Changers of Times

By Editor

Changers of Times.—The press despatches say that at the Paris Exposition an attempt will be made to have the entire world adopt the new calendar of thirteen months, devised and copyrighted by one C. H. Bundy, of Marion, Ind. His solution of the vexed problem is the introduction of a new month, Century, in commemoration of its adoption between two centuries. The name is urged as being well chosen, in that it is not local to America, but would be acceptable to every country. Every month will then have just twenty-eight days. Every month and every year will begin upon Monday. But what about the nearly six hours extra? We suppose Monday is made the first day so as to endeavor to make Sunday the seventh. That is, we will begin at the second child in the family to count, counting the oldest last so as to make him the youngest! That would be absurd, but no more so than men's efforts to get around what the Lord says.
