SIMPLE IDEA FORsCALENDAR
Vermont Man Tells of Arrangement
by Which 1t Is Easy to Find
Date Wanted.

The following simple method of
finding the day Of the week for any
date in month, when the first day
Of January is known, has been hand
ed down among US for two centuries.
Supposing that the new year be-
gins on Wednesday, we place that day
opposite the latter a, with the follow
ing days opposite the next six letters,
and with Tuesday opposite G.. The
first days Of the IL months are op-
posite the initials OF this sentence :
AT Dover dwell George Brown. Esq,
good Carlos Finch and David Friar."
For the ordinary year the initial
days Of the months, as above, are
Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday,
Monday. Wednesday, Saturday and
Monday.
AS the first, eighth. fifteenth, twen-
ty-second and the twenty-ninth day In
each month are on the same day Of
the week, it follows that the LIST Of
December and the Goth fall on and
the 31st on \. The first and last day
of each year, excepting leap year, fall
on the same day of the week. For
leap year use the seven letters, be-
ginning A with the week day that
stood originally for B on New Years
day.-Edward II. Williams Jr, Wes-
terdale, Vt. in New York Herald.

SAILORS MADE FIRST GLASS

One of the most useful materials In
the world Is glass It is not only

genital. The development of chemistry
would have been far more labortus

utensils manufactured from glass. So
numerous and varied are its uses that
one can hardly conceive OF present
day civilization without this product.
Yet the discovery Of this valuable ma
terial was what might be termed an
accident. Floyd W. Parsons writes In
the Saturday Evening Post.
AS the story runs, o merchant ship
laden with naSron a brittle white car
Donate OF sodium, was driven ashore at
the mou I'll of the River Belus in Phe-
nfeia. The crew prepared their food
on the beach, supporting their kettles
,on piles made up Of Jumps Of the ma

to discover transparent masses Of
stone among the cinders OF their fires
The heat had melted the soda and the
siliceous sand together, with the result

formed. If the early records are cor.

LoNELIEST SPOT IN ENcLANn
Residents Of Essex Village Surely Are
Cut Of From the Society OF
Their Fellows.

The most inaccessible spot In Eng
che Manchester Guardian is Foulness,
In Essex. AS the crow flies Foulness
Is barely forty miles from London
a little island Sundered from the ES-
sex marshes by the wide estuary OF
the Crouch. 1t costs about pound
$50 to get from Burnham-on-Crouch
the nearest railway staion-to Foul
ness and back, for there is no public
service and bargain for the trip has
to be struck with a local boatman.
When the boat reaches the pebble
shore you scramble as best ysu can
over the sea wall, and so to the sur
face of the island.
roulness is about IA miles round,
and possesses a church, an inn and
three shops, but no policeman and no
doctor. The only industry besides
farming appears to be shooting wild
duck and widgeon. which abound here
in company with many other birds Of
types rarely seen so far north. AT low
tide those of the islanders whe pos
sess no boat and no money to hire one
can walk to the mainland by the
Broonway, a huge stretch of sand, with
little birch sticks marking the track.
This takes them across the EoulReSS
and Maylin sands to Wakering, and
involves a tramp Of from 10 to 20
miles, according to the point at which
the island Is left. Nothing can be seen
of the outside world from Foulness
for on all sides 1t IS shut in by the
sea wall, and there is no vestige of q
hill from which to obtain view.

Worth Ones Salt

Senator West authorized the state
ment that his forces are we'll organized,

upon the most conservative and trust
worthy information and upon personal
investigation, he is safe in saying that

That Word "Hospital."

One Of the features of an ancient
Roman home were the "hospitalta,"
or apartments set aside for strangers
or 'hospes." Hence, in its original
meaning the word hospital" was ap-
piled to places where strangers were
received and kindly entertained. The
commonly restricted use of the term
to designate places where sick strang-
ers were received was an after de-
velopment.
The word came to us directly from
the French, who got it from the Ro-
mans. 1t is derived, Of course, from
the same root as "hospitable" The
name ''Hospitaler" was borne with
pride by several semi-religious and
semi-military orders, like the Knights
Of St John or the Knights of Malta,
who made it a business to relieve the
poor, the strangers and the sick.
1t is worth noting that the first
hospital" for diseased men and ami
mails was established by the Buddhists
in Hindustan.

RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
City Of Santo Domingo Crowded With
Landmark Connected With the
Famous conquistadores.

Santo Domingo is rich In historic
interest. It is the Oldest Of all the
permanent settlements Of American
soil. Here Columbus founded various
colonies, and Santo Domingo city be-
came his favorite of all the New
world. It was here that he spent
some Of the happiest time of his life,
and here that he was reduced to pris-
on by his political enemies, and from
here he was sent in chains and dis
grace to Spain. The old tower where
he was imprisoned still remains, and
his bones lie In the great cathedral of
Santo Domingo city.
In this oldest city of the New
world one still sees the remains of
the first church built in America. Its
foundations were laid in 1902. Here
Is the house where Cortez kept the
heard Of Mexico. From here Ponce
de Leon set out in his search for the
Fountain OF Youth. Here lived Piz-
FARO before he went to Panama, and
sailed down the west coast to con-
quer the Inca empire. Everywhere
one turns he encounters old land
marks where the famous conQuis-
tadores had their first experiences in
the New world.
Padre lie las Casas entered the
priesthood here, and in his indigna-
ton because of the abuse of the In
dams by the Spaniards began to i'm
port slaves from Africa to make light
er the work of the Indian laborers.
Here was founded the first university
Of the New world when in 1888 a
royal charter was granted for the es-
tablishment Of the University of St.
Thomas.
