Leap Year.

1t is the popular belief that this entire
year of grace, called,in the calendar, 1876,
is, from its birthtime in this joyial Janu-
airy, until its death in dim December, emit
tied to the appellation of leap year. Now,
although matter general, and not per-
sonal, we have deemed it our duty to post
ourselves upon this sweetheart subject for
the benefit of all our readers whom it NAV
concern, and in so doing We have found
that leap year proper does not commence
until the 2Sth of February 1t is so called
because it leaps over day more than a
common year; thus 10 common years there
are 365 days-in leap year 366. Away
back in times gone by we have abundant
authority tor the statement that the old
Saxon code enacted as follows: albeit,
as often as leap yearre occurred, the
woman holdeth prerogative over the

matrimonie; 50 that when the lady propo-
seth 1t shall not be for tie MEME to say

anything we would that women improve
each shining and twilight hour, for of all
sad words of tongue or pen the sadsst are

we might mention that if it had not been
for the early help of woman there would
be living but very few boastfu heroes. 1t
is asserted that during leap year more
bachelors perpetrate matrlmony than in
any OF the intervening three-and for this
desperate tendency an immense number
of rational reasons have been assigned

Look to your Lamps,

Who have recently noticed in the scien-
tifc journals and other newspapers, long
and labored articles on the causes of ker-
osene lamp explosions. A few general
principles, however, cover the whole case.
and these can be compressed in few
lines. In the first place. it is NOT the OIL
that explodes, but the gas that forms in
the lamp, above the oil. From this it
follows that full lamp never yet ex.
ploded. The nearer empty lamp is
the least oil and the more gas there is in il;
the greater the danger of explosion
The 'shiftlessness' which leaves lamp
to burn two or three evenings and become
nearly empty before refiling, is pretty
sure to bring its own punishment, some
time.
But supposlng the gas to have acumu-
lated in the oil-chamber-the sole cause
OF explosion is the communication of a
flash of flame thereto This is generally
done down the tube in which the wick
works. This may occur from blowing down
the chimney to extiDguish the lamp; from
sudden puff of air through an open door
or window: from being taken into an en-
try or other place where there is a draft
of air; from being suddenly raised or
suddenly set down. or from any other
cause by which a fash of fame is sent
down the tube The un-wished for result
lis largely facilitated by using wick
too small for the burner, thus leaving
considerable space betweent the two through
which the fame can conveniently com
muniate to the gas below. A lamp with a
loose wick, left untitled for two or three
evenings until fine supply of gas has ac
cumulated, land the gas accumulates fast
est, because not drawn up through the
wisk and consumed, during all those hours
OF the night and day when the lamp is not
burning) will explode thousand times
while lamp with moderately tight-ftting
wick, filled every evening, will not explode
once. Outside Of these calculations. of
course. are those cases where idiots ell
lamps or draw oil with the blaze of another
lamp 10 close proximity, or use kerosene to
klndle fires with. Such persons. if arrived
at years of discretion, If blown up or
burnt up,will receive little sympathy from
the community atlarge, being simply the
victims OF their own cOnSummate ana un-
