THE CALENDAR.
r jot Saturday was the last day of the
year we numbered, 1904, and with the
next day, Sunday of this week, we be
gan the year 1905, A. D., meaning since
the birth of Jesus Christ
The etril calendar of all European
nations was taken from that of the Ro
man* who in turn borrowed part of it
from the Greeks, and like them began
by dividing the year into ten months,
and beginning their year in March; but
tiis led to confusion, and during the
raign of Numa, 425 B. C., two months,
January and February were added to
thfir calendar and the year made to be
gin about where it does now.
The however, and the lengths
of the years were left to be regulated
by the phases of the Moon, which caus
ed the practice of adding some days to
each year by order of the priests or pon
tiffa, and this led to more confusion,
which was ended by Caesar when he
came into power by abolishing the lunar
year, with intercalary days, and estab
lishing one regulated entirely by the
Sun. He fixed the length of the year at
865 days, with every fourth year 366.
and what is called the first J ulian year
bagan with Jan. Ist. 46 B. C. or the
7JBth from the foundation of Rome.
Of course Caesar had the help of the
astronomers and the other wise nflen of
his day, and it is wonderful that they
got it as close as they did, believing as
they did that the Earth was a level or
plain, and only knowing that the pro
cession of the Sun, Moon and planets
rose in the East and set in the West;
but they were close observers of the
motions of these, and came very near to
beginning their year at the time of the
Bon's lowest altitude.
Fnrther north in Germany, Sweden
and other countries the natives had
their Festal season on or about the 25tb
of December, when the Bun stopped
Quiring and began rising, and when
these peoples became converted to
Christianity in the sth and 6th Centu
ries A. D. they adopted that date for
the celebration of Christ's natal day, as
the exact date of that event was not and
la not known.
The Jnlian Calendar was not pertect
or true to the Sun, and it was changed
at the Council of Nice in 325 A. D. and
•gain in 1582 when Pope Gregory drop
ped ten days from the Calendar as it
then stood, and adopted the rules which
stand today.
According to our astronomers the
Earth passes completely around the
Bun in 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes
and 46 seconds. That is tbe solar year;
the civil year is what the adopted Cal
endar makes it.
Dividing the year into twelve months
originated in the fact that the Moon
completed its four phases twelve times
a year; bnt the Moon completes a revo
lution around tbe Earth in about 29}
days, and twelve lunations means 354
days, leaving Hi odd days.
The names we use for the months are
almost identical with those used by tbe
Roma 11s.
A week of seven days is an arbitrary
period, probably of Biblical origin,
though it might have been suggested
by tbe phases of the Moon. It was not
In the Greek calendar and came late
Into the Roman, bnt had been used in
eiatern countries from time immemori
al The English names of the days
oome from the Saxons, who borrowed
the week from some eastern nation or
people -and substituted the names of
■ome of their own divinities, and had
Ban's day, Moon's day, Tew's day,
Woden's day, Thor's day, Frigas day
and Baterne's day.
A solar day is the interval of time be
tween two consecutive returns of the
centre of the Sun over tbe same merid
ian, bnt on account of the inclination of
the Earth to the plane of its orbit, and
its unequal progressive motion around
the Sun, these times are not always
true to the moment, and our observato
ries and therefrom our clocks are regu
lated to a time called "mean time," and
which is the result of computation.
In civil life we divide the day into
two periods of twelve hours each, be
ginning at midnight; but tbe astrono
mers find it more convenient to begin
the day at noon, and number the hours
from 1 to 24; and when they have some
thing important on hands they fix their
time from the transit of the fixed star
agreed upon over a wire; and this they
call, Siderial time.
Time is a prime factor in the naviga
tion of the seas, as well as in civil life.
After the human race bad discovered
that the World was round, revolved on
Its axis and around the Sun, and was
Inclined to the plane of its orbit, etc.
the navigators found that they had no
trouble by an altitude of the Sun at
noon, and their table of declinati >ns, in
finding their latitude, that is their dis
tonce north or south of the equator; but
they could not discover a method of
finding the correct longitude, and for
over a century the governments of Eu
rope offered- rewards for a solution of
the problem. The English govern
ment's reward of SIOO,OOO for a method
that would come within 30 miles of it
Stood for fifty years, before a man nam
ed John Harrison, who made an almost
perfect watch, set it to the time of the
aero meridian of their charts, (tbe
Greenwich observatory) and took it to
•eft with him on trial tripe, lifted it.
.It is easy (if you have the proper in
struments and books) to find the correct
local time at sea, and the difference be
tween that time and the time at tbe zero
meridian of yonr chart rednced to de
grees, is your longitude. Nowadays
every large vessel carries several per
fect watches or chronometers, each
With its record of gain or loss, and tbe
longitude at sea is determined within
the fraction of a mile, excepting during
heavy or cloudy weather; but of conrse
this has nothing to do with the calen
dar, which is a matter of record.
Court House Changes.
But few changes took place in the
Cjurt House,last Monday. Clerk Christ
ley took possession of his office, and
retained Geo. M. Graham as bis assist
ant. His sister, Miss Maude, will also
be in the office with him.
Mr. Graham, by general consent, was
an excellent CleTk. and made many
friends during bis term.
District Attorney Walker is tempora
rily located in the bank building. 3d
floor, but the County Commissioners
are thinking of fitting np the corner
room of the Jail building for his office.
Tbe room is at present unused and
would make a very convenient office.
Mr. Walker has not yet appointed a
County Detective to take the place of
Mr. Barnes, who may serve through the
first term of Court The office pays
a ysar salary, and feu, which add
about a thousand more for a vigilant
official, and there are a dozen appli
cants for it.
Mr. Henninger, the retiring District
Attorney, retains his office in the Mar
' shall building. He was one of the be?t
District Attorneys this county has ever
had.
The death of County Commissioner
McClung makes a vacancy which will
be ailed by the Court. Several appli
cants are being urged by their friends,
but there is no intimation as yet, as to
who will be appointed.
County Auditors Huselton, Hazlett
and Deitrick broke the new year by
starting in Monday on the county ac
counts, and they are now putting in
full days of fast and furious work upon
them. _
Meeting of tlie legislature.
Both branches of the Legislature met
in their respective halls in the Capitol
at Harrisburg, Tuesday, and organized
without special incident.
Senator Sproul, of Deleware county,
was elected president, pro. tern, of the
Senate, and Representative Walton, of
Philadelphia, was elected Speaker of
the House.
U. S Senator Knox was nominated
by the Republicans of both houses to
succeed himself; a joint resolution fix
ing the date of sine die adjournment
for April 13, was adopted; the Gover
nor's Message was read, and then both
houses adjourned until Monday of next
week, the 16th, in order to give the
speakers time to compose the commit
tees.
In the Senate Frank Judd, of Beaver
county, was elected cbief clerk, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Smiley, of Franklin, and this disap
pointed the aspirations of Mr. P. W.
Lowry, of Butler. In the House the
old chief and journal clerks, Garvin and
Moore were continued, and Mr. Welsh,
of Union, appointed assistant.
The Governor's message is something
of a curiosity. He is saf9 and sane on
most subjects, but has again gone daft
on the "press muzzier'' question, and
has a substitute for the Salus-Grady
act, in which he proposes for the hang
ing, drawing and quartering that he re
ferred to with such historical accuracy
some twenty months ago, that: Any
six citizens with a grudge at a newspa
per can petition the Attorney General
for a procedure for its suppression. If
the Attorney General is in sufficient
sympathy with the purpose to discover
a prima-facie case he is to file a bill in
erjuity in the Court of Common Pleas of
the county where the newspaper is pub
lished, and upon the amount of hearing
required for the abatement of a nuisance
the Court, without jury trial or verdict,
can order the publication suppressed.
The state is to encourage such proceed
ings by paying "'the costs and expenses
of all such proceedings prosecuted by
him."
Fall of Port Arthur.
During last week the Japs blew up
and captured several more of the Rus
sian forts around Port Arthur. To
wards the latter part of the week the
resistance to tbe Jap assaults became
very feeble, and it became known that
but eight thousand of the original gar
rison of thirty-five thousand were on
duty, 11,000 haying been killed or hav
ing died of disease, and 15,000 being
wounded or sick, tbe remainder half
starved and short of ammunition. Some
of the positions captured by the Japs
commanded the town, and they swept
it with shrapnel and shell, making it
uninhabitable, even the sick and wound
ed crept out of the hospitals and sought
shelter in caves. Some Russian officers
who escaped in a torpedo boat, during
a snow-storm to Chefoo, said that the
place was a "hell on earth.
On Sunday night Gen. Stoessel listen
ed to the pleadings of those about him
and agreed to surrender. He sent word
of his intention to Gen. Nogi, that
night, and blew up all the vessels that
yet remained afloat in the harbor.
On Monday the commissioners ap
pointed by eadh General met and con
cluded terms, but what they were was
not made public at the time. It was
known, however, that Gen. Nogi had
instructions from his government to 1 e
generous. And thus ended the gre&test
siege oi modern times, and also one of
the bloodiest, as it is estimated that the
Japs lost four men to one of the Rus
sians, or about eighty thousand in all,
during the seven months' fighting.
By the terms of capitulation the men
of Stoessel's army are retained as priro
neri of war, while the officers are par
oled and allowed to return to Russia,
bat they were required to tarn over
complete plans of the forts, harbors and
mines.
Of the 35,000 men of the original
army, 11,000 were killed, 16,000 are sick
or wounded, and but 8,000 remained in
fighting condition. Gen. 3toessel at
tributes bis surrender to lack of ammu
nition and scurvy among his men.
All Japan has been celebrating the
victory this w«ek; while in Russia the
sorrow has been mixed with admiration
for the desperate defense. The garri
son marched out of their forts yester
day.
Capturing Port Arthur has cost the
Japanese about 80,000 lives and about
one hundred millions of dollars. Part
of the mining under the forts was done
through solid rock.
What will follow the fall of Port Ar
thur is a matter of conjecture. The
Japs will immediately repair the forti
fications, mount guns, thoroughly
equip and garrison the forts, remove
the mines in the harbor, etc., and their
possessionof it should l>e the beginning of
tbe end of the war* but the Rnssian
ministers at London and Washington
say the war will be continued to the
bitter end—wherever that is. i»othing
has been heard from the Baltic fleet, of
late, which is about tbe only hope left
to the Russians, at present.
Gen. Kuropatkic's army is being
strengthened, but he hag been com
plaining bitterly, of late, regarding the
management of the Russian commis
sary department, and says he is losing
men by exposure and lack cf proper
clothing and supplies, and in Russia the
general dissatisfaction with the govern
ment is continually showing itself. At
St. Petersburg a few days ago, the
(Jrar.d Duke in charge of the Navy was
booted out of a theatre, for recognising
an actress, arrayed in diamonds, one of
the spectators jelling "those jewels
were bought with monwy appropriated
for the Navy."
The people there stopped giving tothu
Red Cross, on account of the misappro
priation of the funds and material, and
the Siberian railroad is said to lie clog
ged.
In Japan Imuut.f-e preparations fir
the strengthening of Oyama's army
are being made;that part of (Jew. Sfotfi'*
army not needed at Port Arthur will
also proiiably .go there, and Admiral
Togo'* fleet is being overhauled, pre
paratory to got*? to meet the Baltic
squadron.
An incident revealing Japanese be
lief in tbe spirit life happened at Tokio,
a few days ago Admiral Togo attend
ed the funeral of some of his former of
ficers and men, and being asked to
speak, spoke to their spirits, saying.
"As 1 stand before your spirits I can
hardly express my feelings. Your per
sonalties are fresh in my memory.
Yonr corporal existence has ceased, but
your passing from this world has been
one of the gallant discharges of your
duty, by virtue of which an enemy s
fleet in this world has been completely
disabled and our combined fleet holds
undisputed command of the seas.
I trust this will bring peace and
rest to your spirits.
It is my agreeable duty to avail my
self of my presence in this city, whither
I have been called by onr emperor, to
render a report of our successes to the
spirits of those who sacrificed their
earthly existence in the attainment of
go important a rtsult.'
Oil an<l (Jas Notes.
The Market—On Thursday of lsst
week, the 2S)tb, the Standard made
another cut of 5 cents in the price of
crude, and it is $1.50. ...
The cut is supposed to be due to the
near completion of the great,
pipe-line from the Texas and Kansas
fields to the Eastern refineries.
Campbell Bros, of Butler have struck
a hundred-foot well on the Brown farm,
part of the Pine tract at Oneida, which
is doing 10 barrels a day.
The Phillips Gas Co. brought in a 12
barrel well on the Graham farm, in
Penn twp , Monday. The well is locat
ed 300 feet from Morrison-Dietrick &
Go's well on the S. Patterson, which is
holding up at 9 barrels per day. Giles
Gahaghan has a well drilling on an ad
joining lease.
Clay twp. —The Light & Heat Co. is
drilling on the Andy Thompson near
W. Sunbury.
Cherry twp. —John C. Wasson is
drilling on his own farm.
Muddycreek twp.—The M Finnessy
well on the Howard Pyle farm is doing
about 5 barrels from the Berea Grit
The South Penn and M. Finnessy of
Bradford own nearly all that field now.
Kansas-Dr. Showalterhas leased the
"Katy' R R Co's right of way in
Kansas and Indian Ter. for oil and gas
purposes. The Btrip is narrow but it is
800 miles long.

comjwsed of John Youukins, George
Campbell and T. C. Burns, completed
the sale of its property on the Camp
bell heirs' farm at Bruin to W. ('.
Jordan, H. V. Corbett and A. W. Pat
terson for $12,5000, last Thursday. Hnlf
a dozen oil wells and one gas well
change hands in the transaction. This
property is one of the most famous pro
ducers in the northeastern part of But
ler county, several of the wells being
nearly a quarter of a century old.
Kansas—Thirty years ago the grass
hoppers invaded the West, and the
Senate appropriated $30,000 to buy seed
wheat for the sufferers. Kansas was
one of tbe States that was looked upon
as ruined at that time So far as known
no grasshoppers have as yet threatened
to eat up her surplus supply of oil,
which she is about to send into the
Eastern markets as soon a* the big pipe
line to the refineries at Whiting, Indi
ana, has been completed.

"THE SIMPLE LIFE."
A WORLD FAMOUS BOOK AND ITS
AUTHOR, CHARLES WAGNER.
What l'i«Hiident Roo»evelt Say»
About the Volnmc— Interesting Ca
reer of the Dlseiple of Slmplielty.
HOTV the Book First Made a Hit.
Charles Wagner, author of "The Sim
ple Life," was practically made famous
by President Roosevelt, author of "The
Strenuous Life." Early In I'JO2 certain
well known New York publishers
brought out very quietly a translation
of "The Simple Life." At first the
book did not attract much attention,
except among the literary few, but
among the literary few was President
Roosevelt. On him the little volume
made such an impression that he re
ferred to it in one of his public ad
dresses as follows:
"The other day I picked up a little
book called 'The Simple Life,' written
by an Alsatian, Charles Wagner, and
he preached such wholesome, sound
doctrine that I wish it could be used as
a tract throughout our country. To him
the whole problem of our complex,
somewhat feverish modern life can be
solved only by getting men and women
to lead better lives. He sees that the
permanence of liberty and democracy
depends upon a majority of the people
being steadfast in that good, plain
morality which as a national attribute
comes only as the result of the slow
and painful labor of centuries and
which can be squandered in a genera
tion by the thoughtless and vicious. He
preaches the doctrine of the superiority
of the moral to the material, but he
insists, as we of this nation should al
ways insist, upon the infinite superior
ity of the moral and the sordid destrur-
REV. CHAKX.ES WAGNER.
tiou which comes upon either the na
tion or the individual if it or he be
comes absorbed only in the desire to
get wealth."
This public commendation from the
president of the United States, who
was the author of a book that seemed
the very antithesis of "The Simple
Life," aroused public curiosity, and In
a very short time there was a large
demand for the volume.
Charles Wagner Is a popular evan
gelical in Paris, and it seems the height
of incongruity that such a work should
come from such a source. As Grace
King says in her biographical sketch:
"From the great metropolis and sov
ereign see of modern civilization, from
the world's heart of sophistication,
from Paris, the complex city, comes
this volume of little essays upon the
simple life. A limpid, bubbling spring,
fresh and cool from its forest source,
running down one of the boulevards
would hardly appear more miraculous
to the eye or more refreshing to the
sense."
Wagner is a noted mini In Paris, the
kind of man whom people stare after
In the streets. Among the dapper nnd
undergrown Parisians he bulks large,
with his great height and massive
chest nnd shoulders. There are vari
ous legends, constituting a sort of lit
tle mythology, about his enormous
physical strength and the feats sup
posed to have been achieved by him in
his peasant days. For the rest ho Is
described as a man of singular sweet
ness and straightforwardness of char
acter, with a strong personal charm,
lie has a wide following, personal as
well as ethical.
The early career of this noteworthy
man is interesting. lie Is the son of n
Lutheran minister of Alsace, born at
Wibersville, in the Vosges, on Sunday
morning, Jan. 3, 1852, while his father
was preaching In the village church.
He was only seven years old when his
father died, and yet he was the eldest
of live children. The family moved to
Plialsbourg, and there Charles labored
In the fields and studied for the min
istry. lie was sent to Paris at four
teen and took a degree at the Sorbonno
Jn 1800. lie was a student of theology
at the University of Strassburg during
the Franco Prussian war, and there he
underwent a sort of spiritual revolu
tion, losing his religious faith. lie read
Spinoza and found in that philosopher
something to compensate for what he
had lost, hut two simple incidents led
to the restoration of his religious life.
Ono was the first sight of the Alps.
The mountains seemed to him God's
witnesses. The other event was some
thing that has happened to nearly cv 1
erybody—simply the sight of his moth
er on returning home after a long ab
sence. She was there, loyal to her du
ty. doing her daily work with tranquil
energy, never wearied and never dis
couraged, and the very thought of her
brought quietude, content, faith.
lie went from Strassburg to Got
tlngcn In 1575, and from there be re
turned to Alsace and became assistant
piistor at the foot of Ste. Odillc moun
tain. Hl* native place had been taken
lito the Prussian territory, his pastor
itc was within the new German fron
tier, and tor the first time the political
change began to weigh on him. There
was no sense of political oppression,
but a consciousness that intellectual
independence was not possible for him
In the conquered provinces. He set to
work, therefore, to master the French
language, accepted a position at Re
mircmont, In the French Vosges, and
in lKHii went to Paris, where he en
tered upon u successful careor as u
minister and a literary man. "Tht»
simple Life" Is the best known of sev
eral works that he has written, though
"Youth and Courage" and "The Better
Way" are fairly well known to Ameri
can readers.
After President Roosevelt spoke in
complimentary terms of "The Simple i
Lift " such Interest In the book and Its
author developed In America that Rev.
Mr. Wagner came across the Atlantic
to lecture. One of the first men lie call
ed upon was President Roosevelt, and
poncernlng the visit lie wrote the fol
lowing for Success magazine:
"I was particularly struck with the
simplicity of the home life of the prenl I
dent. To one accustomed to viewing
the pomp and ceremony Which stir
round the rulers of Europe there
serins to be something notable In the
entire lack of ostentation in the Roose
velt family. I was surprised at Mr.
Roosevelt's habit of Inviting to his pri
vate dining table those who are doing
good work In the world quite regard
less of what their power or social po
sition may lie. lie looks to the man him
self rather than to his appurtenances,
and this is a brushing away of the
superfluities which Is rare In men of
his position. In Washington I saw his
boys starting to u public school, and j
one of them did not even bother to |
wear a hat. This, of course, was a i
small matter, hut It impressed me. In I
Sjiropc the cbUOrgp 9/ g jmLej yiU? apt l
OHe-t«ith of the power of Mr. Roose
vflt do not go to school at all, much
less to a public school. They have a
corps of private and rarely ven
ture into the streets except in elabo
rate equipages.
"The observance of complete sim
pllcity in his personal and family life
by the president of the United States,
one of the most powerful rulers on
earth, has a wholesome influence not
only upon America, but also upon the
world at large."
When he landed in New York not
long ago Rev. Mr. Wagnef said:
"I love the American people. I want
ed to see them in their own country
and to know them personally. To ob
tain that end I learned their language,
aud here I am."
lie referred to the kind of English
he was about to speak, saying lie had
6tudied the English language only a
short while ago to tell the American
people of simplicity, and that if any
"accidents" occurred it would not be
by premeditatlou.
"I know that you are saying In your
hearts that it is not possible to live the
simple life in this gTeat city of rush
ing thought and energy, this city of
tremendous activities and skyscrapers,"
he said, "but I tell yon that it is."
"It is possible to live the simple life
on the twenty-fourth floor of a New
York skyscraper In the midst of all the
noise and confusion. The simple life
Is not a thing of the first floor or the
fortieth, not of the shoes or the waist
coat, but of the heart.
"Once iu Paris, that great city of
dust anil busy human life. I heard a
lark singing In a He was a
prisoner, it is true. But when I heard
him lifting up his voice to the blue sky
and I remembered the freedom of the
hills and the fields that had been mine
as a boy, the walls and houses of the
great city seemed to fade away, to
stretch out and expand.
"I speak to you here In the center of
one of the most tremendous cities In
the world. I sing my soug of simplici
ty like a lark in a cage—but it is a good
place to sing It. The more I study
your national character here in Amer
ica, the more I look into the founda
tions of your go yrnment, the more I
see of your stupendous energy, the
more I realize that at the bottom of It
all Is the simplicity of your national
character.
"I visited the White House at Wash
ington. I found there nothing of the
grandeur of the homes of kings and
kaisers, but the pure simplicity qf a
great people expressed lu the home of
a chief executive. I was a guest of
your president. I pressed his hand,
and I had many long talks with him
upon the great questions of the day.
And again I felt that a splendid sim
plicity was at the root of your national
character. Stay true to your tradi
tions; be true to your convictions. Tho
human race demands It of you."
Dr. Wagner told how he came to
write "The Simple Life. 1 ' He was call
ed upon while a pastor In Tarls to
marry a workman and his sweetheart.
One of the six witnesses was the
daughter of a great politician.
"I talked to them upon the beauty of
living simply," be said. "A few days
afterward the young lady came to me
to ask me to perform her marriage,
and she asked me to give Just the same
tnlk that I had to the workman. There
were to be 2.000 people present. Includ
ing the greatest diplomats, the greatest
politicians and the leaders In the In
tellectual and social life of Paris.
"I consented and talked to them sim
ply and straightforwardly upon the
simple life. There was a publisher
present, as there always is, and the
next day he asked me to write 'The
Simple Life.' I did, and It has gone
through the world everywhere. As for
me, I Intend to remain a boy, with a
boy's heart, till I am an old, old man."
The author-clergyman's chapel In the
Boulevard Beaumarchals, Paris, has
grown from a quaint little upper room
and Is now too small to bold the crowds
that lloek to hear him, and generally
more than 1,000 persons are turned
away from the doors on Snndtu.
A PICTORIAL DRAMA.
Hon Tweed Wan Identified In Spain
b>- a \amt Cartoon.
No very strenuous effort had been
made to tlnd Tweed, but it became
known at last that he was somewhere
in Spanish territory. As early as Sept.
30 Nnst cartoonod the "boss" as a
tiger appearing from u cave marked
"Spain." Now, suddenly, cauie anoth
er report—a cable-that one "Twld"
(Tweed) had been identified and cap
tured at Vigo, Spain, on the charge of
"kidnaping two American children."
This seemed a curious statement, for
whatever may have been the boss' sins
he had not been given to child stealing.
Then came further news, and the mys
tery was explained. Tweed had been
identified and arrested at Vigo through
the cartoon "Tweedle-dee and Tllden
duin," drawn by Thomas Nast. The
"street gamins"—to the Spanish office,
who did not read English—were two
children being forcibly abducted by the
big man of the stripes and club. The
printing ou the dead wall they judged
to be the story of Ills crime. Perhaps
they could even spell out the word "re
ward" in an upper corner.
Absurd us it all was, the identifica
tion was flawless. Tweed, on board
the steamer Franklin, came back to
America to die. When hiM baggage
was examined it was found that he
had preserved every cartoon Nnst had
drawn of him, save the few final ones
published after his escape, one of
which had placed him again behind
prison bars. On Oct. 7 Harper's re
published this picture with the story of
the boss' capture. The pictorial drama
was complete.—Albert Blgelow Paine

Longevity Is ever a subject of ab
sorbing Interest. The desire to live Is
the common Inheritance of the race. A
desire to die does not spring from a
sound mind In a sound body. A priest,
having administered the last rites of
the church to a dying Irishman, asked
If he wero not now ready to depart.
The sick man replied, "Sure, father, I
would rather stay where I am best tie
