If the year were divided into thftz teen instead of twelve months, with twenty-eight days in each month exctpt the thirteenth, w.hich should have twenty-nine days in ordinary yeais aud thirty days in leap years, then caiendars would le practically unnecessary and many calculations, as of 1terest, the maturing of notea, etc, ft-ould be matters of great slmpliclty! For, with such a división of the yeaiy e&ch day of the week wouW come a, the same dates in each month. IÍ January 1, say, were Monday, the lst, 8th, lötii and 22d of every month that year would be Monday; the 2d, 9th, 16th and 23d Tuesday, and so on. The advantages of this system, says the New York Times, are obvious, and entlfic persons are seriously discussinp what chance there is of peisuading the world to adopt it in 1900.
