The Calender,

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 almanac,
know that about three hundred
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 a calendar is
to mark fixed date as the beginning
of year, and to do this. it should be
always at the same distance from the
spring and fall equinoxes. In the
time of Cesar, the science of astron-
omy was not very exact, and the small
error of eleven minutes in thu length
of the year was made. In the six
teenth century the churchmen, who
had great many religious festivals,
found that whereas the equinox was
on March 25th when the Julian Cal
endar was made, in 1882 it had fallen
back to March 18th. The great festi-
val 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, a
brief by which the date was arbitrar-
lily 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 correct date in your home or
office, get one of the calendars issued
by 1.-The Burlington" and to meet
your engagements in other places, buy
your railroad tickets over that line.
