The Twentieth Century.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-The question as to whether me
twentieth century was usnereu INTO eA ,a3c
euce upon the LIST day of January. 1850,
or whether its advent awaits the arrival
Of the year 1901. is, perhaps, of no practl-
cal Importance, but it possesses at least
sufficient interest to have occasioned con-
siderable discussion N the press and else
where.
Judging from what we have seen
written on the subject, the WetSn1 OF
opinion seems TO hold to the latter GATE
as that upon which tho twentieth CEN
fury vii. be iraugurated. We note thaI
in last Thursday edition the Dispatch
quotes. at some length. the usual arEu-
ment In support Of that contention, ana
takes occasion. editorially. to express its
opinion that 1901 Will begin the new cen
Jury.
In the first place, we take it to be an
admitted fact that the Christian era
begins with what was supposed 10 be
the date CT the birth OF our Saviour.
Therefore, taking that event as the start
ing point. from which time has since
been reclloned. the period OF twelve
months must have elapsed, before the
Christian era was one year old.
Referring to the diagram, this first year
will be seen to be included between Inc
star and the figure /, so that when the
figure 1 was reached. the first year Of
tho Christian era had been completed.
Thus also when was reached the second
year had been completed: when 3 was
reached the third year had been COM
ple:ed: when SO was reached the ninety
ninth year had been completed: when 100
was reached the one hundredth year had
been completed, and when 1900 was reach
ed. the nineteen hundredth year had been
completed and the twentieth century was
inaugIrated.
We would have no fault to find with
the method adopted by our friends. in
counting apples. or potatoes, by way OF
illustration Of their method Of reckoning
time, except for the fact that they are
not apples. nor potatoes with which we
have to deal, in making any chronological
calculation; and the fallacy of their argu-
ment appears. in their failure to observe
that in reckoning time, from any
given period, or event. full twelve
months must elapse before the first year
thereafter Is completed
Recognizing this fact. the conclusion
seems inevitable, that the twentieth cen
tury began the first minute of January
1st, 1860.

THE MURDERED GUIDE.

A Youth was traversing the
Valley of Life.
And his mother employed for
him safe guide, whose name was
Conscience, to pilot him across.
Pretty soon the Youth wished to
venture into inviting by-paths re-
CARELESS of Conscience, but the
faithful guide warned him of
dangers at the end of these SEEM
ingly pleasant ways.
Presently Conscience, to save
the Youth, was forced to chastise
him.
And the Youth grew wroth and
felled the guide to the earth and
and left him by the roadside for
dead.
Pursuing his journey he came 10
a fork of the road and there ahead
stood Conscience, who urged him
faithfully as ever to take the right
way.
But the Left seemed fairer and
the Youth persisted
Conscience wrestled with him
and the Youth slew him and buried
him.
Then he went on.
And the road was beset with
dangers.
And the Youth returned to the
grave of the old guide.
But it was overgrown with pois-
onous weeds called Remorse, which
suffocated him with it's breath
