Great Britain is going to levy a

going to do't to itself.
A New York court lias ruled t iat
a baby lias a perfect right to cry.
But did the court over notice a baby
that worri«.«d a*>out the right.
Aud the worst oi it is that prob
ably iho Pennsylvania, Massachu

find out how it happened, even by
questioning the'r husbands.

SAYINGS OK STATESMEN
I*. S. Senator Haury Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts — "Every
dispassionate student of history, as
well as every nian who has had a
shir? in the work of legislation,
may rightfully deprecate the indis
criminate censure and the consis
tent belittling which pursue legis
lative bodies. The press of Eng
land treats its parliament seyerly
euough, although on the whole
with more respect thau is the case
with the American press in re
gard to the American congress. But
running through English novels and
essays we find as a rule the same
sneer at the representatives of
the people as we do here. Very
generally, both in this country and
abroad, those who write for the
public seem to start with the pro
position that to be a member of
congress or a member of parliament
or a member of the chamber of de
puties ia France, implies some nec
essary inferiority of mind or char
acter To inflict upon the public
servant who is a wrongdoer the
severest reprobation is necessary for
the protection of the community,
but for this very reason we should
be extremely careful that no re
probation should be visited unjustly
on any public man. It is an evil
thing to betray the public trust,
but it is an equally evil thing to
pour wholesale condemnation upon
the hoad of every man in public
life, good and bad alike. That
which suffers mo6t Irom aa Injustice
like this la the long run is not
the public servant who has been
unfairly dealt with, for the individu
al passes quickly, but the country
Itself. After all, the voters make
the representative. If he is not

WHY THERE ARE JUST
00 MINUTES IX EVERY HOUR
The division of an hour into
sixtv minutes is of ancient Baby
Ionic origin and has survived the
reforms applied *o notation in the
ccurso of the world's progress
Along with the decimal system in
ancient Bablylou thero was the sex
agesimal system based upon the
couut by sixties and originating in
the discovery that there is no num
ber which has so many divisors as
sixty. It can be divided b.v 2, 3,
4, 5. G, 10 12, 15 and 20.
Babylonians divided th« sun's
path into equal sections the latter
r.preseating about 4 miles. The
astronomers of that day compared
the progress of the sun during one
hour to the progress made by a
gocd walker during the same per
iod of time, each accomplishing
one parasang.
The whole course of the sun was
24 uar;i£aag3, or 360 degrees, and
each parasanc or hour was sub
divided Into GO miuutes.
llipparchus, the Greek philoso
pher, who lived 150 B. C. intro
duced the Babylonian hour into
Europe, and carried along by tra
ditional knowledge down through
the Middle ages, it survived the
French revolution, which endeavor
ed to reduce every measur to de
cimal system of reckoning, so that
the measure of time continues
sexagesimal or Babylonian.—Ex

MUCH TRAVELED HAT
IS NOW IX FAIRBANKS
Tht Reliance brought a hat to
Fairbanks. Whether It came
lis "Fresh Moat," Perishables,"
"Fragile," or just plain hat cannot
be ascertained from tho appearance
of the ltd- It has picture poet
cards, photos, poetry, prose, and
about everj: other conceivable thing
attached to It. It started from
San Francisco on the 12th of July
and has been ou the road ever
since.
It has gone to the Atlantic, b<u;k
to the Pacific, up to Alaska, and
is now bound for the war zone.
The hat started from the San Fran
cisco exposition and where It will
end nobody knows. It will leave an
the mail early In the morning for
Cordova and Chitina over the big
trail. The tags are many and var
ious that decorate It, but the Am
erican Yukon Navigation company
and the Alaska steamora of that
concern havo done much to maJce
tho decorations attractive.
Good-bye, old lid. Good lack to
Lux is Just tho thing for doing
a Uttle laundering while traveling.
