"GREENWICH TIME."
Home-kbepixo youth" rarely guess
irhen they go abroad to "swim in a
gondola" and perform other feats of
similar kind, that one of their most
troublesomo tasks will be found in the
daily endeavor to keep time with the
run. Yet nothing is more certain than
that days and hours have a knack of
getting into a hopeless muddle during a
rapid railway ride due east. On a steam
boat journey cither to east or west there
is less confusion, for the height of the
sun is taken xn every clear day. The
time problem put in a familiar way by
the old ballad writer has been set in a
more startling light by a modern French
novelist. The unknown author of " King
Jojinmdthe Abbot of Canterbury,"
xfiases the sKophcrdLwho personates the
latter tell the capricious tyrant in an
swer to tho second of his three ques
tions, " How soone may I ride the whole
world about?"
You must rise with the sun, and ride with
the same,
Until the nozt morning: be rlscth ngroino:
And then your Grace need not make any
doubt,
But In twenty-four hours you'll ride it about."
How far tho writer of this "Derry
down" ballad who evidently rewrote
an earlier work, was acquainted with
the Copernican system is not ascer
tained, but for the purpose of his story
he adopts the convenient if accurate
theory that the sun moves and not the
earth, which rested, like many more
blunders, on tho evidence of the senses.
The modern French novelist is scien
tifically accurate in the scheme of his
tory. In detail M. Jules Verne fre
quently errs, as when he speaks of tho
Entomological Society as having been
founded "for the destruction of noxious
insects," but the fact on which his
story is founded is mathematically cor
rect. Fhineas Fogg, when he made his
bet to go round the world in eighty
days had no idea that the relation be
tween sun and earth would help him to
win what he at one moment thought a
lost wager. Carefully keeping count of
time he imagines that he must have lost;
that he arrived in London on Sunday
instead of Saturday; that his great bet is
fsfeited, and that he is ruined. Send
ing for a clergyman to marry him, he
discovers that his bet is not lost, that it
is Saturday instead of Sunday. How
this comes about is very easy of expla
nation. Fogg, instead of "riding with
the sun," that is from cast to west, rode
for eighty days against it, and thus,
despite his carefully-kept itinerary,
gained a day without knowing it. Isy
going to the eastward he earned four
minutes for every degree ol longitude
ke crossed, and as M. Jules Verne
naively explains, for the benefit of such
o&ghis countrymen as knew not geo
graphy, there aro three hundred and
sixty of these degrees on tho terrestrial
circumference, and these three hundred
and sixty degrees multiplied by four
minutes yield precisely twenty-four
hours the day unconsciously gained.
In other "words, while Fhineas Fogg,
traveling eastward, saw the sun at the
meridian eighty times, his friends who
"remained in London only saw it pass
seventy-nine times. This is why, on
the day which was Saturday and not
Sunday, as Fogjr thought, these friends
were waiting for him at tho Reform
Club. In short, the twenty-four hours
which would have been spent in riding
round the woria witn tne sun, were
gained by riding round it in the oppo
site direction in eighty days.
Few who have read M. Verne's do-
lightful book have forgotten either
Passepartout, Fhineas Fogg's French
Talct, the possessor of the great silver
family watch, or his rage when the de
tective Hxtells him at Suez that the
highly-prized heirloom is more than
two hours slow. Fix explains that
; Suez time is faster than London time,
and that Passepartout must set his
watch by the ruling meridian of each
country. " I alter my watch," screams
the "valet; "never." "Very well,
then, it will no longer agree with the
sun," replies Fix. " Then so much the
worse for the sun. It will be he who
has gone wrong." The term " ruling
meridian" is. used advisedly, for, as
the rapidity of communication in
creases, the fashion or keeping one
railway time in each country is found
absolutely necessary. The difference
between the time of l:'r;o towns in a
small country like nv. and is not so
startling as that between London and
Eji that is, from noon to midnight
'but quite appreciable, nevertheless.
- It is not possible to experience within
the limits of Great Britain the peculiar
sensation produced at New York bv
hearing which horse has won the Derby
before eleven o'clock in the morning of
the eventful day, or of discussing and
paying bets over a Harvard and Oxford
Boat race daring luncheon by the Hud
sonthe race being set for five o'clock
in the afternoon on the Thames. Still
it would be possible to telegraph a
speech to Edinburgh, before apparently
it was spoken in London, the differ
ance of longitude between Greenwich
and Edinburgh being three degrees
and eleven minutes equivalent to
twelve minutes and forty-four seconds
of time. Greenwich is specially men
tioned in this place because of a little
difficulty which arises in speaking of
London-time." In London Green
wich time is kept, albeit true London
time is twenty seconds slower, the
great city lying westward of the ruling
meridian. SS over the world, how
" ever, London time is synonymous with
"Greenwich time, the small difference

mpt were made to keep local time
on the crowded lines of Great Britain.
Severely punctual persons, however.
should recollect the difference in time
between London and Plymouth, for in
stance, when tbeyhavo appointments

vails on English and Scotch railways,
but not in the sister island. In this
respect justice has been done to Ire
land, for if there is no Parliament on
College-Green, Dublin time is kept on
Irish railways, tho difference between
Dublin and Greenwich time being
twenty-five minutes and twenty sec
onds. In moving rapidly about Europe, the
necessity of having only one railway
time for each country, is amply recog
nized. This rulo generally obtains,
Paris time, which is nine minutes and
a quarter earlier than that of Green
wich, prevails in France; Amsterdam
time in Holland; Prague timo in Aus
tria; Pcsth time in Hungary; Roman
time in Italy; Mannheim time in the
Palatinate, and St. Petersburg time in
Russia. The latter is two hours and
one minute before that of London; so
that the watch of the traveler going
eastward astonishes him at Suez, as did
his Passepartout, by being two hours
and ten minutes slow, if he havo not
been prudent enough to set it by tho
ruling meridian of every country he has
traveled through.
A similar but opposite experience is
made in going from London to New
York, and thence across the Continent
to San Francisco. If it were not, how
ever, for tho telltale watch, everything
would appear simple and natural
enough. It is when the test of the tel
egraph is applied that strange results
are obtained. It is curious to note that a
telegram sent from London to San Fran
cisco at noon arrives at about four o'clock
in the morning, and that one sent at tho
same moment to Calcutta at about six
o'clock in the evening. Amusing and
odd results, besides the printing of
speeches before the date of which they
are uttered, arise from the variation
of timo and tho earth's surface. Greet
ings sent from festivo banquets in the
United States by telegraph to England
arrive in the dead of the night; and an

DNFrNISnED BUSINESS.
Usdek this head the Committee on
Inland Navigation made their report on
tho case of Urothor Enhancer Simmons,
who was charged by sevoral white per
sons with having taken a jug of vino
gar from a grocery store. The com
mittee's report was full and exhaustive,
and concluded as follows:
" Bruddcr Simmons had no difficulty
in 'stablishin' de fack dathe had a cab
bage under his arm when he entered
dat grocery. He placed dat cabbage on
do counter beside de jug. When he
went out ho war talkin' pollyticks, an'
his mind war busy wid de Presidential
queshun. In a moment of absent-mindedness
ho picks up do jug instead of de
cabbage an' walks out, an' dat's do
long an 'short of de story. It am do
opinyun of dis committee dat he didn'
mean to do it."
"Idoan' believe dat Brudder Sim
mons would steal a jug o' vinegar in de
day-time," remarked the President, as
ho received tho report, "but I feel it
my dooty to caushun him to bo
more kecrful in do fuchur. De likoness
between jugs an' cabbages am not so
clus dat ho need eber make do samo
mistake again."
KEPUDIATED.
The Rev. Penstock hero arose to a
question of privilege. He said he had
been instrumental in inducing the Club
to sanction an almanac printed for the
exclusive uso of the colored people. Ho
was one of tho committee to report on
tho number of eclipses which the said
almanac should contain, and ho had fur
nished a poem of his own composition
to embellish at least one of its pages.
Ho now desired to say that he repudi
ated the almanac from page one to the
mad-dog cure on the last cover. None
of the eclipses had occurred on time, or,
in fact, at all. Moonlight nights had
been run in for all sorts of weather, and
his poem had been cut to pieces and
made to do duty for a liver-pad adver
tisement- In several places the name
of tho club had been printed Lime
Kill," and in a brief history of the or
ganization Whalebone Honker was
down as a deacon, Samuel Shin was
said to be a missionary, and Saleratus
Spencer was marked as deceased. He
would offer a resolution repudiating tho
almanac and its maker.
The resolution was voted on without
discussion, and was unanimously
adopted.

badly advised in ceasing its periodical
visits to the North of Scotland As a
foreign traveler that gentle bird was at
one time somewhat of a celebrity.
When tired of diving for lamp-fish in
the northern seas, or possibly precluded
from doing so by the 'phenomenon
known as ice, he wonld make a trip to
such southern latitudes as Greenland,
Norway, Spitzbergen and the extreme
north of Great Britain, occasionally ac
companied by his spouse, who, by way
of a souvenir, would lay an egg in some
cleft above high water. Two such me
morials of visits have, indeed, just
passed under the auctioneer's hammer,
one selling for one hundred poads,
while the other actually fetched one
hundred and two guineas, the forthaate
bnyer beiag Lord Lilford. Why, with
these facts before him. the great auk
stays away, it might, indeed,
be hard to understand. A bird
that can lay such golden eggs
as these should lose no time in
swimming for it cannot ly to the best

A. Terrible Exjiericace a Story from
Japan.
Dr. J. C. Cutter, a graduate of Har
vard, now physician to Kaitakushi,
Sappow, Japau, writes to tho Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal:
"The Japanese sendo or boatman,
upon a diet of boiled rice and weak
tea, with pickled daikon (a kind of rad
ish not unlike dock root) for a relish,
will row or pole for hours without inter
mission. Upon a similar diet, with an
occasional bit of dried fish, 'Jinriki'
will whirl you along in his two-wheeled
Pullman' at the rato of five to seven
miles an hour. These men have been
known to draw an adult Japanese gen
tleman fifty to sixty miles in one day
the same man going the entire distance.
I am credibly informed that a Tokio
man drew in his jin-riki-sha' one man
ninety miles in twenty-four consecutive
hours.
"On the 22d of March, 1880, M.
Soma, aged fourteen years and four
montlis, son of a 'farmer soldier,' sta
tioned in Sappow, accompanied by two
young men aged fifteen and seventeen
years respectively, left Tswischari to
walk to Sappow (twelve miles). Just
before starting out, at about twelve ru.,
they partook of a luncheon of rice,
daikon and tea. Each took with him
two handf uls of cold boiled rice. Soma
had, in addition, enough shoga (ginger
pickled in plum vinegar and salt) to
serve for relish for two meals. They
naa no aiconoi or tooacco about them.
They had no compass or means of mak
ing a fire. Each had a small half blan
ket in addition to the dress of their
class in life that is, a cotton towel over
their ears, au under kimono (agarmsa
like a tunic reaching to thcir-lciJjKT
opening in front, with large slaves,
into which the hands can be drawn) of
simple cotton or cotton wadded kimono
and a rough Aino coat, made from the
inner bark of a forest tree, cotton leg
gins, cotton tabi or shoe socks and straw
sandals.
"After coming about half way, owin
to the falling snow, they lost the path
On account of the depth of the snow
they had become weaned; so they took
a brief rest. As evening was rapidly
approaching they again endeavored to
find the lost trail. After wandering
about until - tired nature could do no
more they sat down on the snow amid
the high swamp grass and ate all the
rice theyhad, as well as most of the
shoga. They soon sank into a deep
sleep.
"In the morning they had no sensa
tion in their feet or legs. They were
nnable to move front their resting place.
On the 23d, 24th and 2oth they disposed
of all their food. On the night of the
28th the eldest ceased to speak; his
companion could not get to his side.
On the next day the middle one spoke
his last audible words. From this tine
Soma lay in the same place, eating

How a Chicago "Masher ' was
Vic-
tituized bj His Friends.
M. D. Lee, or, according to the regu
lar custom of hi3 associates, "Murt
Lee," is a clerk in the Chicago oflico of
the United Statc3 Express Company.
He boards at the Garden City Hotel,
where also live a number of other
clerks and j'oung men engaged in
divers mercantile pursuits, who look on
"Murt" as a clever kind of a lad, but
just a little gone on the other cx.
There isn't a doubt that Lee is at heart
a good boy, but for a mild belief that
he is a clean-cut " masher," like "Tap
per Tit." In his way of thinking, all
there needs be done is to eye a girl over
and she is gone. This peculiarity got
to be so well known among his fellow
boarders that, with a view of giving
him a wholesome dose of correction,
they put up a job, which has worked
without a hitch from first to last, and
is, by all odds, one of the richest prac
tical jokes ever played.
A? long ago us May ono of them wrote
him a letter purporting to come from a
young lady named Ludiugton, who had
seen him ju church and had been
smitlten by his appearance. She wrote
that her uncle was General Ludiugton,
of Richmond. He was a General in tho
rebel army, and of course reverenced
the name of Lee. He replied and pro
posed a meeting. She agreed to it, ap
pointed a place, and asked him to carry
a paper and a cane in his hand so that
she might know him. He was at the
appointed place, promptly on time, but
of course slio was not. Another letter
was sent to him, explaining that her
absence was unavoidable, and asking
him to excuse her. Affairs continned
in this way for several months. Sho
pretended to be traveling from one
watering-place to another, the conspira
tors against the peace of the young
man having the fictitious young lady's
letters mailed at Saratoga, Long
Branch, New York and other places.
The letters were of the most gushing
kind, the moon, stars and love being
mixed up in the usual way
A couple of weeks ago tho plotters
determined to bring tho thing to a focus.
General Ludingtou, who had been away,
returned home and discovered his
niece's correspondence. His hot South
ern blood was tired, anil ho addressed a
fierce letter to the young man, order
ing him to return the letters his nicco
had sent to him, and to give him that
satisfaction which was due from ono
gentleman to another under such ag
gravating circumstances. Lee was ter
rified almost out of his wits, and wrote
in reply that he was an honorable
young mau, and had never en
tertained any but the most honorable
intentions toward tho young lady. The
old General, or rather the party person
ating him, was obdurate, however, and
insisted upon having goro upon the
field of honor, and threatened, in case
he refused to accommodate him, to
shoot him on sight. This increased
poor Lee's trepidation, but he was
somewhat relieved on receivinjr anoth
er letter from Miss Ludington, in which
she advised him to stand lirm and meet
her uncle like a man. Sho promised
him that she should see to it that he
came to no harm. This braced him,
and he signified his intention of fight
ing. All the preparations for a sham
duel were then made. William Ryan
was selected to represent General Lud
ington, and J. P. Harrison his assist
ant. Lee, who had taken the conspira
tors themselves into his confidence, se
lected E. C. Donnclan to act as his sec
ond. The seconds had a meeting and
entered into the following agreement,
written in blood-red ink.

ington has tearfully embraced him, and
bid him a last farewell, the word was
given, and two blank cartridges were
tired simultaneously in the midst of
au explosion of almost uncontrollable
laughter on the part of tbe successful
schemers. To Lee's credit, it must be
said that he showed a great deal of
nerve, and fired directly at his oppo
nent when the word was given. It was
some time before he could realize that
a huge practical joke had been played
upon him, and when he did he could
do no less than invite the crowd up to
the Garden City Hotel bar, whither the
whole party had been driven directly
after the duel. He wisely determined
not to meet Miss Ludington at Saratoga
Springs, next September, as he had
agreed to, to fly away with her on the
wings of love.- It is to be presumed,
likewise, that he has sworn off love
letter writing to mysterious females,
particalarly nieces of hot-headed South
ern Generals who worship tbe nasse of
Lee. He wassomewhat annoyed to

Seasonlnr Food
Many people have tho idea that a
finely-llavored dish must cost a great
deal; this is a mistake: if yon have un
tainted meat, or sound vegetables, or
even Indian meal, to begin with, you
can make it delicious with proper sea
soning. One reason why French cook
ing is much nicer than any other is that
it is seasoned with so" great a variety of
herbs and spices; these cost very little;
if you would buy a few cents' worth at
a time you would soon havo a good
assortmenL The best kinds are sage,
thyme, sweet marjoram, tarragon,
mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay-leaves,
cloves, mace, celery-seed and onion'.
II yon will plant the seed of any of
these seven first mentioned in little
boxes on your window-sill, or in a
sunny spot in the yani. you can gener
ally "raise all you" need. Gather and
drj' them as follows: Parsley and tar
ragon should be dried in June and
July, just before flowering; mint in
June and July; thyme, marjoram and
savory in July and August; basil and
sase in August and September: all
herbs should be gathered in the sua- f
shine and dried by artificial heat; their
flavor is best preserved by keeping
them in air-tight tin cans or in tightly-'
corked glass bottles. Torsi CmbuteL
