Kveiy mm i that Is divisible by 4 Is
a leap-vear, except the closing ear of
a centuij, which Is a lcap-jear onlv
when it Is divisible by 400. The joar
1100, theiefore, vlll not bo a leap-ear.
bin the vcar 2000 will be. After 2000,
the closing j ear of the century will be
-i leip-year at inters nls of 400 years
2J0U, 2S0n, :!200, SCOO, etc., but tho clos
ing vc.u of the Intermediate centuries
will not bo a leap-year, In spite of the
fact that the jenr may be divisible
bv 4
To epla!n this arrangement, let us
tell vou how wo came to change from
the Julian to the Giegorlan calendnr.
Acc.iidlng to tho Julian calendar, tho
t.ir consisted of "03 da, with one
diiv udded even fourth enr This
guv-'1 an aveince jear 3C"'i dajs, or
3"" das and b hours, whereas the true
flol.ii oar conlsts of 303 davs, 5 hours,
IS minutes, nnd !i0 seconds.
In aodlng one dnv to ever fouith
eai, theiefore. an excess of about 11
minutes wns given to each day: and
thougli the ecess was comparatively
small. It had amounted, In lrS2, when
Giegory XII r. was Pope, to ten com
plete dajp. So great was the dlstuili
um? tauscd by this shifting of dajs
i'i unfixing the tlmej of the celolna
t !cii of Kaster, and of all other mov
able leasts, that Gtogoiy deteimlned
to rtconstiuct the calendar, so as to
make tl- civil jear accord more neai
1 with the solai .veai.
Ik theicfoie oi dallied that ten dajs
biioiild be deducted from the ear 1582,
which was done bj calling what would
have been the fith of October, the 15th
of tvtobot, nnd to prevent such an ex
cess oj tlvll time ovei solar time in
the futuie, it wns further oidalned
that the etu dav the leap-jear day
should not be added to the closing
veai of any centuiy except such as
wcie divisible by 400. By this airange
iiirnt th dlftoienco between the civil
j "in and the solar ear will not amount
to one dd In 5,000 jeais.

E THE INVENTORY
And in order to reduce stock to the lowest possible working point,
we've decided to Slaughter All Prices to such an extent as to make
BUYING NOW AN OBJECT, even when goods are not wanted for
immediate use. Imagine buying Alexander Smith & Son's fine
Moon
site Carpets
These are identical with goods that have been represented and
sold as Axminster Carpets in this city. Within three months it will
be impossible to get a yard of these under $1.25. These Clearance
Prices apply to the cntiie stock, the reductions being on a par with
the Carpet figure just quoted. HOLIDAY GOODS The balance at
your price. Some choice things still left.
