The sum Is Seldom ON mime.

The sun Is Seldom on Time.
The sun does not keep good time. He
is almost always too fast or too slow.
Once about the middle of April he is
just on time, then not again before the
middle Of June. at the beginning Of
September he joins the clock third
time, and lastly once more late in De-
cember. Now, it would seem as if he
were startled at the way he had neg
lected u.s. In February he fell back I'M
til he was fifteen minutes late. BY the
beginning Of March he had made up
five minutes of his loss, and before the
month is over he will have caught up
to within five minutes of the schedule
Meanwhile the days have been growing
longer very rapidly. We begin March
with our nights longer than our days.
We end it with our days longer than
our nights. In the one month we have
added to the length of our day an hour
and twenty minutes, bigger gain than
any other month can show.-Professor

Skull BOrers.

A remarkable application of Biblical
precept is still to be found among the
Serbs, who do not all live in Servia, but
are also scattered over Turkey, Monte
negro, Bosnia and southern Hungary.
They are very quarrelsome, and the
vendetta nourishes among them. 1t
follows that bullet holes i'll the skull
are by no means uncommon.
Now, according to the unwritten law
man who has made a hole in anoth-
er's head must submit to having his
own head perforated in like manner,
unless he prefers to pay about $500
damages which is seldom the case. So
there has arisen among the Serbs Pc
culiar profession, that of the "medigs,'
or trepanners, who for a moderate fee
will bore hole in your skull and guar
antee the wound to heal in two weeks.

THE MEXICAN EDITOR.
It Is Very Easy For Him to Get Into
SeriOGs Trouble,

1t Is Very Easy For Him to Get Into
SerioGs Trouble.
The newspaper laws of Mexico are
very stringent. If any person is men
toned in newspaper article and feels
offended about it, lie can easily send
the editor of the paper and the writer
of the article to prison. The state
ments may have been far within the
limits of truth and justice, but that
makes no difference The editor in
communicate has chance to think
about the law, and the aggrieved per-
son smiles pleasantly. After awhile
the law gets in it's work. the case is in
vestigated. and the editor is punished,
for even the truth is libelous, and libel
is one of the offenses most severely
condemned.
According to the theory of the Mexi-
can law, every person has right to go
about entirely free from annoyance by
other persons. IT the person violates
the law, the newspaper has no right to
say so. 1t can lay information before
the courts if it wants to, but it must
not say in its columns that it has done
SO. Then the law will step in sud take
charge of the offender, but the repre-
sentatives of the paper will not be al
lowed to attend the trial, and only the
bare result, after weeks of waiting,
can be told to the public.
If the offense charged against the ed
itor is regarded by the first magistrate
to whom the complaint is made as be-
ing especially grave, the paper is gen.
orally suppressed. The complaint has
been received and passed upon. Then
squad of police descends upon the
printing Office. Sometimes all the en-
ployees are arrested, sometimes only
the editor. Then the doors of the
building are closed, official seals are
placed upon them, and a guard is sta
toned to see that no one tries to en-
ter. For three days the editor can do
nothing. The laws under which he is
| arrested are modelled after those of the
code Napoleon, and for three days he
| is held incommunicado, while the au-
| thorities hunt up evidence. Then he
| is given a hearing. In the meantime
his paper has been suppressed, and in
many cases it never comes to life again,
even though the editor may eventually
| clear himself of all blame.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.
