ICnpjllkfht. lt3, by American lre A mod a

ilenjiimtn Franklin wlM'tn (be 4th of
March for inaiisiiMitfondrty beuane tu the
next two oenturle It would
fall on Sunday less often
than any other day In the
year, and this Ktatetnenthas
crept into a few worlvii uieaut
to be historical. It Is, how
ever, but one of the manv
cases, like those of Klohe

fact hn nmduallr give n ri to n legend to
account for Ihe fjid It is aplpnnp; story,
hut there Is uo proof of H whatever, and
there Is almost concluie proof to the" con
trary It Is certain that franklin bothered him
self very tittle niton t the dittliution lie
tween sacred and mx-ulir days, mid disre
garded It ftlUwtlier lu his
daily life; that thu conven
tion of 177 did not fix the
day, ami In fact could have
no means of foreseehiK when
It would be iolbU' to name
a day, and that when it be
came possible by the ad
hesion of the ninth state to
the constitution the Con- J0,,N ADAMS,
federation conre-ii then In wslon fixeii
the day by a oil of accident And yet It
la a fact, and aery curious fact indeed,
that the dty doea very rarely fall ou Sun
day, though at firt,t view It would seem
that tliit d-iy or any other day would doao
oae time In seven.
Tho first day set was Wednesday, and
the year 1W0 and 1100 art1, contrary to the

Hat little lesELcurious was the result of
the meetlns of the first congress in tts-j.
As alx congresses convened In tho last cen
tury and the feventh lu ISO I it results that
the calculation an to the number of any
congress turns on the alleged ''unlucky
nuinherH-i-J8. Thus, todetermlne the num
ber of any congress, add thirteen to the
year It first convened aud divide by two
the quotient Is the nuuilwrof tho congress.
Conversely, double the number of any con
gress and s (abstract thirteen, and the re
mainder will be the year It convened.
Ninety-one and thirteen are 104, the half of
which is flfty-two the number of the pres
ent congress. For the next "century add
113, and bo on.
Though we have had twenty-three presi
dents, but nineteen were formally Inaugu
rated, and but hi x teen of thene on the 4th
of March, If the iin,t time
only be counteil, for W ash
ington took the oath the fj)7e.

inaugurated on Mouday,
of Monroe's htcond Inaugu-

ond Adams, Pierce and Garfield were In
augurated on Friday Five Inaugurations
have been on Monday and five on Wednes
day, and the coming one will make five on
Saturday, no other day in the week having
had more than three.
It Is also a curious fact that, though the

took the oatn as vice presi

had Just vacated the chair,
and then led the way to the
chamber of the house.where
the Inauguration took place.
Almoat cverr witness who
has given any account of It w.ii.UARniaoT
says that all eyes were directed to Wash

side, a rather tall and commanding figure,
ths new provident really seemed overshad

Washington very highly, denied quite em
phatically that lis favored a stronger gor

thirty-sixth Iwllot and after a de-perate
struggle a deep groan ran through the Fed

early iu the motnlng of Martb 4, 1801, This
had example was followed by his son In
1829 and by Johnson in 18011.

A reporter found Danghorty yesterday
in one of the pleasant wards of St. Jlary's
Infirmary. Bending over hlin, with her
sweet face full of sympathy, was one of
the sisters of the order. "He's doing
very nicely," sho softly said, "but must

was. Uood gracious, but that old engine

"How did it happen?"
'All tired sndden. I was walking

you please when down rolls a tram on

isn't as hard as digging. All you've got
to do is to bo sure and go over your sec

and see that the rails are lu proper shape.
If you find a loose bolt you take your

a clip with your hammer. That's all
there is to tho business. If you should
happeu to find something out of whack

years. Some of 'em know every square

I'll bet, and call tell you with their eyes
shut where they are if set down on any
one of the roads between this town and
Chicago. A fellow gets to know the
weight of the ties ou every mile he walks
over, and from day to day learns to pick
out whtch bolts are going to be loose and
which spikes will poke their fiat heads
above the flanges of the rails. It's like
anything else; if you stay with it you'll

It is all very well to preach against In
discriminate charily, and to those who
are inclined to benevolence the lesson is
most valuable. There is too much care
lees giving, for charity no doubt often
breeds mendicancy, and If there is to be
giving it ought to be thoughtful, to the
end that It may do good and not evil.
Besides the charitably disposed, how
aver, are those who are careless of th,
misfortunes of their neighbors and
those whose selfishness I, rarely tempt
ed to make a sacrifice for the happiness
tf their kind.
Y oeu such as the., do a charity they
are the Important beneficiaries, and it Is
to them that the divine prntept eeneeni.
ing the blessedness of giving applies. It
ins tiers little whether thee, give with
disoriminatioii or indiwrimiiiatloa; their
gifts are so few that they cannot work
much harm. If the encouragement of
b'gging depended on tbe occasionally
and spasmodically generous, the trade
would assuredly die out. It Is well not
to preach the cold truth to them, for
they need little enough excuse for but
toning np their pocket. Let tbetu open
