The Peculiar Chinese Calendar.
From the Stats Zeitung.


The Chinese do not compute their time
by centuries but by periods Of sixty years
Quck shiapsiX wood; each year in this
space Of time has its own name, partly re-
latinS 10 the five elements adopted by the
Chinese sages, namely, wood, fire, earCh.
mineral and water partly connected with
denominations of live creatures, such as
rat, cattle. tiger, hare etc. From the COM
bination of these two factors into a double
word results, at the same time. whether
the year as a lucky or an unlucky one.
If, for instance, wood and cattle meet in
the name of a year, this signifies a good
crop; fire and tiger prophesy a year Of
war. The year 1897 bore the name of
dingh-dan-fre and fowl and signifies a
year of peace. The Chinese attach great
value to these names, and are frequently
soVerned in their enterprises by the fact
whether the name OF the year implies
luck or bad luck. The division of the year
is a two fold one it being divided into
twelve months and twenty-four semi
months The latter bear the signs of the
Old Chinese zodiac, and are called rain
water, vernal equinox, pure light, rain for
the fruit, morning flush Of summer, little
rainy season, seed of the herbs, summer
solstice, commencement of the heat, great
heat, sign Of autumn end of the heat, white
dew, exc. Like US, the Chinese have four
seasons mua). The months have alter
nately twenty-nine weak months) and
thirty days Osrong months frequently leap
months are introduced for the sake OF
equalization. According to the Chinese
calendar, there are also two kinds of
weeks. some of ten days and others of fif-
teen days, so that a month is divided
either into two or three weeks. The first
days of the months are designated by num-
bers but the first day is also called that
of the weasel and the last one that of re-
turn, every day of the full moon being
styled the day of hope, the day at five.
The counting of the twelve hours, Zach
equal to two of ours, commences at II
o'clock at night
Frequently, however, the hours are also
designated by animal names; thus The
midnight hour is called the hour Of the
rat, while the midday hour is that of the
horse Each hour is divided into double
minutes. minutes and seconds.

SECOND OF TRI-CLUB GAMES.
Hebrew and Catholic Library boys
Mt Indoor bali Tonight.


The second game of the season in the
Tri-Club Indoor Base Ball League Will be
played at the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION gymnasium tonight. The con-
testing teams are the c, L. AS and the
Y. NJ. II. AS. Neither has worked into
condition yet. though the Hebrews have
probably had more practice than the Lii
brary team.
The makeup of the c. L. A team is DIFF
ferent from last years though there are
several OF the old men on the team. Hor-
rigan and Sullivan, the battery which has
served the team for two seasons, will
again be in the points. Horrigan had in
tended not to play, but so much pressure
was brought 10 bear by the boys that he
has consented 10 pitch at least few
games. Horrigan is at all times steady
ana reliable and the Library boys are in
luck. Winters, who formerly played
short, will be at first, Charlton al second.
and Brady at third. Downey and Bell
will take care of right and left short Nc
Callum and Prendergast, the helders, are
both new men.
The Y. N. II. A. team is strongly made
up of old players Morrison, who will
pitch seems 10 be a promising twirler.
At any rate the Y. NJ. c. A. team could
not do much with him last week.
The Library boys will appear IN new
uniforms. The SUITS are very attractive
ana consist of gray trousers and maroon
shirts and stockings. Tickets for re
served seats are now on sale at the Y. NJ
