Errers Of Ola Calendar
The complications growing out OF
the errors in the Julian calendar.

Christian nations, gave rise 20 an
agitation in the 18TH century for

houses, with few exceptions, were then
single storied that it's streets were ILL
paved and very rough to travel on. In the
short interval a great proportion of the
houses have been raised to four or five
stories. The streets have everywhere in
the more central parts bee1l paved with
asphalt or wood. Tramways have been
laid down every street, with one single ex-
ception, the Bond street of Buenos Ayres,
too narrow for the purpose. A splendid
new avenue Of 120 feet In width has been
driven at great cost through the center of
the city for distance of one mile, and is
already lined by palatial hotels and COM
mercial buildings. Several other avenues
have been laid out in new quarters. Quite
a number of open spaces have been pro-

MIR. CRoKER's VANTAGE.
The Sort of Place IL is, and why He
Went There.

From the London Telegraph
In these days Of Winchester festivities
and national millenniums. it has been some
what too widely forgotten that the town
where King Alfred was born celebrated the
anniversary OF his birth more than fifty
years ago, not only by a statue, which
stands in the Vantage market place, but
by the reorganization of an ancient gram
mar school. where most of the hardy yeo-
men farmers in that district received their
education. Few more appropriate memo
rials to the founder of English education
could have been conceived. and Miss Glib
bons has been well advised to take ad-
vantage of the present interest in all that
pertains to the great West Saxon leader by
issuing an authoritative history of the town
which gave him birth.
The quiet town of Vantage has suddenly
found itself placarded with a strange no.
toriety in the past year or two. No doubt
1t was chiefly its almost unequaled oppor-
tunitles for training race horses that first
attracted the celebrated Mr.. Croker to this
district, district which persistently claims
the honor of the birth of Eclipse against
all the assertions of the inhabitants of
Windsor Great Park or the Isle of Dogs
ana sportsmen who follow the doings of
thoroughbreds in training are by now well
accustomed to turning to the news of Wan
tage for report of what Mr.. Morton or
Mr. Hornby, or MIR. Robson have been
passing phrases of publicity the town is
very little disturbed. 1t was content for a
long time with the reputation of King Al
fred. Then Bishop Butler of the Analogy
conferred more modern luster upon the
town where he was born and educated and
in these last years it was the energy and
organization Of another Butler, Butler OF
Vantage" as the Dean of Lincoln was
called to the end of his strenuous career
which finally raised the little Berkshire
town out Of its old rut and placed it in the
forefront of model educational centers. The
name is associated, too, with that of the
peer, but lately dead, who took It for his
title. Lord Vantage did much for the
place In which he was so largely interest,"
cd, ana among the most picturesque records
OF his generosity will ever be that Gallery
OF the Victoria Cross, where the first heroes
OF that splendid decoration are commemo-
rated by the art of Chevalier Desanges. II
would be pity If this historic series were
left incomplete by the lack of the more re-
cent owners Of the cross in the period after
the artists work here preserved WAS STOP
ped. for it would be difficult to find more
stirring or interesting collection of patriotic
pictures in any gallery in the world.

TOUCHING A CHINAMAN.
Fad Recently Developed by the
Women of New Orleans.

Fad Recently Developed by the
Women of New Orleans.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
1.-THE habit of touching Chinaman has
developed into a regular fad with the Wo-
men," said a bright young woman yester-
day, land it would really surprise you to
know how many women are rushing
around trying to gently brush the clothes
Of Chinaman while passing him on the
street 1t gives one good luck, you know.
1t helps one to realize ones wish IN life,
and gives sort of impetus to good for
tune. At least the habit women now have
Of touching a Chinaman, as they call It,
is based on this legendary idea. OF course,
they do 1t playfully. They even g1ggie
when they do it, and seem to get world
of fun out of 1t.
IT saw a young girl at one of the rail-
road stations a few evenings ago figure in
a rather embarrassing incident on account
of her ambition and her effort to touch
Chinaman. The oriental had drifted into
the station and was evidently bent on an
out -of-town trip, and he was going at
rather rapid rate, probably fearing that he
would miss his train. AS soon as the girl
spied him she jumped up and made quick
dart, evidently for the purpose Of crossing
the Chinamans path at a certain point and
just brushing him as he passed. OF course,
she would not dare to look at the China
man. Here is probably where she made
INSTANT AZ any Idlc, eltHSI lHe SIIi VI
the Chinaman erred. Both were walking
rapidly and each seemed to be Indifferent
to the course of the other. She touched
the Chinaman all right, and If the good
luck incident to the act of touching is
measured by the vigor and force Of the
touch good fortune ought to shower on
her whole family. 1t was a fierce COLI
sion. The girl was embarrassed, and from
the capers cut by the Chinaman he evil
IDENTIFY thought freight train had hit him.
Yes, indeed, this business Of touching
a Chinaman is a regular fad now, and If
you see girl rushing wildly and aimlessy
down the street, watch her and see If she
doesn't brush the clothes of Mongolian
gently in passing"
