10 You Know When the Ind Of the
Century Will Gomez
ghe yeat 1sso Win act u leap yea,
simply because, bsiag hsndedthl ysar,
although it il dlvisible by four, it 10 not
divisible BY 400 without remainder This
Il not tho real reason, but the result of It;
the real reason being the establishment
Of the Gregorian rule, made in 1852. =
The Ninstseths Century will not end
till midnight Of Monday, December 81,
1900. although the old quarrel will prob.
ably again be renewed as to what consti-
tutes = century asd when it winds up,
and thousands will insist on q premsture
burial Of the old century At midnight OF
December 81, 1899.
But a. century means 100 years, and
~ the first century could not end until q
full 100 years had passed, nor the second
till 200 years had passed, etc., 1t is not
logically clear why the Nineteenth Cen
fury should be curtailed aud broken of

April and July In any year, and in
leap year January l, fall on the same day
of the week.
September and December / In any

leap year.
February /, March and November I
of any year fall on the same day Of the

May 1, June and August in any year
never tall on the same week day, nor does
any one of the three ever fall ou-the same
week day on which any other month in
tina same year begins, except in leap year,
when February and August ! fall on
the same week day.
To ind out on what day of the week
any day Of this century fell divide the
year BY and let the remainder 60. Add
the quot,ent and year together, then add
8 more. Divide the result by Z and If the
remainder is 0 March / of that year was
Sunday; i'll, Monday; if q Tuesday, and
% on.
For the hast century, do the same thing
but add l Instead Of .. For the next
century add . instead.
It - needless to 60 beyond the next
century, because its survivors will prob
ably have some shorter method, and find
oat BY simply touching q knob OF letting
4 knob touch them.
Christmas Of any year always falls on
the same day Of the week - January .
Of that year, unless it be q. leap year,
when it is the same weak day - January
3 of that year.
Easter is always the frst Sunday after
the full moon that happens on OF next
