Shortening of the Day.
It has long been known theoretically
that the tides act as a brake on fhe
rotating earth and tend to lengthen
the day. The effect, however, is so
slight that it cannot be measured In
any length of time at man’s disposal.
It may be estimated with the aid of
certain assumptions, and, using the
data available, W. It. MacMillan made
the necessary computation by the for¬
mulas used by engineers. He finds for
the increase of the length of the day
one second in 400,000 years.
A Curious Spanish Custom.
Ellen Maury Slayden iu the Century
lu an account of her own and her hus¬
band’s lavish entertainment in a Span¬
ish household says:
“No custom of the house was so un¬
accountable as that of having people
come ‘to see you eat.’ Enjoying a
square mea! while our guests inhaled
cigarette smoke seemed so inhospita¬
ble that I sometimes playfully insisted
upon their having something with us.
It was always laughingly declined, ex¬
cept once when a particularly lively
youth took a piece of ham and ate It
with all sorts of self conscious little
antics, as If he were acting a panto¬
mime.”
Congressman Thomas M. Bell,
of the Ninth district, is in re¬
ceipt of a letter from Supervis¬
ing Architect Knox Taylor, of
the United States Treasury De
parsmeut, ju regard to the date
of the construction of the Gaines¬
ville postoflke, in which he says:
“I have the honor to advise that
this work is on the market and
bids therefor will be opened on
December S, 1908, and it is hoped
that a contract can be awarded
immediately thereafter.”

EARLY RISERS
The famous little pills.
NEW YORK’S EOWERY.
Why the Upper Part of It Was Named
Fourth Avenue.
Id the early forties of the last ceu
tury there lived in Brooklyn a -Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. Mr. Smith was a ris¬
ing civil engineer, and most of his
work was in New York. It was nec¬
essary that he be nearer his place of
business than Brooklyn, for In those
days ferries were slow and infrequent,
no bridges spanned the river, and horse
cars wSre the speediest means of
transit. Being a man of moderate
means, Mr. Smith went house hunting
through the streets of New York, seek¬
ing a modest but respectable abode.
Near the upper end of the Bowery he
found a small house. Elated with his
success, he rushed home with the news
to his wife. But when he mentioned
the name of the street In which this
house stood his wife's face fell.
"How could you think of it?” she
asked. Smith was in despair.
Even ns far hack us 1840 the Bow¬
ery had acquired an unenviable repu¬
tation. Mr. Smith tried to explain
that the upper part of the Bowery
was still untarnished; that many very
respectable people lived in that part
of town; that it would he many long
years before crime and sin would
spread that far north.
It was all wasted energy. The fact
that she would be living on the Bow¬
ery was sufficient for Mrs. Smith.
As a civil engineer It was Mr.
Smith’s custom to overcome obstacles
The following day he hired a convey¬
ance, and he and Mrs. Smith went
house hunting together. Mrs. Smith
knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but
had only a slight acquaintance with
New York. After driving through
many streets without finding a suita¬
ble bouse the husband quietly turned
Into the Bowery at Union square ami
slowly walked the horse In the direc¬
tion of the house he had found the
previous day.
Suddenly Mrs. Smith exclaimed,
“Why, there’s a pretty place to let.
dear:”
“Where?" listlessly questioned her
husband, purposely looking In the op¬
posite direction. Had Mrs. Smith not
been so Intent upon tile house In ques¬
tion she might have noticed the mer¬
ry twinkle in her husband’s eyes and
suspected something.
“Right over there,” she replied,
pointing to the house with the “To
Let” sign.
An examination of the premises con¬
vinced Mrs. Smith that she must have
the place, and when she learned that
her neighbors were old friends of hers
she had her husband close I he bar¬
gain at once.
All this time no mention was made
of the street. How Smith managed to
prove into the house aud keep Mrs.
Smith iu the dark as to the name of
fhe street is a mystery. But there
came a Jay. and there was a storm.
The tear f$H was something heretofore
unknown In the Smith household.
Once again Mr. Smith’s habit of
overcoming obstacles stood him in
good stead. His wife would not live
on the Bowery. Her home was Ideal,
her neighbors were good people, but
they lived on the Bowery. So Smith
and one of his neighbors went before
the board of aldermen. The neighbor
had influence. The street signs from
.Union square down to Fourth street
were changed. Instead of "Bowery"
the words “Fourth avenue” were sub
stituted.
And Mrs. Smith was happy ever aft¬
er.—New York World._

A Metaphor With a History.
To “know u hawk from a herustmw”
Is a metaphor with u curious history.
It Is a comparison drawn from fal¬
conry. “Herushaw” Is a corruption
of "heronsha w.” or young heron, a bird
which was a common prey of the fal¬
cons. To know a hawk from a bern
shaw Is therefore to he able to dis¬
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept Into
the phrase—"to know a hawk from A
handsaw." a form used by Hamlet In
one pluee. Possibly the distinction be¬
tween a hawk and a hernshaw was
found not to lie strong enough for the
purposes of the proverb.—Manchester
Guardian.

ence. wiping iiis brow, "unless you
