TWENTY-FOUR O'CLOCK.
A housekeeping system That Il
strongly Urged by the
Railroads.

According to a decree recently issued
in Spain the hours will be there
counted. after January /, from one to
twenty-four each day, beginning at
midnight. The government offices, the
telegraph, telephone, railroad and
steamship lines have been directed TO
observe the new method. On this con-
tinent il may already be seen in the
timetables of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, says the Youths Companion.
This change has long been urged
in this country. Some years go, when
the railroads brought about the pres
ent system of STANDARD time" or, as
It used to be called, railroad time"
they desired TO inaugurate the pa
hour scheme, too. The change was too
radical TO be popular, and rather than
imperil the success of the other part
of the programme, the railroads aban-
doned it. Timetables are now usual
" printed with the afternoon hours
in heavy type, and morning hours in
light, and this device eliminates much
confusion.
If one had nothing 10 do but TO trav-
el by rail and study timetables, the
proposed change would be eminently
desirable; but for 90 Of every 100 acts
and appointments outside of those
connected with the railroads. there is
no confusion arising from the present
system. When we read that lecture
is to begin at eight o'clock, no one
thinks it is to begin in the morning;
and if Mary Minis should write to
say that She will drive over at II
o'clock. almost anyone would expect
To see her in the forenoon, even If she
did not add "a. m"
In astronomical observatories the
24-hour system is already in use, ex-
cept that in them the day begins at
noon instead Of midnight

UNFAIR TO BANGOR.
The Revenge of Maine Marketmen
Who Were Prevented from
Shipping Game.
" town in Maine OF 1000

Almost every town in Maine or 900
or more inhabitants has from one 20
ten markets where venison is retailed
all through the open season. Here in
the very heart of the game region,
where from Is 10 80 tons of venison pass
west every day in the week, no man can
buy venison at any price, and men who
want the meat of deer must ride far out
on the road to Amherst or Ellsworth
and run the chance of meeting a hunter
who is bringing a carcass TO market,
says the New York Sun.
The famine came about through a
fit Of temper Of the marketmen, who
are angry because the new law will
not permit them to ship game and game
birds out of the state. Previous TO 1898
from 100 to $50 partridges were sent
west from Bangor every day. Market
men had from ten to twenty gunners
constantly in their employ shooting
cartridges, snipe and woodcock for
Boston and New York markets, where
birds commanded fancy prices. AS
soon as the law prohibiting the sale of
game birds was enacted, the market
men agreed TO handle no game Of any
kind, and the embargo has been rigid
~ enforced.
Last year Fred Johnson, who is the
De.monico OF Bangor, took out a
license TO sell venison TO such of his
customers as wanted deermeat on
their tables at home, but the market
men refused 10 patronize his place.
and did all they could 70 injure his
trade. This year he found that they
were doing him more harm than the
profits on sales were doing good. and
when it came TO take out licenses for
1900 he did not ask for renewal.
VI antime Portland. Augusta. Rock
land and other Maine cities that have
no deer within 30 miles Of their limits,
are having all the deer meat they can
eat. and are getting il cheaper than the
price asked for beef

LIVES IN WIFE'S TOMB.
Brooklyn Man Who Had Resided
with a Corpse for the LAST
Five Years.

In Evergreen cemetery in brooklyn
Jonathan Reed has lived for five years
in the tomb where the body of his dead
wife lies in a last sleep. Never for one
LAY since his wife died in 1855 has ne
left the body alone, and when his time
shall come there is receptacle for his
dead body close TO that of his wiie's,
whom he loved so long and so well.
says the Chicago Tribune.
Five years ago Reed looked on while
the light went out of his wife's eyes.
She was conscious to the last. As she
lay with her dying eyes fixed on him he
was moved to u solemn promise that so
long as he lived he would keep watch
over her form.
Her answer was a faint. peaceful
smile said the husband. land you
will see that | have kept my promise"
To do so, Mr.. Reed, who was a well TO
do drayman in the northern part of the
state, sold his business. lie had tomb
built of red granite and made comfort
