FREELAND, PA., JULY 13, 1800.
To Reform the Russian Calender.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The report that the Russian govern
ment has decided to conform Its calen
dar to that of western civilization by
adopting the Gregorian and abandon
ing the Julian stylo has now been offi
cially verified by information to that
effect transmitted to the state depart
ment at Washington by our counsul
general at St. Petersburg. It has not
boon determined when the change will
be made or in what manner it will be
accomplished, but as Russia is a pure
autocracy there will be no trouble about
tiiat.
All that will be necessary is for the
czar to issue his ukase and the thing
will be done. The classical feat known
as knocking any one into the middle of
next week, often talked about, but
seldom realized, will bo achieved upon a
scale of world-wide magnitude.
Indeed, it will be surpassed, because
when the czar gives the word it is at a
period considerably beyond the middle
of next week that the Russian millions
will be landed, as the Russian calendar
Is full twelve days behind the times. It
is possible that the elimination of this
interval will be effected by slow degrees.
When Pope Gregory XIII promulgat
ed in 1582 the reform of the calendar
which had been arranged under his
auspices, the Catholic countries, as in
duty bound, accepted the new order of
things at once, and ten whole days were
nominally and apparently eliminated.
Protestant Europe, however, foolishly
unwilling in this respect, to follow the
pope's lead, was slow to adopt tho im
provement. It worried along with the
old inaccurate stylo until 1700, while
England illustrated her characteristic
conservatism by refusing to fall into
line until 1752.
Most of tho countries made the tran
sition from the old style to the new by
skipping the total number of days to be
dropped and thus getting tho thing over
at once, but some prolonged the agony.
The Netherlands, for instance, dropped
a day annually until the total number
had been disposed of.
Russia might pursue that or some
analogous course, but she probably
won't. It isn't customary with her to
do things 1n that way. When she
moves at all she moves rapidly, and so
the chances are tiiat some fine morning
tin; czar's one hundred and twenty mil
lion subjects will wake up to find that
according to the calendar they have
grown twelve days older over night.
They probably will accept tho situation
with their accustomed philosophy.
In England, the passage of Lord
Chesterfield's act ordering that Septem
ber 2, 1752, should be followed by Sep
tember 14 led to rioting and actually
became a political issue, with the cam
paign cry of "Give us back our eleven
days."
The Russian peasantry of today may
lie not less ignorant than that, but they
are too docile and submissive to express
any dissatisfaction with the declared
will of their august father.
RIMIIII; to the Occasion.
From the Philadelphia Record,
The merchant who takes advantage
of the tide of business at its flood is
pretty sure to be carried on to fortune;
but he must know how to meet the oc
casion and to grasp opportunities. In
the East Indies there is a species of
grain collecting ant which stores up
quantities of the native cereals for food.
When, however; the terrific monsoon
storms swirl over the land the garnered
food is moistened by the heavy rains.
Then the ants rise to the occasion.
They watch for tiie first sunbeams, and
when these appear the whole colony
carries out tho store from their little
granaries to dry in tho warmth of the
sun.
Like-wise when the sun of prosperity
shines above the business world the
watchful and industrious merchant is
prompt to take, advantage of its profit
able influences, and lie uses various
means, tho chief of which is first-class
newspaper advertising, to direct these
influences toward his own business.

FRESH NEWS AND COMMENTS FROM
LIVELY WASHINGTON.
AlKriMtit in Becoming Distasteful to Sec
retary Gage unci lie Threatens to I.eave
t!ie Cahiuet— New Brand of the Fxpan
sion question.
Washington, July 11, 1800.
The Alger-l'ingreo muddle has been
thickened by Alger's positive denial
that he made a deal with Pingree and
saying that Pingree had merely offered
to support his candidacy for the senate
j because of his dislike for McMillan.
, Later Alger denied that. This sort of
tiling is regarded by some as indicating
the truth of a story told in Washington
a few days ago, alleging that Mr. Mc-
Kiniey intended to support Alger and
I oppose Senator McMillan, but others—
many others —regard it as nothing
more than frantic efforts of Alger to re
tain his hold upon the war portfolio.
The best informed men in political cir
cles regard a break in Mr. McKinley's
cabinet as inevitable. It may not be
Alger, however, who will go out. It is
| well known that the relations between
! Secretaries Gage and Alger, never very
cordial, have almost reached the fight
ing stage, and not believed that all of
Mr. McKinley's admitted knack of
mollification can succeed in keeping
two men so antagonistic to each other
in his official family.
t t t
Secretary Gage would have resigned
last winter if the powerful financial in
terests he represents bad not insisted
on his remaining in the cabinet. He
has never entirely forgiven Mr. Mc
kinley for not recommending the finan
cial legislation he advised in his annual
report, instead of merely commending
tho report to the consideration of con
gress. Mr. Gage considers himself the
only financier and regards Mr. McKiniey
and the other members of tho cabinet
as timid amatuers. Mr. McKiniey
wishes Secretary Gage to remain in the
cabinet until after the presidential
election, anyway, because he knows
that if he retires before then, it will
bring about a material reduction in the
Republican campaign fund.

The highest rank held during the
civil war by Hon. I). B. Henderson was
colonel. But ever since his election as
speaker of the house became a certainty,
lie lias been constantly referred to as
"General," and when lie came to Wash
ington several days ago, on a patronage
round-up, which, by the way, was one
of tho most successful made by any in
dividual under tho present administra
tion, he found that all of the officials,
from Mr. McKiniey down, recognized
his promotion; also tiiat some of the
members of tho house were ready to
give him a divine title, if lie would oniy
agree to gfve them the committee as
signments they hankered after. Colonel
Henderson surprised those who thought
him made of sterner stuff, by exhibiting
liis soreness, because ex-Czar Reed had
not congratulated him on the success
of his speakership campaign.

That Hon. John R. McLean was
being pushed forward by his friends as
a candidate for tho Democratic nomi
nation for governor of Ohio, lias been
apparent for several weeks, but it was
not positively known whether it was
being done with or without Mr. Mc-
Lean's consent until he authorized the
publication of the following statement
as to his position: "1 have not sought
the nomination and do not regard my
self entitled to demand it; but I have
friends who have urged my name in this
connection, and I am by no means in
different. On Uie contrary, I won'd
regard the nomination as a very high
honor, and if it is tendered me, of
course, 1 will accept, and regard myself
as obligated to make the strongest fight
I can for the party. Ido not think any
Ohio Democrat could afford to refuse
such a distinction." Mr. McLean
thinks existing conditions in Ohio givo
tho Democrats tho best chance they
have had for some time to elect a gover
nor, and no man has better facilities
than lie lias, through tho numerous
correspondents of his paper, the Cin
cinnati Inquirer, to know tho exact con
ditions in every part of the state.

Governor Roosevelt is now posing as a
military expert. lie says tiiat, Mr. Mc-
Kiniey sent for him to consult him in
that capacity concerning the officers
! and organization of the new regiments
i which are to be immediately recruited
for the Philippines. It is more likely
| that Roosevelt's errrand in Washington
| was a political one of some sort.

j Gen. Joe Wheeler, who will sail from
San Francisco for Manila, on the 20th

congress, because he expects to be back

Here's a brand new phase of the ex
pansion question. Bishop Grant, of the
A. M. E. Church (negro), is in Washing
ton advocating the annexation of
Liberia by the United States. He told
Mr. McKiniey tiiat since we had ex
' pa tided into Asia, we might as well also
take a slice of Africa, but somehow the
Liberia idea doesn't seem to enthuse the
expansionists. They think It all right
to annex the saddle-colored man, but
draw the line on the black man.
Testimony was taken before Judge
Woodward on Tuesday in the proceed
ings brought to restrain tho county com
missioners from erecting tho proposed
new court house on tho Public Square
site. Friday morning the arguments of
I counsel will be heard.

"No."
"Doesn't lit the tongue, does it?"
"Not a hit."
"Rich, too. isn't It?"
"Yes, it's rich enough."
"You bet it is. The beauty about

! ANCIENT INVENTIONS
APPARENTLY THERE IS NOTHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN.
The Romans and Etruscans Were the
First Users of the Safety Pin and
1 Othes Household Articles Generally
j Supposed to Be Modern.
The Smithsonian Institution has a
collection made up exclusively of
ancient inventions that are commonly
| supposed to be very modern. Take, for
example, the safety pin. It was in
in common use in ancient Rome. In
I fact, it was a familiar article of domes
| tic usefulness in Italy long before
j Rome obtained her glory. Safety pins
I similar in all respects to those now em
ployed have been obtained in quanti
ties from the tombs of the Etruscans,
whose civilization long antedated that
of the kingdom founded by Romulus
nud Remus. They were of bronze,
land utilized the familiar principle of
j coiled spring and catch.
Some of these old-time safety pins
| took the form of ornaments. Occasion
ally they were quite large, ten inches
or so in length, and hollow, as if de
signed to be attached to the gown in
i front and possibly to contain some
thing or other.

INVENTIONS OF ANCIENT TIMES.
The belt of tliln copper worn by the
ancient Roman soldier was fastened to
a strip of cloth, for lining, in a very
simple way—namely, by a series of
those little clamps which to-day are
commonly employed for holding a
number of sheets of paper together.
Indeed, the well-known McGill paper
fastener, out of which the patentee has
made a large fortune, is nothing more
or less than an exact reproduction of
the device described in common use at
least 2,500 years ago.
In the collection referred to are a
number of fishhooks, not less than
ft,ooo years old, obtained from Swiss
lake dwellings. They are of bronze,
and as to shape are exactly like
modern patterns; they have the same
curves and the same barbs, witli a
similar expansion at the top of the
shank for the attachment of the line.
But for the metal of which they are
composed they might have been made
yesterday. The very fact that they
are of bronze is a proof of their great
antiquity, referring them to a prehis
toric epoch. All of European history
belongs to the post-bronze or iron age.
Other curios from the ancient Etrus
can tombs are strainers, ladles, spoons
and knives of bronze. There is a line
tooth comb of ivory, in shape pre
cisely like the line-tooth combs of to
day. Not less interesting are bronze
mirrors which have the same shape as
the modern toilet glass with a handle.
Of course, tlicy have long lost their
polish which made them serviceable,
but one is able to distinguish the
figures of human beings and animals
etched on their backs.
Sucli articles of bronze, as well as
daggers ami other weapons and uten
sils. were cast when practicable in
molds that were carved out of hard
stone, a pair of stones being required
to produce the object, which was
afterward polished and otherwise ela
borated. The colitvtlon described is
rich in needles, bodkins and thimbles.
These last had no tops like modern
thimbles, but were provided, never
theless, with the same sort of inden
tations to catch the head of the noodle.
There are razors, also of bronze,
which may have been well enough in
their day, though it must have been
pretty hard work to shave with them.
Their shape was vry different from
the modern, being that of a crescent,
with a small handle.
Among the most plentiful of the ob
jects got from the Etruscan tombs are
great pins with big round heads which
In shape are exactly like the modern
hatpins. Indeed, there can be no ques
tion that the hatpin of to-day is de
rived from tills source. It is popularly
imagined that the button with a per
forated shank is a comparatively new
invention, but it Is not so at all. as
Is proved by the fact that bronze but
tons of similar make were in use fully
2.500 years ago. and probably much
more anciently. The collar stud is
equally old. The ancient Etruscans
and Romans used hairpins, but the lat
ter were single wires of bronze, the
notion of doubling ami bending them
being unthouglit of in those days.

Corporal Hardtack entered Delmon

which amounted to several thousand
dollars and 15 cents.
Carefully he looked over the gold

"Bring me turtle soup," he said to
the garcon.
"Oui."
"Baked salmon trout."
"Oui."
"And a bottle of Sauterue."
"Oui, monsieur."
"And when that is out of the way,
bring me Little Neck clams on the
half shell, chicken salad and sweet
breads."
"Oui, monsieur," murmured the per
spiring waiter.
"Then bring me venison steak."
"Oui."
"Fried potatoes, boiled potatoes,
hashed potatoes, and baked potatoes."
The waiter now nodded.
"Rare roast beef, tongue, chops,
beefsteak, orange ice, turkey, with
cranberry sauce, quail"—
The waiter feel down in a faint, and
another took his place.
"Quail on toast," went on Corporal
Hardtack, "ortolans, terrapin stew,
ham and eggs,,—
"Oui. monsieur," trembled the new
garcon, panting.
"A bottle of champagne, absinthe
