The Division Of Time.

The division OF time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
sexagesimal system Of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is no number having SO many di-
visions as sixty. The BabylonianS di-
vided the daily journey Of the sun. the
ruler of the day. into twenty-four para
sangs. Each parasang CT hour. was
subdivided into sixty minutes, and that
again into sixty seconds. They COM
pared the progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time of the
equinox to the progress made by a
good walker in the same period Of
time, both covering one parasang, and
the course of the sun during the full
equinoctial day was fixed at twenty
four parasangs.

A Personal Appeal.

Ii we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of Foley
Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds
and lung trouble, you never could
be induced to experiment with un-
known preparations that may con-
tain some harmful drugs. Foley's
Honey and Tar costs you no more
and has record of forty years OF
cures.
Hoarse coughs and stuffy colds
that may develop into pneumonia
over night are quickly cured by
Foley's Honey and Tar as it soothes
infiamed membranes, heals the lungs
and expels the cold from the system.

GAMBLING SYSTEMS.
The Chances Are Always Vastly
Against the. Player.


Just word about systems Of gam
bling followed by various players.
Their name is ,legion-some plausible
some ridiculous, some based on elaD-
crate calculations. some giving won
derful results On paper. and all failing
wCefully at the tables
"After fifteen years Of experience at
Monte Carlo writes a newspaper cor
respondent, costing sum should De
ashamed to name, after thorough IN
vestigation of more than 400 different
systems and progressions. after hav-
ing employed q mathematician, can
say with certainty that it is absolutely
impossible for any system to win at
Monte Carlo. Sir Hiram Maxim is
wrong when he says the chances are
ten to one against the player. | say
they are a hundred to one against the
player"
This is rather an reinstatement, for
few players do win, by luck, not by
system, or by a system based on luck
as when a man backs the NUMBER OF
his hotel room or a woman backs her
age. Perhaps or 3 per cent OF the
players win occasionally, and the rest
lose, not only because of the banks
percentage and the restraining maxi
mum, but because this is a struggle
between a man and a machine-a man
with nerves and emotions, a machine
with no nerves and no emotions. Let
the system be ever so perfect, the gam
bier with strength of will to follow it
has not yet been born. If he had such
strength Of will, he would not be a
gambler.-Cleveland Moffett in Sue
cess Magazine.

From the Pioneer

From the Pioneer
What might have proved a serious
blaze at the Northern Hotel in this
city was narrowly averted last Sat
urday morning at an early hour.
The fire originated in the kitchen
and was caused by the neglect to
shut off the current from an electric
hat-iron thai was used the night be-
fore. The iron was placed on the
window sill and the heat gradually
burned the sill through and the iron
dropped through the floor with a
thud. The noise aroused the cook
and when she went to investigate
the cause she found the window
frame ablaze. The proprietor was
notified and extinguished the fl lmes.
The guests of the hotel were not
aroused and no alarm of fire was
turned in. The damage was but
slight.
Mark Hessey is having the hard

SCHOOL---NEWS
BY N. 6. Jones,

True worth is in being, not seeming-
IN doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
