A "SidereaI Cay.r

In answering correspondent who
asked the meaning of the term side
real time" the Irish Times explains
that that is the only truly scientific
manner of recording time and is that
which astronomers and navigators use.
A "sidereal day" is the precise time
taken by the earth in revolving on Its
axis and is twenty-three hours, fifty
six minutes and four seconds. Our
sundials, however, record a very diff
ferent day.
If you set up a sundial In garden
and observe when it is noon today and
again tomorrow you will find that 1t
exceeds the "sidereal day. by three
minutes and ffty-six seconds. The
difference is due to the distance that
the earth has Travelled on its orbit
while it has been revolving on its axis.
The orbit motion makes 1t necessary
for the earth to turn nearly four min
utes longer in order to bring any place
to the same position with regard to
the sun that it had on the previous
day

Free Speech.

An old negro woman had lived with
a certain family In the south for many
years. One day her mistress had occa-
sion to reprimand her quite sharply for
something that had gone wrong. The
negress said nothing at the time, but
a little later her voice could be heard
in the kitchen In shrill vituperat1on Of
everything and everybody, with q rat
ting accompaniment Of pans and kee-
ties So loud became the clamor and
so vindicttve the EXPLANATIONS that
Mrs. c. went hurr1edly down to the
kitchen.

Love and Marriaqe.

First love Is very apt not to be the
lasting love-" said Dr.. Antoinette Koni
kow, speaking at the Boston School of
Social Science.
Young lovers try to excuse all the
faults Of the loved one because they
are not in love with the individual, but
with love Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they will find
their happiness In later years. Many a
man and woman is glad by middle age
that the first love was frustrated.
Marriage should be based On love
alone or it Is immoral, and some change
Is necessary If marriage is to be saved
from degradation. Real love always
makes people better. Romantic love is
the source of all the best things in life
the foundation Of all the arts. And
individual happiness makes up the hap
piness of the ace."-Boston Post.

Tho Pyomy hippopotamu..

One Of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus Of West Africa.
This animal Is Just what its name
implies, a pygmy hippopotamus. It Is
much smaller than the common hippo
potamus, being no larger than an ord.
nary or fair sized hog. 1t differs some
what from the common hippo In the
character Of its teeth, and instead Of
spending its time In the rivers and
lakes in large herds it wanders about
through the jungles singly or In pairs,
much after the manner Of swine in
search Of mast.-London Spectator.
