Tbe Ancient Hour.

The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, GUS
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from B. G. 293, when a SUM-
dial was erected in the temple of Quiri-
nus at Rome. Previous to the invention
of water clocks, B. G. 1853, the time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one expedient OF meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning an hour. The first per-
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. D. 1850. Day began al
sunrise among most Of the northern ma
lions, at sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, at midnight among the Ro
mans, as with us.

AMERICAN SOCIETY.
ITS Basis, Whether We Depiore u
Ignore 1t, IL Wealth.

American society" says Ainslee'A
"has been definitely established upon
a monetary basis. We may deplore the
fact or we may ignore 1t, but 1t Is a
fact and it is very much the wisest
thing to admit 1t with dispassionate
frankness. For if we assume our social
standards and conditions to be diher-
ent from what they really are, how
are we going to study them and under
stand them and get at their phlloso-
phyf From the point Of view OF a SCI
entific observer, the classification OF
everybody and everything according TO
a financial principle Of division, Is a
good thing, for it greatly simpllnes
the whole subject
"Formerly there was no classification
OF any kind. American life was a
chaos, socially, full of all sorts OF
anomalies and incongruities. Every
section Of the country had its own
standard Of distinction, and this stand
ard was recognized and respected no
where else. Thus in New England lit
erary. scholastic or theological emf
nence was held to confer a certain
cachet upon those who had obtained 1t.
In the microcosm of which Philadel'
phia used to be the center ancestry
counted most Of all. This was also true
TO some extent Of the south, yet there
as in the west, political prominence
carried with it social leadership. New
York-always more or less Impossible
to formulate-was place where there
existed social wheels within wheels
and social planes that never touched
though, on the whole, perhaps the com
bination Of ancestry and money meant
In those days what money alone means
at the present time"

No Man Should Spend the whole OF
His Income.
u any one too poor to- save? is an inn
pQtant problem which the readers of
a London daily are at present attempt
Ing to solve. The question Is not by
any means 4 new one. 1t Is one which
hsa troubled past generations. just as,
fa all probability, 1t will affect the gen
erations yet to come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion Of the sub.
ject is throwing much, IL any, fresh
light upon it.
In the first place. there Is a diversity
Of opinion regarding the term poor. "
One man, who derives an income Cf
$3.50 a year from private property,
fancies he comes under the category.
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 Il
year. says q writer In Leslies Weekly.
1t is manifeStly impossible to fix any
limit in 4 matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con
ditions and surroundings Of the indi
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family a
comfortable home, excellent social ad-
vantages and good living in coun-
try village would mean many priva-
lions and sore discomforts In any large
city.
On the whole, however, we are In
ciined TO believe that Max O'Relrs
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
Il do not care" he says, "how small
the income Of man is, he should never
spend the whole of it, especially if he
has a wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man is worthy of the name who does
not do this, at least, at the price Of
whatever privations he has to submit
to- Some pleasure may be derived.

Chnnae of Air.

The quasi miraculous benefits which
are associated with change of air In the
popular belief are In reality derived
when they accrue from change of en-
vironment. qua change of habits OF
life. In a great many instances the
measure-of benefit obtainable would be
as effectually secured, and at much
less expense, by mere change of habits,
without the fatigue and Inconvenience
of change OF domicile. The over

On the ceiling OF one of the rooms In
Sans Souci. the world renowned palace
of Frederick the Great in Prussia, IL
the painting Of a huge spider with its
web The reason for this odd decora-
ton is that one morning just as the
king was about to drink his usual
morning cup OF chocolate in this room
he turned aside for something. and
when, a moment later, he took up the
cup he noticed a small spider had
fallen into 1t. Immediately upon CIV
ing an order for fresh cup pistol
report was heard, and 1t was discov-
cred that the cook had shot himself
The reason for this, 1t was later found
out, was that he had poisoned the
chocolate, and of course when a fresh
cup was ordered he supposed his
treachery had been discovered. 1t was
I'm remembrance Of this narrow escape
that Frederick ortlered a spiders web
to be painted on the ceiling.

why He wept.

Helen had been only a few days In
the house where Walter was the seven
year-old son and heir when 1t was per-
fectly clear that she had made a deep
impression on his already susceptible
heart. One afternoon he brought a
footstool and, placing 1t in front Of
her, asked her If she would marry him.
Helen was little more than four
times as old as Walter, and her un-
married state was n matter of keen in
terest to her friends. She looked at the
boy gravely for n moment and then
said:
why, l can't answer that question
offhand, Walter. You will have to wait
and give me time to think II over"
Suddenly the boy dropped his head
on her knee and began to cry bitterly.
What is the matter, Walter?' she
asked, patting his head.
81 was just thinking" he sobbed out,
that you'd be dead and gone before I
was old enough to marry you."-New
