mated with Romulus, who established
year of ten months, having alternately
thirty-one and thirty days. making 3o4
days in all. Numa Pompilius added

When Pope Gregory undertook to re-
form the Julian calendar that had by
that time become incorrect by about
ten days the revolution of the earth
around the sun was not yet fully I'M
Gerstood. so instead of making
change that would be thoroughly sci
entitic the present form of year was
adopted, the Julian calendar being
modified by calling Oct 5, 1882, Oct.
10 and by making all terminal years of
centuries, 100, 1900. 1900, etc. COM
mon years of 1865 days, except when
the year was a multiple of 400, as
1900, 1000. etc, which should be leap
years.
In those days they We're so accus-
toned to movable feasts that it never
occurred to the reformers of the calen-
dar that day might come when their
movability should be inconvenient.
They knew so little about the rela-
lions between the sun and the earth
that they did not want to renounce the
lunar year entirely and so upset the
order of feast days that had from time
immemorial been based upon the move
ments of the moon.
Though the Gregorian calendar was
issued in 1882. prejudice against any
thing that came from Rome was so
strong in England that it was not
adopted there until by an act of par
lament passed in 1851, Sept. 3, 1852,
was reckoned as Sept. II. and New
Years day was changed from March
25 to Jan. 1, beginning with 1853
To fix one definite date for Easter
would require decree from the pope
The whole Roman Catholic world
would at once adopt it. and there is
little doubt that the Protestant church
es would follow. AS it is Il purely re-
ligious feast, this is all that would be
necessary.
In Russia and Greece the Julian cal
endar is still in use, so their dates are
now twelve days different from ours.

Why Lent Begins
Three Weeks Later

p ENT begin, this year'three weeks

- ENT begin, this year three weeks
later than last year. being of
4 course based upon the date Of
Easter, which is April II this
wear as against March % in 1913.
Very few people can tell why Lent
varies 40 from year to year and why
Easter may come as early as March ~
or as late as April 20.
It is something OF an anomaly from
the religious point of view that the an
niyersary of Christ's death may fall on
any one of thirty-five dates wmle the
anniversary of his birth is always on
the same. 1t is no less of an anomaly
from the astronomical standpoint, for
there seems no reason why we, having
adopted the solar year as the basis OF
our calondar, should cling to the lunar
year merely for the establishment OF
one date
1t is mystery why, when the date
of Christ's birth was fixed as Dec. %,
some dates in April were not at the
same time settled upon as those OF
his death and resurrection. That would
have been logical and would have ban
ished from the calendar lunar cycle
that has long been abandoned by all
civilized peoples.
It should not be difficult to Fix the
rational date for Easter. Ii Christ was
crucitied on the fourteenth day OF the
March moon astronomers ought to be
able to calculate on what date this fell.
1t is to the council of Nice that we
owe the perpetuation of our anachro-
nistic method of reckoning Easter.
This council decreed that it should be
the first Sunday after the first full
moon that occurs after the vernal equ1-
nox March 81. Pope Gregory XIII. I'M
dertook at that time to reform the
Julian calendar, which had been i'll use

having $685. This Julian calendar was
a reform of still more ancient sys-

LAW COURT UPHOLDS SHERlFF'S
REMOVAL.

BANG R, Me-, Feb. 26. A rescript
sustaining the Maine Legislature in the
adoption of an address to Gov. Haines
calling for the removal of Sheriff Lewis
W, Mouton of Cumberland county for
ponenforcement of the Maine Prohibi
tory Liquor law, was received today
from the Maine Supreme Court. 1t was
drawn bv Associate Justice A M. Spear,
following arguments before the full
bench of the Law Court.
The question of the Constitutional
right of the Legislative branch Of the
State Government to remove an officer
selected by the people went to the Law
Court last July, when arguments were
made in quo warranto proceedings insti-
tuted 10y Mr.. Moulton against Everett g..
SculIy, who was appointed by Gov.
Haines to succeed him.
Mr.. Mouton, also Sheritfs John w.
Ballou of Sagadahoc county, and Wlbert
W. Emerson OF Penobscot county, were
removed from office by the governor
last April at the CONCLUSION of impeach-
ment proceedings before the Legislature.
The suit was brought to determine the
right of Sheriff Scully to hold the office
by appointment from the governor. Mr.
Moulton claimed the right TO retain the
office through virtue of his election by
the people of the county.
No dissenting opinion to the decision
has been filed. The legal status Of all
the sheritfs appointed by Gov. Haines
subsequent to the impeachment proceed
ings is fixed by it. These include King
F. Graham of Cumberland county APP
pointed on the death OF Sheriff Scully,
WILDER C. Oliver of Sagadahuc county
and J. Fred O'Connell of Penobscot
county.
Pending the outcome of the proceed
ings the salaries of Sheriffs Scully and
Graham were withheld by the Cumber-
land county treasurer at the instance OF
