Not 1883, but 1855.

There have been for centuries doubt:
as to the correctness of the accepted
calculation of the Christian era. Some
learned historians cannot agree whether
Christ was born in the year 747. 749. oil
15i. counting from the foundation OF
Rome. Recently Professor Sattler. OF
Munich. has published an essay in which
he tries to reconcile the testimony OF
the Evangelists with the other histori.
cal data on this point. He has examined
four copper coins, newly discovered
which were struck in the reign of Herod
AntipaS. one of the sons of Herod the
Great, and comes to the conclusion that
Christ was born not 754, but 749 year.
after the foundation of Rome, AMI
therefore that the present year is 1SS,
instead of 1888. This opinion the Pro
fessor tries to corroborate by the testi-
mony of the Evangelists.
According TO St. Matthew, Jesus was
born toward the end of the reign OF
Herod the Great, and when that King
died Jesus was vet 4 little child. Ac-
cording to st. Luke Jesus was born in
the year in which, by virtue of decree
of Augustus Cesar. Cyrenius, Governor
of Syria, made the first census of Judea.
Again, st. Luke says that St. John
began to baptize in the fifteenth year OF
the reign of Tiberius Cesar, and in
that year baptized Jesus, who was
then thirty years of age. As to the first
testimony there can be no misunder-
standing. Christ, being born in 749,
was of course Vet babe in $50, when
Herod died. But the other testimony
needs some explanation From the
Breridrium Imperii Census of the
Empire) which was added to the will
of Augustus Cesar, it is evident that 4
thorough census of the countries that
composed the Roman empire must have
been made. In fact, Augustus had
three cenSuses of his possessions
made, namely. in 726. TAG, and 700
As st. Luke says that in Judea the first
census was made during the reign Of
Herod. the census must have been Or
dered in 7f6. Probably the census was
begun in Judea in 747, and Professor Sat
tier thinks it was not made in Jerusa-
lem earlier than 749. He finds that the
four coins enable him to make clear the
testimony of the Evangelist as to the
fifteenth year of the reign Of Tiberius.
Though Augustus died on August 10,
767, Yet the beginning of the reign of
Tiberius must DE counted year and
half earlier February 1867. when he
was appointed eo-regent- Therefore
the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius falls in $50, when St. John
baptized Jesus, who was then about
thirty years of age.
An Evangelist says that Christ began
to preach forty-six years after the
temple ct Jerusalem was built by
Herod. Now. it is known that the
building of the temple was begun
eighteen years after Herod was APP
pointed by the Roman Senate as Regent
of Judea, or in the year 734 from the
foundation of Rome. Adding forty
six TO that year, it gives $50 as TIE year
in which Christ began to preach.
If all these calculations of Professor
Sattler are correct, then the Christian
era began five years earlier than is
usually supposed, making the current
year 1883 instead of 18s3.-N T. SUE

A New YORK man has invented a ma
chine for playing the piano. 1t is not an
organette or an orchestrion, but a case
placed over the keyboard with strikes that
hit the keys, which are turned by a crank
that is moved by pedals. The correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record, who has hear,l
it, says that all the time he was listening:
he felt as though he was at boarding
school commencement" and the crack
pianist of the school was playing her crack
piece. There was labored attempt at ex-
preston and a girlish disregard for time.
Mr. Gally, the inventor, says he can imi-
tate the playing of any pianist in the
world; and he warrants to give his patent
all the fire and passion of List, if any one
orders it. When this is perfected, with an
electric motor to turn the crank. man who
is able to own a piano will not have to
spend the rest of his fortune educating his
daughters to play it.-Masicst Herald.

Itappears from some statement on
Mexico in 1882 that some of the gold and
silver mines there have been worked
uninterruptedly since the Spanish con-
quest. During the time that Mexico
was Spanish colony-that, is from 1887
to 1S21-the mines produced silver to
the value of &2.OS6. 26s, 7O3, and gold
to the value of SOS, 76S,411 Since the
Mexican Independence was established
in 1921, down to the year 1880, the mines
produced to the value of $500, 65S, 3O9
and gold to the value of S4s, AS, 7S3.
This yields grand total for the produc-
ton of silver and gold in Mexico between
1887 and 1880 of $3, los, 11O.217. Another
computation, based on the report
of the Mexican Mint, gives somewhat
higher total than this A comparison
has been made between this yield and
the gold and silver production of Cali
fornia, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Dakota,
Montana, Idaho. Oregon, Washington,
New Mexico, and Arizona, from 1913 to
Jan. 1. 1882. which is reported to have

ADoctors Occupatiop Gone.

A good story is told of doctor whose
most profitable patient was an old lady who
suffered greatly from dyspepsia, nervous
ness and weak kidneys. His medicines
seemed to relieve her but did no permanent
good. Her nephew induced a trial of DR..
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla
which benefited her SO much that she dis
missed the doctor. His peculiar sensitive
ness caused him to give up his practice, and
instead of responding to professional calls.
he often merely grunted take Guysott's,' -
which saying became proverbial in the
neighborhood and a large sale for this
medicine soon sprang up.

To Get Rid OF Rats.

lived twenty years in an old coun-

first time and the first notice of them
was a fluttsr in the pigeon loft, and on
going TO see / found eight rats in full

about the place. then tried the fol-

then pulled him out, and shaking him
till he hung quietly head down, l caught
him with my finger and thumb by the

next painted him all over with gas tar,

voice in its expressive qualities. The
technique displayed battles all description,
and difficulties of the most stupendous
