HOW ANcIENTs KEPT TIME.
Why Greek Boys Were Good In the
Summer.

Before an audience of London chill
dren a scientist delivered a lecture
the other day on the methods of mea-
surfing time as employed by the an
clients.
The lecturer began with the Chal-
deans. who, like the Chinese, observ-
ed the movements Of the moon and
stars, and believed that an eclipse
was due TIC the devouring Of the
moon by dragon.
Then the lecturer came to the
Egyptians, who erected obelisks to
serve as the gnomons or pointers of
sun-dials.
To the delight of the juvenile audi
ence the lecture room was darkened
and the sun Gan electric glow lamp
was manipulated at the end of fish
ing rod to make a model obelisk cast
the shadow.
The Greeks, always artistic, placed
a buoyant figure of magician in a
long glass jar, and water dripped in,
and as the figure rose it pointed to the
hour on a marked dial.
The system which the Greeks fol-
lowed of dividing the day into twelve
equal "hours" from the rising to the
setting of the sun was irregular. 1t
behooved the Greek schoolboy to be
good in summer and work off his SUI
perfuous boyishness in winter, be-
cause an hours imposition" in sum-
mer was twenty minutes longer than
in winter.
A description Of the hour-glass led
to the exhibition of a new adaptation
of it.
A breakfast egg was suspended
from the beam Of pair Of scales, and
dipped into a saucepan of boiling wa
ter. The sand from an hour-glass
trickled into the scale which hung
from the other end Of the beam until
the egg was cooked.
Then the weight of the sand lifted
the egg out of the saucepan and rang
an electric bell.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

Severe
Weather

February is month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above WlntTy
ATTITUDES, February brings sudden changes
of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops % degrees in
a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole OF North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well ven
tilated, but SO as to avoid direct currents
OF air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast Those in feeble health
should take a brisk dry-towe-rub every
morning
Diet.
The diet should be generous one, in
Guiding meat, and occasionally fresh vege-
tables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
should be let into the house during the
day.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
-9'tt-nG.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
PTeeGWtiOn.
When seized with chill, or even slight
chilliness, a dose of Peruna should be
taken at once.

Reckoning him into his private
room, the street car magnate opened

leather deliberately bordered with
gold and having a sparkling diamond
Embedded in the centre.
What is that?" asked the visitor.
THAT, sir, replied the magnate, is
what is left of a strap that was in CON
slant service in one of our cars for
fourteen years. According to close
estimate my income from that strap

4Pediqree" of "Foo."

If any Londoner crawling up to
business by train or tram through the
fog turned his idle mind to wonder
ing why it was called "fog," he would
probably decide that it could not have
been called anything else. "Fog" is
its obvious name. Yet there is much
speculation among phiIologists on
this point. DR.. Murray's Dictionary
suggests an interesting pedigree. AS
far back as the fourteenth century
fog" meant aftergrass, the rank grass
that sprang up after hay harvest or
grew in the winter while IN the north
it meant moss. Then "foggy' came to
mean Doggy; next it was used to
mean bloated or puffy, of the flesh Of
men or animals, and, finally, as ap-
piled to ale or air, it meant thick,
and our modern fog was derived back
from this "foggy." skeat, however,
goes straight to the Danish fog" as
in "snee fog" a snowstorm, from
"fyge," to drift The worst Of Lon
don fogs is that they do not drift fast
enough.-London Chronicle.

The Case Of Mrs. Mary M. Rogers.

Z Governor Bell, of Vermont, has granted
reprieye in the case of Mrs. Mary
Belle Rogers, who was sentenced to be
hanged at Windsor last Friday for the
murder of her husband, Marcus Rogers,
until June 2. The announcement came
as a surprise, as the Governor had issued
a statement which indicated that he had
decided not to grant the desired reprieve.
That the poisoned powder sent from
Boston to Mrs. Rogers, in Windsor State
prison, did not enable her to cheat the
gallows by suicide, was due solely to the
honesty of one of the prison officers.
This officer received letter containing
the powder, money and directions for
smuggling the drug to Mrs. Rogers. He
Immediately turned all over to tho super
intendent of the prison, who forwarded
the poison to the Boston post Office in
pectors. Mrs. Rogers was sentenced to
be hanged last Friday for the murder Of
her husband.
