Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer Iouzeau was an article in
which, while arguing In favor of a dee,
imal division of time, lie pointed out
the origin of the double set of twelve
hours represented on our watch and
clock faces. Tito ancient inhabitants
of Mesopotamia chose the number 12
as an arithmetlical base because it has
four divisors-viz, 2, 3. 4 and 6. while
10 has only two divisors-viz, 2 and 5.
They counted twelve hours in the day
and twelve in the night. measuring the
day by the progress of the sun tiand the
night by the progress of the stars
across the sky. This, system, prevall
ing over all others, has conic down to
us, and so our watches bear on their
faces a souvenir of those anielnt dIays
when the sun served for'a lock' hiand
half of the time and'the at-'s the other
half. -
Inanklen and I111Hmse
Animal (rainers of the ol daiys led
adventurous lives. In 100 all London
was talking of a, man naomed B1uzikes,
servant to the IEarl of Essex, who had
taught his horse to counimt and perfori
it number of feats. ineitudlh miountilng
to the top ol' St. Paul's qathedral. while
"a number of isses." as the historian
Puts It, "braved below." Sir Walter
Raleigh inl his histary says of Bankes
that lie "would hav'e shamed all the
enchanters of the world, for whatso- I
ever was most famous among them
could never master or Instruct any
beast as he did his horse." When
Bankes took his horse to Rome both
were burned for witcheraft.
A PomNible Exception.
A high schoolteacher was examining
the physidlogy class.
"How many ribs have you. Charles?"
he asked.
"Why - er - I don't know," said
Charles.
"Didn't the text books state?" he
then querled somewhat sharply.
"Yes-oh, .yes-of course, but, you
see, I'm long waisted."
Den Butler'n Retort.
An old lawyer in speakilg about Gen
eral Ben Butler said: "Ben Butler was
a terror and a torment to the judges.
On one occasion Judge Sanger, having
been.,)ullied,qud..bgdgered out of all
patience, .petulantly asked, 'What does
the counsel suppose I ,am on this bench
for?' - Scratching his head a minute,.
Butler .replied. 'Well, I confess your
honor's got me there.'"
Eany -AAnwer.
A Liverpool paper tells the pathetic
story of one A., who Is compelled to
grow a beard to ward off pneumonia
and other ills. The woman with whom
he has fallen in love, however, declines
to marry him unless lie will shave
"What," asks our contemporary,
"should A. do?" The answer seems
easy: Keep the beard and cut the
womIi.
Friendship.
There Is a certain development of
love in'which the covetous longlug of
two people for one another has.ylelded
to a higher mutual thirst for an .ideal
above them both.' But who hes found
such love, who has experilenced it? Its
true namile Is friendship.

There can be no doubt about it that V
the tendency to resort to surgical opera- '1
tions has been too great in the past and
that this harmful tendency is growing t
Jess every day.
Experience has demonstrated that v
many ailments which seemed to require A
surgical operations in the past are now
being cured by the C
SURGICAL use of harmless rein
. OPERAlIONS edies. Peruna has
AVOIDED. done as much as ally
other remedy to es
tablish this very important fact.
Thousands of people have been con
demned to undergo surgical operations.
Their physicians have told them that
tncy must either submit to such opera- f
tions or lose their lives.
After this they have resorted to
Peruna and found relief. -1
Other good remedies have accom
plished the same result, but it is safe to
assume that no other remedy has
equaled Peruna in its beneficent work.
Many of the' alleged incurable de
rangements of the pelvis are dependent
upon catarrh.
Thore is no cure for these except the
t'emoval of the catarrh.
Peruna seerhingly works miracles in
some of-these cases. The explanation, V
however, is vf.ry simple. Peruna re
