A Time That Seems to Vary In the

A Time That Seems to Vary In the
Different States.
hi courts Of several states have
dealt with an odd question, none Of
them agreeing upon a similar answer.
When is it legally noon? Fire insur-
ance policies expire at noon, and the
word is admitted to mean exactly II
O'Clock midday. But standard time
has not been adopted in all communi-
ties. Many small towns cling to sun
time, which may be from a few min
utes to nearly an hour earlier than
standard. In one state a fire occurred
at two minutes past noon, sun time,
and the insurance company held that
the policy had expired before the fire.
Sun time is used in that town, but the
insured sued the company, holding that
local customs did not rule the policy
and hat he was entitled to his insur-
ance- The state courts sustained him.
In another state a similar contention
was taken to the courts and just the
opposite decision given. Several con
ficting presidents have been estab-
lished in state courts, and it is said
the question can only be decided for
good and all when a cas- has been
carried into the United States courts
and passed upon by the supreme court.

1t Need Not by Any Means Point to

The heart is perhaps the organ Of the
body least known by members Of the
medical profession, and many a man
who has been told he would Gle in q

pronounced his doom.
Heart disease il coming to inspire
less and less tie or in the average
man, and nine men in ten who are al
lotted ten years to live double that
time to die of an entirely foreign COM
plant.
"Some years back" says DR.. Warren
Schoonover, Jr., in the Medical Rec
ord, heart diseases were a cause Of
great worry and fright to the laity as
well as to the profession, but 10Y they
are handled sc successfully by the ply
sician that the patients live on under
proper therapeutics until the end of the
term Of their natural life without much
difficulty from the diseased organ. In
the practice Of one physician was a
case which vas under the care of his
grandfather from 1880 to 1850 his
uncle from 1856 to 1882 and b self
from 1882 to 1893, when the patient

clan for twenty-six years, the second
for t~wenty-six years and the third for
eleven years, a total period Of sixty

The Sunken Rock and the Legend Of
the Banished Snakes.
There Is an old legend to the effect
that st. Patrick banished all reptiles
from Ireland by beating a drum, but
no one probably seriously believes the
story. According to the myth, he took
his drum out for the purpose mention
ed and commenced pounding it SC Wig
orously that he knocked a hole in the
drumhead, thus seriously e~ndangering
the success of the miracle. While pom
dering what to do st. Patrick was as
tonished by the appearance Of an an
gel, who Immediately set to work to
mend the broken musical instrument.
After the hole had been mended the
angel vanished, and st. Patrick n
tinued the work of serpent b~anishing,
being successful in Kidding the island
of every representative Of the snake
tribe except one old slayer who had
lived SO long that his tusks protruded
from his mouth like horns. This mon
ster refused to leave the 'land of his
fathers" and the good saint resolved to
practice a little piece Of strategy. He
removed the patch which the angel had
put on the drumhead and then per-
suaded the serpent to creep into the
drum for the night. When the reptile
had done as requested, st. Patrick
glued down the magic patch and then
threw drum, serpent and all into the
sea. A sunken bowlder off the west
coast of Ireland is called st. Patrick's
