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
imal division Of time, he pointed cut
the origin Of the double set of twelve
hours represented On Our watch and
. clock faces. The ancient inhabitants
of Mesopotamia chose the number IL
as an arithmetical base because it has
four divisors-viz, 2, 3. 4 and 6, while
10 has only two diyisors-viz, 2 and s.
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 tn
US, and so our watches bear on their
faces souvenir Of those ancient days
when the sun served for a clock hand
half Of the time and the stars the other
half.

Ing at the possibility of ministerial

should have properties which in

the quantity will have to be

ties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills
because it's ingredients are of
the purest herbal extracts, and
every pill is kept for three years
before being sold, which allows
them to mellow. We do not be-
lieve there is a laxative on the
