Until the middle of the eighteenth
century March was the first month
of the year over in England. The year
always began with March 25. We
have had three calendars since Christ.
The first was the Roman calendar,
and March was made the first month.
The Romans named it March after
their god of war; Mars. The second
was the Julian calendar, and the
third, which is now used throughout
the civilized world, is known as the
Gregorian lendar.-Knowledge

recovered against Leeds tobacconist
the sum of e1,oS6 as penalties for
smuggling. The tobacco in question
was landed at Hull in coffins and in
hollow pieces of timber. Doubtless
for awhile the customs officers prod
ded all coffins and sounded all tim
Der, just as they will now stick a
pitchfork into every bale of hay. But
eventually the suspected article be-
comes the safest.

Coren,s National Game.

The father of all the gambling
games was a game which still is the
national game of Corea under the
name of nyout. 1t is played with a
board marked out with series of
circles. The players use four slaves
which they throw as dice are thrown,
and, according to their throws, they
move counters around the board.
The counters are called men in
Corea, as they are called in practi-
cally all the world. The name orig
mated with the ancient Chinese, who
were as inveterate gamblers then as
they are now. Nyout is the proto-
type of all the modern games known
as fox and geese, game of geese,
steeplechase, snake game, and the
scores of others that are based on
the same principle. The old Hindoo
game of pachesi also is based on the
game of nyout. The University of
Pennsylvania has collected the games
of different countries all based direct
ly on the game of goose and indirect
ly on, the game of nyout. A popular
Corean form of the game that is
played much to-day is tying-kyong-to,
in which five-sided stave is used in
stead of cubical dice.-Detroit Free

There seems to be no love lost be-
tween George Silzer and Mayor
viehmann, of New Brunswick. The
Mayor vetoed the ordinance granting
a franchise to the telephone company
which is represented by Mr.. Silzer
and the latter has expressed his
opinion of the Mayors action very
freely. AS these two men are leaders
for the senatorial nomination on the
Democratic ticket this fall it looks as
though that party will, after all, have
to choose Perth Amboy man to keep
peace in the family.

OF THE FESTIVAL Will BE
STAGE PRODUCTION OF THE
JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.
Was One Of Chief Attractions OF Pan
American Exposition, and Recent
ly Secured by Carnival People.

The committee on amusement Of
the spring festival has been notified
by Manager Gaskill that he has Sc
cured a facsimile of one of the most
can exposition, the Johnstown Flood.
It is mechanical reproduction of
the panorama of everyday events
the setting and rising of the sun. the
beautiful effects of the moon, the
thunder and lightning of terrific
electric storm, anil the stupendous
burst of water that came over the
city of Johnstown with the breaking
of the DAM This show is a spectacle
of impressive dignity and lifelike ap-
pearance. 1t seems to have struck
the popular fancy. It is set on an or
binary stage, and is in reality per-
formance in pantomime, where all the
actors are from real life, reproduced
with poetic fancy, a sunny history of
blithesome, everyday experience in
miniature, and by an ingenious mech
anism and the skillful use of the value
of perspectives, brought to startling
realism A mighty tragedy of bold
blunt execution grand in terrific en-
ergy, involving in reality an entire
populous city, lives again in memory
through the medium of a bit of stage
craft. A horror in a peculiar object
to chose for depletion as an entertain
ment, yet CDR. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde"
packed the theaters for months. and
the weird marvels of Edgar Allen Poe
still captivate the youthful imagina-
ton as they have the critical judg
ment of his peers. The love for the
intense and the dominant interest in
dramatic situations makes the produc-
tion of such a catastrophe as the
Johnstown flood something more than
an appeal to morbid taste. Those who
visit the coming festival which will
be held in Pine Bluff May II, should
not fail to visit this feature It is
the first and only show of its kind
that has ever visited this city, and
perhaps it will be the last, so don't
fail to see it.

one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
