Ycnrs and Lem Years.

The wear 1900 will not he a leap year !;
1896 and 1894 will he leap years To
explain this we must give Il short ac-
count of the change of style Ill the cal
endar effected by Pope Gregory XIII.
He found that the error of eleven min
utes in the Julian calendar hadamOunt-
ed to ten days. He therefore deducted
ten days in October, 1882, and TO pre-
vent recurrence of the error, it was
ordered that every year ending century
should not be considered leap year,
except the multiples of the year 400.
Thus, 1900 was leap year but 100
was not, nor 1900, nor will 1900 be; but
1000 will he leap year, and every four
hundredth wear after it. In Englandand
America the Grcgorian calendar was
not adopted until 1852; consequently,
with us, 100 was not a leap year, and
we are eleven DAYS ont. These were
subtracted, and at the time the measure
cnacting the alteration caused consider
able uneasiness, aud some few riots
among the poorer people, who could not
comprehend the matter, and raised the
cry of Give us back our eleven days
The Greeks and Russians still retain
the old style, so that there is now a diff
ference of twelve days between their
dates and ours, because they have CON
sidered 100 and 1900 as leap years.

ing, he felt arope passed round his neck.
He then understood the little trick that
was TO be played on him, but did not
move. His wife went up to the attic,
and taking advantage of this moments
respite, the drunkard relieved himself OF
his rope and fastened it the foot of the
stove. which soon entup to the ceiling
with frightful noise, caused by the fall
of some crockery which was standing
upon it.
The wife, thinking the noise was
caused by the fruitless struggle of the
husband, ran to the police office to de
clare that she had found her husband
hung The police arrived in hot haste,
and a candle was lighted, when all
started back at the spectacle which pre-
scented itself The stove was swinging
gracefully in space, and the husband
gravely smoking his pipe. Instead
of suicide, an attempt to murder was
established against the wife, who was
arrested.

The ConstitusionalIy Bilious.

No two parts Of the human body more
strongly Sympathize together than the
stomach and Liver. When one is deranged
the other is generally out frcpair. And al
no other period of the year are they so liable
to become dcrangcd as now, and thus lay the
foundation ofdiSordcrs which willroh life OF
its pleasures, and, perhaps end in death
itself The stomach now requires an anti
bilious tonic, the liver needs t0ning imine-
diatcly, and the blood ought to be cleanSed
and purified. Perhaps y"u do not realize
the force of this statement; but, nevcrthe-
less, the necessity for observing il does exist.
Be warned in time, and seek safety and eN-
emption from disease by using MlSHLER'S
HERB BITTERS every day, regularly. IL

Infection in the Air.

Experimental chemists have repeatedly
analyzed the air at unhealthy seasons, in
the hope of detecting the invisible virus
which produces epidemic disease. They
have not vet discovered IT, and scarcely any
two Of them agree rs 10 its nature. This Is
of little consequence. II Is sufficient To
know that this poisonous principle exists,
and that safeguard against its insidiOus
influence has been provided. In the spring
and early summer, when fever and ague,
remittent fever, and other periodical dis
eases of that class are prevalent, II is only
necessary to fOrtify the system with Il course
of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters To escape
them. Ifthis precautiOn has been neglected,
which II never ought TO be in any district
liable 10 such viSitutiOiS, and If the parON-
ySms of maiariOuS fever have actually COM
mcnced, they may always he checked and
broken up by Il course of that powerful veg
etable tonic and Alternative. Quininc was
once considered the only specific for chillS
and fpypTS: but il is now generally admitted
that this nauSeOuS alkalOid is Il dangerous
medicine, and that its secondary effects are
more to be dreaded than any form of inter-
mittent fever. 1t is simply tremendous
aStringcnt Itdocs not touch the diSordered
liver or regulate the bowels, or III any way
improve the condition OF the animal nuldS.
HoStetter's BitterS, on the other hand, III
addition 10 being better and safer tonic
than any preparation ofquinine has bal
Samic effect upon the whole system. 1t Is
aperient and ambitious, aS well rs directly
invigorating, and purities the secretions as
well rs regulates the sccretiVe organs. 1t
stimulates the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, soothes the nerves, promotes
healthful perspiration, and induces quiet
sleep. Asa stomachici II has no rival. Cases
OF indigestion that no other tonic seems
capable Of alternating, are cured in II few
weeks by its regular use.

The Man that Wouldn't be Han ged.

From lie Nord, of Brussels.
The following incident has happened
at Flessingue, in Holland;
A wife, exasperated by the continual
drunkenness of her husband, threatened
him with death. Some days ago she
attempted to put this threat into execu-
ton. To this she assembled, made n
hole in the floor, and passed rope
through it, one end of which fell into
the room below, while the other re-
manned fastened in the attic. She then
descended, made a slipnot in the rope,
and awaited her husbands return. lie

ed to receive no reproacheS on his bad
conduct.

TnE news from Spain Is important.
The political inrerrcgnum is probably
drawing to close. Great Impotence
is being manifested bv the Madrid press
at the prolongation Of the provisional
form of government. and the agitation
in political circles is increasing. The
effect of this is evident upon the party
leaders. The Regent, SEGRANo, is con
strained to say that he Is willing Ia
accent republic if General PRIM will
agrec to it. New candidates for the
throne are canvassed, but the Madrid
Epoca pretends to have positive inior-
nation that Prince FREDERICK of Prus-
sia i to hc the candidate of the Ministry.
The Prince is a kinsman Of the rei@nlng
house at Berlin, hut, unlike it, is a
Catholic in religion. He is 90 years
old, has seen lifetime of military ser
vice. has been married twice, and is
now dicmcee, and lives on his estates
in Silesia. 1t Is said that the Emperor
NAPOLEON has declared to Senior ono
zAGA, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris,
that il FREDERICK is chosen the conse-
qucnces may be grave enough TO bring
about a war between France and

Wonan,s Rights.

The agitation of woman's rights is
attracting good deal of attention in
England as well as in this country, but
the decided tone of the leading English
press will no doubt give the heresy its
quietus. The tendency of the present
age seems to be to great immoral, in
stead of to great moral ideas" as main
tanned by strong-minded women and
corrupt politicians The London Times
says:
I'm few words, when the women OF
modern times ask for rights they have
reason on their side, but the rights are
wrongly stated-a woman's best rlght
is the right to a natural protector nus
band and that would carry the rest
along with it.
The London Morning Post says:
II NAV also be possible to open to
them (women) some more profitable
fields of industry than they now have,
but nature has defined their position in
society too clearly and has given them too
important a part to play in life to allow
us TO confound rights which belong to
them with others which do not without
lowering them and lessening their
proper influence.
The London Standard says:
We invite the women to consider the
matter in their own interest. We put
it to them, as wives anxious for the
fidelity of their husbands, as splnsters
expectant to become wives, whether
such a reform as Miss Helen Taylor
advocates political privileges would be
calculated for the good of their sex
The London Telegraph says:
Are we TO see great minded, high
souled, pure Tipped women degraded in
some similar way by shouting in our
market places and polling booths the
silly shibboleths Of an electoral mob =?
The London Spectator says:
But nobody attempted Cat recent
meeting) to show that the mass of
women will at once bring fairly steady
and disinterested political minds to
bear on the use OF the suffrage or that
they will not add a great multitude 10
the vendors of votes.
Some of the other English papers
argue that there is 10 more natural
right for woman to vote than for her
being a soldier; Others point with scorn
to the coarse viragoes' Of the Amerl-
can women's suffrage movement, and
others still claim that ,the same argu-
ment, that gives voting as right to
woman will give it TO all minors. In
this country We think the tendency OF
public sentiment is decidedly against
woman's suffrage; but really We cannot
understand how those who are the
champions of negro suffrage can refuse
to advocate woman's, unless they have a
higher appreciation of the virtues and
intelligence of the negro than they have
nf their wives and daughters.

THE Richmond Theatre DESTROYED
bv fire on the Doth day of December,
1911. The number of persons con
sumed was sixty-cight-more than the
number killed and MORALLY wounded
in the terrible disaster of Wednesday

wounded by the fire was large, hut not

disaster. Among the killed at the
fire were GEORGE W SMITH, Governor
of Virginia, and several gentlemen and
ladies belonging to the first families of
the State. Governor Walker made a
narrow escape in this disaster, while
some of the first men of the State were
killed and wounded The number of
persons estimated to have been present
