CHINESE CROSS PURPOSES.

Chinese attacks upon the allied forces

mediation do not fully harmonic. The
latest assaults of the celestials in re-
sistance of the forward movement of
the relief column would seem TO indicate
that the contingent of the Chinese
armyln the vicinity of Tien Tsin Will
contest every foot of the way, despite
the fact that it is now known to the
Chinese rulers. or at least they have
had every opportunity of knowing,
that the sole purpose of such a move
Hlent is relief-not aggression The
only explanation of it is that the en-
3peror does not and cannot control these,
forces Ii it be true that the legations
are being protected at Pekln by the
Chinese forces, then it would appear
that the various forces are under diff
ferent leaderships and are working at
cross purposes. Ii it be true, further.
that the legations are safe, then there

These are some of the features OF the
Chinese puzzle that are not explain
able on rational ground The belief is
warranted that the Chinese nation is
in a state Of anarchy or chaos. and that
the ruling power is making an effort to
save itself without further antasoniz-

THE CHINESE CALENDAR.

The sojourner in the far east is some
times driven to wonder why the Chinese
have a calendar a all, says a writer in
the New York Tribune. They view the
passing Of time with superb indiffer-
ence: punctuality, if such a thing We're
ton, would be regarded as undignitled.
Nevertheless, they have a calendar
Which is by no means a bad one when
one considers ts immense antiquity. "A
wis'a monarch named Vac some time
about 1900 3. G. revised the calendar in
suse before that date to the form in
which it is found at present. A volume.
would be needed to explain all its pc
.cu!iarities. but now that dispatches are
mentioning Chinese dates sit is as we'll to
have some idea as to wherein the Celes-
stial calendar differs from the Gregor-
ian
The Chinese year is lunar, and there
fore consists of 354 days. Before the,
time of Yao tradition has it that the.
year consisted of $50 days, and that con-
fusion had resulted That ruler decreed
that time should be- measured by the.
moon and that every nineteen years
should contain seven additional months
almost one extra month every three
years. This reckoning is excellent; il
varies only about an hour every nine
teen years from the true time.
Altho the year is lunar its beginning
is regulated by the sun. Thus the nov
year. comes between Jan. Z. and Feb. 6.
unlike the Mohometan new year. which
lis regulated entirely by the moon and
comes at any time. winter or summer.
The year Is divided into twelve lunar
months, called by numbers as first.
second, and so on. The extra month
that comes about every three years is
mot added at the end, as, one would sun
