sian minister of finance, who is among

better to give all the months thirty days

At the London congress the Netherlands

NAL calendar IT is we'll supported, the
French, Belgian and German press almost
unanimously fayoring the calendar Al: Al
present vigorous propaganda in its
favor is being carried on in Germany by
Privy Councillor Baron Won Hesse-
Wartegg Of Lucerne, who acted as COM
worlds fairs. His wife is Minnie Hauk,
the opera singer. Hesse-Wartegg is a
distinguished geographer and explorer,
and is we'll known in Europe as the in
PRODUCER of zone time. BY this reform
he established west European, central
European and east European time in
three zones covering all Europe. but had
to overcome fierce opposition from the
old-fashioned meridian-timers. Hesse-
Wartegg is urging the adoption of the
normal calendar next year. The reason
is that if 1911 is let pass by, without the
adoption of the reform a favorable OPP
portunity will not recur until 1918.
The New Year day of 1911 falls on q
Sunday. If this day be detached from
January, in accordance with the normal
scheme, the new LIST of January will fall
on a Monday March 81 will fall on Sun
day, and thus the 1st of April, the be-
ginning of the second quarter. will fall
on Monday. Similarly, the first day of
the remaining two quarters will fall on
Monday, and the last day on a Sunday.
The Isl of February will always be
Wednesday,, the 1st of March Friday, and
equally so with the second and third
months of the other quarters. The great
est advantage is that 1872 will begin in
exactly the same way, and SO on ad in
fintum, so that in every future year the
dates of each month will fall on the
same days of the week. The first. sec
ond, third and fourth quarters of all
future years will be as follows:

of the date of Easter caused serious loss
to business, and must be done away with.
The present way Of determining the
Easter festival is neither recommended

The movement is strong in England.
1t is stronger still on the continent, where
the present movable Easter DISCREPANCIES
the life of some 3O0.OO0OOO persons. In
many parts of France. Germany and
Italy Easter is for practical purposes the
beginning and the end of the year. Every
year. therefore. differs in length from that
before. AT Easter school terms begin and
end so that in some years pupils get
five weeks more tuition than in others.
At Easter are signed agricultural labor

Easter is an important time for tourist
traffic, and for hotels, and IL is in the
interest of all engaged in these bust
nesseS that its date should no longer
vary as IT now does by as many as
thirty-four days.
*
Since the beginning of this century
three hundred odd resolutions have been
passed by chambers of commerce, learned
societies and other corporate organiZa-
tons in favor of fixing Easter. This is
nothing new. SiXty-eight years ago the
city of Frankfurt-on-Main tried to intro
duce its own fixed Easter for local pur-
poses, and later Leipzig. for the sake OF
it's famous fair, made a try and failed.
The modern proposals for fixing Easter
are at least a dozen. The one which will
be urged most strongly at the June con-
gress will be to fix Easter Sunday abso-
lutely on a particular date. This can only
be effected by establishing at the same
time symmetrical calendar. and that is
what is proposed. TO effect this the in
fluential Netherlands Chamber OF Com
MERGE has adopted the proposal of well
known authority. G. 5. dc Hlerk, and or

The men of the Himalayas are like our
Indians, only not SO tall. They remind
one of the Mcngois and other natives
along the borders OF Siberia. leading to
the belief that the American 3bCri2ines
dame from the Hi.llalayaS and went
northward into America across Bering
strait. Among the tribes near here are
the LepchaS and Bhotiyans. both consid-
erably shorter than our western Indian.
The Lepcha women wear their hair braid
ed in tails which hang down their backs,
and the Bhotiyans paint their faces with
brown varnisil and wear balls Of coral
ard turquoise as big as marbles on
strings round their heads.
The men Of both tribes lock fierce. They
carry curved knives in their belts, and
when drunk carve up one another. They
are said TO be DULLES and wife-beaters,
and the woman has to fight for hes
rights She often marries four brothers
and sometimes has them all to support.

From what 1 see here 1 Judge the state

the average American husband and rest
between rounds. l found a score at the
depot when I arrived and hired one to
carry my trunk to the hotel. The way
was steep. but she agreed to take it up
the hill for cents. and tOted it there
on her back. The women are the drays
of Darjeeling, and the road carts as we'll.
They carry the dirt for repairing the

Each basket holds two or three bushels.

women carry great weights, and am told
