ORIGIN CF SUNDIALS. The Chaidecns, it 15 Said, Made the First Ones Used. The Chaideans claim the honors of the first sundial, and from them the knowledge of it found a way throngh Egypt and Greece. Herod otus says that the Greeks learned from the Chaldeans the art of mak ing dials and dividing the day into twelve parts, and while many allu sions are found in Greek literature bearing on the length of a shadow in telling the time of day no expla natien is given of how this measur ing is done. A story is told of a man who was invited to dine when a shadow was twenty feet long, which was about the hour of 5 in the afterroon, according to the host’s reckonine, but the overans ious guest mistook the invitation ‘o read according to morning shadows and arrived before the feast was served. This story finds a parallel in the memories of many who have visited in secluded mountain districts where the mountaincers tell the time of day by the shadows that ereep from summit to summit. The Arabs were the very first to intro duce sundials showing the hours of equal length. T'he oldest now in ex istence, however, give signs of Greek workmanship. One is found in Egypt at the base of Cleopatra's Needle, and another, the most pre tentious of sundials, i 3 in Athens— the Temple of the Winds, in reality an octagonal building with a dial on each of the eight sides. Many Greek dials were hemicvelean in form, while those of the Scandina vians and Saxons were vertical or horizontal. St. Augustine introduced the Ro man system into England, and many of the old churches in Eng lan} have vertical sundials over the doors, and throughout England and Scotland they are frequently found on the side of houses, while the hor izontal dial is used in the garden or on the lawn. In time they became the fashion, princes made gifts of them, and they were considered -ap propriate monuments to the dead, and they became more handsome and elaborate in design. A fine sample of the art is that at Glamis castle, which has eighty-four gno mons. The simplest design . that primi tive block of stone with a dial en graved upon it and a rude gnomon, or triangular projecting piece, which by its shadow shows the hour of the day. The word fnomon, or gnom mone, is fancifully a derivetian— “ine Know man or gnowman of a dial, the shadow whereof pointeth out the howers.”—Kansas City Star. Egypt’s Sacred Beetles. The scarabaeus, the sacred beetle of Egypt, was an object of worship in olden days and was mest careful ly embalmed at death. The ancient Fgyptians believed the heart to be the center of intellect as well as the source of life and removed this or gan when the embalming process took place, a model of the scara baeus being put in its place. There are many varieties of this sacred beetle, as the monuments in Egypt show. The scarab was the favorite insignia of both men and women and was worn as a charm to protect from harm and insure desirable qualities to make them attractive. Many\ hard stones were used for these models, and turquoise matrix, lapis lazuli, jasper, amethyst, agate and onyx were much in favor. Some of the ancient ones are clever ly cut and were used as coin of the realm. The finest are found with the mummies in old tombs.—Argo naut. “Billington’s Sea.” There is tangible evidence that the pious passengers of the May flower were not entirely without a sense of humor. Back of Plymouth over the hill upon which they planted their cannon is a large fresh water pond perhaps a mile in diameter, which, it appears from the records, was discovered by John Billington while he was prowling around one night, probably on a scouting expedition looking for In dians, Tn the morning he reported that he had found the sea in that direction, and there was a lively dis pute between him and the other pilgrims as to the accuracy of his information. He stuck to his the ory with the same tenacity that he adhered to his religion, and to this day that pond is called “Billing ton’s sea.” Not His Legs. ‘ A Russian peasant, having gone to the town to buy himself a pair of new boots, fell asleep by the roadside on his way home and was stripped of his cherished boots by a light fingered tramp, but his sleep remained unbroken till a passing wagoner, seeing him lying half across the track, shouted to him to “take his lags out of the way.” “My legs?” echoed the half aroused sleeper, rubbing his eyes. “Those legs ain’t mine. Mine had boots on!”— Paris Figaro.

Professor Torgue of Montpellier in a lecture on the respect that practitioners should have for hu man life told the story of Desge mettes, which, though well known, is worth telling again, aa it is told by Desgenettes himself, When the French were about to evacuate Jaffa the question arose what was to be done with the plague stricken soldiers in the hos pital. Desgenettes says: “Shortly before the raising of the siege—that is to say, on the 27th—General Bonaparte sent for me very early in the morning to come to his tent, where he was alone with his chief of the staff. After a short preamble as to our sanitary condition he said to me, ‘lf I were you I should end at once the sufferings of those stricken with plague and should end the dangers which they threaten us by giving them opium.’ “I answered simply, ‘My duty is to preserve life.” Then the general developed his idea with the greatest coolness, saying that_he was advis ing for others what in like circum stances he would ask for himself. “He pointed out to me that he was, before any one clse,” charged with the conservation of the army, and consequently it was his duty to prevent our abandoned sick from falling alive under the scimiters of the Turks. ‘I do not seek,” he went on, ‘to overcome your repugnance, but I believe I shall find some who will “better appreciate my inten tions.”” Desgenettes goes on to say that opium was, as a matter of fact, given to'some thirty patients. It happened, however, that a cer tain number rejected it by vomit ing, were relieved, got well and told what had happened. The story has been told in various ways, and the fact of the poisoning of the sick soldiers has been accepted by the enemies of Napoleon and denied by the defenders of his memory. Des genettes’ narrative bears the stamp of truth.—British Medical Journal. Tough on Papa. Margaret has learned to spell a few words, among them doll, pig, boy, papa, ete. Recently a visitor, learning of the new accomplishment, asked her, “What does p, i, g, spell?” “Why, papa, of course,” answered Margaret. Every one laughed ex cept ‘papa. Somehow he couldn’t see the joke at all. — Washington Star. . s ' I'all Opening! —“—““——_ OUR LINE, INCLUDING \ 000, Shoes, s, GRS Fumistigs.
