ODD CALENDARS.
Twelve Days Ahead of Ev-
erythinE Else.

The most out-of-date almanac is that
possessed by. Russia, while the palm for
the "largest circulation" goes to thai
issued from Peking. Incredible though
it may sound, it is nevertheless fact
that the land of the Great White Tsar
still cherishes a calendar which is l2
days ahead of everybody else, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
IT Is true that our own calendar was
II days out until 1881. Then our Eng
lish forefathers put it straight by drop
ping these spare days out of the reck-
oning, much TO the dismay of the un-
educated. The public state of mind al
that time may best be realized from
the fact that it held riotous mass meet
ings, TO protest against the robbery"
with bands and banners, from the lat
ter of which blazed forth its grievance:
"Give us our IL days!" Indeed, II was
not until several heads had been broken
by the swords of the military that
those which stillTemained intact cooled
sufficiently TO appreciate the fact that
the change was inevitable, and not
merely the outcome of government
dodge TO fleece the worhngman out OF
II days pay.

NIGHTKEYs FOR CHRISTMAS
why "A Brooklyn Man and wife Re.
ceived Them from Their Next
Door ReIghbOrS.

A Brooklyn man and wife have had
two peculiar experiences which have
caused them TO be talked about in their
neighborhood. A few months ago they
went out for the evening and forgot TO
take a nigdkey. The servant was out
the same night. When the man and his
wife returned and failed TO get re-
sponse to their ring, the husband
smashed one of the windows and
crawled in. In this way he opened the
door and admitted his wife, says the
New York Sun.
One experience of this character is
sufficient TO make an impression, but ii
left no warning on the mind of this
man. Not long after the incident he ana
his wife again went out and forgot a
night key. Failing TO get in on their
return the man sent his wife to neigh
boris while he went over to hotel near
by TO borrow jimmy, as he had decid-
I'd to get in with that and save the eX-
pense of window glass. Armed with
the implement he returned, and after
considerable effort he forced the door.
walked upstairs and found his neigh
bors and his wife enjoying themselves.
He had forced the doors of his neigh
bors' house, adjoining his own and
architecturally counterpart of it.
Then his wife made the discovery that
she had the key Of her house.
Among the Christmas offerings re-
ceived by the man and wife was a
bunch of night keys.

A GRAVEYARD PROMOTER.
An EnterprIsinE MissOurinn who HAS
become a PIutocrRt In the
Businesr.

"You eastern people are not the only
enterprising inhabitants of the GLOBE"
said an enthusiastic man in New York
business house, according TO the Sun
of that city. II have neighboi
in Pemiscot county, my state, Missouri,
who is sort of plutocrat in graveyards
Some years ago he opened tombstone
factory in his part of the state, and as
he marked down the price, he had quite
boom in his business. In short time
there was monument or headstone
at every grave in the cemetery, and as
live people do not buy tombstones, this
mans business was hit by what your
Wall street folks call furry. What
does he do but go TO another town not
far away and buy a graveyard of his
own, and put down the price Of lots.
This caused quite cemetery boom un-
| til all the lots were disposed of. AS
soon as some of the people began TO die
| the enterprising tombstone dealer was
again in the whirl, or, as my old friend
| Wilbur Il. Storey was wont to say of bis
| paper, on the top crest of the advanc-
ing wave. In year or so he had every
grave in the cemetery marked with his
goods, and another thud hit his busi-
ness. But he rallied. went to another
town, invested in another graveyard
site, and manipulated this scheme as he
had the others, and with like results.
THAT makes three cemeteries he has
started, filed and marked, and the last
time saw him he told me he was look.

The scotn nnd narnrannn.

In a paper on Recent Ethnograph-
ical Work In Scotland" read before the
British association, Mr.. Gray described
his observations on the color of THE
hair and eyes of the schoolchildren OF
East Aberdeenshire. The pigmenta-
tion of the Scotch children was shown
in table and compared with the con-
tinental districts, whence, according
to tradition and history, tile lowland
Scots derived large element of their
population--viz.: Schleswig- Holstein,
Lueneberg, and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
the reputed original seats of the Angles
and Saxons. The tables showed that
the three north German districts were
more blonde than East Aberdeenshire.
Germany got more brunette and less
blonde from north 10 SOUTH and we
must go as far as upper Bavaria to get
a district aPproximating in pigmenia-
tion TO East AberdeeDshire.

A Standard Among News.
papers.

Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year The Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make a model paper for the indi-
vldual and for the family. The Times
is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of his
tory may be complete and in its longer
range overlooking nothing that occurs
at home. 1t is clean, dignified and re-
liable, certain that no lack of these
features can be made up in offensive
sensationalism. it can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filled with wholesome
instruction and entertainment Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized
as the best type of a concise, crisp and
complete newspaper, and among news
paper men it is the publication with
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times is Republican
IN politics, it realizes that others have
a right to be On earth, and that poll
tics are not everything. When one
cent a day will buy a morning paper II
is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars year or six
cents week, and worth the money.
