of
the shop, the wife OF the butcher sits in
an easy chair, with an account book on
her knees, engaged in assisting the bust
ness of her husband by acting as book
keeper. Her headdress points to the
time of the Antonines. Youths Com

St. cuthb.rt. Tn. Woman Ha,sr.

st. Guthbert would have no female
creature about his place at Landisfarne,
not suffering even a COW, saying:
"Where there is COW there must be a
woman, and where there is woman
there must he mischief" In the cathe-
dral at Durham, dedicated to him, a
black cross in the pavement marked the
spot beyond which no woman was al
lowed to pass. In 1888 Edward III and
his queen went to the priory at Durham
and lodged together.
In the middle Of the night a monk
broke into their room and rudely awak-
ened the royal pair. saying TO the queen
that ST. Cuthbert loved not the sex and
that she must up and go. The queen
tumbled out of bed and spent the rest OF
the night in the church, praying for par
don to the patron saint, whom she had
offended. In l4l7 two servant girls
dressed themselves as men and ''impi-
ously approached the saints shrine,

How Timothy Grass Was Named.

Timothy or herd grass is the most com,
mon grass Of continental Europe, grow
ing wild throughout all that vast region
between the Mediterranean sea on the
south and the North sea in the direction
the name implies. 1t is not known ex-
actly when it was first introduced into
the United States, but this much is
known, it takes its name from Timothy
Hanson. farmer of Maryland. who
brought it into general notice as n hay
grass. after he had cultivated it extern
sively for his own use for years. The
botanical name for the grass Is phleum
pratense. 1t is curious fact that, al
though its native home is Europe, the
United States is the first country in
which it was grown, Gu. and cured for
hay. Not longer ago than 1855 some
timothy heads and seeds were taken to
England and exhibited as curiositics.-

A pnngcrous "FountIng."

The more prominent citizens Of small
western town had come together one
evening for the purpose Of getting the
sentiment Of the community regarding
the purchase of fountain for the park
in the center OF the village.
Several men had expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of the measure, when
a penurious elderly resident, famous for
always opposing the majority, rose and
said in his squeaking, irritable voice:
"Well, gentlemen, amt in favor Of
this founting business. no. sir, amt.
You've went and got park laid out that
the town didn't need. and now you want
to spend more money on useless old

A Wax Figure Of an Emperor Beheadcd.

There are men employed at the Eden
Musee whose business il is to comb the
hair of the wax figures. keep their faces
and necks clean, and brush their clothes.
This is supposed to be done out of bust
ness hours, but occasionally some of the
helpers get caught. One of these things
which some people call funny coin
cident happened the very day that Bis
marck resigned. The young man who
had charge Of the crowned head wax
department, without any knowledge Of
what was going ON in Germany, went
among the crowned wax heads with
brush and comb.
The heads of these figures are fastened
on in such a way that they can be easily
removed. 1t was therefore funny co.
incident that on the day the young Ger
man emperor accepted the resignation
Of the old Iron Chancellor the young
hair brusher of the Musee took off the
head Of the young emperor to comb and
brush the hair. 1t was still funnier
when he forgot to put it back and sew

fore them beheaded.- Chicago Tribune
