One: of the Family.

It may interest some OF our readers
to glance through this short character
istic sketch Of James Seymour, born
in London in 1902, which is more
strongly impressive than many longer
memoirs. The fact that he displayed
a fcndness for drawing and painting
in bcyhood, and subsequently gained
celebrity by his skill in designing
horses is too we'll known to comment
upon. Once the proud Duke Of Somer-
set employed Seymour to paint room
at his seat in Sussex with the por-
traits of his running horses. Having
admitted the artist to his table, he one
day drank to him, saying:
Cousin Seymour, your health"
The painter replied: my lord. I
really believe that I have the honor
of being of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however.
that no one in England could complete
the pictures begun, he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sponded to the message in these
words:
my lord. will now prove that I
am of your grace's family, for won't
:ome.''

HlstOry on q Watch rraca.

Almost the last work of the BELGIAN
astronomer, Houzeau, recently de-
ceased, was an article in which, while
arguing in favor of a decimal division
OF time, he pointed out the origin Of
the double set of twelve hours repre-
sented on our watch and clock faces.
The ancient inhabitants of Mesopo-
tamia chose the number twelve as an
arithmetical base because it has four
dlvisors, viz: two, three, four and six.
while ten has only two divisors. VIZ:
two and five. They counted twelve
hours in the day and twelve in the
night, measuring the day by the prog
ress of the sun, and the night by tho
progress of the stars across the sky.
This system, prevailing over all 9TH
ers, has come down to us, and so our
watches bear on their faces a souvenir
of those ancient days when the SIM
served for a clock-hand half of the
time, and the stars the other half.

MONKS ROASTED ALIVE.
Horrible Barbnrity Alleged to Have
Been Practiced by Philippine
Island Rebels.

Vancouver. B. c., June S.-Further inter-
views with officers of the steamer Hupeh,
now in port, elicit the fact that twenty
five Catholic monks were roasted by the
rebels in the Philippine islands, and not
by Spanish troops. as previously reported.
The information was furnished by prom
inent resident of Ilo-IlO, in the group OF
islands, and corrOborated by a foreign
consul In consequence of cruelties prac-
ticed by the Spanish troops on the rebels
or those suspected of being in sympathy
with the rebel cause, the rebels, in re-
venge. perpetrated acts of cruelty on the
haplcss monks who came in their clutches.
The customary mode OF roasting sucking
pigs in the island Is by thrusting bam-
boo through the pigs and then fastening
it to an iron and roasting it over n slow
fire. This was done to the monks, the
bamboo being thrust through them while
they were alive.
