why 1900 ia uet 4 Leap Year.

The year 1900, although it is divisi-
bic by four without remainder, is not
a leap year, and it comes about in this
way: Under the 'sJulian period" the
solar year was considered to consist of
three hundred and siXty-fve days and a
quarter Of day, but as the actual or
civil year could not be made to include
quarter of a day, an additional day
WAS inserted in the calendar every
fourth year to make up for four lost
quarters, and this is the 29th of Feb
ruary. But the Julian method of inter-
caIlation made the year too long by
eleven minutes, ten and one-third sec
onds. This put the calendar ahead of
solar time one day in 1923 years; so to
balance this in the adjustment Of tie
calendar known as the "Grcg0rian''
after Pope Gregory the NH, ROW uni
VersalIy adopted in Christian countries
except Russia, one of the leap Years is |
dropped at the close of every century. |
except when the figures of the centuriul |
year, leaving out the two cypheYs at the
END, can be divided by four without a
Thus 1000 was q leap year,
and 2000 will be, but 1900, 1900 and
1909 are not.

secrets of Newspaper Men.

Says the Toledo Telegram There is
probably no newspaper man of ex-
perience in the country who does not
hold secrets of Importance in his mind
which, if made public, would create a
sensation, but would stamp him as be-
ing unreliable, and consequently unfit
for his profession. The great race for
precedence in the publication of news
impels him to do his utmost to outstrip
his contemporaries but a higher feel
ing, the dictates of honor, keeps sacred
the trusts imposed. Frequently a per
son would like to know the authorship
OF certain matter published, and
whether his efforts are directed to
the managing editor or the
golley-boy, they are alike fruitless.
Every compositor on a paper, as rule,
knows the handwriting he sets up bat
If any other persons think they can
learn it from him-Wel!, let them try It.

The Water Blockade.

Reports from up the road are to the
effect that 10 trains can get over the
track frCn, Eaileck 10 Wells for several
da,s. There are washouts along the
rosa daily but they are repaired atnight
when ihe water goes down. The great
troI1.c is between HaIleck and Wells,
G.. the Humboldt, where the road is
submerged for miles. The river has
overlooked the whole valley, and for
mics ilIere is an unbrOken sheet Of
water. The track is from one to four
feet under water for miles at a stretch,
ana trains cannot pass over it until the
river subsidies. The snow, which was
very doep in the foothills, near the head
of the Humboldt, meats rapidly these
warm days, flooding the whole upper
country. Nothing to compare with the
the present high water has been ex-
perienced since the road was built. In
1870 travel was interrupted for few
days by high water where the track is
now submerged, but that was nearly
two months later in the year.-Siircy

TIE REFORM sCuooL.
It's Present Condition and What Addi-
tioiinl Facilities It Requires.

Tvs IfcteIV nnu w AuNl-
tionnl Facilities It Requires.
The letter of the attorney general to con-
grcss in reference to the necessity of certain
buildings and improvements at the reform
school should receive prompt attention. This
school has now been in existence for about
fifteen years and it has reclaimed hundreds of
boys and made them good and respectable
citizens. Its source of revenue has been from
the general government and from the district.
1t has been the aim of the board of trustees to
make the farm and workshop yield revenue
with which to make current necessary re-
pairs For n long time the farm barely
yielded sufficient vegetables to feed the large
family of boys, but with increased facilities
aud new methods of management it is believed
that larger crops can be produced and better
results attained. There are now about one
hundred and fifty boys inmates of this school,
and the only division that can be made, owing
TO the limited accommodations, is the Scpara-
tion of the whites from the blacks. With the
addition to the main building asked for, there
can then be still further separation of the
older from the younger boys. This is of course
desirable, and will improve the morals all. The
building used MS n barn or stable for so long
is found to be inadequate to the requirements
of the institution and Il new and more COM
modious one is needed. The want of a chapel
has been long felt for, as one of the officers
justly remarked, that i'll reformatory insti-
tuition of this kind certain amount of res
ligious teaching exercises u wholesome influ
enco over the minds of the youth, and if these
religious services are conducted in the school
room which they daily occupy they are
not near so impressive or effective as if
held in building especially erected for
that purpose. There is sanctity
about II church or chapel which
induces religious sentiment and feeling, es-
pecially in the young, where the exercises
would fail of effect if conducted in a school
room with which they were daily familiar
The trustees of this reform school are all men
who take Il deep interest in its prosperity and
in the welfare of the boys who are placed un-
der its care, and they are gratifcd that the
attorney general recognized the needs of the
institution, and has recommended the
necessary appropriations. In this in
stance Mr. Brewster speaks from
thorough knowledge of the facts,
for he has himself visited the institution and
examined its conduct and its condition. If
members of congress could or would take the
time to drive out to the reform school and go
through its various departments they would
be thoroughly convinced of its value in the
community and its need for additional facili-
ties and accommodations.

A New Night Lodging House.

1t was mentioned some days ago in THE
REPUBLICAN that it was the intention of the
Night Lodging House association to purchase
building and that committee had been ap-
pointed for that purpose. 1t is now ascer-
tanned that the large brick building on
Twelfth street, just south of the avenue and
next to the new police station, has been
selected and purchased at cost of $4,000,
which is decidedly reasonable sum- Certain
repairs and alterations will at once be made
and the house will then be open for the, re-
ception of inmates. The management are
confident that they can raise the money for
this house, for this charity, which is one of
the simplest in our midst, has host of friends
who appreciate the excellent service it has
done in the past.

Who-Each with His Own Pet scheme

There have always been quacks-legal quacks, theo-
logical quacks scientific quacks, and medical quacks.
Some of them bland oily fellows, who argue and
smile the world into believing in their favorte bit of
sites, But they make it pay. Men seem to love to be
swindod spulating only that it shall be neatly done
The dear public equally liberal to the electric
and magnetic fraud. This fellow is genius in his
line He will put magnetic belt around your waist
a magnetic necklace under your chin, ht you out
with entire suit of magnetic clothes warranted to
serve the purpose of ordinary garments, and at the
same time TO all Diseases from whooping cough
to hasty consumption.
Most ofthese have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in wooden blankets
in grdles ofsackcloth. Only when applied by an:ex-
pert is electricity of the slightest use as medicinal
agent and then its value is grossly oversated.
What is the strongest possible presumptive evidence
in favor of particular remedy? Clearly that should
have been prepared by responsible persons of ac.
knowledged skill in the treatment of disease.

procured the assistance of two police
