Time to Reform the Calendar.

An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
has moved reorganization of the cal
endar Winter, he contends, should be-
gin on JAM and include March; spring
should commence with April and in
clude June; July, August and Septem-
Der should constitute summer, and the
fall. beginning with October, should not
end till after Christmas. His new cal
endar would play the mischief with ira
ditions, but it would come nearer to ac-
tual experience than does the present
antiquated European article The pro-
cession of the equinoxes is too slow alto
gether for the American climate. Facts
are on the side of reform, and if the
weather does not speedily repent and
bring forth fruits more meet for repent
ance than rank grass and dropsical pota-
toes, the newly established department
of agriculture will be called on to revise
the calendar. Brooklyn Citizen

war He insisted that the deepest silence
should reign around him. His officers
took care that no loud conversation
should disturb their general They knew
that chamberlain had been hanged for
waking him without orders, and that an
officer who would wear clanking spurs
in the commanders presence had been
secretly put to death In the room of
his palace the servants glided as if phan
toms, and a dozen sentinels moved
around his tent charged to secure the
silence the general demanded. Chains
were stretched across the streets in order
to guard him against the disturbance of
sounds Wallensteins taciturnity, which
made him shun speech, and his love of
silence, that caused him to be irritated
at the slightest noise, were due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from any
one and he could not endure to be gazed
at. even when giving an order. The sol
diers, when he crossed the camp, pre-
tended not to see him, knowing that a
curious look would bring them punish
ment. Boston Budget.

door close, she went round to her hus-
band and kissed him. "You are very
good, she said.
"What-to give you eighty dollars
without asking you what you had

PATHS generosity to kellogg.

An incident in the life of the gifted,
warm hearted and lamented CarlOtta
PATTI is well worth reporting, although
to few persons it may prove a twice
told tale When Miss Kelloggs musical
ability was to be tested many years ago
in New York large number of cards
were issued to the musical critics, anna
teurs and professionals, to the literary
and theatrical world. and to many high
III the social scale, making a formidable
audience for the introduction of the
charming young girl The tenor with
whom the debutante was introduced was
ungenerous on the occasion, for, instead
of singing his part, he merely hummed
SO much of the air as was necessary to
serve as cue to the orch estral accom-
.paniment. Weak and faint were the
first notes of the young novice; weaker
and more trembling they seemed to grow.
as if a genuine stage fright had taken
possession of her Her voice futtered
for moment, as if about to desert her,
when, distinct and clear as a bell, from
the center of the house, the air was taken
up and carried along until the debutante
gathered the courage and heart to show
the high quality she possessed, when
gradually the beautiful voice in the audi
ence fell away and the difficult aria was
finished in triumph amid thunderous ap-
plause The fate of the future American
prima donna was that morning decided
through the ready tact and unselfishness
of the little woman in the audience, who
proved to be none other than Carlotta
Patti And charming picture she
made, says one who saw her, marking
the time with her tiny hand, in her anx-
iety to help woman and stranger,
placing the very crown of success on the
otherwise defeated aspirations by the
encouragement of her own exquisite
voice; and never he adds, until hear
the wondrous voice of the angels will /
hear anything SO sweet as her lovely
voice at that morning rehearsal so many
years ago. Boston Transcript

The Worth of Silence.

Men great in deeds are often taciturn.
Does their taciturnity arise from the diff
fidence which fears lest words should ex-
eeed deeds, or from conviction that
safety is promoted by silence? Wash
ington's reserve made him stiff, formal
and i'll at ease in company, but it also
prevented his plans from being betrayed
to an enemy and the country from being
deceived by his promises. William the
Silent was frugal of words, because re-
serve that concealed his designs, even
from those acting with him, was neces-
sary to the independence of the Neither
lands A writer in Leisure Hours says
that the most dramatic of silent men was

Adolphus, and the commander Of the

Forty miles above New Orleans is the
old bed of the Bonnet Carre crevasse
Fifteen years ago the Father of Waters
burst his bolts and swept through there
to Lake Pontchartrain Five years ago
the state of Louisiana, with the assist
ance of the Mississippi Valley railroad
rebuilt the Bonnet Carre levee, but it
could not restore altogether the condi
tions prevailing antecedent to the Gre
vase. The river in the ten years it
passed through the swamp piled up its
sands against the big cypress forests
there. 1t has left behind buried for
