Year Of Thirteen Months.

A proposition is advanced by New
Yorker for making from January l. 1900,
new division of the year, with Is months.
The proposition is novel one, inasmuch
as 1t advocates the complete metamorpho-
SIS OF the present calendar which has
been in vogue so many years, According
to the new scheme the first l2 months
would have just % days. or four weeks
each, and the new month 30, to make 1856
days. except in leap year, when it will
have 80 days. After few days under 1t
there would be no need to refer to calen-
dars, as the same day of the week would
have the same date through the year.
For illustration: II in four years to come
this change could be adopted by all coun-
tries, and January l was, say, Monday,
every Monday would be the list, 9Th, 18th
and 22d; every Tuesday the I'd, 9th, 10th
and 23d, and so on throughout the year.
The changes OF the moon would be about
the same dates through the year, and
many SaiSuihttourt Hho iHtcfcst, uhte VI
maturing of notes, Easter Sunday and
many important dates simplified. II the
change was made, the present generation
would have to figure new dates for birth
days, and all legal holidays, except New
Years day, would be on different dates;
but as the correspondent says, it would
obviate, when determining the number
Of days in the month, as arranged by
present calendars, the necessity for re-
peating the familiar doggerel learned in
childhood.

His bad memory led him into terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that he had
killed Rocambole-the still famous Ro-
cambole--in the previous feuilleton, and,
to the great surprise Of the reader he
made him talk again as II nothing out Of
the common had befsllen him. This re
suscitation OF Rocsmbole is one Of the
most curious things in the history Of the

several states Of the Union. He has al
ready made an excellent equipment for
his department in the university, with
furnaces, ore crushers, and all the neces-

A NoveIist,s Isiunder.

A great master of the art of throwing
off stories by daily installment was
Ponson du Terral. When he was at the
height OF his vogue, he kept three run
ming at the same time in different papers.
His fertile Imagination was never at a
loss, but his memory frequently was. He
was apt to forget to-day what he did with
hero or heroine yesterday. To help his
memory he at first noted down briefly in
copy books what happened to his men
and women, but finding that often he
could not read his own writing, he in
vented new system. He procured little
leaden figures on which he gummed the
names OF his characters as they were
born. Surprising there were three stories
running, there were three sets OF figures
in different drawers. When a character
was settled off, the little man or woman
in lead was taken away from its compan-
ions and laid aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrai was
all behind 10 bis work, he set himself to
his task without examining the slai n.

let it stand over night. Even if the face
be of paper and gets completely soaked
with the oil, 1t will do no harm. The
kerosene will evaporate within few
days and leave it perfectly clean. If,
after this treatment, the clock will not
go, it is because there is something radi-
cally wrong with it. Some essential part
must be broken.

State where the Democrats have organized

from the cbairmen OF the State committees

precede, to follow and to accompany the
meeting OF the directors
The archblshops have only an advisory
connection with the choice of n name for
the place. They have no fixed time OF
meeting, anu are in sense subject to
the call OF Cardinal Gibbons. They will
gather or this occasion in such a way as
to give the most aid in the duty at hand.
Father Mackin said this morning he
thought there was absolutely nothing de-
termined yet as to Bishop Keanc's sue
cessor- There had been nothing like a
meeting or agreement between even n
part OF the directors, and, while several
men mad their candidates, 1t might happen
that some one would be suggested at

Thus DipsOsed OF.
Wlkesbarre, Pa, Oct ia peculiar
transaction in wives took place in Wilkes
barre township Saturday night and yester-
day. There was quite a crowd in Joseph
Rothstein's saloon. Staneiy Maklinsky ex-
cited the envy of his friends by showing
them a fine new pipe for which he said he
paid S4 William Krokinosky wanted the
pipe, and as none of the crowd had any
money, he with hothersoffcredt to trade things
for it.
He offered a pair of boots, his breast in the
Empire mine or a Davy safety lamp, but
none of these things tempted Maklinsky.
Krokinosky finally said We'll, il you give
me the pipe will give you my wife" Ma
klinsky agreed to this, and the following
paper was drawn up:
Il sell my wife to Stanely Maklinsky for
a pipe. / will have nothing to do with her
again. lie can do what be likes with her"
Each man signed this, and krokinosky
agreed to deliver the wife yesterday MIS-
Maklinsky, who is some what more Ameri-
canized than her husband, objected vigor-
ously to the proposed Clan, and told him
that she coul Id have him arrested if he III ar
ried another woman. Maklinsky, findiIg
that a second wife would be n dangerous
and embarrassing encumbrance. searched
about for n chance to trade her off. 1t was
not long before he met George kopchinsd.

pay ST. for the woman, and paid S3 down
and promised the balance in monthly in
stalments.
He was not to get wife so easily. how
ever. Yesterday afternoon when he went
to Maklinsky's house the wife refused to
recognize the validity of the sale, and said
she would not go with him. Kopchinsd
showed her the paper he had received from
her husband, and argued that the sale was
proper, and she was legally his wife, but
she would not see it in that way. Kopchin-

the history Of
this struggle for independence, which has
now been wagcd for eighteen months. One
of these reports came from the Spanish
capital. 1t was TO the effect that unless
Spain succeeds. in crushing the insurrcc-
ton by the 1st of March, the Spanish
troops will be withdrawn from the isla nd
ana possession of 1t given up to the Cuhans
This statement was made upon the author
ity of an officer of high standing in The
Spanish army, and if it has any truth
whatever for a basis there will be no
Spanish soldiers ON Cuban soil when the
springtime comes.
The determination would seem to be
the better part of valor. for, if Weyler
cunnot get tie better OF the insurgents

disposal, there will hardly be any use in
still further sacrificing life and treasure
in what must be then conceded Il
hopeless task. From the quarter, there
guerdon of liberty is held up to the patriot
hosts.
On the other hand, it is reported here in
Washington, nn what is claimed to lie un-
questionable authority, that unless Spain
supprcsses the insurrcctionint three months.
President Cleveland Will recognize the
constituting an independent republic. He
is said to have become convinced by The
reports sent him by Consul General Lee
that such will be the proper course for him
to pursue
a majority Of the people OF this country
are OF the opinion that such action as Mr.
Cleveland is now said to be contcmplat-

the President really entcrtains the purpose
With wni,n he is credited, the independ-

that Spain will be ready to give up the
island.
