Gegorian Calendar in Russia.

Russia,whose calendar is twelve days days behind ours, proposes to change to the Gregorian calendar after beginning of the new century. The authorities have not yet decided whether to jump over the thirteen days at once or to accomplish their object gradually, by omitting the first twelve leap years of the century. It would require fortyeight years to bring about the change. —New York Independent
