STANDARD TIME.

*• Ascertain, and Promulgate It fa ■ Costly Task. * ■“What time is it?” Few questions are more common than this, and yet (each day the United States government goes to a great expense in giving it an ©fficlal answer. To ascertain the instant when it is noon on the seventyfifth meridian and to send that information all over the country is a great •nd a costly t&sk. The astronomical Observatory in Washington computes the true time, which is thence transmitted by electricity to every important city and town. About five minutes before the Washington hoop the telegraph companies cot off all their regular business except on lines where they have more than one wire. They then connect all important points, from which there may be numberless ramifications, with an electric wire going into the great clock In the observatory so that all over the country its tickings may be beard. For the ten seconds just before 12 o’clock there Is silence, which is broken by the **noon beat.” Regular business is than resumed. In some cities the wires connect with • time ball which drops jrlth the noon beat. The time ball in Washington over the state, wjw and navy department building Js three feet in diameter and can from all parts of the city. Crowds frequently gather about to see fall, a distance of 21 feet, high in the air. man vbom some of the spectators suppose to be dropping the ball is merely there to hoist it again to its place. In the building beneath are 23 clocks which are each day automatically corrected by ft. An electrical device ‘•seta” them, placing hour, min.ute and second hands exactly vertical at the instant the ball drops. The hands that are too fast are pushed back, and those that •re slow are thrust forward. Although Washington is on the sev-enty-seventh meridian, the noon hour is for convenience computed for the seventy-fifth, the time standard for the eastern part of the United States. In the central belt, which is governed by the ninetieth meridian, the signal from Washington means 11 o'clock. In the Rocky mountain belt it is 10 o’clock, and on the Pacific coast line it is 9.

FEASTED ON SPARROWS.

A Diet That Did Not Agree With the Crane. “Some time ago I had occasion to observe an Interesting change in the habits and temperament of a crane which had been picked up in the swamps of Arkansas,” said a gentleman from one of the towns on the Mississippi river, ‘“aiuj the change was startling too. The crane was placed In a small parly which was literally filled with English spDF- . rows. These pests did not like the viaItof from the lowlands, and they made assaults on the poor bird. The „ "’•etty fowl, long, slender, pure white and with - he Bt «t®ly stride of a tragedian. The sparrows T ouia B J S ' tematically swoop down on the CraH e In droves, and the attacks were fiefCS and vicious.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.

Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Disease and Makes Astonfsbing Cures. Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and socalled system tonics, Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply. Hyomei is is the scientific and thorough way to cure catarrrh. Killing the germs in the air passages, it enters the blood with the oxygen, destroys the microbes in the blood and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. J. 8. Nugent, treasurer of t’ e American Union Life, Insurance Co, of New York city, writes: “Hyomei has completely cured my daughter of catarrh fron which she has been suffering for years,” Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that B. F, Fendig will agree to rafund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1 00 and consists of an inhaler that jap be carried in the vest pock, et, a medigtpfi dropper and ajuottle of Hyomei. Ths inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei Can be plitaingd for 5o cents. Now Is a good time to cure your.
