A TIMELESS WORLD.
What Would Happen Il We Were en-

What Would Happen IL We Were En-
tirey Enclosed by Clouds.
IL astronomers are right i'm ascrib-
ing the wonderful brightness OF Venus
TO the existence Of an atmosphere con-
tinually filed with clouds then she
must be world without time-at
least there can be no measurement OF
time there such as we have here
IL is because we can see the sun and
the stars that we are able 10 traverse
the oceans and run railroad trains
across the continents

Ken she'll Of clouds and what would be-

TO run its trains without series OF
frightful wrecks In few weeks
every clock and watch would be hope
loSsly wrong and all exact timekeep-
ing would cease.
Probably there are few who stop TO
think Of the way in which our every
day life depends upon astronomical
observations. Our great primary time
keeper is the earth rotating on its
axis. II we could not see the sun
and stars because OF clouds we should
not know that the earth rotates and
there would he no standard to which
we could refer our timcpieces aud by
which we could correct them. In fact
we should probably have no time
pieces
There could be no hours and min
utes. for they are exact divisions OF
an ideal day based upon celestial OBJ
servations which would Ice impossible
20 us.
They could not be based upon clocks
or other mechanical devices. because
the most exquisite chronometer that
can be constructed will not keep time
indefinitely and must be continually
corrected by means Of observations OF
the stars made in the observatories.
There could be no accurate maps OF
countries or charts OF the seas. for
such maps and charts can be made
only by the aid OF astronomical obser-
vationS.
There could be no parallels OF latf
tude or meridians OF longitude. for
they. too. are based on celestial OBJ
servations which would be impossible
TO us.
We should not know with any GER
tainty where we were upon the earth.
We could not measure the distance
from New York TO London nor from
New York TO San Francisco.
POetical minds. moved by the spec

THE HOMEMAKER.
Mans chivslry 70 the Fried Goddess
Of the Fireside.


AS we men frequently admit. il is
our cbivalrous regard for woman
which leads us TO desire that she shall
conflne her wholly admirable energies
10 the making Of our home and the
keeping OF our houses. She is tender
and frail. and so we urge that she
shall not for n moment drop her role
as the goddess OF the household. There
is nothing that so rouses our almost
sacred admiration as 10 see our own
particular goddess with dishrag in
one hand and n frying pan in the 9TH
er. Let us never desert this high ideal
OF womanhood and its lofty purpose in
life.
particularly let us not do so because
II woman does not keep the house
1t Will not be kept. Would we men

one year? Would we wash dishes

The "Arabian NiohtS-

The collection OF tales called the
Thousand and One Nights" or the
Arabian Nights" is OF unknown date
and authorship. IL was first made
known in Europe about the end OF the
seventeenth century by Antoine Gal
land, who was employed by Colbert to
collect manuscripts in the east The
copy OF the Arabic manuscript brought
by Galland from Syria contained a
marginal note dated 1884. and from in
ternal evidence the middle OF the fif-
teenth century has been fixed upon as
the probable period Of the composition
OF the work. Some OF the tales were
evidently borrowed by the writer from
other authors, and Won Hammer iden-

stories OF the Arabian Nights" with

April EocIinn-

The origin OF the custom OF April
fooling cannot be traced with any de-
gree Of certainty. In the literature Of
the last century there are found many
references TO it, and yet beyond that
it is scarcely possible TO go One sug-
gestion is that the custom Of playing
tricks on the first day OF April was de-
rived from some ancient pagan Gus
tom. such as the Hull festival among
the Hindoos or the Roman fast OF the
fools. One fact. however. y, O. know.
and that is that the practice prevails
in many countries under various
names which would seem TO Indicate
that it dates away back To the early
history OF the Brooklyn Eagle.
