Nut actually pertaining to the plant

f the Itrowirg habit among English
eennen of smoking, is the following
xtraet from an Early Victorian
••Inc itbints of Travel in Central Amer-
:: • "I am sorry to say that gen-
erally, the ladies of Central America
nut excepting- Guatemala, smoke—
:nerried ladies, puros, or all tobacco;
sed unmarrried, cigars, or tobacco
wrapped in paper or straw.
"Every gentleman carries in his
pocket a silver case, with a long
string of cotton, steel, and flint, and
•rte of the offices of gallantry is to
'strike a light; by doing it well he
may kindle a flame in a lady's heart;
at all events, to do it bunglingly
would be ill bred. I will not express
sly sentiments on smoking as acus -
tom for the sex. I have recollections
of beauteous lips profaned.
"Nevertheless, even in this I have
seen a lady show her prettiness and
refinement barely touching the straw
with her lips, as it were kissing it
eentiy and taking it away. When a
entleman asks a lady for a light,
este: always removes the cigar from
'.-,r lips.'
Judging from incidents reproduced
'ee the cinematograph, the cigarette
till plays an important part in flir-
tations in Southern America, and it
is all done so gracefully that one
cannot say that the beaut`.ful lips are
profaned. With the picture theatre
re travels easily nowadays.

Dr. Ross, of London, says that old
adage about a "green Christmas," and
"a full graveyard" is a piece of tom
foolery. As a °matter of fact a mild
winter reduces the mortality all over
the country. A white Christmas means
more work for the doctors, dividends
for the undertakers, and over time for
the sextons. A week or two of frosty
weather kills off more old people than
the hottest of summers. The external
cold causes hemmorrhages, and slight
colds and ailments are complicated.
On the other hand, a winter of mild
weather means that thousands of peo-
ple have a passport of life right through
the summer to the next winter.

LD SP CLOCKS,
Crude Devices Mariners Used In
Reckoning Time..
SANDCLASS MOST POPULAR,
if It Were Carefully Attended to the
Skipper Could Tell the Days Fairly
Well, but It Was Often Juggled—The
First Chronometers.
To ascertain the time when at sea is
e,on a mutter of the utmost simplicity,
(tut such was not the case in the old
railing days, and in order to acquire
even the vaguest idea of longitude and
time the seaman bud recourse to curl
sus devices.
Crude as these devices appear coo
pared with present day instruments,
they save the mariner from chaos and
destruction, and even if he could not
name the hour with any degree of cer
minty he at least knew the day of the
week.
Ilelipses of the moon and the post
tions of the stars afforded a little guide
'to the skipper, who was, nevertheless,
greatly handicapped by his Zack of as-
tronomical knowledge and the luferior
quality of his spyglass. Moreover,
eclipses could not be arranged for ev-
ery night In the week, and there were
dark nights when the stars could not
be seen, se various devices had to be
pressed into service.
The most popular form of old sea
cluclt was the snudglass. Many of
these glasses were timed to run toren•
ty-four (tours, ttnd prior to the ship
leaving land the glass wns set exactly
at noon. If it were carefully watched
and turned as soon its the sand ran
dowu the skipper could reckon the
days with fair accuracy.
Side by side with the large glass were
placed half hour uud minute glasses
'1'he tuna at the helm carefully watch.
ed this old sen clock and announced
the time at regular intervals by strik•
Ing a bell. It wns customary to esti•
mate the duration of any incident by
so tunny glasses. "To Hog the glass"
was au operation very congenial to
lazy seamen.. It consisted in turning
the glass before ail the sand had run
down so that the watch was appre
viably shortened.
When the twenty-four hour glass
was employed a little Juggling was In-
dulged in for the purpose of finding
the longitude. The difference between
the twenty-four hour glass and the
time by the sun Was estimated and
this difference was held to represent
the longitude east or west, according
as the son's time might be before or
after the time returned by the glass.
"Taking the sun" was a weird and
wonderful operation. Clumsy quad•
rants were utilized :tad toward mid.
day theea f t iu appeared ou d er
to
perform his solemn duty• After much
screwing of eyes and waggling of the
quadrant the captain would bawl out
to the mate, "Make it — bells!" the
number varying according to personal
idiosyncrasies.
A demand for a more satisfactory
device for estimating time at sea was
responsible for experiments being
muds with pendulum clocks though
ugh
with little success. The interest of
Inventors was aroused when the Eng-
lish government in 1714 offered £100
000 to guy one inventing a method of
reckoning longitude to within a de-
gree. ur sixty miles; £15,000 if within
forty miles and £20,000 if within thirty
wiles.
John Harrison, au obscure Yorkshire
carpenter, who had achieved a local
reputation by repairing and cleaning-;
clocks, came forward with a ebronom
eter which at once attracted attention
Through the intluence of l)r. Halley he
was enabled to make a voyage in a
governthent vessel to Lisbon, where be
succeeded in determining the longitude
to within 1 degree 30 minutes.
For this achievement he wits grant
ed £500 to enable hits to proceed with
his invention. After thirty years' bard
toll he produced u chronometer 00
which the present marine chronometer
is based, His invention was shaped
Tike n large watch, and in 1701 Elar
rison's sou embarked for Jamaica to
order to carry out tests. On the voy
age out the chronometer was only 5.1
seconds in error, and during the whole
trip from Portsmouth to Jamaica and
back the variation was only 1 minute
54.5 seconds
Thi: accuracy of the cbronometet
thus enabled the longitude to be deter•
mined within eighteen miles, a result
which exceeded the admiralty's most
sanguine expectations. After further
demonstrations an act of parliament
was passed in 1705 awarding Harrison
£20,000, half of the money to be paid
as soon as he explained how his time•
keeper was constructed and the re
mainder when the government waF
convinced that these timekeepers could
be made by others. Despite the fur
fitment of these conditions, Harrison
had to wait several years before the
money was paid over.
Larcum Kendal, who had been Bar.
rison's apprentice and who was alt!•
mately his successor, followed on the
lines laid down by his master and pro•
duced a chronometer which was used
by Captain Cook during his daring
voyage in the Resolution. Of this
chronometer Cook wrote, "Our longi-
tude can never be erroneous while we
have so good a guide as Mr. Kendal's
watch.
Various horologists have introduced
do many improvements that little trace
of Harrison's model is to be discerned
in the modern chronometer, though to
him must be assigned the credit of
pointing out the way.

WHEN LIFE SENTENCES
ARE DESIRED,
Remote as the connection may seem,
the advanced age of the Prince Regent
of 13avaria, who is now over 90, makes
it necessary for the Bavarian author-
ities to examine with special care sup-
posed confessions of crime. Among
German peasants the mistaken belief
is current that penal servitude for life
terminates auto„tatically on the death
of the State ruler, with the curious
consequence that offenders in jail for
offences entailing four or five years'
imprisonment -often acuse themselves
of crimes of sufficient seriousness to
incur the punishment of penal servi-
tude for life.
A case of the kind, according to the
New York Sun, occurred not long ago
in Brunswick where according to the
popular idea the coming to the throne
of the legitimate heir, the Duke of
Cumberland, would mean the setting
free of those in prison for penal servi-
tude for life. One convict charged
himself with a murder, and as his
statements tallied fairly with the cir-
cumstances of the crime he was found
guilty and sentenced to fifteen years'
penal servitude.
Very soon the same convict accused
himself of other crimes, until at length
the authorities became suspicious and
investigation proved that his object
was to obtain a sentence of penal ser-
vitude for life in the confident expect-
ation that with a change of dynasty
his term would come to an end.
Children are much more likely to•
contract the diseases when they have
colds. Whooping cough, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and consumption are dis-
eases that are often contracted when
the child has a cold. That is why all
medical authorities say beware of colds.
For the quick cure of colds you will
find nothing better than Chamberlain's
Cough remedy. It can always be de-
pended upon and is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by all dealers.
