A FRENCH CALENDAR.
The Ono That Was Adopted During
the Revolution.

the Revolution.
In the French revolution the ma
tional convention adopted new cal
endar containing twelve months OF
thirty days each. The five days in the
year thus left were disposed of by
making them festivals" The months
were named not January, February,
etc., but Vendemaire, Brumaire, Fri
maire, Nivose, Pluviose, Ventose, Ger
minal, Floreal, Prairial, Messidor,
Thermidor and Fructidor.
Each of these names had meaning.
Instead Of naming month meaning
lessly after heather god, as we name
January after Janus and March after
Mars, the names represented the spe-
cial characteristics of the month.
Fructidor for instance which includes
part Of what we call September, means
''the fruity month"; Germinal, the first
of the spring months, running from the
last of March to the middle of April,
means "the month of buds" and Flo
real, which follows 1t, the "howery' or
"foweraw month.
Thermidor, which means the "hot
month";" is the month which under the
republican calendar included part of
July and part of August The political
significance of the word arises from
the fact that the revolution which
everthrew Robespierre and ended the
reign of terror occurred on the 9th
of the month of Thermidor, or, as we
should say, July 27, 1904. 1t was call
ed ''the revolution of Thermidor," as
we speak of "the September massa-
cres," and the reyolutionists were nick
named 'sThermidorians." The inventor
of the calendar was Romme.-New
York Times.

the late Peter Clement, fully two thou
sand people formed the funeral pro-
cession which slowly dended its way
from the family home in Pacific ave
nue. to the McDonoghville cemetery,
where interment was made, on Mon
day afternoon. Hundreds of others
lined the sidewalks along the route
and everywhere there was evidence Of
the general sorrow felt in the district
over the loss of this prominent man
and valuable citizen.
Masons, Pythians, WOodmen OF the
World and the striking Southern Pa
cific employees, in the main, made up
the throng that assembled for the sad
occasion, but besides there there were
many others not affiliated with any of
these organizations, together with hun
dreds of women. Ii was all in all one
of the most impressive events ever
witnesses in Algiers. People in all
walks of life were there, their hearts
beating in sympathy with the devoted
widow and children left TO mourn their
! loss, a loss that is almost as keenly
felt without the family circle as with
in, for the friendship of Judge Clement
was of a character that made one fee
