FROM BABYLONlAN WISE MEN
Came the Division OF the Hour 40 II
Has Been Recognized Through
out the Centuries.

The division OF an hour into sixty
minutes is OF ancient Babylonlc origin
ard has survived the reforms applied
10 notation i'm the course of the
worlds progress Along with the dec
imal system In ancient Babylon there
was the sexagcsimal system based up
on the count by sixties and originat'
ing I'm the discovery that there IN no
number which has so many diyisofs
as sixty. n can be divided without
remainder by 2. 3, 4, g. 6. 10. IL. l5, 20
and 30.
Babylonians divided the suns path
into twenty-four parasangs. the lat
ter representing about four and one
half miles. The astronomers of that
day compared the progress of the sun
during one hour To the progress made
by a good walker during the same pc
Rod of time. each accomplishing one
parasang.
The whole course OF the sun was
twenty-four parasangs. or $50 degrees.
and each parasang or hour was sub
divided into sixty minutes.
Hipparchus. the Greek philosopher,
who lived $50 B. C.. introduced the
Babylonisn hour into Europe. and.
carried along by traditional knowl-
edge down through the middle ages. II
survived the French revolution. which
endeavored 10 reduce every measure
TO decimal system OF reckoning. 80
that the measure OF time continues
sexagesimal or Babylonian.

chintz as an Armor in Household.

The vogue for chintz in dress has
led a young matron who does her own
housework--and likes 10 look well
while doing it-into making a set of
work aprons and caps out OF this dec
orative material.
The firm weave of chintZ makes 1t
an admirable dust.proof protection for
gown and hair and keeps a fresh look.
ChintZ does not wrinkle easily, and II
a gay all-over design be chosen, 1t
will not look spotted for a long while.
Dressed i'm her chintz apron and cap
TO match, the young matron looks
pretty to a degree-more as though
arrayed for some fancy dress AFFAIR
than for mere work; fact that
makes work go gayly.
Her aprons cover her gowns en-
tirely. They are tightly belted in at
the waist and furnished with com
modious pocket. An apron and cap
striped in inch bars OF dark blue alter

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize tho Injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that q change to Postum can bring.
they are usually glad TO lend their
testimony for tho benefit OF others.
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
or, had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
OF that 'weak.allover' feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago ! was making q
visit 10 a distant part OF the country
and took dinner with one OF the mer'
chants OF the place. I noticed a some
what unusual flavor OF the coffee
and asked him concerning II. lie rs-

Il was &c pleased with II that !
bought a package 10 carry home with
me, and had wife prepare some for
the next meal. Tho whole family
liked II SO well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition. but We
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart. and no
sick stomach: that the headaches
were not so frequent. and her general
condition much improved. This con.
tinued until she was well and hearty.
