What This Year I?. It's not only the year 1020 Anno Domini; tut it's also: The year 144 of American Independence; the year 5680 o^ the Jewish calendar; the year ip.19 by the okl Russian calendar (by which New Year's Day <Sritnes on Jan. 14 of our calendar); the year 1838 by the Mohflmmedan calendar, and the year 1886 by the Coptic calendar, which Is used In parts of Egypt and Ethiopia. It Is an Interesting and little known fact, by the way, that our calendar years are not reckoned from the year of Christ's birth; but from the fourth year after his birth. Christ >vas born in the year 4 B. C., according to the majority of authorities on such mat ters. Somewhere, sometime, a mistake In reckoning the years was made, which became so firmly established that It was Impossible to correct the calendar after the discovery of the mistake was made. Teach Boys Art of Fish ng. A Ashing school., the first In Italy, has been opened at Naples, with an attendance of eighty enthusiastic and ambitious fisher boys. Extended trips to fishing grounds will be made In n Inrg?* motor boat, the gift of the Junior Red Cross of America, and In struction will be given in the practice and theory of Ashing. Some of the lessons will deal with the possible use of Ash for canning, the nature and extent of oil In Ash, and its extraction and preservation. It is believed the school will do much good here, as a large part of the population earns Its livelihood by Ash ing, but st 111 employs old-fash Ion$d methods. Several other schools are being organized, one of them exclu sively for girls. ^ j "Be Sure You Are R'flht.* The vital thing In achievement Is a fixed goal backed up by a loyal -will.
