TIME AT THE POLES.
II Is Practically Any Hour of the Day
You Please.

II Is Practically Any Hour of the Day
You Please.
Those who are conversant with the
use of globes know that all the merid-
ians of longitude starting from the
equator converge toward and meet at
the poles. They know. too. that longl-
tude signifies time and that difference
of longitude is difference in time. They
know very well that when 1t is noon in
London it Is about o'clock in the
morning in Boston, and that when 1t is
noon in San Francisco it is about
quarter past in the afternoon in New
York
Now, as the meridian of London ex-
tends to the north pole, it necessarily
ensues that when 1t is noon in the Eng
lish capital 1t must also be noon at the
north pole. In similar manner when
it is noon at Boston, or in San Francis
co, or at Pekin, or any other place
situated in the northern hemisphere,
1t follows that 1t must also be noon at
the pole. because all the meridians of
those places unite at the north pole.
Therefore it is noon all day long at the
pole.
Thus there is an entire absence Of
time at the pole. But 1t would be just
as correct to say that it is a place
where there is preponderance of
time. for it is practically any time of
day during the whole twenty-four
hours or indeed, through the year.
In fact. resident at the north pole
could make 1t any time OF day he
might choose to select, with the con
seriousness that it would be the right
time

THE INNOCENT FOX.

THE PERSONAL EQUATION.
IT Plays a Very Large Part In Success
In Business.

If you stop for moment TO analyze
success in business you will see 1t
comes through contact with people.
It is all hinged upon the manner or
your contact. On every side you are
surrounded by multitude of persons,
In every one of whom there exists a
potential force that may be exerted,
at one time or another, to add to your
success. The oftener you cause that
force to be exerted the faster your
business will grow You can attract
these individual forces If you choose
and get the most from them. or you
can repel them and suffer actual dam
age from having come in contact with
them, or you may take a middle
course, as many business men do, and
drift along in a purely negative man
ner.
Looking at business in this light, II
is apparent that the underlying ele-
ment which contributes most to the
success of any undertaking and to
business in the aggregate is the art
Of finding the vital points of human
contact that viii set in motion these
forces. The personal element must be
stamped upon your Observation-Disclosures

sura Of Water.

Sir Joseph Prestwich had bought in
1864 small estate near Sevenoaks, on
which he built residence, but 1t was
high up on a dry and treeless chalk
down. Where was water to be found !
So confident was Prestwich In re-
spect of water supply that he at once
engaged an old well digger to sink o
well 1888 feet deep. The boring pro
ceeded, but when q depth of 1865 feet
was reached the two workmen went to
the city and sought an interview with
their employer, whom they found at
his desk. They explained that there
was no sign of water and that In their
opinion it was useless to bore to a
greater depth. go on" was the quiet
rejoinder. you will come upon water

THE MODERN HAT.
Its Serious Defects From the Hygienic
Point of View.


The size. the style and incidentally
the cost of women's hats, says writer
in the Berliner Umschau, have taken
up so much of the time Of the people
who make hats a study that they have
not had a moment to devote to the
head covering of the sterner sex. Con
sidered from the hygienic point of
view, little fault can be found with the
hats of our sisters, although some of
them, when viewed through the glass
of reason, are unthinkable. But mems
hats are faulty from the physicians
point of view, and a wider knowledge
Of the defects of the modern hat would
add to the already large army of bare
headed men. In order to demonstrate
which hats should be avoided per
fectly healthy man was placed where
the rays of the sun could strike him di-
rectly. He wore while taking the sun
bath various kinds of hats for period
Of fifteen minutes each. Every hat con-
tanned in the crown a thermometer
and these recorded as follows: The one
in the panama hat II degrees, the straw
sailor 81, tn silk hat &c., the felt hat
90 and the black hat and yachting cap
90 and 100 degrees respectively.

Tea Table Etiquette.

A hundred years or more ago there
was a quaint tea table etiquette. 1t
was considered a lack of courtesy to
take much cream or sugar in ones tea.
Etiquette demanded that the tea should
be tasted from the spoon and that the
hostess should then inquire. 'Is your
tea agreeableT Modern women would
be shocked by a fashionable lady of
those days who cooled her tea with her
breath, yet Young wrote Of certain

The Governors Message.

Gov. Wilson sent his message to the
Legislature Wednesday and 1t was read
in both Houses. In it he deplcred the
recent acts of lawlessness committed
by night riders throughout the state
and called on the Legislature to enact
laws which will enable the state au-
thorities to deal with these conditions.
The present, laws are declared to be
entirely inadequate and additional ones
are needed that will, so the Governor
says, send some of these men to the
penitentiary.
z The Governor asks for the creation
of a Departmet of Justice, to be under
the direction of the AttOrney-General,
SO that all the litigation of the State
can be attended to by attorneys for
the State and not by specially appoint
ed attorneys, as is now the rule. He
asks that the state charitable institu-
tionS be taken out of politics by the
creation of q nOn-partiSan board and
that the Legislature make new legis-
lative, senatorial and congressional
districts. He quotes an opinion of tie
Democratic Court of Appeals, which
declared that the state should be re-
districted. He asked for an appropri-
alton of $500, 900 to complete the new
State Capitol and also an approDria-
tiOn to, construct a new mansion for
the Governor. He says that the dog
tax law should be repealed.
The temper and tone of the message
is kindly and in places is an appeal for
a new Kentucky and the obliteration
of factional troubles and strife among
the people. The Governor says that
ne has not had the time and has not
been in office long enough to be thor
oughly familiar with the needs of
various departments Of the State gov
eminent to give all Of them careful
and earnest consideration and will CON-
municate with both branches OF the
General Assembly from time to time,
acquaintirg them with the state OF the
commonwealth. :
