Without paying much attention to

CHANGING THE CALENDAR.
How Our Almanacs Are Kept In Accord
With the Clock In the Sky.

How Our Almanacs Are Kept In Accord
With the Clock In the Sky.
Jan. is not comparable as public
holiday with Christmas as to the uni
versatility or antiquity of it's observance.
Before 1862 the year began on March
20. The change in the calendar was
made in that year for Great Britain by
an act of parliament, and we inherited
the existing custom of marking the be-
ginning of the year from the mother
country. The day was not observed in
colonial times with the formality which
has marked its observance in later years.
After the colonies had adjusted business
affairs to the new date, the lst of Janu-
ary grew in importance and in course Of
time became legal holiday.
An interesting incident of the change
of the calendar in 1862 was the drop
ping of l / days, between Sept. 2 and
IA, giving that month only 10 days, to
bring the English into harmony with
the Gregorian calendar, The omission
of the / l days attracted great interest,
and long notice of the proposed innova-
tion was given in the newspapers of the
PERIOD so that business affairs could be
accommodated to what was called the
"new style" The act of parliament cor.
recting the calendar also ordained that
the years 1900, 1900, 2l00, 1900, 2300
or any hundredth year, except only
every fourth hundredth, shall not be
deemed leap years, but shall be consid-
cred common years of 800 days only and
that the years 1000, 24o0, $500 and
every fourth hundredth shall be leap
years, consisting of 366 days.
Every year whose number is divisible
by four is leap year, except only when
the number ends with 90, in which case
it is leap year only when the preceding
figures are divisible by four. BY this
rule the year 1900 will not be a leap
year, while the year 1000 will be. BY
this ingenious arrangement, says a
writer, "our almanacs are kept in har
mony as nearly as may be with the great
clock of the skies, the only perfect time
piece" All the old colonial literature
for some time after the change referred
to gave dates under both the old and
new styles to prevent confusion. -Phila-

Not yet "a days length on thy thronei
Thou with the merry eyes and clear
And joyous voice Of dulcet tonel
Hail, hail TO thee, thou strong Of limb!
Our praise il thine, o youthful king!
For thou art pure of woe and sin:
Thy young hands yet but blessings bring
The morarch who il laid away
Within the catacomb of years
Was harsh and ruthless I'm his day
Seemed less To love our joys than tears.
We look for blessings manifold,
New year, from thy pure, sinless handl
We trust thy heart will ne'er grow cold
Toward us-and our native land
lsring healing to the hearts now sore
From wounds the cruel old year made
The veil of peacefulness draw Ger
The woes at each heart threshold laid
We cannot love tyrant king
Our hearts refuse TO loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen misery
Be kind TO us-that we may say,
When comes the time for thee TO go,
30 darling year, we grieve today,
Because we all have loved you so!''
