imaginary moon created for ecclesi-
astical convenience which happens on

Good Friday.
Next to Easter Sunday, Good Friday
Is the most prominent day of Holy
Week. Good Friday is the usual Eng
lish name for the day observed
throughout Christendom as the ami
versary of the passion and death of
Christ.
The origin of the custom of the
yearly cOmnemOratiOn of the cruci-
fixion is involved In some obscurity,
but from the earliest period the day
has been marked by special rigorous
fasts, and also, on the whole, by a
tendency to greater simplicity in the
public services Of the church.

A movement has been started in
Ohio to boom Judson Harmon OF Gin
cinnati for the presidency on the Dem
ocratic ticket to oppose Bryan. Those
behind the movement claim that Bry-

many Democrats to desert him. MI.

History ON a watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer Houzeau was an article in
which, while arguing in favor of a dec
eimal division Of time, he pointed out
the origin of the double set Of twelve
hours represented on our watch and
clock faces. The ancient inhabitants
Of Mesopotamia chose the number II
as an arithmetical base because it has
four divisors-viz, 2, 3. 4 and 6. while
10 has only two diyisors-viz, and 5.
They counted twelve hours in the day
and twelve in the night. measuring the
day by the progress Of the sun and the
night by the progress Of the stars
across the sky. This system, prevail
ing over all others, has come down to
us, and so our watches bear on their
faces a souvenir Of those ancient days
when the sun served for clock hand
half Of the time and the stars the other
half. ~

why Rain Clouds Are Black.

The color Of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
1t and the position of the observer. II
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color, and this
Is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops Of moisture
which go to form the cloud. Heavy
rain clouds, on the other hand, are
found much nearer the earth, and So
the light falls on them more directly
from above, giving silver lining to the
cloud, though the undersurface ap-
pears black owing to the complete re.
Election and absorption Of the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in balloon, the blacklist
rain clouds appear Of the most dazzling.

Peculiar1t1es OF Napoleon.

Napoleon's father was topper, man
utterly lacking in moral sensibility,
and his sisters were immo6est and hys-
terical. According to Dr.; Cabanas.
Pauline was particularly SO. Napoleon
himself was exceedingly sensitive to
atmospheric changes, was headachey
and had auditory illusions. He had
twitchings of the arms, the shoulders
and the lips. He was at times the
most. irritable of men, often being I'M
approacbable. His mania for destruc.
ton was, such that he Whitfield pieces

His pulse ranged ordinarily between.
thirty and thirty-fve beats a minute
and never went above ffty-ave. The

When Dogs Were Cooks.

"There was time,' said the anti

for US at least they kept the meat
turning SO it would not burn. Spit
dogs they were called, and we call
their descendants 'spitz' to this day.
Spit dogs were trained to turn the
splits on which roasted chickens, beef,
ducks and turkeys. The little fellows
did their work well. They were never
known to let fowl burn or to snatch
mouthful or two from it. AS late as
1916 spit dogs were employed in the
old Philadelphia inns on Second and

the history of New England as King
Philip, was the youngest son of Chief
Massasoit. His Indian name was Pc.

to the English colonists, who gave him
the name Of Philip. His warfare upon
the settlers some fifty years after the
