Mark the date. 1 take it for granted that yon admit that a century is one hum years. The word century is der from the Latin centum, which litei means (100) oue hundred. The Christian Era was establish the Christian church, and a calends the sears, months, weeks and days i est down in order with the feast obeei by the church, etc. This Christian had a .beginning. It commenced A one (1) January 1st. The first 100 y of the first century ended 31st Dec. Tho second ? " ??

If I am correct you have cot re dated the preeent iaasue of the Tit and your calendar is correct. If I dn-atand your century article you it that the year 1000 is the first year of ne a* -entury, and not the last yea the preeent centuiy. The date of y paper prevee otherwise. Y<ft corre date your paper 1880 and must ad that 90 year is nut 100 years and if i then the present year 1809 needs aunt y ear to complete the 19th century enc 3l*t of December 1900 when tlie i 20th century will take its date A. 1001, Jan. 1st. When I look over the list of na who differ in this century sum it re mi me of a little puzzle that caused a m larger number to ' come within one oi The puzzle consists of three column figures arranged thus: _ _ 3 3 3 5 5 5 7 7 *7~ 9 9 0 Now the poiut is, to add together i nix of the above figures and make total twenty-one (21).
