Properly Censored,

"When Maxim Gorky dined with
me-" said literary New Yorker, "he
talked about the Russian censorship.
"He said that in the course of the
Russo-Japanese war he had occasion in
an article to describe the headquarters
of one Of the grand dukes. He wrote
of these headquarters, among other
things:
And over the desk Of his highness's s
tent is a large photograph of Marie la
Jambe, the beautiful ballet dancer
Before this article could appear, the
censor changed that sentence to:
"'And over the desk of his highnesss
tent is large map of the theater OF
war;"

Getting His Measure.

Aunt Filura was preparing soup for
dinner, when one Of the neighbors hap
pened in on a borrowing errand.
"Why, Aunt Filura, isn't that an un-
usually large soup-kettle?" asked the
caller, with/a calculating glance at the
stove on her passage across the kitchen.
"If you're just looking at the kittle,
1t does seem plumb slzable," said Aunt
Filura, calmly; ''but when you cast
your looks on the extents and pliabili-
ty Of my Enoch's mouth, reckon
'twon't look any too large, that kittle

A geologist who is well up In his

Hubelite is one Of the best known rep

Trx1Na STANDARD OF TIME.


How Nations Suit the Convenience
of the Travelling Public.
The whole German empire has uni
form time, adopted April 1, 1898, the
central European time, so called, which
Is exactly one hour faster than the
time Of the Greenwich meridian. The
same standard Is in use In Austria,
Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden-that is, in all the
countries which are traversed some
where near their center from east to
west by the fifteenth meridian east Of
Greenwich.
The West European time is the time
OF the Greenwich meridian and Is used
In England, Holland, Belgium, Lum-
embourg and Spain. France out of ma
tional vanity holds to the time of Paris
both for herself and for her colonies
In Algiers and Tunis, although this
time Is only nine minutes faster than
Greenwich time. 1t is a peculiar cir
cumstance that the French, who are
called behind the times" In many
things, should persist so obstinately In
being few minutes ahead of the En-
glish on the clock. The East European
time is the same as the time of st. Pc
tersburg, which is two hours, one min
ute and thirteen seconds faster than
Greenwich time. This standard Is used
In European Russia, Turkey in Europe,
Roumania and Burgaria.
In Cape Colony the railway standard
time Is an hour and half faster than
Greenwich time, in Japan nine hours
faster
Australia has four different stand
ards-East Australia, eight hours fast
er than Greenwich; South Australia,
nine hours; Victoria, Queensland and
Tasmania, ten hours, and New Zealand,
eleven and one-half hours.
The division Of the day into twenty
four hours (from one midnight to an
other) has been officially established in
Italy, Belgium, Canada and British In
dia. At present, however, only for use
In railway and telegraphic communica-
tion.
In the United States the railroad
time is divided into four zones, called
eastern, central, mountain and Pacific.
which, reckoned from east to west, are
exactly five. six, seven and eight hours
slower than Greenwich time. These
standards have also been officially
adopted in Canada.
The necessity of adopting uniform
standard Of time with which the local
time of all places may be compared had
been felt for many years in the United
States and became urgent with the In
crease Of facilities for communication.
The differences of local time arise from
the use Of solar motion as a time meas
urer.
We call the time noon when the sun
Is opposite the meridian Of the place
where we are living, and, as a conse-
quence Of the suns apparent motion
from east to west the more easterly of
two places will have the earlier time.
the difference In hours being exactly
one-fifteenth Of the longitudinal differ
ence in degrees. In other words, Is de-
sxees of longitude correspond to time
difference of exactly one hour, as there
are 800 degrees in the earth's circum-
ference, which divided by twenty-four
hours gives Is degrees to an hour

 T had been exceedingly nervous. thin and very sallow. After quitting coffee and drinking Postum Food Cof- fee about month my nervousness disappeared and has never returned. This is the more remarkable as I am Primary teacher and have kept right on with my work.
 My complexion now is clear and rosy, my skin soft and smooth As a good complexion was something I had greatly desired. feel amply repaid even tho this were the only benefit derived from drinking Postum.
 Before beginning it's use I had suffered greatly from indigestion and headache; these troubles are now un. known.
 Best of all I changed from coffee to Postum without the slightest incon. venience, did not even have a head. ache. Have known coffee drinkers who were visiting me, to use Postum week without being aware that they were not drinking coffee.
 T have known several to begin the use of Postum and drop it because they did not boil it properly. After explaining how it should be prepared they have tried it again and pro. nounced it delicious"

General Demand

of the Well-Infprmed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufaetured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
