old and New style Calendar


Under what is called the old style
the Julian calendar assumed the length
of the solar year to be 365A days,
whereas it was eleven minutes and a
few seconds less. This annual error
accumulated as years rolled on and be-
gan to be fully recognized about the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Gregorian calendar, or new style
of writing dates, was first introduced
in the year 1882, and ten days were
then struck out of the calendar. 9th
er regulations were also made-name-
~, that one day more should be drop
ped in each hundredth year which was
not fourth hundredth after 1882. In
England the old style was directed to
be discontinued and the new style in
troduced in the year 1852.
The change Of style was effected in
the following manner in September,
1852: Eleven days being the difference
between dates written according to the
two styles, old and new, the day after
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1852, was called
Thursday, Sept. IA, 1852. omitting the
Sd to the 18th, both inclusive. A care
full reading of the article on "Calen-
dar" in any encyclopedia will assist

style differences and why.

"It was just an ordinary straw sailor

y

"Would you know her again if you
saw her?"
would Iv' There was keen re-
proach in the tone of the exclamation
81 would know her in the heart of
African
"You need hardly go that far to see
her," retorted the counsel with a
smile
At the same moment the prisoner
made quick movement that attracted
the attention of the court and caused
the policeman guarding him to spring
forward. But the latter stopped short,
his eyes dilated with amazement, and
his surprise was shared by every one
whose eyes were turned on the dock.
Only Mr.. Briggs had not turned his
head. but now the counsel said to him:
"Just look, Mr. Briggs, and tell me if
you see any one in the courtroom who
reminds you of Miss Cramer."
The witness shook his head despond-
entity, but raised his eyes. They fell
full on a figure in a blue and white
gown, on a sailor hat circled with a
blue and white band, on dainty face
lighted by lustrous dark eyes that
seemed to pierce to the bottom of Mr..
Briggs heart. He gasped and cried:
TITS she!"
"And all the bellboys and the porter
echoed his cry, ITS she!"
There was silence for minute in
the courtroom, all eyes fixed on the
mysterious woman, who stood, lovely
and smiling, in the dock. Then in a
flash the woman vanished, and Tenoni
stood in her place-Tenoni, who tossed
to his counsel the gown and hat and
wig. That learned gentleman at once
addressed the court:
81 shall, with the courts permission,
ask few questions of the prisoner
that will, / think, effectually clear up
this mystery.

II wished to play a practical joke
that would set New York talking about
me. 1 came here to get an engage
ment. l knew the fact that 1 was un-
known in this country would prevent
my getting big salary, SO l hit on
this plan to get talked about"
"And you think you have succeed
ed?'.
81 shall know when 1 am offered an
engagement"
There was talk of committing Tenoni
for contempt of court, but it came to
nothing. Instead the whole country
laughed, and all New York went to
marvel at the lightning changes of this
ingenious artist, whose salary was $500
weekly.

Paper Hunting.

One of the most exciting of all rid
ing games is paper hunting, or follow
ing trail made by dropping pieces of
paper. 1t can be made as dangerous
as steeplechasing or no more so than
an ordinary gallop over the fields. The
danger is in the fences to be ridden
over, says Country Life In America.
There is no limit to the pace but the
speed of the leading horse and the ne
cessity of keeping the trail. The hare
as the man a-horseback who lays the
trail is called, is expected to foil his
pursuers. the hounds" as cften as he
can by the arts of the fox or by his
own ingenuity. only restricted by cer-

He Meant Well.

I was laid up in the cabin of a North
Carolina mountaineer with sprained
ankle, and, though he would willingly
have provided me with the best, the
fare consisted of pones, fried squirrel
and corn coffee every meal. On the
fifth day / must have let slip some
sign that things were growing monoto-
nous. for he looked over at me and
said:
stranger, l reckoned to make a
change in this yere fodder, but it didn't

piled.

WHILE WE SLEEP.

The Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are StiII Working.
If the organs Of the body cannot be
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena of
sleepwalking, the positions in stage
coach days who slept in their saddles
and cavalrymen who do it today, in
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in u
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk in their sleep are IA
miliar to all of us. Experiments made
by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes showed
that Al per cent of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked in their
sleep. A number of things might be
proved by these statistics. Of these
sleep takers one-half of the women
and one-third of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tions on any subject, not alone that of
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years of age.
Evidently. then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working, it
Is the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all of the brain. The senses
of sight, hearing, touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the experimenter tickles it.
A child is broken of the habit Of suck
ing his thumb while asleep by putting
aloes on it. He is conscious of the bit
ter taste and dreams of wormwood.
The nerves, then, and the brain GEN.
tiers corresponding to them are awake.
A busy lawyer, exhausted by over
work, one night went out to supper
with some friends, ate, talked and
walked with them, and the next day
remembered absolutely nothing of the
occurrence. He had not been drinking.
The man was simply asleep during the
whole evening. His conscious men,
ory-that is, consciousness itself--slept.

A Hopeless Case.

There was a brilliant reception at the
house of Mrs. Amory. Among the
guests was a certain Mr.. Mackenzie, a
man of grave and somewhat taciturn
demeanor, whom several of the young
ladies present had tried to engage in
conversation, but without much sue
cess.
One of them spoke to the hostess
about him.

To cleanse glass vases, carafes or bot
ties of any sort nothing is better than a
little muriatic acid. A tablespoonful
rinsed slowly around in a vase or de-
canter will cleanse it thoroughly, re-
moving from the glass every particle of
foreign matter. The acid can then be
poured into another vase to perform
the same office and even then returned
to the bottle of supply for service on
another occasion. After the acid is out
of the vase or bottle the latter must
be rinsed inside thoroughly first with
hot soapsuds and then in several clear
waters. Muratie acid is a deadly poi
son and must be used with great eau
ton and only by an intelligent adult.
A child or servant should never be in
trusted with its use.-New York Post.

The BLACK sea differs in most re-
markabe manner from other seas and
oceans. A surface current flows con-
tinuously from the Black sea into the
Mediterranean and an under current
from the Mediterranean into the Black
sea- The latter current is salt, and, be-
ing heavier than the fresh water above.
1t remains stagnant at the bottom. Be-
ing saturated with sulphuretted hydro
gen. this wafer will not maintain life,
and so the Black sea contains no living
inhabitants below the depth of about
100 fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.

PLAIN HOUsEWORK.
There Is Nothing Like 1t as a sys-

Would you be healthy and beautiful?
Would you have strong, rounded arms,
full chest, active, well shaped lower
limbs that can dance all night and not

a good digestion and brave, steady

scarcely a perceptible fastened beat
even while you walk up a steep hill

Yes? Then do housework- just plain,
