A WEEK The division OF ..',,a s," into
weeks OF seven DAYS was quite general
among the ancient nations, and was oae
OF the earliest div v.sions known. The peo-
pie of India. the .Assyrians. the Egyptians,
the Hebrews. the ph@nieians, the Arabs,
and many other natioAs, had this seven day
division. The Chinese, As we'll as the
Mongoian races. had FIVE day division.-
The Gr. cks divided their month into de-
cades, orperiods OF ten days. The Egypt-
tans divided the month into decades. in
stead of the moon The Romans had very
peculiar names. The first was called the
caiends. The 9TH of March. May. July
aud October were called the noRes, and
the fifteenth the ides. In the other months
the noaes was the fifth day, and the idss
the ttirt enth. To dh tiugnish any other
day of the month. the Romans counted
backward from Que of these three days.
calling the day from which they counted
the first. Thus the twenty fifth day Of
June, after the Roman mcthui, would be
the seventh day before the calenas of july;
the fourth f July would be the fourth day
before the nones OF July and the tenth OF
June would be the fourth day before the
i1es of june
The division Of the month into weeks s
general thloughout modern Europe. The
French. however, after the revolution ot
l7e9. introduced n new calendar. Among
other changes they substituted decades in
place of weeks. But the lew calendar
was abolished in a few years, aud old di
visions and old names were restor d. The
French have "a word Tor week. hut it is
quite customary Tor them to say eight days
when they mean a week For example, a
