These two nations thus lag something over eleven days behind other Christian countries. Gregory, put his calendar Into effect in 15S2 but it was not until 1752 that English law fixed the beginning of the year at January l, the same statute cancelling eleven days and making the third of September of that year Septem- Der IA.
 The calendar of Gregory XIII. as origi- nally promulgated, was not exactly &C., curate, nor is it to this day, but the present method of inserting and failing to insert twenty ninths of Februaries Is such as to keep fairly in accord with the earth as it revolves around the sun.
 On one point the Gregorian calendar always is at odds with facts, but this was arranged with full knowledge of the inaccuracy. Upon the date of Easter Is fixed the time of other movable festi- wales. and in order to prevent the co-inci- denee of the Christian Paschal feast and that of the Jews, a fictitious moon Is fixed to take the place of the true moon of the period.
 The Gregorian calendar is 36n years be- hind the calendar of tho Jews. Thus, 1907, A D., is 557S according to Hebra1o reckoning.

We know that Jesus had brothers named Judas and James; that Jude Is another form of the name Judas, and that this letter was written by Jude, the brother of James, It was quite natural for him to speak of himself as the brother of James, the well known bishop of the church at Jerusalem.
 We know that these brothers of Jesus did not believe In Him during His min istry on earth, and that they even tried to discredt Him as a preacher; but

 One of the most practical books in the New Testament, and one of the most Christ-like in contents and in style, Is the Epistle of James. Certain mental powers run in families, and 1t is especially in structive to read the Epistles of James and Jude, and compare them as to style and contents with the preaching of Jesus. They are so pithy, so pointed, they go so straight to the mark, and there Is nothing superfluous.

Another effort is to be made at once
to induce Jim Jeffries, the real cham
pion heavyweight of the world, to re-
consider his determination not to box
a colored man and to take on Jack
Johnson, the giant boxer who so easily
knocked out Jim Flynn at Colma III
45-round fight on New Years after
noon. Jimmy Coffroth will see Jeffries
and put the proposition up to thu
champion in such straight manner
that he will either have to emerge
from retirement or pass up the fight
ing game forever Coffroth is pre-
pared to meet any demand the big
fellow makes as to the purse for the
bout, and on his part johnson stands
ready to fight winner take all or to di-
vide the money in any manner that it
wanted by Jeffries. In addition to the
purse money Coffroth is willing to Of

fortune for the one fight Among the
other tempting bats that will be
dangled before the eyes of JEFF will be
a lions share of the money made
through the receipts of the moving
pictures of the fight While Coffroth
has not said what he is willing to offer
in the way of a purse it is understood
that he can go as far as $4,000, and
this with other coin that Jeffries
would be able to gather, would bring
his earnings up to more than $500, 900
should he succeed in beating the
husky colored man. So well satisfied
Is Coffroth that he will be able to get
Jeffries to re-enter the ring that he is
already planning what he will do to
make the holding of the battle sue
cess. If Jeffries comes through with
his signature to the article Coffroth's
fighting arena at Colma will be re-
built SO as to provide seats for twice
as many people as it holds now. The
Colma arena is 20 minutes ride from
this city. Racing will be in full blast
at Oakland and Los Angeles at the
time the fight will be held, and the
contest will draw thousands of the
race track people, as well as the usual
crowd that this city supplies to all
big fights. In addition fight of this
Importance will draw hundreds from
far-away places that would not turn
out for any contest of less Importance.
The Nome athletes are arranging
the longest trip on record. The
Young Mems Christian Association
basket ball team of Nome, Alaska,
will visit every state in the union that
winter and play a series of games in
each. The Alaskan team is composed
of members of the Young Mems Chris
ton Association and the five of the
Arctic Brotherhood, which teams have
brought the basket ball interest in
Alaska to a boiling point during the
last two seasons by their close and
speedy play, and it was due to the eff
forts of some of the more prominent
business men of Nome that the team
was sent south, with $4,000 behind it.
Alaska. The team is now assembling
in Seattle, Wash, for little prelimin-
airy practice under the eyes of Peter
Overfield, the former Pennsylvania
football center, and in about a months
time will start eastward in its private
car to play the college teams and those
of athletic clubs from Montreal to
New Orleans and from Seattle to Bos-
ton. It took very little time to con-
vince the Alaska business men that
trip of such a team would be clever
advertisement for their country, and
$4,000 was quickly raised to bear the
expenses of the trip, and the team will
travel entirely in it's private car.
1t is settled that only four teams
will comprise the International
Hockey league the coming season.
This was decided at the adjourned an
nual meeting of the club owners held
at Marquette, Mich. The sevens will be
those of Houghton, Calumet and the
American and Canadian Soos. The
Pittsburg team has withdrawn because
of the great distance necessary to
travel without a break between the
Smoky City and the Lake Superior
region. A proposition was presented
on behalf of Toronto, but 1t was in
definite and was not acted upon. Du-
luth will have team for the season
of 190S-9, and possibly Chicago also.
