Almost 1.-The last work of the Belgian
astronomer Houzeau, deceased, was an
article in which; while arguing in ia
vor OF q decimal division Of time, he
pointed out the origin Of the double set
Of 10 hours represented ON our watch
and clock faces. The sncient inhabitants
Of Mesopotomia chose the number IL as
an arithmetical base because 10 has
four dfvisors-vdz, ., 8, and q,
while 10 has only two divisors-viz
. and 0. They counted 10 hours in
the day and 10 in the night, measuring
the day by the progress of the sun and
tho night by the progress Of the stars
across the sky. This system, prevailing
over all others, has come down to us,
and 70 our watches bear ON their faces
. souvenir of those ancient days when
the sun served for q clock hand half Of
the time and the stars the other half

IRRIGATION. ,

Not much progress has been made in
irrigating the arid lands of the West in
the past few years because of the low
prices received for agricultural products;
but there has been much study of the
subject and many plans for irrioating on
a large scale have been formulated This
year the general range of prices is high
enough to encourage men with enterprise
and capital to push forward some of the
schemes for reclaiming arid lands, and as
the era of extreme depression has come
to an end, there is no practical reason
to doubt that farming will be profitable
for some years to come. AS the prosper
ity of the farmer increases, the induce
ments for the investment of capital in
plans of irrigation will become greater,
and as lands thus improved are sure to
bring regular returns in the crops raised
upon them they will be rapidly occupied
by thrifty settlers, thereby adding much
to the general productiveness of the coun-
try AS there are millions Of acres OF arid
lands in the United States. the fertility
of many of the States aud Territories
west Of the Mississippi will be vastly in
creased by the annual additions to the
area of cultivated lands by irrigation on
n large scale.

WORRY VS.. LONGEVITY.

General Neal Dow, the father of tenn
perance in this country, who died few
days ago at the advanced age of nearly
81 years. attributed his long life to the
fact that he 'did not worry" 1t was
very creditable to his powers of self-con-
troll that he did not 'hy off tho handler
on any or all occasions, but maintained
placidty that was always the envy of
his friends; yet 1t is much to he doubted
il his days would have been shortened
had he been more irascible or given to
complaint about great and little things
People who are calmness itself often die
comparatively young; while others who
are in continual state of excitement and
worry live to n good old age In not
giving vent to our feelings we make it
much moro comfortable for those around
us, and all 'hould cultivate amiable
and accomplishing disposition; but it Is
mistake to suppose that this DISPOSE
ton per Sc contributes to longevity, I'm
less In its effects on others. The spark
of vitality that keeps the mind on edge
and the tongue in tireless motion Is Of
ten of the most durable character, and
many can call to MUD some kind hearted
person who had passed the biblical aye
of three score and ten, but who never
ceased to worry as long as the..mind was
responsive to those forbodings which
made them misery to themselves and
to their friends.
