Stone Comma.

A discovery Of great interest to archas-
ologists has just been made ut Malmes-
curry. In order to enlarge his premises,
Mr.. j. Moore, of the Bell hotel, has
pulled down two adjoining cottages. and
the laborers in the employ Of the build
ers while excavating underneath tho
found...ion discovered two stone coffins,
the lid # each of which weighed from
seven to nine hundred weight. In these
were found from sixteen to seventeen
perfect skeletons with remarkably fine
sets OF teeth, scarcely one being missing,
although it is supposed the bodies must
have been buried over u thousand yearA
The dividing wall between the hotel
and the cottages was six feet thick, and.
on this being removed. underneath the
center of it was found shaft, Ia inches
by twelve. beautifully walled up, Lead
ing. it is supposed, to Il chamber or sub
terranean passage. We understand that
the vicar, who is very interested in the
discovery, has expressed his opinion that
this is the site of the Malmesbury castle
which was built by Roger, bishop OF
Salisbury. FOR the purpose Of defending
the abbey, and that it will help tho
Archaeological society to trace moro
correct history Of the western part Of
that grand old building.
On the skeletons being found they were
carefully collected by Mr.. Moore, and
the Rev. q. Windsor Tucker at once
visited the spot and gave orders for a
grave to be dug near the Russian gun in
the churchyard for their interment
Subsequently more skeletons were found
and second grave had to be dug. The
discovery altogether has excited great in
terest.-Wilts and Gloucester Standard.

The Calendars.

How many men who have calendar
of the year hanging beside their desks
how many of the people who can't
keep house without an almanac-know
that about three hundred years ago n
very important change was made in
our reckoning Of time? Up to the
time of Julius Caesar, the Romans di
vided the year into ten months, of very
unequal lengths, One of the chief pur
poses of a calendar is to mark Z; fixed
date us the beginning of year, and to
do this, it should be always ut the same
distances from the spring and fall equi-
noXes. In the time of Caesar. the
science of astronomy was not very
exact, aed the small error of eleven
minutes in the length of a year was
made. In the sixteenth century the
churcnmen, who had Il great many Ie-
ligious festivals, found that whereas the
exuinox was on March 25th when the
Julian Calendar was made, in 1852 it
had fallen back to March 1lth. The
great festival of the church, Easter, was
thus getting back into the winter. Pope
Gregory XIII. came to the rescue, and
after consultation with the learned of
the day, issued, in October 1882, brief
by which the date was arbitrarily ad-
vanced zen days-and that is our pres
ent calendar, Russia, under the Greek
church, did not follow this, and still
keeps the old style. TO always have
