and they salute no man by the way. In
deed our manners are in perilous state
and We seem to be In danger OF losing
them. Listen to the way young people
now speak to and about their parents and
elders geneFally-in a way that It would
be improper to address a black beetle.
None Of us are infallible,, not even the
youngest. but boys and girls think that
they are. and this makes 1T very difficult
Tor them 10 honor their fathers and
mothers-silly- old people, who were born
at time when boys did not smoke paper
and girls could blush, were not slangy
and did not indulge in risky conversa-

There is at present want of reverence
for everything In heaven and earth and
this expresses itself In disregard for
the feelings of others, which is the es-
sence of bad manners. AT a crowded as

the chair with a sweet smile If she had

selfish character displayed Itself in be-

When It Is midnight with us it is noon

noon of the next day or Of the preceding
one? To sailors this is matter Of some
Importance, as their captains have to de-

Of New Guinea island, Of the Solomon
islands and of the New Hebrides, the
French In New Caledonia and the inhab-
ttants Of New Zealand and of the little
island Of Chatham, in the Pacific ocean.
The people on this island will be able
to greet the new century before any one
else, but it Is not probable that a similar
privilege will ever again be theirs, for
the reason that there is not likely to be
living soul on the Island a century
hence. A hundred years ago there were
two thousand men there, and in 1880
there were 1900 Five years later, how
ever, a number Of Maoris visited the is

inhabitants. In 1870 there were only 200
persons on the island, and at present
there are hardly so.

distinctly that the twentieth century
will begin In every country at midnight
Of Dec 81, 1900. The AsiatIcs VIII begin
to enjoy It before Europeans, and Euro
peans before Americans. No one, not
even the richest man in New York, can

MIMI OE TILT M. Camille F
TWENTIETH CENTURY

An authoritative answer to the all-ab-
sorbing question when the new century
begins has just been given by NJ Camille
Flammarion, the distinguished astrono-
mer and author. An authoritative answer
his statement may we'll be styled, since
this is a subject on which he is peculiar
ly fitted to speak with authority. Chro-
nology and astronomy are closely allied,
and, being an adept astronomer, NJ Flam-
marion is necessarily also specially we'll
qualified to grapple with any problem
the solution Of which depends on a right
understanding Of chronology.
From this statement, which covers the
ground thoroughly, the following pas
sages are taken:
IF we look back at the past we will
find documents Of the year 1893, 1899 and
1899 in which this subject was discussed,
and a century hence, in 1999 our de-
scendants will be discussing the same old
subject. A century ago the discussions
were unusually lively, and extended even
to the theater. In 1900 a play appeared
with the title. Dear God, in What Centu-
ry Are We Living?' This very question
We of today are again asking
What has led many persons astray has
probably been the change in the first two
figures Of the year, as we see in the
case Of 1799-1S00 or 1S99-1900 A similar
change, however, is made when becomes
10, or when 80 becomes 100. If any one
gives me 100 cents have dollar, but the
Tooth cent Is just as necessary to my first
dollar as the ninetieth. My hundred and
first cent Is the beginning of my second
dollar. The Tooth is, IN fact, a necessary
portion OF the dollar
I'm like manner the Tooth year belongs
to the century which Is dying. Exactly.
therefore, at Midnight Of Dec. 81, 1900. will
the hour glass Of the nineteenth century
run out and at the next moment the
twentieth century will start on Its
career"
NJ. Flammarion then touches on another
most interesting question.
1--WE know now when. but do we know
where. the new century will begin?" he
asks. "Will 1t begin exactly at midnight
in Paris, London, New York or Jerusa-
lem? Exactly at midnight in every coun-
try is the answer. Yes, but when it is
midnight in Paris 1t is 1 a. m. in Vienna
VIII the Austrians then begin the CEN
fury before the French2 Certainly they
will And this brings up the timely ques-
ton, What country will be the first to
greet the new century,

a crime to smoke. Abyssinfa IS the re-
