*rrt WALTER SCOTT? DOQS
—
famous Author Was Especially Foe#
o? These and His Other Pet*
at Aobotsford.
One of my pleasant recollections t<
that of seeing Sir Walter Scott out on
e stroll with his dogs; the scene be
ing In the neighborhood of Abbots
ford. In the summer of 1324. while as
yet the gloom of misfortune had not
clouded the mind of the great man.
There he was llmptng gaily along with
his pet companions amid the rural
•cenes which he had tolled to secure
and loved so dearly
Scott's fondness for animats baa
perhaps never been sufficiently
acknowledged. It. was with him a
kind of second nature, and appears te
hare been Implanted when as a -htld
he was sent on a visit to the house of
his grandfather. Robert Scott, at San
dyknowe. In the neighborhood of Dry
burgh. Here, amid flocks of sheep and
lambs, talked to and fondled by shep
herds and ewe milkers, and reveling
with collies, he was Impressed with i
degree ef affectionate feeling for ani
mals which lasted through lire At a
■ubsequent visit to Sandy knows, when
his grandfather had passed awav ind
the farm operations were administer
ed by "Uncle Thomas," he was pro
vided with a Shetland pony to tide
upon. The pony was little large?
than many a Newfoundland dog It
walked freely Into the house and wag
regularly fed from the boy's hand. He
soon learned to ride the little pony
well, and often alarmed "Aunt Jenny"
by cantering over the rough places In
the neighborhood. Such were the be
ginnings of Scott’s intercourse with
animals. Growing up, there was some
thing extraordinary In his attachment
'to hla dogs, his horses, hla ponies and
his cats; all of which were treated by
him, each in Its own sphere, as ifgree
able companions, and which were at
tached to him in turn.—W Cham

ORIGIN OF OUR CALENDAR
Story #f the Year and Its 3aya, as
Now Constituted, Told

The Julian year consists ef S6#H

teoonds the solar year of IIS days I
tours 4t minute# 46 seconds. In wo
icquenoe of this, the equinox in the
lours# of a few centuries tell back cod'
tlderably. In the time of Julius Cae
inr, It corresponded to Marsh It
tnd by the sixteenth century (t had
retrogarded to Mareh LL It was at
'this time that a physician ef Verona
tamed Ghlraldl proposed a plan far
unending the calendar. He died be
(ore he had opportunity te carry It
forward, but bis brother presented It
to Pope Gregory XHI., who assembled
number of learned men te discuss It
it was passed upon favorably and
adopted, and thus was given to ths
[world what has since been known as
.the Gregorian calendar. In 15SJ Greg
pry Issued a brief, apolishlng the Julian
calendar In all Catholic conn tries, and
introducing tbs reformed ene.
j The reform ef the Gergorlan o* new
ea the Julian or old, consisted in
dropping ten days after October 4.
IMS, te that the 18th was reckoned
toe mediately after the 4th. Every one
hundredth your, which, by the old style
was n leap year, was to be a nominee
year, the fourth eontnry, divisible by
•our, excepted; that is, 1M0 was to re
■uOa s leap year, bat 17M, IdOt and
I9M were aot to be reckoned aa such,
while SOM was to be reckoned.
| lx this calendar the length of the
■alar year is taken to be MS days 8
hours 4t minutes end IS seconds, the
difference between which and the true
length to immaterial.—1The Christie*

Standard time has been so long la
■so overywhere in the United States
that meat people appear te have for
gotten, If they over knew, that it was
based upon the time at Greenwich, The
hour divisions were so arranged that
New Yerk, or eastern time, is exactly
five hours behind London; central
time is six hours behind London, and
ss on. The tendency is evidently al
most universally te accept the Green
wich, meridian as the starting point,
and to base all caleuHtlons of time
os it Although the United States
maintains its own observatory at
Washington, and preparo sits own nau
tical data, nevertheless, for all prac
tical purposes Greenwich time and
calculations based ea Greenwich
time, are universally need in both tho
navy and the merchant marine. While
it might reasonably be expected that
there would be seme sentiment and
national prejudice against the accep
tance of Greenwich time as the stan
dard all ever the world, the practical
benefits of a universal standard are
loo obvious to be ignored.
Heeps for Children.
1 The opinion Is expressed by men
who have made a study of exercises
dor health, that U la a pity the skip
'ptng-rope and hoop have gone out of
fashion for children. <
j It ia suggested they are more excel
lent mediums for the physical develop
ment than bicycles and roller skates
The fact that small children are al
lowed to have blcycloe, and conse
quently make no use of nature's
means of progression, is offered as as
objection to them.
| The skipping-rope and hoop requirs
them to run and walk. Young chil

wnh'pains in my leftside, and would
aften almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
out then I would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the wctnan’s tonic, so he
oought me a bottle and 1 began using it,
It did me more good than all the medi
cines I had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
:ry Cardui, and they all say they have
oeen benefited by its use. There never
oas been, and never wilt be, a medicine
co compare with Cardui. 1 believe ct is
a good medicine for all womanly trou

For over 50 years, Cardui has been re

weak women up to health and strength,
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial,
