In time the months dropped their character and became of irregular most permanently satisfactory goods in But, apart from this, the straightening out of the calendar was admirably managed. The undoing of the tangle-was a serious matter and -g-ide the year B.

C. 40 forever The 1st of January fell, as we have seen, about three months too soon that is. In tho pleasant autumnal weather shortly after the vintage days, that were properly in the early part of October. The year was allowed to run on until toward the close of February, when the intercalary month was iu-serted at the usual place. This added twenty-three days to the year, but did not suffice.

The calendar was still two months out, and the of March was giving Rome the weather -of Christmas. So at the end of November (which came at what is now the end of September) two more months were Inserted, containing between sixty-seven days. By the Insertion of these special months, which have never since a'ppeared in the calendar, the month of December was brought to the season in which it now falls, the two intercalary months covering our October and November. These two months were in a sense duplicated. Thus in this year there had been added to the regular 355 days ninety more.

This made the unprecedented total of 445 days, or fifteen months. The year extended, according to our present reckoning, from the beginning of October to twelve months following the next Dec. 31. This started the year of Rome, 709 (B. C.

45) at the time at which our years now commence. This remarkable year was scoffingly called "the year of confusion," but Ma-crobius correctly says that it should rather be called "the last year of confusion." The strong measures that had to be taken were necessary if order was to be restored and the months once again placod in their old time honored seasons. But all Caesar's changes were not yet carried out The year had still 355 days, and this was ten and a quarter days too short. It was determined to avoid In future the insertion of an intercalary month. The old experience with this arrangement had been sufficiently unfortunate.

So the year was raised to its present length of 365 days and thus made a solar year by adding two days each to January, Sextllia and December and one day each to Will Restore Streujib, Energy Aid Tbe- AnMQea tkat Nstate lateadea AO to A Kerrs Tonic and Blood Builder. aa. wring 3 tne piriK clow i FURNITURE SALARIES I made at the least expense for the longest time and in a con-fidentiai manner.

A r- able ruarantee to cure length, varying from thirty -one days In March to twenty -eight in February. The year had S55 days, some ten days less than a true year. Later on the 1st of January became both the New Year and the inauguration day of the Roman consuls'. These chief magistrates of the Roman republic, urilike our presidents, were elected annually, so that Inauguration day then was more important than it is at Washington, since it was actually the beginning of a new official or civil year each 1st of January. The Intercalary month was, however, still Inserted between February and March, according to ancient custom.

The Insertion of Intercalary months and all matters pertaining to the calendar rested In. ancient Rome with the college of pontiffs, which formed the supreme priestly council, the proper observance of the festivals of the gods and other sacred days coming especially within the domain of religion. But the pontiffs, with their chief, the pontifex maximus, were too often dominated by political considerations. In early times they were chosen exclusively from the patrician families. Their privilege of Inserting or omitting the Intercalary month gave them great political power, which, politician-like, they used to the advantage of their own party and the injury of the plebe and copy of oar bankable bone NervitaTablslsLT.

Bat in the year B. C. 46 Rome's foremost soldier, Julius Caesar, was able to take the matter In hand. Among the many honors received by this conqueror was the office of pontifex maximum, and as head of the priestly college matters appertaining to the calendar fell within his province. His -soldier's system took up the muddle in the calendar, which he straightened out" with his accustomed vigor.

To imagine a modern parallel we should have to suppose some one like Napoleon on his elevation of the consulship or General Grant fresh from the civil war and his election to the presidency undertaking to correct a confusion in the calendar due to the manipulations of politicians. Caesar called in the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, to rectify the error and prevent it for the future. It was in the year of Rome 708 16 B.C., according to our reckoning that tho revision took place. It Is said, al fall of the empire. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII.

The Roman name for this time was. "Natalis solis InvictI" (the birthday of the uncon-quered sun), when that luminary's decline was changed into a fresh ascension. -It Is one of the greatest misfortunes of the calendar that this change was not carried out But the story goes that about ten days later than the solstice there was a new moon, which was the starting point of the ancient lunar months. It was still looked upon as a good augury for a month to begin on the new moon, and as it was desired that the year 709, the opening year of Caesar's new calendar, should be inaugurated under circumstances that would be auspicious and commend the change to public approval it was determined that the following Jan. 1 should be on the day of the new moon.

Why Grate Bars Give Ovt.

The principal cause which contributes to the rapid burning out of the grate bars In a boiler is the action of the furnace heat, which will in time destroy any set of grates, but the want of a proper flow of air through the grates will cause overheating, whether It occurs, through too littleiir space in tho grates themselves or by these spaces becoming obstructed through any cause, thus preventing the cooling effect of the air on Its passage to the fire. Another reason Is found in the impurities of fhe coal and especially in the chemical combinations of sulphur and Iron, which Impurities are found in more or less quantity in all coals. The Practical Engineer says any coal which forms an easily fused clinker will injuriously affect the grates. tween tne iorin ana rronaa. wnn Sleeping Cars and Dining: Cars With this service you will find the Seaboard, in addition to beins the shortest line, tho quickest and most convenient and attractive route to Florida and the other Southern Winter Resorts.
