TESTED ny 4 STAR.
Old-Timc Method of Calculating Time
rmM NInmNmrlmg niNImmcnS.

Some very old printing that was brought
| to light the other day contains curious sus-
| gcstons for making certain calculations that
Will interest many people, says the Detroit
Free Press. One of the suggestions runs
| to the effect that a person may ascertain the
rate Of his walking by the aid of a string
with a piece Of lead at the end Of it, The
string should be knottod at distances OF
forty-four feet which distance IS the l2Jth
part of an English mile and bears the same
proportion to a mile that half a minute
bears to an hour. If the traveller when
going at his usual gait, drops the lead, let
ting the string slip through his hand, the
number Of knots which have PASSED in half
a minute indicates the number OF inches
he walls in an hour
An easy method of correctly regulating a
timcpicce by the stars is suggested as FOL
lows:
As the motion of the earth with regard to
the fixed stars Chose that twink!c) IS uni
form, timeplcces can in a most simple man
ner be correctly regulated by the stars with
greater facility than by the sun. Choose a
south window from which any hXed point,
such as a chimney, side OF building, etc"
may be seen. TO the side OF the window
attach a piece of cardboard having a small
hole in it in such a manner that by looking
through the hole toward the edge OF the
elevated object some fixed star may be
seen.
The progress of the star must be watched
and the instant il vanishes behind the hAed
point the observer must note the exact time
ii disappears. The following night the same
star will vanish behind the same object
three minutes and nfty-siX seconds sooner
If a timcpiece marks o'clock when the
star vanshes one night, the following night
II will indicate three minutes and iity-a&
seconds less than O. II the timepiece be
faster or slower than the indication of the
star then 1t has gained or lost the indicated
difference. If several cloudy nights follow
the first observation OF the star, 1t is only
necessary to multiply three minutes hity-slA
seconds by the number of days that have
ELAPSED since the observation, aud the
product deducted from the hour the clock
indicates the first night olear enough for the
second observation gives the tlme the
clock or watch ought to show. The same
star can only be observed during few
weeks for as It gains nearly an hour In
fortnight. II viii in short time come to
the meridian in broad daylight and become
invisible,
In making the observations caro- must be
taken that planet Is not chosen Instead OF
n star. Additional to the fact that the llsht
OF fixed stars twinkle while that OF plan
cts is steady because reflected, sure means
OF distinguishing between them Is to hrst
watch a certain star atteutiycly for few
NIGHTS. II It changes It's place with regard
TO the other stars 1t is a planet since the
fixed stars appear TO maintain the same
relative positions with regard to each

SLEEPING AFTER EATING.
The Aftcr-Dinner Nap Said TO he the
Essence of bliss.

The frequency with which medical men
are asked whether II iG harmful to indulge
in the afternoon nap" is not, perhaps sur
prising, for several reasons says the Med
ical Press. Most persons have had expert
ence OF the seductive charms of the sOmnO-
lencc which has followed the comfortable
ingestion OF a midday or evening meal. The
meal finished, the diner arranges himself
comfortably IN an armchair; 1t may be he

ful conditions OF his mind and body. But
nature coon begins to assert her sway. In
time, the eyelids close, the head begins TO
nod the newspaper falls from the hands, the
pipe, no longer supported in the mouth,
falls to the floor, and the symptoms OF a
nap are complete. Whether the "winks" be
forty or 100 In number, the result Is the
same--a short, sound sleep. Then comes
the question Is II harmful thus 10 fall asleep

obvious reason that the process Is merely
a physiological one, and, as such, when II
occurs, Is quite natural When digestion Is
in progress, nature has arranged that all

lectod in and about the digestive organs,
Consequently the blood supply to the brain

phenomenal sale, a sale that has reduced
our stock beyond our fondost hopes. It

We had to do was to convince the people

now that the price cutting was genuine.
We've been careful to say nothing VIC could

great measure OF our success
But Saturday is the last day. Goods thai
