Thanks to the thoughtfulness

Saturday night, the Main street

pearance Sunday-with the ex-
ception of one section only,
however-the space in front of

sion, "Tell the truth and shame
the devil" is particularly appli-
cable in this case, for it was due
to a lapse of memory on the
part of the "devil" that the front
of this office was conspicuous for
its dirt Sunday morning. The
fact that The News was in a rep
rehensible class all to itself, was
first called to our attention on
Sabbath morn by that handsome
and gentlemanly young Syrian
merchant in the same block, Mr..
s. Daghir, who makes it point

sistently breaches street clean
liness. Well try to do better

They Are Even More Knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.
Everybody knows that all mules
arc brainy, but the mules Of old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
sort Of prescience of their own" said
a man who has spent many years IN
the re;ghboring republic. "a Mexican
mule will do just so much work and
not 4 blamed bit more.
The riding mule, for instance, IS
fully aware of the distance, down to
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks or
goads OF dynamite Oh earth Won't get
him to do bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got peculiar saying IN
connection with this Characteristic of
the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex
lean. for instance, how far it IS by
mule back to such and such q point.
Two days Journey if you are not
rushed, but three days If you are In a
hurry the Mexican will reply.
"His meaning IS that If you don't
ask more of your mule than you should
ask Of him. the mule will be able to
make the trip in two days. But if you

The Deceased Wife's Sister

The law against marrying deceased
wife's sister, which caused 50 much
discussion in England, grew out Of
the ancient tribal law foSbid@iag fa-
ther to sell moro than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 81 shillinss Of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or Kill
her if she would not so. AS civil law
it was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter-
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme misreading OF some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister Of a mans wife among the pro-
hibited degrees Of relationship. This
was the act Of 1541 (32 Henry V1ID:
"a man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin."-London

4 DISPLAY OF QUICK WIT.
The American Saved His Pride and
Observed Russian Etiquette.

The American Saved His Pride and
Observed Russian Etiquette.
The Yankee and the Russian story is
again on its grand rounds, but as all
attempts to name the original Yankee
have failed, says London N. 4. P,
1t Is safe to pin the anecdote to any
prominent American who may have
visited st. Petersburg.
The Russian has been identified as
the Grand Duke Constantine, younger
brother Of the Czar Alexander l., and
the incident occurred about 1910.
The Yankee went out for a walk in
March. when the snow was melting
after sudden rain. The street was
maze of puddles, divided into sections
bv narrow lodges of snow at the cross
ings, over which pedestrians carefully
felt their way.
The Yankee was just In the middle
of such a snow bridge when he recog-
nized the Grand Duke Constantine ap-
preaching in the opposite direction.
The path being too narrow for two
persons to pass, the grand duke being
accustomed to every one getting out OF
his way. the Yankee being too courte-
Gus to turn his back on brother Of
the car to return whence he came
and too proud to step servilely into the
slush for a mere prince Of the royal
blood-such was the contretemps.
Ouick rs q flash our American
whipped out his purse, presented 1t TO
Constantine and asked, Even or oddt'
Even" replied the astonished
prince.

stepped of into a puddle half leg
deep.
Constantine, highly pleased by this
peculiarly American proceeding, men
toned it to the cZar, and our Yankee
was invited to dine at the palace next

OUR TIME STANDARDS.
Tho Four Sections That Divide tho
United States.

Every nation has its own time stand
ard, but the United States has four.
These time sections, rs they are called,
were introduced in the year 1888,
chiefly for the benefit Of the railroads,
and are known as the eastern, central,
mountain and Pacific. The eastern
section extends from the Atlantic coast
to an irregular line drawn from De-
troit to Charleston, S. c.; the central
includes all between this line and an
other extending from Bismarck, \. D.,
to the mouth of the Rio Grande river;
the mountain extends from here to the
western boundary Of Montana, Idaho,
Utah and Arizona, and the lE9ific in
cludes all the remainder Of ehe coun-
try to the Pacific coast.
The difference In time between ad.
Joining sections is one hour, so that
when it is p o'clock in New York city
It Is II o'clock at Chicago, 10 o'clock at
Denver and 0 o'clock at San Francisco.
The true local time of any place is
slower or faster than the standard
time, according as the place is west
or east Of the time meridian. Thus the
local time at Boston is sixteen minutes
faster than eastern standard time
while at Buffalo it is sixteen minutes
slower.-Rarper's Weekly.

ODD USES FOR FISH.

Fishes have Eeal. put to many queer
uses While Still! alive, bat probably the
stranSest was that suggested to the

propulsion Of submarine torpedoes was
the subject Under discussion and he
proposed that Il SHARK! hc imprisoned

the active application Of electricity.
In case the SHARK attempted to swim
away it was 10 !:o given an electric
shock and in tliS way kept on its
course until the torpedo had reached
its target.
Another remarkable use to which q
fish has been put is Us 4 barometer.
