Opinions of the Press.
When the Century Ends.

1t Is nothing short of astonishing to see
the discussion going on through the news
papers about the date of the ending OF the
10Th and the beginning of the goth GEN.
fury. How anybody who has brain free
from cobwebs can have any doubt about it
we do not see. There cannot possibly be
but one accurate answer. That answer Is,
January 81, 1900, at midnight. The fact
that in general way the round figure, are
loosely used to indicate the centuries
proves nothing.
The Christian era dates from the birth
OF Christ His birth therefore must have
been on the first moment of the first day of
the first year of the first century. How
else can the era date from his birthp II
then, Ammo Domini began with the first day
of the year one, the end OF the year found
Christ and the Christian era one year old
At the end OF the SD year-not at the be-
ginning of the year-at the end OF that
year Christ and the first century were SO
years old. At the end-not at the begin
ming of the goth year the first century Of
the Christian era was exactly SO years old.
At the end-not at the beginning-of the
Tooth year the first century OF the Chris
tan era was 100 years old at midnight,
and complete. Immediately after mid
night OF the completion of the Tooth year,
the first day of the year 1O1 began, which
was the beginning of the second century.
Now, work up from that and see how you
come out.-Burlington News.

A Small Boys Big Bear.

The largest bear killed in middle
Pennsylvania for many years was of the
genuine Black mountain variety, and
tipped the scales at $50 pounds. 1t at
tracted great deal of attention when
brought to Altoona, especially as it had
been shot by boy IA years old. The
boys father tells the tale. 1--WE had
been after the animal for several
weeks, off and on, and twice we fol-
lowed him to his lair, but could not dis
lodge him. The other morning the bear
was seen in a field not far from my
house, and my brother and L, with my
son, gave him a hot chase. He gained on
us. and we would likely have lost him
had it not been for the boy. We had
posted him on the public road where the
bear had crossed before, and, sure
enough, Bruin took the same track this
time. The boy saw him coming. and.
although it must have been a terrify-
ing sight, he held his ground and plant
ed bullet square into the bears brain"
