THE OLD CIRCUS FOSTER.

Pretentious Language WIRE Which the
Show Was Ccocribed.
The grandilOQuent extravaganza of
language Of the old time circus poster
is illustrated by this reproduction,
which is given verbatim:
"There will be presented a resplen-
dent series of sublime. moral, interest
ing, instructive, amusing and wonder
full scenes which would appear entirely
too fabulous if expressed in an adver-
tisement. They must be seen to be
duly appreciated. These great displays
will unfold in all the loneliness and
beauty of enchantment, carrying the
minds of the bewildered or spellbound
spectators off on the gentle wings of
the imagination to such pageantry as
they might dream of after reading a
few pages of Arabian Nights Enter
tainments.' Words are really wanting
to give adequate expression. Web.
ster's unabridged fails most signally in
language to fully portray a semblance
of the reality. Economy may be learn

elucidate the peculiarities of each with
guarded SuaviloQuence."

A .yeman.s Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove saIlowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "Iocal'' treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly OH the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion 1t also cures consti'
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsis
and digestion. New trial size bottle

The Chances Are Always Vastly
Against the Player.
Just a word about systems of gam
bling followed by various players.
Their name is legion-some plausible,
some ridiculous, some based on e1ab-
crate calculations, some giving won
derful results on paper, and all failing
woefully at the tables.
"After fifteen years Of experience at
Monte Carlo" writes newspaper cor
respondent, costing a sum I should be
ashamed to name, after a thorough In
vestigation Of more than 400 different
systems and progressions, after hav-
ing employed a mathematician, L 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. l say
they are a hundred to one against the
player"
This is rather an Overstatement, for
few players do win, by luck, not by
system, or by system based on luck.
as when a man backs the number of
his hotel room or a woman backs her

players win occasionally, and the rest
lose, not only because of the banks

between a man and machine-a man
with nerves and emotions, a machine
with no nerves and no emotions. Let
the system be ever so perfect, the gam

strength Of will, he would not be

The Division of Tir1e,

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 d.
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.
