 John Christopher. an advanced farmer and enlightened citizen of Telco. not only Intends 10 reduce the acreage of his cot ton crop, but that of his corn also. Last year he planted his corn feet apart and made pretty good stuff. This year he in- tends to have his rows 10 feet apart. He will do his cotton the same way. In our humble opinion, If the farmers of the south Will follow Mir. Christopher's ideas cotton will be worth 40 cents per pound and corn two dollars per bushel. John has head like Collins ram, but he ad mts that If he lives thousand years. ne wlli never forget when the Ist day Of April comes again.

II took hlm hours tD halter those mules, and ey this time he was out Of breath as well as patience. He coaxed and per suaded, he swore, and he eussed, and at last he drew his gun, and pea after peal of awful thunder and fire belched forth from that powerful persaader, bat all to no purpose, mary inch would they move. Harry says that all the ropes and all the Magistrates courts m Arkansas could not have induced those mules t cross that rlver that night. He got homt in time for breakfast next morning. but he didn't have any mules, and very meek ly, mildly and in subdued voice, deliy cred to the court cross bond for oae mules.

Let US apply this 10 the year lqee.
which began with SUNDAY. The first word stands for
January, and of begins with \ The second
word stands for February, ard begins with d. which
stands for Wednesday The third word stands for
March and likewise begins with D. Following the coup
let through, 1t will be that IN 1898 April VII
begin with Saturday. May with Monday. June with
Thursday July with Saturday. August with Tuesday,
September with Friday, October with Sunday NOvem-
Der with Wednesday, and December with Friday.
With the universal Of a1nanacs and calendars n
tirne-keeping folklore of ancestors and the Three
Men of Dover have been well-nigh forgotten. Still It
is worth while even to remember the old COupet
Suppose desire to know on what day the Fourth OF
July will this year, but have calendar at hand
The doggerel tells that the first day OF July VIII be
Saturday from which it VIII readily appear that the
Fourth will fall on Tuesday. Next, suppose that /
wish to know the day upon which It VIII fall IN 1890
The initial letter Of the word Frar tells that Decem
Der this year begins Friday-nOt because F
stands for Friday but because II stands for the sixth
day of the week IN alphabetical sequence December has
thirty-One days and applying the BIC rule md that
December II falls Sunday, and that 1880 begins
Monday The Dominica Lords Day letter therefore
IS G. The initial letter in Good standing for The
seventh month. therefore indicates that July o.
viii fall on Sunday. and that July viii be Wednesig
But forefathers didn't go all this trouble
They knew that IN each succeeding year excepting
leaP-years the corresponding day Of the year ahead
fell Just one day later in the week
New-York tribune., 1905-01-22

in the fifth century they really had need to use the
letters designate the days of the week for they had
a for each They called the days by names
which meant Sunday, MoOn-day, Tiw's-day Woden's-
day, ThOr's-day, Freya's-day and Saturn sday. But
the Saxons deemed unettered heather hOrdes,
and the religious went keeping the time in their
old Roman way. When almanaCs came to be pub
lished the of the days used, but the old
of the letters was wholly abandoned is it
to this day; for still note each year the Dominica
letter.
For long time after the ananaCs began to be
printed they the luxury of the few, The masses
of the people had to do without them. And the
peents which they resOred in keeping track of the
days interesting remember. These expedients
mnemonic rhymes. Two dOggerels constituted
their calendar and handed down from generation
to generation. One of these the following
Thirty days hath September,
April. June and November
All the have thrty-one,
Save the second month alone,
Which hath twenty-eight in fine
And IN leap-year twenty-nine
So much for the months. What about the DAYS
with which the months began? These were supplied
by the Three Men of Dover, who probably purely
mythical characters created fit the needs of another
doggerel This is the way it
At Dover dwell George Brown Esquire,
Good Christopher Finch, and David Friar
This the key to the first day of every month in
the year. The doggerel contains twelve words it
New-York tribune., 1905-01-22

Wv quire Christopher Finch and
David Friar dwelt at Dover England,
not, and whether such lived not, Is
wholly immateriaL They did much good in the
world by answering the purposes of almanac and
keeping the people posted to the days And if
could be of real service in such way this
without going to the trouble of having any actual
mortal existence perhaps it all the better for them
These belong to the folklore OF the English people,
and bound to honor their venerable shades 1t
interesting note the customs of primitive peoples
in the reckoning of time; and the Three Men of
Dover have been of service in popularizing scheme
as ancient the early Christian ages
The ancient Romans had weeks weekdays,
only months and days of the month Yet they could
trust themselves to thirty days in succession
but counted forward always, to of three notable
days in each month The Hawaiians, before the
introduction of Christianity had weeks but had
separate name for every day of the nonth-an aston
ishing evidence of their intellectual activity.
When the Romans began to be Christianized it
became necessary for them to observe the first day of
the week which call Sunday, and to give it a name
They reverently called it "Dontinica" which might
be translated Lords Day" Beginning with the
first day of the year they down in their calendar
represented the second day, the third, and
to c. after which the letters repeated throughout
the year If the year began with Sunday, then the let
ter indicated Sunday throughout the year unless it
leap-year. Whichever letter indicated Sunday
called the Dominica Letter" for the year

with reference to whaling it is noteworthy that while
their forefathers prosecuted the old time whaehshery
until fifty years ago, when its decline became
marked the younger generations knew little moth
ing of the business and ten years ago, when
liner was wrecked Cape Race the cOast-folk,
in salvng her cargo burned whalebone worth twelve
thousand dollars ton in order to leather worth
only thirty a pound. With the inherited in
stnct however, they have taken hold of the modern
and have developed it to present phenomenal
proportions.

being slaughtered IN such numbers, and Il -Ea
spiraton that big dividends give which IS causing
so great a boom in the business. Not the least se-
nifcant feature Of the situation, moreover, s. that

chase always Is eXh1lar-
ating, and sometimes
thrilling, for the whale is
wary and on occasions
has to be followed for
miles before a shot can
be made. Then. when
the bolt is fired, the crea-
ture races off with the
ship, until, weak and
blOodless, it hes on the
surface and expires with
a last mad furry.

One of the most remarkable exhibits in the Natural

yet not without its ele-
ment of danger. Some
times a wounded fish will
turn and attack the ship.
and it takes a cool head
and quick judgment to
avoid being destroyed. A
whaler was sunk with all
hands off Norway last
year in this manner, and
the previous year two
were destroyed by infuri-
ated whales. Fortunate
ly, however, the New
foundland fleet has es-
capped any such catas-
trophe so far. But it is
not uncommonf for whales,
when the harpoon fails to
strike a vital point, to
drag the ship about the
ocean for hours lin one
ease twenty-six hours and
in another twenty-three,

AK has to be stationed

sever the stout hemp
line that is attached to
the harpoon and holds
the whale fast when the
situation becomes critical.

TIE President Sets . Rev Precedent.
No president of the United States
ever left its borders at all during his
term of office. When President
Roosevelt goes from New Orleans to
Washington on a naval vessel, as he
purposes doing, he will have set a
new precedent by leaving the Dor
ders of the country. The territorial
Jurisdiction of the United States ex-
tends three miles at sea along It's
coast, but it will not be possible for
the vessel carrying President Roose-
welt to keep within the three mile
limit during the whole trip. Cape
Hatteras puts that out of the gues-
ton. During the whole of the trip,
however, the president will be able
to keep i'm touch with the land and
with Washington by MEANS of the
wireless telegraph. His vessel will
be equipped with wireless apparatus.
and there will not be "A moment when
he cannot send and receive messages.
That IL u convenience no former
president has been able tn command.
