Writes a regular subscriber, who
has read it for many yecrs, of the
Twice-ii-Week issue of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat
and this is the unanimous verdict

readers. It is beyond all com
parison, the biggest, best and
cheapest national news and fami-

It is strictly Republican in
politics, but it is above all a
newspaper, and gives all the
news promptly, accurately and
impartially. It is indispens-
able to the Farmer, Merchant or
Professional man who desires to
keep thoroughly posted, but has
not the time to read a large Daily
paper, while its great variety of
well selected reading jmatter
makes it an invaluable home
and family paper.

A few days ago, snys the Chicago
Chronicle, the ticket seller at the S'\
tv-thinl street station of the elevated
road noticed a very small l>oy stamlin
on the platform accompanied by
brown setter. The boy wa* so smnil
that he could not lell where he lived
and was evidently lost. 'I lie dtip licked
his hand affectionately, panted in a 1h>
nevolent way and stuck close to the
boy. That dop knew that the boy
lost all right.
Some one read the number of the
dog's license and went to a neighboring
drug store and telephoned to the city
hall. Could the city hall give any de-
scription of o\\ ner or house dognnmber
of d(^p license No. '.Mi07? Certaiinly.
The owner lived at a certain hotel in

THIRTEEN MONTHS IN A YEAR.
A Proposition to Start in 1900 with a

It is suggested that on .January It
moo. a new division of the year into 1.1
months be instituted. It is claimed,
pays the. Scientific Americ.in. that thia
Is not so preposterous as most people
would be likely to consider it at the
first thought. Jf such a. division were
made the first 12 months would have
just USduys, or four weeks each, and t lie
new month 29 to make .< " . and .50 in
leap year. After a few days t here would
be no need to refer to calendars, as 1 he
same day of the week would have the
same date through the year. If Jan-
uary 1 were, say Monday, every Monday
would be the 1st, Mh, 1Mb and ~:.'d;
every Tuesday the 'id, Oth, Kith and ~:'.d,
nnd so on throughout the year. The
changes of the moon would be on alnitit
the same dates through the. year, and
many calculations, like interest, dates
of maturing notes, Easter Sunday and

that the arguments in favor of the
metric system on the ground of utility i ar,
apply with considerable force in the s1}J
present case. We fear, however, that | WJJ

ment, which are strong in the matter
of weights and measures, would be
even stronger against the proposed re-
vision of our methods of computing
