Different Kinds of Days.

Five kinds of days are recognized. and it has been said that the word day" has no real meaning without an adjective defining what kind of day is meant, says the London Tit Bits. There is a civil day, the astronomical day, the apparent solar day, the mean solar day and the sidereal day. The civil day begins at the midnight pre- ceding mean moon, and consists of twenty-four hours counted after 12 o'clock; the astronomical day begins twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean noon of the corresponding civil day. These hours are reckoned from cipher to twenty-four. It will be seen, therefore, that while ten hours twelve minutes, Jan. 1, astronomical time is also ten hours twelve minutes, Jan. 1, civil time, yet twenty hours twelve minutes, Jan. 1, astronomical time is also ten hours twelve min utes' a. m., Jan. 2, civil time. There are many anomalies growing out of this use of the civil day, and there are many arguments in favor of using the astronomical day. It is one of the reforms which undoubtedly will come some time.

Care of the Hair,

"Women make a mistake when they go on the theory that the frequent shampoo is detrimental to the hair says a writer in the Washington Post, quoting a hairdresser. In fact, some such advice has appeared in print from time to time, but the theory is absurd. since above all the hair must be clean to be glossy. Then one should take the trouble vigorously to brush the hair each night before retiring But the same brush should never be used twice without cleansing. Since it is necessary to have more than one brush. it is well to have them vary, short and long bristles, as this aids in ridding the scalp of that loose, fine dandrufI so ugly to see scattered through the hair. In brushing the hair the strokes should be firm and long. Violent, spas. modic brushing is not only irritating to the scalp, but disastrous to the hair as well.

Sinking of the Variag.

A letter from Chemulpo to the Lon- don Standard gives some interesting details of incidents preceding the de- struction of the Variag and the Kori- etz on Feb. Q. It appears that when Russian transport was sunk in Fusan harbor on Feb. 6, the first overt act of war, the Japanese minister in Seoul heard of it the same day, but no word reached M. Pavloff, the Russian minister. The Japanese authorities instantly sent word to the captain of a little Japanese gunboat lying in Chemulpo harbor under the guns Of the Variag, but his orders compelled him to remain where he was and he expected almost hourly to be blown out of the water. He lid not dare to move for fear of exciting suspicion.
 Finally, on the night of the 1th, he slipped his cable and drifted down to a position between the British cruiser Talbot and the United States cruiser Nicksburg, thinking the Russians would not dare to take the risk of hit ting either of them. But the Variag made no sign. having received no hint of what was going on. On the Sth the Japanese gunboat received orders to leave port under cover of darkness and join the fleet of Admiral Uriu out side. This she did. It was her disap- pearance that first awakened the cap
 
 tain of the NariaG to perception or his cruel dilemma. Then came the J--s' anese ultimatum compelling him to leave the port. He stiH had chance Of escape, for the Nariag was very much faster than any of the Japanese warships but he foolishly determined 70 handicap himself by towing the slow little tub Korietz, instead of talk ing her crew on board and scuttling her. Unable to avail himself of the ships speed, he was, of course, help less, and went out to certain destrdc. tion as all the world knows.

EuroDe's Oldest Hotel.

The Gcldenes Kreuz Golden Cross) at Regensburg Ratisbon), in Bavaria, is the oldest hotel in Europe. King Ferdinand l. halted at it on his way to his coronation in 1531, and no other hotel in Europe possesses records of such great antiquity as the Golden Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast of having had so many royal visitors as have enjoyed it's hospitality. The ex- isting visitors books, which date from 1919, contain the names of more than 800 imperial, royal and princely per sonages. The room is shown where, in 1865, the late Prince Bismarck, at that time Prussian minister, slept when he came with his sovereign to hold tlo conference which was the last attemp. to prevent war between Austria and Prussia. The negotiations were held in the "small hall" of the hotel, under the presidency of King William of Prussia.
 The host is equally proud of the au' tographs of Schiller and other men of letters which he possesses. The author of "William Tell" wrote the words, "Und cine Heimath ist es' (Jt is in- deed home'). in memory of his stay there and no landlord could wish for a better adv. rtisement.

Deep Gold Mines.

The deepest gold mine is still to be credited to Bendigo, in Victoria, Aus tralia, although the time is coming when the Rand, South Africa, will claim the record. For the present the Victoria quartz mine, at Bendigo, has probed deeper into the earth than any other digging after gold; work is now going on in this mine at 3,950 feet, a winze having been sunk 250 feet be- low the lowest level, at 3,700 feet. Among it's neighbors the Victoria quartz mine has the New Chum Rail way, with work proceeding at 3,S5G feet, and the New Chum consolidated 3,Sl5 feet. The celebrated "1S0" mine, the property of Geo. Lansell and long the deepest gold mine in the world, is being exploited at 3,250 feet, although the shaft itself is POO feet deeper-- Engineering and Mining Journal.

 The dog belonged to q farmer named Angelin Descombes, at the village os Chatuzandes. The eagle sWooped down on the dog to carry it off, but the ani- mal on feeling the birds claws in his back, turned sharply and bit the eagles claws.

isasis or American Prosperity.

Between the two oceans we raise one-fifth of the worlds wheat four ffths of its corn, one-fourth of it's oats and four-ifths of it's cotton This harvest is the foundation of our pros- perity. Agriculture this year will add about $4,000,000,0OO to the country's wealth, and foreign customers will pay us not far from $90O,O0O,000 for our agricultural products, shipped to them over the sea. All the gold in America the greatest hoard of the yellow metal ever gathered in any country could not buy one years harvest of our corn and wheat. To buy one seasons wheat crop would take all the gold mined in this country in six years. In the past seven years all the gold minas have only produced enough to buy one years yield of our six leading cereals.
