The Invention of double entry book keeping early In ftie fifteenth century by the merchants nnd bankers of Ven ice gave to the commerce of Kurope an Invaluable trade Instrument, and one Without ' which Hie great commercial enterprises of the Inter centuries could hardly have existed. And so It has been on down to the present time; lucre litis been n parallel progress between the accomplishments of commerce and the science of ac counting, and It Is known to every man In business (hat the former could not continue without the latter. Even the most unbusinesslike people know this much, and we can hardly Imagine any one silly enough tq attempt to carry on any kind of a business enterprise without keeping books.

FLOWERS' HOURS OF SLEEP That They Dlf.'er Is a rroof of Adaptability of Everythlnoi In Nature. That flowers sleep Is evident Ip thi most casual observer. The beautiful daisy opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, whence Its name "day's eye." The morning glory opens Its .flower with the day. The "four o'cloclt" awakes at four o'clock In the morning; but closes Its eyes in the middle of the tiny, and the dandelion Is In full bloom ciily while there Is strong tight. The habit of some flowers Is certainly curi ous, and furnishes one of the many instances which prove the singular adaptability of everything 111 nature. The reason Is found In the method by which this class of flowori Is fertilized. Flowers which are fertilized by night flying Insects derive no Advan tage from being open by day; and, on Hie other hand, those which tire fer tilized by bees Would gain nothing by being open nt night. Nuy, It would be n disadvantage, because It would ren der them liable to be robbed of their honey nnd pollen by Insects which are Incapable of fertilizing them. It Is possible, then, that the closing of flow ers may have reference to the habit of Insects, nnd It may be observed, also, in support of this, that wind-fertilized flowers, never sleep. Blind Horses. The manner In which blind horses get about without coming to more harm than they do Is remarkable. They rarely, If ever, hit their heads against a fence or stone wall, and will sheer off when they come near one. It appears from careful obser vation that It Is neither shade hor shelter which wurns them of the dan ger. On un nbsolutely sunless and windless day their behavior Is the same. Their olfactory nerves doubt less become very sensitive, for they will poke their heads downward In scinch of water fifty yards heforo they come to n stream crossing the road way. It cannot be an abnormally devel oped sense of hearing which lends Hicni to do till", for they will net alike though the water be a stagnant pool. Men who have been blind for any great length of time develop some what similar Instincts to blind horses. DAVIS-KASER'S August Sale Begins Friday,-August 1.
