FIVE SUNDAYS N EEBRUARY.-In
the month of February this year there
were five Sundays something that will
not occur again for forty years. The
months containing five Sundays recur in
regular order every 400 years The
order is as follows Three times with
intervals Of % years each. aad then
comes one after an interval of 40 years:
then two with intervals of % years each.
and then comes one after an interval OF
40 years: then two other intervals Of p
years each. and then there is an interval
OF 20 years before another such year.
This is followed 10y three intervals of 2S
years each. This viii occupy 400 years.
and then the same order will come round
again. The following are the years that
have had and viii have five Sundays in
February during the present period of
400 wears : 1904. 1892, 1860. 1858, 172S,
1T57. 1884, 1924. 1892, 1880. 1920. 194S.
1876. 2O04. The following are the con-
ditiops necessary in order that five Sun
days may happen in February: First.
the year must be a leap year second.
the first of January must fall on Thurs
day. In short. the year must have the
Dominica letters j. c. Julius Caesar.
or rather the Egyptian astronomer, Sos
igenes, considered the year as containing
365t days: as this was too long by more
than IL minutes, and as the error had
increased to mOIe than 10 days in the
10th century. Pope Gregory Mi made
4 new rule for leap years. viz. : Leap
years are. first. those whose numbers are
exactly divisible by + and not 100; Sc
cond. those whose numbers are divisible
10y 400 and not by 1000.

How SATIN WAS DISCOVERED The
word ''satin." which originally was ap-
piled to all silk stuffS in general. has
since the last century been used to des-
ignate only tissues which present only a
lUs,ered surface. The discovery of this
particularly brilliant stuff was accident

Reyjelr, pacing to and fro before his
loom. Every time he passed The ma
chino, with no definite object in view,
he pulled little threads from the warp
and put them into his mouth, which
soon after he spat out. Later on he
found the little ball of silk on his work
shopS floor, and was attracted by the
brilliant appearance of the threads. He
repeated the experiment, and, by using
heat and certain mucilaginOus prepara-
tions, succeeded in giving new lustre to
his tissue.

two Irishmen, near Verdi, started in TO
whip him one night, bat concluded to
give up the contract, as he grasped one
i'm each hand and beat them together
until the life was nearly hammered out
of them. Many other tales ore told of
his extraordinary strength, and there
can be no doubt that, in his particular
specially, ne is unrivaled, and, indeed, a
lttSi,s nature, when the peculiarities of
his physical makeup and his almost
imitleSs power are considered. He
states that his father could strike a
blow equal in power to LOCO pounds: so
that his strength seems a direct inheri-
tance. Cardela has not much education
and an imperfect knowledge of English.
He dislikes to show his strength and
fails to realize his own value. If he
were to give public exhibitions of his
wonderful powers he would doubtless
be recognized and acknowledged to be
the most powerful man in the world in
certain lines of strength.

 NEW YORK, Aug 9.-Dr. Tanners phe- nomenal stomach is now the subject of intense interest among scientific and medical men, and as he continues to bolt almost every va- riety of food at will and at all hours, with no perceptible injurious results the wonder in- creases. During the afternoon the servants at Dr. Gunn's, where the great faster still is stopping, were kept busy by the incessant ringing of visitors. Many were only curious callers, but the majority were physicians and others who, from the commencement, have taken an interest in the experiment. In al- most every instance the doctor refused to see his visitors, who made many inquiries Of the servants concerning his condition and diet. The doctor went to bed last evening at S:30, after eating almost everything he could, and slept until 2:1O this morning. When he awoke he said he would like little Hunga- rian wine, when two ounces were given him, which he tossed off with gusto, and five min utes later was sound asleep. He awoke again at half-past o'clock and called for milk, six ounces of which were given him At twenty minutes past he called for beef steak and wine. He ate four ounces of steak, swallowing the fibre, and quenched his thirst with two and half ounces more of Hungari- an wine which he greatly likes. An hour later he astonished Dr. Wark, who had been on duty since midnight, by calling for eggs. He said he did not care in what shape they were. fried or hard or soft boiled Two fresh eggs, soft boiled, were set before him and at once disappeared. He then expressed a de- sire for potatoes stewed in milk, which when prepared followed the eggs with amazing ra-

 Assai1ants ina Custody-Another Victim
 of the Attack.
 DUBLIN, Aug 9.-The murderous attack at Newross yesterday upon MT. Boyd and his two sons continues to be the sole topic of discussion to-day. Mir. Boyd was Grown solicitor of Tipperary, and it was understood that he had been preparing for the issue of a number of writs of ejectment against tenants of the neighborhood. He and his two sons were attacked at Newross by a body of dis guised men, eleven of whom are now in cus- tody. One of his sons was killed, and the other was so severely wounded that he ex- pired to-day. Mir. Boyd himself was severe ly wounded, and his life is considered to be in danger. The attack was altogether an agrarian outrage. Three of the arrested per sons have been identified as tenants upon whom writs of eviction had been served It is said. however, that the Grown will find it difficult to prove that the arrested parties were participants in the murderous attack All the assailants were thoroughly disguised, and the eleven persons who were arrested had time to throw off their disguises and to appear as if they were pursuing their ordi- nary occupations. The affair has caused great excitement here and throughout Tipperary.

 Advices received from Candahar up to Fri day night state that Ayoob Khan's army was within sight.

Nothing is known of the reported fall of Chaman, the latest news from that place being down to July 18th.
 dispatch from Bombay says there are large gatherings of the tribesmen between Khohkjak and Candahar. The natives report that Ayoob Khan has 10000 men encamped at Argandak, but that dissensions are rife General Roberts has ordered forbearance by his troops on their march to Candahar.
