which was the proper date to recognize
as the beginning of the year. This
naturally would cause more Or less diff
hculty in arriving at the proper time
for settlement of accounts, renewing
their obligations and determining the
dates for holidays, feasts, ETC., which
were strictly observed by various kinds
of religious and other organizations.
In order to more clearly illustrate the
state of affairs and the possibilities OF
what could arise from such a condi-
ton from which they were Obliged to
base their calculations momentary
glance at history will be necessary. In
those ancient days, the fricSsSn or
thought relating to these conditions
well served its purpose in bringing
about a much needed reform. How
ever, like most other innovations on
methods which have become stereotype
ed on the minds of the people by GUS
tom and long usage, it required CEN
turtles before the change was univer-
sally adopted and used it is at the
present day. The uncertainty of &C
curacy in the Julian OF old style meth
Cd of computation of the year had long
been noticed by ancient astronomers,
consequently in October, 1882, Pope
Gregory XIII. undertook to reform the
Roman calendar. The alteration made
by him created what is commonly
termed the new style, which recognizes
January first as the beginning Of the
year in nearly all civilized coun tries.
After great consideration that ponti:i

airy LIST. In Portugal the new stJ!e
calendar was adopted in 1882, but pre-
viOusly the new year came, first on
March 25th, then Dec. 25th. Some
provinces in Holland commenced the
year at Christmas, but in others it be-
gan at Easter. In 1875 the duke Of
ReQuesens, governor Of the Low Coun
tries, ordered that it should begin Jan

adoption OF the Gregorian calendar.

some places it began at Easter. The
University of Cologne considered
March 25th as the first Of the year. The
new style was adopted by the Catho-
lies in 1854 and by the Protestants in
100. In France, it was the custom
about the ninth century to commence
the year with Christmas. From the
end Of the eleventh century to the year
1868 it began ct Easter, or rather on
Holy Saturday easter eve}. The
Gregorian calendar was adopted IN
1852. England and Ireland had been
commencing tho year On March 2oth,
but in 1851 it was enacted that the first
of January, 1862, should be the begin
ming Of that year. and all future years.

declare they heard no shot fired. and did
not know that their home had been
entered until the body of the man was
found by a servant. who was the first
in the house TO arise yesterday morn
