HE SUNDIAL is the earliest instrument used for measuring time, and the first advance upon it is said to be due to Plato, who invented the Clepsydra, or water clock. King Alfred in the 9th century used graduated candles, the burning of which marked the passage of time. Sand-glasses were also used from an early date, and are yet common in some parts of the world. But the scientists of the world have combined through the hundreds of years and down the course of the centuries have evolved the latest and most up-to-date clocks and watches, the very best samples of which may be seen at the shop of G. C. HAMILTON, THE UP-TO-DATE WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER, MAIN STREET, GORE. THE PRICES ARE RIGHT. r HEN SELECTING A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR A LADY. Remember that she likes something dainty and good.
