Gentlemen entitled to bear Arms, Women take the same rank as their husbands or as their brothers; but the daughter of a Peer marrying a Commoner retains her title as Lady or Honourable.

Merely official rank on the husband's part does not give to the wife. There are three Snipe, bécassines, Sounds (cod), nau morue. But members are entitled to no special precedence.

The ear 5654=Sept. 11, 1893; the year ie ea per 1894. i of Passover, April 21-28, 1894. The Jewish Day begins at Sunset. MOHAMMEDAN CALENDAR. Moslems reckon the years from A.D. 622 (July 16), which is called the Year of the Hejira, or Flight, of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina (A.H.=Anno Hejira=Year ofthe Flight). It isa common practice for readers in this country to add 622toa ome Vielen year (A.H.), in order to ascertain the corresponding year of the Christian era; but this is entirely wrong, as the Moslem year is reckoned by lunar months. For example, A.H. 10 was not A.D. 632, but began on April » 631; A.H. 169 was not A.D. 791 (169-+-622=791), but egan on July 14, 795 A-D. Thus calculating ty lunar months in the course of years the great Moslem fasts and festivals occur at different seasons: the Ramadan fast, for instance, sometimes occurs in sweltering mid- summer, at other times in midwinter. The Moslem year 1311 began 13th July, 1803; A.H. 1312=3rd July, 1894, and the following table will show howthe relative years A.H. and A.D, will work out:— A.H. A.D, J AH.
