from sunset until dawn a terrific and

But once his dreadful night is

with a long drawn sigh of relief, pre-

Dressed in many colored silks, they
repair first to the temples to offer

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

New York Herald.-We print in an
other column an interesting state
ment from our Washington ccrrespon-
dent concerning the effort that is be-
ing made to have the metric system
of measurement made compulsory in
this country. Why there should be
this persistency in urging this matter
forward we cannot understand.-Bos-
ton Herald.
We are surprised that our usually
aler contemporary cannot under
stand a matter that has been made
so plain by an army of scientists, edu-
Gators, manufacturers and merchants
engaged in foreign trade.
We have a decimal currency sys~
TEN and appreciate It's advantages.
Adoption or the decimal metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures would
be infinitely more advantageous. 1t
would not only shorten by two years
the education of every child and sim
plify all daily domestic business trans
actions, but would save time and la
Dor in dealing with other countries
and stimulate commerce. The Littauer
bill should be enacted.

who became a nabob in the pursuit

the Persian BARRIERS are considered
the best tonsorial artists in the orient.
Speaking of the peculiar boats in
which the Persians navigate their
river, they have retained that queer
shape since time immemorial, for
they were known in prehistoric ages.
They are made of light straw wood,

THE SIAM e Sc.

The Siamese "Choola Sakarat," or
religious new year, generally falls on
the day after the first full moon in
the month of March. The Brahmin
astrologer, whose sole duty 1t is to
point out the aspect of the sun, moon
and stars, heralds the approaching
full moon by setting in motion all the
multitudinous gongs and temple bells
in the city far and near. The people
who are always ready, waiting, for
this signal, have generally finished
their business for the year. Debts
have been paid off, accounts closed,
merchandise disposed of and all traf-
fic of buying and selling suspended
three days previous to the expected
event.
The announcement made by the
many tongued instruments is receiv-
ed by the vast population that in

From The Country Day by Day, by

more rest-inviting sound than the
faint cav of some setting rock on a
sunny spring afternoon, high up amid
the delicate tracery of the elms
lowering branches against the daz-
cling blue. She is some young bird,
who started later than her seniors
upon the seasons cares and joys;
for the other nests are tenanted now
only by callow squads, and as the
flock Of rocks return at sunset, you
will see that on approaching the
rookery it breaks UP into pairs, both
parents having been at liberty to
forage for food for their growing
young. But through the long hours
of sunny afternoon the young mother

emphasizing the silence of the
empty rookery with soft cav at in

When the nightingale first arrives,
sunny noon is the best time to hear
him. The nights are scarcely warm
enough either for him to enjoy sing

listen. But, if you can hnd sunny,
sheltered nook at midday, where you
can sit, with the buzz and glitter of
spring all round you, and listen to
the russell nightingales challenging
each other in ripping music from
their several thickets, what more can
you want for half an hour of happi-
ness? The nightingale has the rep
utation of being shy bird; but If
you do not keep moving about you
will find that he deliberately comes
nearer and nearer to you to sing; but
If you happen to have stationed your
self too close to a position which
he desires TO occupy, he will drop
down into the underground and fid-
get about all round you, uttering his
peculiar harsh croak of protest, like
frog with a bad sore throat. Some.
times, too, he will interrupt himself
| in the middle of his song TO utter
this hoarse note, perhaps because

music where he left OFF At other
times you may see one pursuing an.

they go. Incidents like these more

Falls on those waiting there,
A moment when the soul is thrilled
By Wondrous quiet rare.
TITS over; let glad voices cry;
This is a glorious morn.
Another soul has cone to earth
A little child Is born.
Amid the flowers there is peace,
For, see, that lily there
Holds attention Of the rest
That plant so wondTous fair.
A moment, and the spell is past;
A perfume Of delight
Greets the new flower soul just born
A lily bursts to sight.
The midnight hush intensified
Hangs DER the earth tonight,
AS if awaiting some great change;
The world is still and white.
IT'S come! The earth is born again;
The old must disappear.
Hail to the new! A thousand tongues
Greet gayly the new year.

For those that here we see no

The passing year 1896 was a leap
year, and, under ordinary circum-
stances 1900 would be, but it will not

the years which have 366 days are

that are exactly Invisible by 400 and
not by 1000; hence the year 1000 A

THE GREGoRlAN CALENDAR.
The present time measurement that
Is now used by nearly all nations is
the remodeled system adopted by
julius Caesar In the year AZ b. G.
There were 35i, $50 and 800 days in
tho Greek year at different times
Under Numa the Roman year had
355 days. and there was so much
variance between the civil and the
astronomical year that the autumn
feasts were celebrated in the spring
and those of harvest in midwinter,
Every second year an extra month,
called Mercedonius, was added This
month had no certain length, but was
arranged by the pontiffs as they saw
tit, which naturally gave rise to cor
cuption and fraud, interfering with
the duration of office and the collec-
ton of debts, In order to restore
the seasons to their proper months
II was necessary for Caesar to make
the year in which he inaugurated the
change contain 445 days. On the
! hypothesis that tho astronomical
year consisted of 1854 days, he had
each fourth year contain 500 days and
the others S65 The extra day WAS
added TO the gath of February, which
was called Sextocalendas, being the
sixth before the calendo, or LIST OF
March, celebrated In honor of the
expulsion of the kings. The add
tional day was placed next to this
feast and known as Bls-sexto-calen
das,
But this year of Caesar was too
Ilong by II minutes and 1895 seconds
OF about three days In 400 years. 81
that by A. ID. 1882 the error amount
cd to ten days at least. To correc
this miscalculaticn, Pore Gregor,
| XIII ordered that Oct s, 1859, shout,
