Grandfather Hope stopped his wagon at

toward the post Office by the clerk. Only
toward it, for the train was not yet due, and
Miss Candor wanted four pounds of coffee,
sugar crushed in a great hurry. The letter
was put down on the counter and the
sugar weighed. The clerk pushed the
parcel toward Miss Candor and pushed the
letter with it. There was a wide crack
between the top and the side of the coun.

Other things had slipped down the same
crevice before-penniesa and hairpins, skeins
of silk, and pieces of tape-but no one
knew it. AS for this letter, the clerk never
remembered it again. The postmaster be.

Hope went home and told Hetty that he

sci,hout a remainder. II that Is not leap

TINT your last correspondent " III Us right

There i. no doubt whatever on ibis sub

inst a. well settled IS that February nad
% DAYS this year. Perhaps the nuinsr-
Gus correspondents who have written 10
rs on this subject would be better salts
,sed II we gave the reason why 1900 Is not
TO be a icsp-year. We therefore copy the
following from the american Almanac
EXPLANATION or THE CALENDAR.
The two natural divisions OF time are tue
aay. of "a hours, representing one revoiu'
sion Of the earth on It's axis, and the year,
365 DAYS, approximately representing one
revolution OF the earth around the sun:
The month represents (nesrly) The period OF
the moons revolution round the ear'n
fshout COT days). while the week isspproxF
mately one fourth Of this.
By The Julian Calendar, established oy
Julius Ca,ar, 40 Ii. c., the months were re-
constructed; the Roman year, which began
March 1, and had but ten months, being
changed to January 1,andrwo months added.
Th,rly.on days were given TO the tirst, third,
fifth. seventh, eighth, tenth, aud tweiitn
months, and 80 days each 10 the rest, except
February, which on every fourth year re-
ceIyed 40 iutcrcalary day, made by the
sexfo Cdlendos MortiuS, whence :" leap
yearv came to be called Bissezfhe. AS the
Julian year had 1854 days, its length ex-
ceeded the true solar year by IL minutes IA
seconds, 90 that the equinox in the course
Of centuries fell back several days. TO cor
rect this error, Pope Gregory XIII. in 1882
reformed the calendar by suppressiDg ten
days. restoring the equinox to March 2l.
The Gregorian Calendar also made every
year witch Is diyisible by four without q
remainder leap-year, except the centesi-
nal years, which are only leap-years when
the first two figures are Invisible By four;
thus 1900 wss a leap-year, 17G0, 1900, and
1900 common years, 2000 leap-yea &c.
The length OF the mean year Is 800 days B
hours 40 minutes IL seconds, exceeding the
true solar year nearly 20 seconds, which
error amounts only to one day in 1925
years.
