THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

The nineteenth century closes with
the year 1900. Immediately after mid
night, therefore, of December 81, 1900,
is when the twentieth century begins.
In other words, 1t begins with the first
second of the first hour of the first day
OF January, 1901. The twentieth cen
fury will open on Tuesday and close
on a Sunday. 1t will have the greatest
number of leap years possible for a
century-twenty-four. The wear 1904
will be the first one then every fourth
year after that. to and including the
year 1000. February will three times
have five Sundays: in 1920, 194S and
1876. The twentieth century will con-
tain $685. days. which lacks but one
day of being exactly 5.21S weeks. The
middle day of the century will be jan
uary l, 1851. Several announcements
are made of changes to be inaugurated
with the opening of the new century
The first of Importance is that Russia
VIII adopt the Gregorian calendar
Ihis will be done by omitting thirteen
days' the amount of error that will
nave accumulated after the close of
FEBRUARY. 1900 The Russians will
then write January l. 1901. instead of
December 10. 1900. or rather, instead of
both according to the dual system now
In vogue in that country and in Greece.
The other important announcement is
that 1t is not at all unlikely that the
astronomical day, which now begins
at noon of the civil day, will begin
with the civil day. at midnight The
present method of having the astrono-
mical day to begin twelve hours after
the beginning of the civil day is apt to
be confusing. On the other hand. to
have the former begin at midnight
just when astronomers are often bus
lest, will be 10 them somewhat incon.
venient.

it was referred, should have answered
| it in such a tone of ridicule as to
produce roars of laughter.
Miss Anthony was one of the earliest
agitators for the abolition of slavery.
Under her guidance meetings were
held all through New York state. She
and her friends were mobbed and the
meetings broken up in every town
from Buffalo to Albany. But she re-
manned undaunted. During the war she
and her coworkers sent in petitions of
nearly 100000 names to congress.
Charles Summer wrote in one of his
letters to her:
Send in the petitions; they furnish
the only background to my demands. I"
At the time Of the enfranchisement
of the negroes Miss Anthony and Mrs.
Stanton were almost alone in their de-
mands for having the word sex"
struck from the fifteenth amendment.
In recent letter from Miss Anthony,
referring to the late Joseph Medill,
she writes:
He always used to say: Why, Miss
Anthony, if all women were like you
and Mrs. Stanton, should say let all
women vote.'"
At the first meeting of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association, in
1866, Miss Anthony was given author
ity to speak before congress through
the interest of the late ex-senator
Harlan of Iowa.
The result of the general move
ment has been the granting of suf-
frage in four states: Wyoming, Color
ado, Utah and Idaho; municipal suf-
frage in Kansas; and the right to vote
on educational questions in many
states.
Whatever ones views may be of the
chief aim of Miss Anthony's work, one
cannot ignore the advancement that
woman, especially the American wo-
man, has made in the latter half of
this century, and every woman whose
labor is recognized as on an equal foot
ing with mans must feel that she owes
a debt of gratitude to the one who
has made straight the way"
Miss Anthony's motto, like Garri-
sons, has always been: mo COM
promise" At the outset of her life
she decided to consecrate herself to her
work, and for that reason she never
married. Her purpose is, perhaps,
best summed up in her own words in
answer to the question if she prayed:
II pray every single second of my
life, not on my knees, but with my
work-work and worship are one with
me-"
