The Alexandria" astronomer Sodi- ‘ genes surgeated the Julian calvndatr, which: with slight modifieMioor, is the our used today. The bosr.inning of the ymr was moved hock from March to Jam. I. Premium: to that time Septem- ber was the seventh month (from oop- ten. seven). October the eighth momlh . (octo. oighthl, etc. In honor of himself Caesar changed the name of the fifth month from Quintilius to July. Augustus Caesar, sucessor to Julius. not to be outdone. changed the name ot the sixth month from Sextillis to Aug- ust. and stole a day from February to make August as great o month on July. At the time of Pope Gregory the Jul- ian calendar had thrown the reckoning out ten days, lwmuse the year is not quite 365 1-4 days, as had been supposed. The calendar was ten days slow, so Gre- gory. following the advice of the astron~ omer Clavius, ordered that ten days should be dropped so that the day tot. lowing Oct. 4, 1582. should be the fif- teenth instead of the fifth, and that leap years should be dropped in century yen_rs not divisible by 400. DAllY fADING AWAY. J The change was not adopted in all Catholic countries " once. but the Greek Church and most Protestant nations re- fused to change. England, however, ad- opted the change in 1751, providing that tho year 1752 should begin on Jan. 1 in- stead of March M. and that the day following Sept. 2. 1752, should be the fourteenth instead of the third, thus dropping eleven days. Riots followed in many places, since the people thought they had liven robbed of eleven duys, although the act of Parliament was fframed so that no injustice resulted in i thtpaynypt of rent, interest. etc. Slim; 1800 and 1900 were Julian leap years but not Gregorian. countries using thc old Julian calendar are now thirteen days behind the Gregorian calendar. Thus in Russia Oct. 30 is called the 17th. If a writer in Russia wishes to be acu- rate he writes tho date Oct. 17-30, thus showing the date by both calendars.

Not King Edward, But the Leader of the Politicol lajority. The real ruler of the Britiuh empire in not the titular sovereign nor the ber editary nobility; it is the leader of the political majority, who derives his pow- er solely from the direct vote of the pen- ple. The prime minister ot England is subordinate neither to the King nor the House of Peers. Every man who shares with him in the work of the government is his subordinate. Following a gene-rel election the cov- ereign sends for a member of the no- jority party and instructs him to form I. government. This is one of those fictions of the oomstitutionttl authority of the sovereign to which the English people cling as to the heritage of tradi- tion. The summons is delivered, but it is merely a form. The party leader is such not try the grace of the sovereign but by the choice of the mljority; not by election but because he Ins the quali- ties of leadership. The leader. having reeeived the gov- ereign’n instructions to form a ttoWrrw ment, becomes by that mandate the nu- toerat of the empire. His power is ab- solute. Like the president. he may 1p- point whomsoever he please: a mem- ber of IO cabinet. but unlike the pre- sident. he is not influenced by pamph- ical oonsiderniomr, nor does he have to submit his nominations to the sonato. in both countries the Members of the! cabinet hold office at the will of tho ap- _ pointing power. but the tenure of of-) fier i.- dven more preeariotts in England than it in in the, United Staten.
