The Division Of Time.

The division OF time into hours was
practiced among the B~abylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
s~exagesimal system Of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is no number having so many di-
visions as sixty. The Babylonians d.
vided the daily journey Of the sun, the
ruler of the day, into twenty-four para
sangs. Each parasang, or 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.

While campaigning in his home state
Speaker Cannon was once inveigled

Cannon suddenly gave vent to a vio-

youngster-"a deep sound strikes like
a rising knell! Did We hear it,"
The visitors smiled, and a moment
later the second ~sneeze-which the
speaker was vainly trying to hold back
came with increased violence.

The practice Of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman rul-
ers as a mark Of subsection as much as
one of respect, and under the first Gaze
sars the custom was kept up, but only
for a time. These worthless conceived
the idea that the proper homage due to
their exalted station called for less ia

reserved as a special mark of condo
