The party owning the gun, whose

falling to the floor and the cartridges

the story rather fiimsy, and that the

Proposed Change In Calendar.

Again movement is on foot to change
the number Of months in the year from
twelve to thirteen, and to bring about
the introduction of this reformed calen-
dar, beginning Jan. !, 1901, or the com.
mencement of the twentieth century.
The arguments in favor OF the thirteen
month year are plausible. 1t is shown
that the first twelve months OF the year
would have twenty-eight days or exactly
four weeks each. while the thirteenth
month would have twenty-nine days
This would lead to greater convenience
in reckoning dates. There would be no
need to refer to calendars to determine
the day of the week for a certain date.
Thus, if Jan. fell on Monday, the Mon,
DAYS throughout the year would fall on
the LIST, Sth, 18th and 22d of each month.
The addition of another month to the
calendar would be regarded as somewhat
radical, but there is a precedent for it.
In ancient times the year consisted OF
ten months, but July and August were
added and were named in honor of Julius
Caesar and the emperor Augustus re,
spectively.

Fakes and Faklrs.

Indeed the American people enjoy be
ing bilked. They are ever ready to take
a stranger in, to help some poor adven'
turer along, and at the same time be
taken in themselves. A peddler enters
community with a stock of shelf-worn,
moth.eaten goods, tells the credulous
American how ruinously cheap he offers
them and succeeds in making a sale
often at an advance on the price asked
by local merchant for the same goods,
fresh and new. A quack doctor may
come into a city pretending to cure all ills
and will sell more useless nostrums and
cure lls in day than resident drug
dealer would dispose of in year. The
list of fakirs and fakes might be carried
on ad infnitum. They are met with in
every line of business. Merchants, doc
tors, and newspapers have to compete
with the fakir while attempting to con-
duct legitimate business, and this VIII
continue as long as the American people
enjoy being bilked, but the time Will
come when the fakir will be relocated to
the rear and then egimate business will
be appreciated.

Manners In This Country.

The Providence Journal says that Nine.
Blance thinks that the young men OF
America are the most chivslrous in the
world. This is distinguished compll-
ment from the eminent Frenchwoman,
and it would be gratifying to think that
it WAS deserved. But we greatly lear
that the actual manners of our young
men are far below the level OF excellence
which tradition assigns to them. by
reason OF a certain degree of freedom
which thew enjoy, our women may be-
on the whole, better off than those OF
foreign countries. This is not saying,
however, that the men really treat them
more politely. Things have distinctly
changed for the worse within the past
two decades.

ton.
The senate held executive or secret
sessions, when every one except mem
bers was excluded from the building. and
a committee of senators was appointed in
such cases TO make and keep journal of
the proceedings OF the session. One OF
the consuls for the year usually presided
in the senate. In his absence some other
OF the high officers of the government
was designated by law to perform this
duty, but the Roman senate does not
appear to have ever had the power to
appoint it's own president. The vote OF
the senate was taken by division. A ma
jority vote decided all questions.
There are two very old DEGREES of the
Roman senate yet in force and universally
Obeyed. They do not relate to general
policy or Jurisprudence. They are in the
strctest sense of the term special legisla-
ton. These DEGREES were passed after
the death Of the first two empero,s, and
enacted that the fiflh"and sixth months

The Roman Senate.

Senator Turple's speech: Some of the
rules OF the Roman senate resemble our
own. No business could be transacted
without the presence OF quorum. The
question OF quorum, as familiar in that
assembly as in this, might be raised at
any time by any member, in two words
addressed to the presiding ofiicer-uum'
era senatum-count the senate. A sena-
tor desiring to speak sometimes addressed
the chair, but in every case his fellow
members collectively, as patress con-
script. The speeches of the senators
might be and often were read from man
uscript. practice which has lasted even
until this day. There WAS no previous
question or cloture. Debate was held
without limit as to time. Those who
grossly abused this right of speaking
without interruption were sometimes
forced to quit by the noise and clsmor
made by their fellow members. Occa-
sionally the whole senate joined in these
noisy demonstrations. The presiding
officer attempted to interrupt, more than
once, an obnoxious speaker, but this was
not tolerated by the senate.
When certain senator one day, in or.

passed, tried to waste time in speaking
Caesar, who WAS then consul, and by
virtue OF bis office, the presiding officer
of the senate, ordered him to be arrested
and taken to prison, but the whole house
rose TO their feet to follow him, which
caused Caesar TO rescind his order, and
the senator held the floor. The debates
were sometimes, though rarely, prolonged
into the aight, when lamps were ordered
and lighted, but night sessions OF the
senate were especially discouraged by
two OF it's rules. No new reference could
be made or question raised after the tenth
hour, or 4 O'Clock in the afternoon; nc

Trained Animala.


In the easternmost corner of Prussia.
near the village of Trakehnen, is n
famous horsc-breeding establishment,
which was started by the father Of
Frederick the Great. This great stud
farm is still carried on with character
istic energy, and not only provides the
German army with the hundred thou
sand horses which it requires in time OF
peace. but does much toward keeping
up high general standard among the
horses of the country. Nearly every
farm in east Prussia is devoted to this
one occupation, and the German army
gets many more horses from this little
corner than from anywhere else in the
kingdom. The author of The BORDER
land of Car and Kaiser gives an ad-
mirable picture of the gentleness and
docility of the Trakehnen thorough
breds
We pulled up in a field where were
hundred thrce-year-old stations run

each bearing a long whip, which he

Dreadful
Rheumatism,

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatisin-that de-
plorable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
Cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood rene
dies are at best only topics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from Il lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of :. S. ST.;
it thins the blood, gives it a free and
forCiblc circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert II. King, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
about five years ago was great
sufferer from rheumatism. / was
treated by all the leading physicians
