Firing ft Noon Gun nt Teheran, Per sia Very Good Time In Africa if There Is a Telegraph Line to Greenwhich Four Kinds of Rail road Timo in El Paso. From the Now Yolk Sun. The ordinary method of reckoning time In Mohammedan countries Is from sunset to sunset. Twelve o'clock Is at sunset, and this Is the beginning of the day. Two periods of twelve hours then nass till the next sunset, whereupon overyhody sets his watch, if he has one, backwntd or forward, according to the season. Of course, accurate time Is Imposslhlo under such n system. The teloKraphs and rail roads In Syrln. for example, keep any thing Jnit exact time, though It might lie procured from the observatory at Ueyrout, which uses Its mean time. In Teheran. Persia, a midday pun Is fired by the time shown on a dial, and this in spite of the fact that the correct local mean time might he procured nt the telegraph olllce. which Is regulated dally by a time signal from Greenwich and Is the time standard for all tele graphic business. Hut the merchants and the street car company keep gun time, and the railroad trains do not seem to require a time table at all, ns they seldom start until full or required to start by a government order. There are out of the way parts of the world that keep very good time, be cause their clocks are regulated by telegraph from Greenwich and then the Greenwich mean time is reduced to local time according to longitude dif ference. Thus, at Logos and the Gold Coast, West Africa, the local time Is checked dally by telegraph from Greenwich and transmitted to all the telegraph olllces In the colonics. The time at Accra Is only forty-six seconds slower than that of Greenwich, and Is the time used throughout the Gold Coast. IX CHINA. Most any sort of time Is kept In China. As a rule, the Chinese use an apparent sun time obtained from sun dials. The foreigners at the ports on the coast use an approximate local time calculated from the Shanghai timo, supplied by the telegraph com panies. In the great city of Tientsin, with a million Inhabitants the timo is determined by the municipal chrono meter, which is the town-hall clock. It Is supposed to be regulated every Sat urday, when the community may set their watches, but It has been known to be In error nt least three minutes. Last December was the time when all the towns In Colombia were ex pected, thereafter, to usa tho time of Bogota, the capital. With this respon sibility upon them it Is hoped that the public clocks of that city will Improve in their timekeeping, for visitors ut Hogoln say It Is nothing unusual for the public clocks to disagree by fully a quarter of an hour. In India, the standard time for the whole of the peninsula is the mean time of the Madras Observatory, and this time Is used on through lines of railroad, and In recording the time of sending telegrams to foreign countries. Local time Is, however, used In most towns and villages, and It is announced by clocks striking, gongs, bells nnd guns, the signals being given from churches, treasury buildings, forts and telegraph olllces. The local clocks are set dally by the time telegraphed from Madras, and each telegraph office has a closely printed table, tilling about fifty pages, giving the different be tween Madras and local time for all the government telegraph ofllces In In dia. TWO STANDARDS. Not a few countries constantly use two standards of time. This is not troublesome nt all when we consider that, before the adoption of the hour zones, the railroads across our own continent employed about seventy standards of time In making up their time tables. Railroads and telegraphs throughout Spain use Madrid time, but for all other purposes the official time When a mother thinks she is going to die and rather wishes she could, what happen to the child? Where else shall the child get the love, kindness and care that is to ripen it into useful, happy maturity? Where is the husband to turn for the coin fort of home- it... .,.,. l.

Nobody's maybe cer tainly not the child'. Either the mother or father can write to Dr. Pierce and receive medical advice free. Thousands have done it Thousands of homes have been made happy by it. Thousands of weak women Buffering with the pains and debilitating drains of a diseased condition of the dis tinctly feminine organism have followed Dr. Pierce's advice and become again bloom, ing, vigorous, loving, cheerful and loved. Dr. R. V. Pierce is chief consulting phy. sician at the world-famous Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Uuffalo. N. Y., and during his thirty years' practice here developed his great family medicines Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Dr. Pierce' Pleasant Pellets, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery. Mrs. Clsus Nelson, of Pico Heights. ja An. f:dei, Cl.. Box 31, writes; " I semi you ray pic ure taken with ray little boy. I do not look so ad now as I do in the picture) I was sick then and I thought ray days would not be long, but your kindness and medicine would not let me die. You have ray lieart-felt thanks for your klqdly adrice to me In ray sickntsi; alto for your book which I received two years ago, and which I could not do without. It is nil the Doc tor I hate had since I got it. I had female trouble, and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, together with the advice given in his book, cured me of fire yesrs' sickness." The book Mrs. Nelson mentions is Dr, Pierce's 1,000 page " Medical Adviser," the most useful "doctor book" published. A copy in stiff paper-covers sent on receipt of it one-cent stamps to pay expense of walling only, In cloth-binding ten stamps extra. VttK. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. SjSjM i . A "'MliV YMiSWS II fs mMmkM Powder CO., M vo. Is determined by the meridian of each locality. Throughout Russia, St. Pet ersburg time Is used for telegraphic purposes, nnd each place has Its own local time besides. In Portugal the country towns keep their locnl timo very roughly, but Lisbon nnd the rull toad and telegraph services have the time of the Tapada Hoyal Observa tory. There Is considerable confusion In the Netherlands, and It one's watch does not agree with the town clock as he travels through the Innd It doesn't follow thnt he has a poor timekeeper. In the railroad stations, telegraph and post olllces the exact time of the Greenwich Observatory will be found. In many towns Amsterdam time Is In use. nnd It Is about twenty minutes faster than tellable clocks In mnny other towns that use Greenwich time; nnd still other towns use their own loenl time, so the Netherlands do not lack for variety In time standards. Kvery plncc In Newfoundland uses St. .lohn's time for all purposes, except ing Heart s Content, which has special privileges as n cable station. For local purposes this little town employs local t'nie. Kvery day it receives a signal from Loudon giving the Greenwich time, and as the difference In time be tween the two points Is ? hours, 33 minutes and 33 seconds, It Is only nec essary to keep the local clock that much slow on Greenwich time to have the exact local time. Hut In tho cable ct'lee all foreign hus'ne.is Is trans mitted with Greenwich lime. IN ENGLAND. In Great Hrltaiu Greenwich mean time Is the standard, and Is used for a!', purposes nearly everywhere. Among the few exceptions Is the city of Can terbury, which tiscs a time about four minutes fast on Greenwich, and clocks at - few railroad stations are kept one or two minutes fast. Ireland uses the time of Dublin, nnd so all the clocks In the island are 23 minutes 2J seconds slow on Greenwich time. The offlclnl time throughout Argen tina Is that of the city of Cordova, which Is telegraphed every day to con trol the timepieces In the various clti . It Is used everywhere In the rallrotl and telegraph otllees, but many citi zens m the provinces mefcr to us'i local timo of doubtful accuracy. The people of the Hawaiian Islands try to keep their timepieces 10 hours 30 min utes slower than those of Greenwich and call this standard time. At Be lize, Hrltlsh Honduras, the clock over the Court House, which furnishes the time for th town. Is usually regulated ! ,v thf time kept by the ships In the harbor. The town of Nukualofa, which furnishes the time for the en tire Tong.i group, Is in west longitude, but b'eius-e nil business relations, ex cept w'th ftunna, are with nla.es 'u cast !oii',iluc, the east longitude time for the nay of the week and mon'b. is kept. AMERICAN VARIETY. We have plenty of time variety In cur own country. For example, any town that happens to be on the divid ing line between two of tho hour-tlm . zones will hu-e Its own tlK-.e, and. :n aiK'lthn. at the -.illronl station tnei. will be two time", differing by an hour, one for the west and the other for the east bound trains. The city of El Pas co labors under the embarrassment of four kinds of railroad time. It has central time for the Atlnntie section of the Southern Pacific, Pacific time for the Pacific section of the same road, Mountain time for the Santa Fe and City of Mexico time for the Mexican Central, all the railroads of Mexico be ing run on the time of the capital.
