ORIGIN OF OUR CALENDAR

Now Constituted, Told
Once More.

The Julian year consists OF 365H
days and exceeded by II minutes 1888
seconds the solar year of 365 days
hours 48 minutes 46 seconds. In con.
sequence Of this, the equinox In the
course OF few centuries fell back con-
siderably. In the time of Julius Gaze
sar. 1t corresponded to March 25,
and by the sixteenth century II had
retrogarded to March II. It was at
this time that n physician G. Verona
named Ghiraldi proposed plan for
amending the calendar. He died be
fore he had opportunity to carry II
forward. but his brother presented It
to Pope Gregory Kill. who assembled
a number Of learned men to discuss 1t.
1t was passed upon favorably and
adopted. aud thus was given to the
world what has since been known as
the Gregorian calendar. In 1882 Greg
ory issued brief. apolishing the Julian
calendar In all Catholic countries, and
In =" ducing the reformed one.
The reform Of the Gergorian ur new
on The Julian or old. consisted In
dropping ten days after October 4,
