What Is n DayY

Nine persons out of 10-yes, e99 out
Of every 1,000-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its axis
would answer "a hours, and to the
question, How many times does it turn
on its axis in the course of the year
the answer would be 1854 times Both
answers are wrong.
1t requires but 20 hours and So min
utes for the earth to make one complete
turn, and it makes 3664 turns during
the year The error springs from q
wrong idea of what is meant by day
The day is not. as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say. the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now. in consequence of the earth q
revolution in its orbit or path round
the sun. the sun has the appearance Of
moving very slowly in the heavens in a
direction from east to west At noon
tomorrow the sun will be short dis
tance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day. so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.

Chief Thompson had very imperfect
descr; ption OF the fellow but got his eye
on Hill when he fist entered the cal

and then placed him under arrest ant

ing the Canal street receptacle, Hill con
fessed all. He was taken to Keene earl,
Thursday morning by City Marshall Col

fact is, swarm of these caterpillars swept

No Poached Eggs For Her.


There is an old lady in a charming

of "artist chaps and "Lunnon ways"
are amusing.

of the brush secured nights lodging
at her cottage
Early next morning he was asked
what he would like for breakfast.
"Oh, was the reply, "a couple Of
eggs will do-poached, mind you"
"Beg pardon, sir

In the county of Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the affec-
ton of her children and husband, and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in
stinct, but two rniscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:
