A FRENCH CALENDAR. Tha On That Wa Adoptod During the Revolution, In tho French, revolution the na tional convention adopted a new cal endar containing twelve months of thirty days each. Tbe five days in tbe year thus left were disposed of by making them "festivals." Tbe months were named, not January, February, etc., but Vendemaire, Brumalre, Fri malre, Nivose, Fluviose, Ventose, Ger minal, Floreal, Prairial, Messidor, Tbermldor and Fructklor. Each of these names bad a meaning. Instead of naming a month meanlng iessly after a heathen god, as we name January after Janus and March fiftc' Mars, the names represented the spe cial characteristics . of the month. Fructidor, for instance, which includes part of what we call September, means "the fruity month ;" Germinal, the first of the spring months, running from the last of March to the middle of April, means "the month of buds," and Flo real, which follows it, the "flowery" or "flowerat" month. Thermidor, which means the "hot month," is the month which uuder the republican calendar included part of July and part of August The political significance of the word arises from tbe fact that the revolution which verthrew Robespierre and ended the reign of terror occurred on the 9H of the month of Thermidor, or, as we should say, July 27, 1704. It was call ed "the revolution of Tbermldor," as we peak of "the September massa cres," and the revolutionists were nick named "Tbermidorlans."
