1‘ you have never tried using the largest, pleasantest room in the house for the family bedroom, you don‘t know how much more you will enjoy it in that capacity, than as a parlor, used only occasionally. I live in one of those oldâ€"fashioned houses in which a parlor was added to an already larger number of rooms than is needed by the average family. This company room was the largest room in the house, and so pleasant, wiry and sunny with its south and west indows and sash door opening to, the cast upon the end of a south verâ€" andah. So delightfully situated it wasi a shame to use it so little.

In connection with miscellaneous anniversaries, also, there are many curiosities. _ Some people, for inâ€" stance, are unable to reconcile the date=of a birth with some other date This may be due to fallure to allow for the difference between our former calendar and the present calendar A Fixed Date for Easter. Let us take a single illustration. The anniversary of George III‘s birth is given as June 4th, whereas in many books he is said to have been born on May 24th, 1788. 8o, in fact, he was But when the calendar was altered in 1752 birthdays of all living persons were postâ€"dated by eleven days as far as the law was concerned. After 17652, therefore, George III‘s birthday was celebrated on June 4th. Some authorities, however, conâ€" sider that the coincidence meant is that between the Annunsciation and Easter Day, as in 1894. Easter in that year fell on March 25th, the Feast of the Annunciation. | Another anomaly is that in a leap year persons who are paid monthly or quarterly have to give a day‘s work for nothing. If the salary is $5,000 a year, tthis means a loss to the worker of $13.70. The State, in particular, gains largely through this peculiarity. I Pay is also affected by the calendar dn a different manner. We sometimes ‘hlve fiftyâ€"three Saturdays in a year, and consequently most workers reâ€" | ceive an extra week‘s pay in it. This ’makes a great difference to big corâ€" porations, as well as to the State. Oldâ€" !age pensioners, too, get an extra week‘s money. "When our Lord shall lie in our Lady‘s lap England will meet with a strange misâ€" hap." Some countries still use the Julian calendar, and consequently they make every fourth year a leap year. It fol lows that by their system each week day has its turn as leap year day once every twentyâ€"eight years. Why then, the long interval of forty years since February 29th previously fell on a Friday? Because, under the Gregorian correction to the calendar, three leap years are dropped in four hundred years at three successive cenâ€" tury years, and because in the last inâ€" terval a "double 0" year (1900) inter vened. Last year we had five Fridays in Februsryâ€"a thing which,. though it had not happened previously for forty years, will happen again after an interâ€" val of twentyâ€"eight years. Yet nor mally it is only twentyâ€"eight years before any one day of the week re curs as leap year day. Do We Want a New Calendar? We have entered upon another year with our old and unreformed calendar, Proposals for its simpliScation have often been made; but it remains comâ€" plicated and erratic.
