By GARRETT p. sERvIss.

Herewith is a diagram prepared in
England which shows at a glance the
practical application OF the much
talked of daylight saving" plan,
which has, or is to have, the sanction
OF law in Germany, England and
some other European countries and
which some people think ought to be
introduced here.
Judging from remarks that | have
heard It would seem that there are
persons who really suppose that an
act of the legislature can change the
course of the sun in the heavens or,
more correctly speaking, the conse-
| quences Of the rotation of the earth
and OF the inclination OF its axis. But,
before discussing that, let US see what
the diagram tells us.
1t must be remembered that it was
drawn to show the situation in Eng
land, and that London lies nearly
eleven degrees north Of New York.
At New York the longest summer day
is about fourteen hours and fifty
FIVE minutes; at London it is about
sixteen hours and twenty-four min
utes.
On the diagram a summer average
has been struck, the hours OF day.
light being represented by white and
lightly shaded spaces covering fifteen
and one-half hours, and those OF dark
ness by more deeply shaded spaces
covering eight and one-half hours.
Nine working hours are represented
between the heavy sloping lines. The
| figure OF a clock face, below, shows
how the new law, in effect on May q,
causes apparently the loss OF an
hour by making the clock read noon
when It is only II a. m. by mean sun
time, and p. m. when it is noon by
the sun.
As long as the new setting Of the
clock continues clock noon will re-
main an hour ahead of real noon.
Along the bottom OF the diagram
the hours have been arranged ac-
cording to the new schedule, and
along the top according to the old,
or true, time. By running the eye
along the vertical lines from the bot
tom to top the effect as regards the
hours Of rising in the morning is seen.
Take, for instance, the heavy line on
the left showing the sunrise; by the
new clock time ii is 5 a. M, but the
true time shown at the top Of the line,
is 4 a. m,
OF course the sun has not been
having a morning nap. 1t rises at
the same absolute time as before, and
the man who has been in the habit
Of getting up, by the clock, at a, m.
Gan hour after sunrise), will continue
to get up at 5 a. m, but, since the
clock has been set ahead, the sun will
now rise at the same time the man
does. In other words he deliberately
sets the clock to fool himself into get.
ting out Of bed at sunrise instead Of
when the sun Is an hour high. He
abrogates his own will and becomes
slave to lying clock.
Take broad view Of the chart, it
will be seen that the general effect Of
the change is to shift the working

! Th1mqs Worth Knowing

II a gloss is desired on linen, add a
teaspoonful of salt to the starch when
making. ~
To remove obstinate stains from
hardwood floors rub them with a
cloth wet with turpentine.
Whsn beating the whites of eggs
be careful that there is no grease on
the beaten, as it will prevent the eggs
from frothing.
Clean~mother- of-pesrl articles that
have become dull and blurred with
pure olive oil, then applying ordi-
nary nail brush and rubbing with a
chamois.
If bamboo furniture has tendency
to crack rub it over with a polish
made OF equal parts OF spirits of
turpentine and linseed oil, using a
soft rag.
The simplest way to clean jewelry
is to dip it in a suds of CASTLE soap.
II should then be rinsed in diluted al
cohol with few drops of ammonia
added. 1t will look bright as new.
When canning boiling hot fruit
drop a silver knife in the jar, and
thus effectuslly prevent breaking.
Take the knife out when the jar
is nearly full, fill up, and seal as
usual.
Table linen that has been stained
with egg should never be placed in
boiling water, as it has the effect OF
setting the stain and making it al
most permanent. The best method is
to soak the cloth in cold water, which
will make it perfectly easy to remove
the stain before sending to the wash.
The walls of cupboards and
pantries are often damp or wet on
sultry days without apparent reason,
when other sections of the kitchen
wall will be comparatively dry. The
best device for any wall that is in
clined to dampness is to make it i'm
pervious to moisture by applying a

hours back toward the time OF sun
rise, or eastward across the meridian.
This increases proportionally the
afternoon hours OF leisure. But pre-
cisely the same effect would be OBJ
tanned without any falsihcation or
self-fooling by simply rising an hour
earlier, or beginning work an hour
earlier, and then quitting work and
going to bed an hour sooner.
You remain awake or you work
the same number of hours in either
case. Our clocks fool US enough by
their caprices as it is; why, then, add
systematic deception to their indi-
cations? 1t is sop to human stupid
ity, 1t is an attempt to make a ma
chine rule the day when the only pos
sible real ruler is the sun.
Calling II o'clock noon does not
make it noon; only the arrival Of the
sun on the meridian can bring noon.
And that fact reveals weakness of
the new scheme which is we'll worth
considering. 1t is everywhere Gus
tomary to stop work for an hSur at
high noon, and that for reasons which
need not be pointed out. But il we
go by clock which saystll o'clock
is noon we will quit work an hour be-
fore the sun has eliminated and re-
sumo work at precisely the moment
when its rays are poured down most
effectively.
And il, to counterbalance this. we
decide to make the hour of quitting
work p. m. by the clock, then we
reintroduce into the new system the
very thing II was invented to avoid,
viz: change in the habitual clock

Next to the ugly mouthlines, moth
ing gives the face a more unpleasant
expression than a frown. Now, a
frown generally implies an unpleasant
temper; as matter Of fact, it may be
only the result Of nervousness, or
worry, or pain, but the world takes
little account OF these last named
causes.
For the wrinkles in the forehead
above the brows, in addition to the
treatment by massage, bandage
should be worn. Owing, however,
to the conformation OF the face and
the impossibility Of binding the space
between the eyes without also cover
ing the visual organs, the only really
convenient cure for frown wrinkles Is
massage. incidentally, the friction ap
piled to these parts with emollient
creams will bring relief to the sufferer
from cold in the head or a catarrhal
affection OF the nasal organs.
And now we come to the terrible

you would avoid crows feet before

Also do not sleep with light in your

the city certain amount OF light is
bound to filter through your room
from the street il you sleep as you
should. with your windows open.
That you cannot avoid, but what
you can and must avoid is facing the
light while you sleep. Unconsciously
you will make an effort to shut out
the light by closing your eyelids
tighter in sleep than you otherwise
would, and the result Of this effort
will be crows feet.
Massage for the crows feet should
be applied in a rotary motion with
the thumbs, beginning the circle with
a light downward movement and
bearing on the upper curve,

Virginia Baked Han,
BY CONSTANCE CLARKE.

Virginia Ham is one Of the most
delicious of dishes and may be served
hot or cold. In choosing ham, as
certain that it is perfectly sweet by
running a sharp knife into it, close to
the bone, and if, when the knife is
withdrawn, it has an agreeable smell
the ham is good; if, on the contrary,
the blade has greasy appearance and
offensive smell, the ham is bad. If it
is very dry and salty, let it remain in
soak for twenty-four hours, changing
the water frequently. This length Of
time is only necessary in the case of
its being very hard; from eight to
twelve hours would be sufficient for a
sweet ham. Wash it thoroughly clean
and trim away from the under side all
the smoked parts, which would spoil
the appearance. Put it into boiling
pot, with sufficient water to cover it,
and with bouquet Of sweet herbs.
Bring it gradually to the boil, and as

hours or beginning or quitting OF
work. Would it be any easier to &C
custom oneself to keep on working
until / o'clock p. M, by the clock, be-
fore stopping for the poon rest, than
to begin working say at 6 a. m. in
stead Of 7 a. m?
OF course, as everybody knows,
even our present clock time is not
absolutely true to the real suntime.
Owing to causes which cannot be dis
cussed here, no clock can be made to
precisely follow the sun.
For that reason mean sun" has
been invented which keeps the aver
age steps of the real sun. But the
departures are usually slight and
never exceed, at the maximum, more
than about fifteen minutes, while at
certain times there Is no difference
between mean sun and real sun time.
The the system of standard meridian
times, especially useful for railroad
purposes, falsifes the record more or
less, but this has now become fixed
and causes no great inconvenience,
because in longitudes where the de-
parture of standard time from local
time is conveniently wide, clocks in
shops can be regulated to local mean
time.
But the daylight saving" scheme
introduces a new and unnecessary
complication into what is already a
very intricate subject and its adop-
ton here would emphasize the asser-
ton Of the poet Slightly amended:
