T'he Date.

The exact date of Christmas has
never been settled. In the early part
of the fifth century Christmas was
made one of the three high-feast days
of the Church of Rome, the other two
being Easter and Whit Sunday. Long
and acrimonious disputes arose as TO
what day of the year should be set
aside as the day of the Savior's birth.
Records and traditions were carefully
scanned, but nothing in any degree in
dicative of the date of the birth of
Christ could be discovered, and it was
proposed that advantage should be
taken of the fact that the feast of Sol
was still very generally observed among
the nations, but lately and imperfectly
freed from the rule of Roman mythol-
ogy, and the heather celebration
turned into a Chris ian feast. This
was opposed on the ground that what
ever might have been the date of the
birth of Christ it certainly did not take
place on the 25th of December, the day
of the feast in honor of the sun. The
reason given was that the climate of
Judea was such that at that time, in
the very height of the rainy season, the
shepherds who beheld the star of Beth
lehem would not have been watching
their hocks in the open air. The mid
die of October was advocated by the
clerical opponents of the 18th of De-
cember, astronomical reasons being ad-
vanced, which were held to indicate
that the star of Bethlehem had APP
peared during this month. For long
time the point remained undecided,
but at length the party advocating the
25th of December succeeded in carry
ing their point, the argu nent most
strongly and successfully urged being
the advantages which had already been
experienced in adopting the heather
seasons of festivity, the half-Christian'
lied populations of the various countries
into which the new faith had nut re
Gently been introduced accepting il
more readily when it in some measure
conformed with their previous habits
The fest of Sol, and also the famous
Saturnalia, had for centuries been helc
during the month of December, and i
was urged that advantage should bt
taken of this fact The Eastern
Church celebrated the birth of Chris
on the 9th of January, date still ad
hered to in many communities where
the Greek church is accepted.

while Pennsylvania has another, full of
! stammering eloquence:
"she was-words is wanting to tell what
Think what friend should be- she was that 4"
From New York comes q specimen
with a suggestive flavor of the railway
timetable about it:
She was in health at Ill 30 A.. M.
And left for heaven at 8; 3OP.M.";
and second that is breathlessly brief:

For death will come and take nay;

but lie certainly universally appl cable:
"a bird, a man, a loaded gun,

it ought TO be, for it is a bull of truly
Irish breed:
Here lies william Green, who did In Mauches

buried here"
Still, there are New England examples
quite as bad-or good-such hs:
Here lies the body of Thomas Vernon
The only surviving son of Admiral Vernon"
while this, though American, is GER
tsinly ambiguous:
The winter snow CONCEALED his form.
But now we know our Uncle's warm"
There is no ambiguity, however, to be
complained of in the following appeal:

The Dollar Mark,

Did 1t ever strike you as being at all pc
culiar that we should use the dollar mark
(S) before instead of after the figures ~
expressing the sum of 5, 10, 20 or any 9th
or number of dollarsY We may say '25 dol
lars" plain enough for any one to under
stand, but as soon as we put the express
sion into figures and characters it is IDOL
lars 25' (S25), instead Of 25S, as it should
be. Nor is this all that is peculiar in this
connection.
In every country which has written
language and system of coinage the alb
breviation for the unit of value precedcs
the figures. In England the pound mark
(G) Is used in the same manner that the
dollar mark is used in this country, while
the same popularity is noticeable in Ger
many, where the Authorization m. Gor
mark) appears preceding the number just
as the French abbreviation fir. (for france
Is used in France.
If authorizations are not used, the legend
is more apt to be correct. We find that in
Mexico they have "2H pesos" instead of
"p. az" as one might expect, and in
Newfoundland they have a plain 2 dol
lar piece. So, too, in France, where the
Authorization is not used we find such
pieces rs $40 francs, F" 30 francs" and
40 francs" In Germany they have n
piece marked TX thaler," which is all
very plain, but the moment clerk, book
keeper or other person makes an entry or
jots down memorandum he tells you that
it is 18th. X"
The English pound sign, which is be-
lcved to be the oldest monetary abhrevia-
tion now in use, is the old initial letter by
which the Romans expressed pounds"
just as we use the Tbs" 1t has been sug-
gested that we use our money Authorization
backward because the Romans in ex-
pressing pounds" always said libra
decem" instead of "decem libra" the first
being pounds ten" and the latter "ten
pounds" When their initial letter or
character was used, it always preceded the
figures, thus ''G10, instead of the reverse.
Thus the whole world has gotten in the
habit of doing these things Backward
