young people, and perhaps will uol un i ,
til somebody tells thorn. 1 wa.i thinking
alMHtt this month of April and how j ,
It got its name from a Uitin word that , ,
means "'to open," because during the j
month tho earth begins to open for the i .
seed to l Oiue tip and the grass to grow , j
and the buds on U?o .trees open into ,
leaves and llowcrs. Young peopi j ,
should know that away hack before the
(Christian era there wcro but ten
months and the year ended with l>eeembcr
and begaat with .lanuary, bernse
their god Jirmis was n dotiblefactsi
god and with one fn.ee looked
back at the old year and with the
Jther looked forv ai d at the new year.
Tha' was pretty and appropriate. before
ihe reign of Kuma, January and
February were not in .In beginning of
the year, but those old Roman empo frors
and the old popes did what they
*) I eased with time, and so January was
made the llrst month to rdouse Janus
rtien Nuina trunspasod Pchmary to
pk-a.se Inipercus, another god who they
aaid was the Mb" wolf thai suckled]
Romulus atiiI Remits in a cave. and
the Romans established a yearly festival
in honor -of this she wolf and ,
railed it February, w.hich means er.pi
ation. March iviik numel in honor or
Mara, anothei god, and thr 2">ih of
March wis the beginning of the year
for 2,1100 years, not only with the
Romans. hut with many Christian nations.
Indeed. It was not changed
from this distinction unt il tin- ye v
175?2. and it seems to me a pity that .t
ever was changed. The time of the
vernal equinox, the 21at of March,
aeemo more like a now year an-d come
"ban does the cold hloak midwinter <jT
the first day of January.
The next month to April was named <
in honor of another god or goddess '
named Mains, who was the mother of I
Mercury. Then came June, a name '
given in honor of Junius, the god of
youth. Then came the other four
months. September. October, Novem- i

. . (jourse they had to rob the other
bontlis of some of their days in order i
jto g^t these two months in. Now. my
jyoung friends, just think of it. how the
civilized Christian world has been irafcjoord
upon by superstition. Every day
Hip the week and almost every mon'.lh in
tlio year named in honor of some imaginary
god that the heathen people worshiped.
Paul preached a grand sermon
when he said to them: "Whom ye is
norantly worship him declare I unto
you." Not only did we Ret from them
the names of days anil months, but the
names of all the planets except one.
and that is the earth that we live upon.
How faithfully they did worship their 1
Rods. How loyal were they to Jupiter,
the god of all Rods, whom they imagined
sat upon a throne on the top of
Mount Olympus, an imaginery mountain
far up in the heavens, and fro.n j
there overlooked and blessed the clill- j
dren of men. Hove Is the foundation of I
character or every god, whether real or j
Imaginary. It la worthy of reraem- ;
brance that all the historic nations i
worshiped gods whom they believed to
be good. No people have ever wor- |
shiped a god who did not love and care
fur the children of men. There wore
gods of evil. too. but the people did not
love them. They Poaro.1 Oliein just as
we fear the power of Satan now. The
origia of many things of every day use
in the business of life is a curious ond
i'nC&reating study. For im^Oanee who
established the ex-act length of an inrh,
a foot, a yard. Who fixed the weight
of a pound of sugar or ? ten dollar
coin of gold or a bushel of meal.
Those things .haven't been fixed so
very long. The nations have been
working on them for centuries and
they were not finally agroed on until
about 150 years ago. During the reign
of King George IV the house of parliament
in Ixindon was-burned up and the
standards of weights and measures was
burned up with it, and It took years
to reproduce them, for although thousands
of people had yard sticks and
weights and measures, they were not
exactly alike. Many yardsticks were
a trifle short and thero were, scales to
buy hy and scales to sell by and so (
with peck mcasuires <md half-bushel [
measures, for there were dishonest
nerchants then atid I rv-ckoa there are
iom? now. The flr$t foot measure is '
mid to have br.en the exact length of i
in ancient Rowan emperor's foot. The !
irsl inoh wan tb? length of three grains j
?f English barley, which, it is said, is |
i4?e moat uniform in sl*e and length of
?ny grain In hhe world. They took
108 grcvhiK out of a pile and lufd tin em
i-n a lino touching each other and railed
it a yard and one-thlrtv-sixth nan
rjf that line was an .inch and so we have
the old table of three barley corns
make one inch. twelve inches one foot
mnd so on. When niy wife wishes to
ut up shirting or calico into certain
engths she measures it by holding It
mil at arm's length from the tips of her
in gens to her nose and declares she
loes not. miss it a quarter <?f an inch
ind says it. is more correct than three
arley corns or an emperor's foot.
What a time the |>eople of the worldtave
had in getting things settled
lown to a uniform condition. Andt
they are not. -all sotiled yet. We havej
not vet agreed on our war with the]
Philippines of the English war with the)
floors of the tariff on Porto Rico or
whether McKinlcy is a tippler or is
[>ewey joking about the presidency or
who is governor of Kentucky. Tlrsrc
ire over 200 diflerent kinds of religion

kinds of Methodists, thirteen of F aptists.

CHANGES FOB THE BETTER
I AOvsr-Uge in the Levy of Taxes and
Otherwise.
J Important change in the school law..
At the lusi sfKsion of the general :is;
sembly there was an act passed which
! ts of particular interest to the public
scnoois or me state. .Speaking of it
j ctuperiiitcaMient i>r Education MeMahan
I said:
j
"This i.s the season of the year when
I ambitious and progressive neighlHir|
hoods are seeking to levy an extra tax
j for the support of their schools in a
more efficient manner than can be done
I with the ordinary eonstitntional tax
i alone. The last legislature changed the
j method of* procedure in the levy of
this tax. I shall be obliged if yon will
t publish tihe new law in order that all
! may know how to make the levy legali
ly. The essential changes are:
"Kirst. Tin* petition to the county
hoatd of education shall be by one
' third of the resident voters and a lik
, proportion of the resident freeholders
I of the ago of 21 years, wliiie formerly
tliis petition had to he signed by only
1 six freeholders of the age of 21 years.
I "Second. The mass meeting to ordet
the election is dispensed with, and the
i 'board of education orders the election
| upon the petition signed as above indi'
rated.
| "Third. An elector must have paid
taxes, but upon no special amount of
! property, whereas heretofore he could
I not vote at t.his election unless lie paid
I taxes upon Si00 worth of property
I "An extra levy is evidently of very
i little value to a poor community. A
i State tax alone can render these tic
help they need. My the county it nii'l
tax now the towns contribute to the
support of the outlying schools. Hut
for a town or a prosperous district, an
extra levy is always effective? and carries
with it the charm (to the selfish)
that it. el es not have to tdivided with
poor neighbors."
' The following i- the section of the.
law as it now reads:
Section "4--That the voters or electors
of any school district who rciuru
real or personal property for taxation
are authorized to levy and collect an
annual tax t:? supplement anv sneeial
I or" other constitutional or other tax for

I I'pdn the written petition ur request ?if
at least one-third of the resident voters
and a like proportion of I he resident
freeholders of the age of wl years being

tioti, asking for the same and stating
1 the rnto uf tffio tax levy projtosed.whioh
shall not exceed 1 mills, the said
county lx>urd of education shall order
the ic.itd of trustees of said school
district to hold an election at some
i place within the district after giving
notice of the time and place thereof
for at least two weeks in some newspaper
published within the county and
[ by posting notice thereof in at least
, three public places within such school
district for such length of time, unless
there be no newspaper published with
i in the countv in which ini.ni -

at Which said election only such electors

hoard of trustees shall act as managers
and the election shall he conducted as
