The arr. -t of a woman tor mokng on the streets of Chicago makes t quite evident that the brute man las not lost all of his old tyranmal instinct. It is a sign of the elfish masculine being that he vants to do all of the smoking in his world, though he is quite willing to let the other sex have all of it in the next. No doubt this outrageous action of the Chicago police v ill arouse the suffragist si-ters to a vociferous protest. The desire to
be men is what seems to actuate the
"advanced" sisters of the day. But he ran hardly expect to be as 'ood men as those who have been
in the business some thousands of

TIME MEASUREMENT.

The Kgrptian year liegan with the rising of the xtiir Slrlun anil consisted of Srt day There were l-1 months of 80 dars em h, and at the aleai of the year five days were lnterenlatl. All reckonhiK was by this year The festivals were celehrated by It. and as a consequence, like the Ro man festivals of later times, circled around fr m one season to another on account of the omission from the calendar of the quarter day. Notwithstanding this omlsslou the Kfiyptlan seem to have known that the addition of a quarter of a day each year was necessary In order to keep a cornet measurement of time, and their "sothiae cycle." This cycle was a period of ; ! l l vague or 1,4(10 true years, and was calhnl "tffthtar" because Its thinning was And at a date when the dig star, known by the Egyptians as Sothls, rose with the sun im the Ilrst of Thoth, whtch was the eoiiiineneement of their year This rlhlng of Sirius and the sun on the first of Thoth took place in the years H. C. and B. C la-.-.', and also la 13S A. D. The Kgypllaoa knew that the last named year was the first of a sothiar cycle. The year U. C. llVJ'J was also prohahly known as such, hut we have no knowledge whatever re prdtOfl B 0 VTB8.

The ancient mirthmen reckoned by win tcrs, and the lieginning of their year was probably d .L-d from the Kith of Ooaobar, The featlval hi honor of Thor was held in midwinter, alxnit our t'hri-tmas time, and In fact, was the origin of the Christian holiday merrymaking.

In the Jewish ehr mologjr except In so far

It seems a very easy and natural thing
for u to now use a year as a unit of time
measurement, hut If one would tut stop to
think a moment he would readily see how
dillicult It must have lieen originally to
have formed that unit with nothing but space upon which ti operate. Kven as late
is 450 U. C Herodotus rofcrrd to a century
as three generations, and formerly In near-
lv all countries the phrase five winters r
three summers was used instead of the ex presslon of so many years In the early times the elapse of historical events was chroiiichsl from central figures, ns kings or great chieftains who had won renown.
In Homo and Athens reference was made to a magistrate when an occurrence of that, year was mentioned, and as those officers wen- elected annually the method was a
very convenient one. In the same way
liahv Ionian nnd Assyrian events were
chronicled from the term of office of the
limu much more frequently than from the
reigns of .the kings. Such systems, hOW-l evi r, were ns-ossarlly very limited in their aapa, and the want of a U'tter earlier
hroiiology has been f, It In the study of
authentic ancient history.
The grout progress that was made in astronomy by China and Habylnnia at the daw n of civilization opened the way for a Is'tter time uieae irement. Men's views were broadened, and the Invention of eras was begun. 1 he Chinese Iwgan a time compunction that Is undoubtedly prehls toric, for their records of the eiipses that have been observtsl show a chronology of at least 4, Too jiars duration, and their hlsi rial, s nssert tliat they had a year measurement similar to our Julian system folly -j.oimi H.
