Gregorian Calendar 1
The present calendar was adopted In
the Sixteenth century, the Julian or (
old Roman calendar having become <
greatly erroneous. Luigl Lllaa Qhiraldi,
frequently called Aloysula LI lues, a ?
physician, of Verone, projected a plan
for amending the Julian calendar,
which, after hla death was presented
by his brother to Pope Gregory XIH.
To carry It into execution, the Pope '
assembled a number of prelates and
learned men. In 1577 the proposed <
change was adopted by all the Oathollc <
princes, and In 1582 Gregory leaned a
brief abolishing the Julian calendar In
all Catholic countries, and Introducing
In Its stead the one now In use, under
? *\i
the name of the Gregorian or rexormeu
calendar, or the "new style," as the <
other was now called the "old style."
The Gregoylan calendar was not |
adopted la England until 1762,

IA Trip Up The
; Nile Enjoyed
| Mr. White Makes
' Interesting Talk
i A large and appreciative audience
i greeted Mr. W. C. White at the Lanidr
libraryj on Friday svening of last week
[ when iie lectured on "A Trip Up the
ile," upder the auspices of the Junior
Choral Society.
The subject ci rried jthe audience
back six thousanl years or more to
the dawn of histc ry when Egypt was j
the glory of the world. J The mind of I,
the audience was quickened by the j,
praphic account of |the Ptolemy I
Temples and the beautifully colored
slides brought before the eye the ruins
of such ancient citiejs as emphis,
I Thebes, Karnak, Luxor and others,
showing the culture and high state of (
civilization of earljy Egjjpt. (
After showing jthe oourse of che 1
Nile, the longest j single river in the s
world and varying froni three to thir- f
teen miles in width, tbs lecturer took 1
the ahdience to the ajncient city of 1
Cairo, thecapital of modern Egypt. f
Cairo was very picturesque in its 1
I1 oriental coloring and its architectural
beauty, the fantastic tracery of ias C
minarets, its great.white domes and
its graceful temples. I The narrow
streets were alive with people; the
dark skins of. the Tjirks, and the
Ethiopians with their rich turbans and
1 flowing robes; the veiled women, part- b
ly concealed in the nicl esj of the walls b
watching the passir, c crotvd, the >f
brown faces of the t. :..bs from the tl
desert with their picturesque silken P
rober, the banners aid drums, the si
vendors of fruit; all presented a spec- p
tacle that charmed tie; imagination p
and brought to the e re all the rich d
? coloring of the orient. u
One of the most interesting sights C
was the students squatted in a circle st
