How Nation Suit the Convenience of the Traveling Public. The whole German empire has a uni form time, adopted April 1, 1893, the central European time, so called, which Is exactly one hour faster than the time of the Greenwich meridian. The same standard Is In use la Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden that Is, In all the countries which are traversed some where near their center from east to west by the fifteenth meridian east of Greenwich. The West European time is the time of the Greenwich meridian and la used In England, Holland, Belgium, ,Lum embourg and Spain. France out of na tional vanity holds to the time of Paris both for herself and for her colonies In Algiers and Tunis, although this time Is only nine minutes faster than Greenwich time. It Is a peculiar cir cumstance that the French, who are called "behind the times" in many things, should persist so obstinately in being a few minutes-ahead of the En glish on the clock. The East European time is tne same as the time of St Pe- tereburg, which is two hours, one mln ute ana tnirteen seconds faster than Greenwich time. This standard Is used, in European Russia, Turkey In Europe, Koumania and Burgaria In Cape Colony the railway standard time Is an hour and a half faster than Greenwich time, in Japan nine hours faster. Australia has four different stand' ards East Australia, eight hours fast er than Greenwich; South Australia, nine Hours; Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania, ten hours, and New Zealand, eleven and one-half hours. The division of the day Into twenty- four hours (from one midnight to an other) has been officially established in Italy, Belgium, Canada and British In dla. At present, however, only for use in railway and telegraphic communlca tion. in tne United States the railroad time is divided Into four zones, called eastern, central, mountain and Pacific, which, reckoned from east to west, are exactly five, six, seven and eight hours lower than Greenwich time. These standards have also been officially adopted In Canada. The necessity of adopting a uniform tandard of tlme-wlth which the local time of all places may be compared had been felt for many years in the United States and became urgent with the In crease of facilities for communication. The differences of local time arise front the use of solar motion as a time meas urer. We call the time noon when the sun Is opposite the meridian of the place where we are living, and, as a conse quence of the sun's apparent motion from east to west the more easterly of two places will have the earlier time, the difference In hours being exactly one-fifteenth of the longitudinal differ noe In degrees. In other words, 15 de grees of longitude correspond to a time difference of exactly one hour, as there are 300 degrees In the earth's circum ference, which divided by twenty-four hours gives 15 degrees to an hour.

Writ for Free Booklet SHERMAN CLAY & CO. SPOKANE, Wash, SEATTLE, Wash. PORTLAND, Oregon The Crltlo at the Keys. Types and typewriters are prone to error, as every editor knows. A Kan sas paper tells of a lawyer who dic tated to his stenographer the phrase, "being the direct result of an act of God." In the typewritten copy he found, "being the direct result of an active God." A writer of fiction who deals with the life of Kentucky and Tennessee moun taineers had an even more amusing ex perlence, which the New York Evening Post records. She had encountered great dfficulty in finding a stenograph' er who combined technical skill with a reasonable degree of . Intelligence. One young lady after another was tried. Finally appeared one of supe rior demeanor and looks, whose queen ns:e seir-possession seemed to bode well. In the 'course of their first session the author dictated considerable dia logue in the characteristic slovenly dia lect of the mountaineers, and among other phrases this one: "Hit's him !" When the "clean copy" wag placed before her, she found this colloquial Ism rendered as: "It is he." . And all the rest of the dialogue was similarly "corrected." The second ses sion with the queen-like stenographer was postponed indefinitely. P. N. U. No. 19-07 I TTTHEN writing? to advertisers please I f mention this paper. . - Roeke that Float la Water. A geologist who Is well up In his business can name a dozen or twenty different specimens of rocks and min erals that have less specific gravity than water, and which will, if tossed Into that element, float on the surface.

"Why, Aunt Fllura, Isn't that an un usually large soup-kettle?" asked the caller, wltba calcualting glance at the stove on her passage across the kitchen. "If you're Just looking at the kittle, it does seem plumb sizable," said Aunt Fllura, calmly; "but when yon cast your looks on the extents and pliabili ty of my Enoch's mouth, I reckon 'twon't look any too large, that kittle won't" v Properly Cenaored.

"Before this article could appear, the censor changed that sentence to : " 'And over the desk of bis highness's tent is a large map of the theater of war.'"

I One oi the Important Duties oi .Physicians and the Well-informed of the World la to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company lias become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to Bupply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known tinder the name' of Byrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the fijont of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name--Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Ifigs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given sat isfaction to millions.
