NV STYLE AND ruE olD.

january tho lfth Is the first day of
the new year in Russia, where the "old
style" of recording time stil is the
fashion. This reminds MS that the
present calendar is the result OF ages
OF observations. calculations and COR
rectons
During the time of Julius Caesar u
was discovered that the Roman year
was so far out OF harmony with the
movements Of the heavenly bodies that
iu order TO make the vorual equinox
correspond with the date on which e.
had fallen seven hundred years be-
fore. Il was necessary TO add several
days TO the year and make q contain
AS days AZ the same time, In order
to prevent the recurrence OF the ere
ror the year was divided into 1854
days. and an extra day was added 20
every fourth year
The astronomers OF the Roman em-
pirc knew that the year as now de-
fined stil was about eleven minutes
ana 3S seconds too short. but no pro-
vision was made Tor the correction
Of this error. and, consequently, in the
course Of time several days were lost.
Pope Gregory tho Great recognized the
importance OF a reform of the calendar.
and IN 1852. the catholic world drop
ped ten days out OF the month Of
October Thus the following New years
day came On the Catholic countries ten
days earlier than IN other parts OF the
world. This new calendar became
known as the "new style"
England adopted the Gregoriau cali
endar Ia 1852. Russia Is about the only
great country that sim adheres to the
old style. In order 70 catch mp with the
rest OF the world now the Russians
would have 90 drop l3 days out of
their year. and that is perhaps not

AN ENVIABIE CITY.


The financial condition Of the city OF
Holyoke, says the Springfield Repub-
lican. Is worthy Of comment, and envy.
The situation there IS this that the
municipal Indebtedness is steadily de-
creasing. while at tho same time tho
work OF Improvement is going on with
out interruption. Is there amy reason
ln the world why other American cities
should not be managed IN a similar
manner is there amy reason aside
from graft why the cities Of this coun-
try should not Dee run ON business prin-
ciuos?
The Mayor OF Holyoke shows that the
city's net debt. exclusive OF the water
and gas departments. Is Sl,ii5,tOo. The
showing the Republican says, Is q

lions of Mayors Avery and Chaplin.
