ABOUT AUGUST.
The Eighth Month or the Year and
somethinx or Its n lstory.

The Eighth Month OF the Year and
Something or Its II lstory.
August is the eighth month. In Ro,
man reckoning it was the sixth month
known accordingly as Se,stillis. Mark
Anthony-beloved of Julius Caesar and
Cleopatra also. had bestowe the name of
Julius-July upon his fallen, out not
forgotten friend. Augu ,tus. coming
unto the imperial throne of brick made
Rome, must also have month named
after him. He could do no less-the
Gods OF Rome would not pc rmit that Au-
gustus should be slighted. Augustus
means honored. venerable, from augere,
to increase. Moreover, he was a son of
Alta, Julius C8sar's ME ce-even the
adopted son of Julius. In 10 B. c.
thIrty-two years after the as sassination Of
his distinguished relative. and after he
proved his proves at the head of his
army, he was declared to be the pontiff
-pontifex maxiums-Qhe great bridge
builder)-and he must have a month to
perpetuate his glorious name. Hence
the sixth month was rent med August.
But it had but 30 days. July had 81
days. 1t would never do for Angus
tus to be named for 30-day month.
seeing that the preceding Caesar had
31-day month. He must have a
day added. Nothing easier, since in
those days and for centuries after the
calendar was in the hands of the pontifix
the great ruler and high priest-the
head of church and state. rs is the Rus
sian car today, as the pope of Rome
the present portifex- bridge builder) OF
Rome desires to be- declar es it his heaven
granted right to be. So was poor Feb.
rusry deprived of one day. 1t had bu,
29-but it had to lose another, and thai
was added to August. This brought
three 31-jsy months together-for Sep.
TENDER then had 81; SO to avoid hsvine
too many Sis together, September was
reduced to 80 in favor of October. which
WAS made 81, and Novembers then 81
was reduced to 80. and the odd day given
to December-snd so it happens ths
only two adjoining Bis ocour-Decembel
and January. and July and August.
So much for August. As it was in
Roman pagan days so it is in Christian
