A New Calendar.

This is uneuestionably an era of change.
of innovation and OF evolution. Many
are the propositions to alter the existing
order of things to substitute more CIV
iIized" methods for the old traditional
processes. 1t is TO be expected that the
day OF airships should bring departures
In thought along all lines of human
activity and interest. For instance. there
is the daylight saving scheme. which
has been discussed locally OF late to some
extent, unquestionably to the point of its
rejection. Perhaps 1t was the proposal
of this fantastic plan for tampering with
time that suggested another project-to
readjust the entire annual calendar,
which has just been put forth with seri-
Gus intent and evidently some hope of
interesting the public.
This latest proposition Is not quite as
radical IN one respect the amendments
ordered by the French revelutionists
more than a century ago. when they de-
creed that the abandonment of the old
order of things should include even the
names of the months. But ii is from q
chronological point of view even more
radical than the revolutionary upheaval
The whole purpose OF this plan, which is
called the new civil calendar" and Is
to go into effect on the LIST OF January,
1911, Is to make all the months of even

Substitute for Profanity.

The habit Of profanity is durable. II
any one who Is afflicted with this IN
pleasant form of speech will but take a
little thought unto himself he may get
rid of the undesirable trait and perhaps
greatly add to his interest as a member
of the community. The swearing man
who bumps his elbow and expresses his
ehagrin aud pain in terms of lurid speech
unfit for publication will probably find
all the satisfaction that he now thinks
he derives from such explosive express
sions IL he will adopt some other formula
instead of the crude explosives and oaths.
Suppose, for example, in such case in
stead OF swearing, as the word Is used,
he should recite some rhyme of childhood
"Humpty- Dumpty sat on a WALL to-
gether with the rest of that veracious
anecdote, would be just as ineligible and
significant as string Of objurgations and
far more pleasant to the average ear
Little Bo Peep" might do when the Of
flee boy makes mistake, and the boy
would probably be more impressed than
by string of excited EXPLANATIONS. In
deed. the swearing man could with even
better effect than by his present indul-
gence in forcible phrases adopt such ar
of talk. Certainly he would gain his point
as surely by telling some obdurate sub
ordinate the tale of old King Cole al
by consigning him TO warmer regions
with variations on the theme. The ad
vantage of this method of vigorous speech
is that 1t has infinite ppss. bilities- TIL.
vocabulary of profanity is alter all ex
tremely limited. Only rarely Is swearing
effective by reason of its scope. The com
mon or garden variety of oath has a very
small range. Its tirescme iteration be-
comes a nuisance apart from its intrinsic
offensiveness. Let any man adept the
suggested system and he will find his vo
cabulary widened to the uttermest limit:
OF literature. He will be an object of in
teFest to all within hearing instead of. a.
now, either of disgust or pity.

And the Greatest Of These.

The New Jersey man who secured a d.
vorce from his wife upon discovering that
she had concealed from him the fact of
serving three years In the penitentiary
for forgery prior to meeting him was I'M
questioHably lacking in real affection for
her. Had he loved her sincerely no such
discovery would have caused him to put
her aside. He would have judged her on
the basis of the woman he knew, the wife
she was, and not the woman she had
been. 1t is conceivable that a woman
might commit forgery and leave prison
repentant. Indeed. to think otherwise of
those who emerge from our penal institu-
lions is to condemn our entire system of
punishment as ineffective and worthless
One of the great evils attaching to our
present methods Of executing the laws
and OF administering penalties is the fact
that a stigma is fastened upon ell who
leave the prison doors. The ex-convict
has but little chance II he discloses his
identity. Had this woman. for instance.
made known her unfortunate experience
she would doubtless have been discarded
as promptly before marriage as her in
considerate husband put her aside after
ward. She would have had no show
Whatever 0lLfleT TO make an honest living
or to win husband.
True charity assumes that those who
err and have had their wrengdoing
brought to book In some fashion will
never lapse again from the legal or moral
standards. Yet few in the business or the
social world will grant as much to one
who confesses to have spent q period be-
hind the bars. An instinct which is
stronger than the impulse Of humanity
will cause the virtuous or the undetected
to shrink from these unfortunates. Pos
sibly some day we may work out sys-
tenn Of punishment which will preserve
the manhood and the womanfood of first
offenders, give them the benefit of the
doubt in the matter of repentance, insure
them a fair show for second try. guar
antee them social intercourse and bust
ness opportunities, and thereby rescue
them from lives of crime and shame. But
II will take more than statutory enact
mepts to accomplish this result. 1t will
require the evolution of a conscience on
the part of those who now refuse to
grant the possibility OF genuine repent
apce and who insist upon Judging men
and women not from what they are and
what they are trying to be. but what
they have been or might have been.
