The Calendar.

How many men who have a calen-
dar OF the year hanging beside their
desks-how many Of the people who
can't keep house without an alma
nac,-know that about three humid
red years ago a very important
change was made in our reckoning OF
time? Up to the time of Julius
Caesar, the Romans divided the year
into ten months, OF very unequal
lengths, One Of the chief purposes OF
calendar is to mark a fixed date
as the beginning of a year, and to do
this, it should be always at the same
distance from the spring and fall
equinoXes. In the time of Caesar,
the science of astronomy was not
very exact, and the small error OF
eleven minuets in the length OF the
year was made. In the sixteenth
century the churchmen, who had a
great many religious festivals, found
that whereas the equinox was on
March 25th when the Julian Calen-
dar was made, in 1882 it had fallen
back to March 18th. The great fes-
tlVal 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 Octob.
er, 1882, brief by which the date
was arbitrarily advanced ten days
and that is our present calendar.
Russia, under the Greek church, did
not follow this, and still keeps the
old style. To always have the cor
rect date in your home or Office, get
one OF the calendars issued by "The
Burlington" and to meet your en-
gagements in other places, buy your
railroad tickets over that line. All

SENSIBLE CONCLUSION

The Trades Union Congress, in
session in Newcastle. Yesterday
reached conclusion as to whether
the proposed bill reducing or fix
ing the hours of labor ought to be
of a permissive or optional char
acter. The Congress decided that
the eight hour law shall be enfor-
ced in all trades and occupations.
except where n majority OF the or
ganized members in any trade
protest by ballot against the pro-
posal. The conclusion is of course
a great disappointment to the So
eialists-whose desire It is to
break up organized labor, and to
the. radicals, who are for war to
the knife and instant war. But it
was a very sensible conclusion, for
there are trades in which the
enforcement of the eight hour law
would be impracticable. At any
rate it is much the better way to
allow the members of each trade
