The receipts were as follows: For dinner, 19.50 and from sale of goodB, $57.50, mak ing a total of $77.00, and when we take into aocount that this was all from oitlzens of Eagle Point and vi oimty, with the exception of Messrs.

Across the water, on which a fleet of white ferryboats ply, rises the bxoad front of the palace, tte stern outilnoof which is relieved by the russet glow which time has lent to the brickwork. In front of the pulace runs a broad quay crowded with shipping behind which one may catch peetm o' narrow, winding streets, with sloping roofs and painted bouses bout with age. The square front of the palace rises above the red and gray roofs, scoming to command the old city. On my right the waters narrow to a swifl rushing stream, over which a statolj bridge has been throwu, uniting the palace with the picturesque pile of tlu opera house, or, rather, with the broad square in which it stands. Behind the opera house lie broad streets of mod ern houses, In which there are unex pected glimpses of waterways crowded with shipping. "Stockholm Is built on a series of is lands formed by Lake Malarcn. It is, Indeed, the city of a thousand Islands and rocky reefs, which are sown broad cast many miles beyond the mainland, where the lake and river join the sea. The steamers which ply up and down the lake alTord endless excursions Seaward you may sail a day among the Islands until you reach the loug, low reefs on which the Baltic beats. "In spfto of their cold climate the Swedes delight in the open air. Aftei the indoor life of English or Amer ican cities It Is a great pleasure to take one's meals out of doors, although it may sometimes bo necessary to dine wrapped In nn overcoat. Wo have seen people dining in the Tlvoll gardens beneath awnings and umbrellas in the rain. This habit may explain tlielienli.1 and vigor of the Swedes." The IturmeNC Nirvnnu. In "The Silken East" the author, V- 0. Scott O'Connor, explains wiiat that much discussed consummation of Nir vana, or not k ban, is to the faithful Burmese: And tills nelkban, what is it? Eter nal extinction or eternal and conscious peace? The everyday Buddhist, in Burma at least, is in no doubt upon the subject, and for the rest, for an exalted idea of paradise, I do not re member to have come upon anything finer than this: "WTiere the believer expects to ilud a sure shelter against all errors, doubts and fears, and a rest ing place, where his spirit may secure ly enjoy the undisturbed possession of truth." WED PIT LIFE That's what a prominent lruggist said of Scott's Smulsion a short time ,go. As a rule we dont ase or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion'with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

Sailors on long cruises sometimes exhaust their tobacco. Thence untold misery nnd many Ingenious efforts tc create a tobacco substitute. Tea and coffee niako tho best tobacco substi tutes. They smoko freely in pipe oi cigarettes, and tbolr taste and aroma are not unpleasant. But they burn tht mouth and rack the nerves. Rope yam the uutwisted parts of rope and oak umis smoked by sailors as a last re sort. Bark, peeled from tho hoops ol salt beef and pork barrels, Is also smoked when the limit Is reached. These things smoke abominably, and tho black fumes that they give forth from the sailors' mouths are always accompanied by oathB and impreca tions. Yot many a desperate sailor has smoked them In the hope of ap peasing his tobacco hunger. 9t. 9Ianilce. St. Maurice, in Switzerland, is tin? name of a little station on the railway that leads up tho Ilhono valley from the lake of Geneva. Tho place gets Its name us follows: Maurice was the offi cer second In command of the Thebaic legion, which the Emporor Mnxlmluii marched over the Alps In A. D. 302 to quell a rising In Gaul. At Octodurum (Mnrtlgny) the legion, every man of which was a Christian, was ordered to sacrifice to the Roman gods for the success of the expedition. Headed by Maurice, they refused, marched off to Agaunum (St Maurice) and there were twice decimated to enforce submission. But they still refused, nnd finally the remainder wero surrounded and cut down by tho rest of tho army. Automatic Cooking Doxea Automatic cooking boxes were In general uso among tho Hebrews near ly 2,000 years ago. The Greek and Roman writers frequently refer to them. In his edition of "Juvenile," for example, Frledlandcr cites a commen tator, who refers to "the Jews who a day before tho Sabbath put their viands hot into the cooking boxes, the pots being covered with napkins aud wrapped about with hay, so that they may have warm food on tho Sabbath."

New THE DAYS AND HOURS ORIGIN OF OUR SYSTEM OF THE DIVISION OF TIME. It Was Devised by the 'Babylonians, Who Were a Very Clever People, Was Adopte4 by the areclcs and lias Survived Through AU Chang-eft, If you pull your watch out of youi pocket you will havo In your band on of the most wonderful pieces of ma chinery ever constructed. Think how It works throughout tho day und night und how It keeps It up year In, yeur out. Think how the second baud points tc S.UUO divisions of time during every hour. It never sleeps. If It Is like the average watch, It wll. be, built up of no fewer than ITS differ ent pieces. These pieces will huvi passed through more than 2,400 sep arate operations, each being a distlucl form of manufacture. The fourth jewel wheel screw Is sc very small that It is almost invisible To the naked eye it apvears to bo but a upeck of dust When examined under n magnifying glass It will bo seen tc be a perfect n;rew, having 260 threads to the Inch, each thread being well cr.t Actually . the diameter of this screw Is so little as tho four one-thousandth part of un Inch, aud It would take no less a number than 100.00C similar screws in order to fill an or dinary tlilmble as used by the ladles. Each screw has a double head and has to bo hardened. After tho harden ing process tho screws are arranged lu frames, being placed In with the heads upward. This delicate operation is done by the sense of touch alone In stead of by sight, and grout rupidlty marks the skillful operator. Somc whero about a hundred ecrows are placed in each frame, and tho frames are attached to a machine which pol ishes the heads of the screws 10,000 al a time. It will be seen how marvelous thCBC screws are, yot one of them forms but one tiny piece of a watch. Still, tills will show tho remarkable natnro of that overyday article. When special watches ure considered there is Indeed room for wonder. For ' instance, take the watch which was presented to Catherine I. on her coronation as empress of Russia. This watch was one of the most remarkably constructed instruments ever made. ' On the opposite sklo of tho works of this extraordinary timekeeper thero was an exact representation of the holy sepulchor, with a carved Image of tho Roman guard stationed outside It. As soon as tho watch case was, opened tho Imitation rocks would rol uway from the mouth of the scpulchcr, the soldier would knecL angels would uppear at opposite sides of tho opening, and sweet strains of music would be heard. This remarkable watch took nine years' uninterrupted labor In or der to construct The first clock lu any way resem bling those In use at present was made by Henry Vlck In the year 1370, and It was made for Charles V. of Frauce. This monarch was surnamed tho Wis, but his education was Imperfect lu many respects, and be knew It well. As a result he was very obstluato in his claim to know everything. Ho showed this obstinacy when Vlck brought the new timepiece for his ap proval. Tho king could not find any fault with Its working, so ho criticised the figures on the dial. He told the maker that ho had mado a grievous error, as tho figures to de note the hour of 4 should bo four I's. Poor Vlck ventured to tell the king that be was wrong. "I am novor wrong!" thundered tho lrato monarch. Take the clock away and correct tho mistake at once upon pain of my dis pleasure!" Vlck had to do as bo was told, with tho result that all our timepieces hnvo the fourth hour labeled I III Instead of IV, as should bo the case If tho correct numeration were followed. How many people have tho slightest notion why sixty seconds make a min ute and why the hour Is divided lntu sixty minutes, and so on? Why aro thero not ten hours to tho day and ten to the night? Tho reason Is very simple. It is be cause the poople of Babylon reckoned not only by a decimal system of nota tion, but also by n sexagesimal sys tem. That Is to Bay, they not only reckoned by tens, but also by sixties. The 'Babylonians wero very clever peo ple, and they saw that the decimal sys tem was by no means the best. They knew that no number bad so many divisors as has sixty. How about the division of the day Into hours? The Babylonians began by comparing the progress mado by the sun on its dully Journey to the dlstnnce covered by a good walker, this being done at tho time of the equinox. The astronomers divided the sun's Journey into twenty-four parsangs, whence our hours. The Babylonlnn 8ystcm was adopted by tho Greeks. It is one of the most remarkable facts of history that the system has survived through every change mado Blnce tho days of Baby lonia. When tho the French revolu tionized nil weights and measures, go ing so for as to alter the days of the week, still they left tho old system of notation so far as regarded the reckon ing of tho flight of time. Even our own lovers of tho decimal notation do not suggest Uiat'tlic old sexagesimal meth od of reckoning time should bo altered, Pedrson's Weekly. Condensed.
