The Ancient Calendar.

In times past the Jewish year had two
commandments. The religious year began
with the month of Abb (ApriD and the
civil year with Tissi (October). The year
was solar one, and but two seasons were
reckoned = summer and winter. The
months were lunar, 10 in number, each OF
80 days. This was the case with the aver
age year, but occasionally thirteenth was
necessarily intercalated.
This thirteenth month was called I've
adar.''. Several of the ancient nations
the Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persians and
Phenicians in particular - began their
year at the time of the autumnal equinox,
about Sept. 49, The beginning of the year
among the Greeks until about the year
432 B. c., when Mention introduced the
cycle called after him, was at the time OF
the winter solstice, or about Dec. %, and
afterward at the time of the summer sol
stice, June 49, In England from the four
teenth century until the change from 'old
style'' to new style, in 1852, the legal
and ecclesiastical year began with March
25,-St. Louis Republic.

No one who has had successful expe-
rience in orchard management but fully
understands the value of washing the
trunks of the trees in winter time. Lime
wash colored to prevent the white glare
has been found particularly valuable
Such care always results in healthy trees,
though few have cared to inquire why 1t
is now known that many of the diseases OF
fruit trees come from the germs of minute
fungi, which float on the bark and ger1nl-
nate when the proper temperature arrives
The washes kill the germs. The California
Fruit Grower recommends the following
as an excellent wash for winter work:
Unslaked lime, 40 pounds; sulphur, 20
pounds; stock salt, Is pounds; water to
make 100 gallons.
Directions-Place 10 pounds Of lime and
20 of sulphur in boiler with 20 gallons Of
water, and boil over a brisk fire for not
less than 1 a hours, or until the sulphur is
thoroughly dissolved. When this takes
place, the mixture will be of an amber
color Next place in the cask 80 pounds of
unslaked lime, pouring over it enough hot
water to thoroughly Stake it, and while it
is boiling add the Is pounds of salt. When
this is dissolved, add to the lime and sui
phur in the boiler and cook for half an
hour longer, when the necessary water to
make 100 gallons should be added.-Mee-

Uncomfortable For Both.

Two sweet young things met in a car
They hadn't seen each other 'for ages, J"
and they had to retail the ages accumula-
ton of news.

brown, THAT Harry Filters is to marry
Blanche Hilton?'
II hadn't heard of it, replied the one
in gray. Tell me about it. y
'sWell, I've heard it from several
sources, and I must say that don't think
that Blanche is to be congratulated. +"
'sWhy not?"
stWhy, don't you know what a wretched
flirt Mr.. Filters iss"

Cut Flowers That Last.

There is a great difference in the keep
ing quality of flowers when cut, and in
the small garden this trait should be chief
" considered. The first on the list that
live the longest when cut are the chrysan-
themums, and next the cosmos The
plants of each when once established are a
perpetual inheritance. The need of chrys-
anthemu1ns is annual enrichment, and
the cosmos will SOW it's own seed. Next
the carnations withstand the tooth of time
with great fortitude. All of the family of
jonquil and narcissus are famous for lon
gevity, and when once established. in the
garden will take care of their own poster
ity. All the lily tribe are fine keepers. So
are the begonias. Scarlet geranium is a
useful decorator, but scarlet sage has no
value off the lawn. Heliotrope is only for
day The hyacinth lasts long, but it is
too heavy perfume for the house. For
foliage the asparagus is almost immortal.
1t will outlive any flower, and it is by far
the prettiest green decoration at every
ones command. The smilax lasts long,
but is Of more tender growth.-Wash-

Lunar Photography.

Professor Langley has been interested for
considerable time in the possibility OF
preparing a chart of the moon by photog-
raphy which would enable biologists and
seIenographers to study it's surface in their
cabinets with all the details before them
which astronomers have at their command
in the use of the most powerful telescopes.
Such a plan would have seemed chimerical
q few years ago. and it is still surrounded
with difficulties, but it is probable that
within comparatively few years it may
be successfully carried out. No definite
scale has yet been adopted, but it is desira-
BILE that the disk thus presented should ap-
proximate in size one two millionth OF the
lunar diameter, but while photographs
have been made on this scale none of them
shows detail which may not be given on q
smaller one.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Lord Sold Into Slavery.

Charles Reade found the hero Of his
novel, 1.-THE Wandering Heir, F." in the per
son of Lord Altman of Ireland, who was
sold as 'redemptioner'' at Philadelphia
in 1928, and who served for 10 years in eff
feet as a slave to one or more masters in
Lancaster county, Pa. The young noble
man was recognized by two Irishmen who
came by accident toane house where he
lived, and Admiral Vernon afterward took
him back to Ireland. Reade laid the scene
of Lord Altha1n's servitude in northern
Delaware, but it is pretty well established
that this was an error. - Philadelphia

A PROTEST

Because you see me light and gay,
Playing with that man and with this,
You turn from me and coldly say,
''How frivolous she is!'
Because you hear my laugh ring out
Careless amid the bathrooms glare
You think that all care about
In life is only there.
Because to your disdainful look
answer with as cold gaze
You sheer, MY lady i'll can brook
That one no homage pays"
Because you note my blush and smile
When others bow before my throne
You do not know that all the while
Your mastery own.
You will not guess-I cannot tell
That though their praises 1atter me.
And though my kingdom please me well,
I'd leave it willingly,
To reign as queen beside your hearth.
To call my own your love, your life
Would give up all prize on earth
To be your wife.

Serenity of Temper.

One sign of mental health is serenity OF
temper and self control that enables us

pecially those arising from contact with

SILVER AND THE VETO.

The majority of the people as well
as of the newspapers of the country
will be found endorsing the Presidents
veto of the Bland bill for the coinage
of the so-called seigniorage. The gold
standard folks are pleased with his ac-
ton because they do not want anv in
crease of silver currency. MANY of
the bimetallists and most of the free
silver coinage advocates approve of the
veto because they do not want any half
way measures or makeshift expedi-
ents.
If Mr.. Bland will prepare a straight
free silver coinage measure. while we
do not think it can be made successful
just yet it will at least gain the sun
port of the advocates of silver and gold
as the money metals of the country.
and put to fair test the existing SEN
timent in Congress on the financial
question. His present bill cannot be
passed over the Presidents veto. nor
will it prove satisfactory to any consid-
'erable portion of the country if ii
should prevail.
1t is useless for partisan papers to
try to make political capital against
Mr.. Cleveland because of this veto, for
it is in line with his former course on
the silver question and there is no ex-
tensive feeling of disapproval concern
ing it. However, it is amusing to note
the changing expressions of some pa
pers on this matter. For instance. this
lis what our morning contemporary
said the day before the veto:
In this connection we sincerely hone
that President Cleveland viii veto the
seigniorage bill. There is nothing in it
when we come to study it over
And this is its comment two days
after the veto:
"To us the veto is most direct proof
of the incompetency of the Executive
that has been supplied
That Cleveland is bimetallist of the
kind that does not believe in the UNI
