Coming Lcap.Year.

A correspondent writes to inquire if
1900 is leap-year. In Catholic and
Protestant countries the year 1900 will
not be leap-year, they all having adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar. In countries
where the Greek church is established
Russia and Greece), the old Julian
calender still holds, and those coun-
tries will count it a leap-year. After
February, 1900, therefore. the differ
ence between the two calenders, which
is now twelve days, will become thir-.
teen days, and will remain so until
2l00, the year 200O being a aleap-year in
both the Julian and Gregorian calen-
dars. The rule for leap-year may DO
thus stated, according to the Gregori-
an calendar, which differs from tho
Julian only in special treatment Of
century years: All years whose index
number( 1888 is the index number of tho
present year, is divisible by four are
leap-years; unless (l)their index NUM-
ber is divisible by 100 Century years..
In that case they are not leap-years,
unless (2) their index number is divisi.
BILE by 400; in which case they are leap.
years. Thus 100, 1900, 1900 and 2rOO
are not leap-years, while 1000, 20O0
and 2400 are.--N. Y. Critic.

deep? Well, 100 feet's deep enough
for me to work at, and 200 is about the
greatest depth that diver ever work

Horn, where man named Hooper
went down twenty-seven times to this
depth, stayin' one time forty-two min

The Great Pork Spectator.

P. D. Armour is of sturdy Scotch
Presbyterian stock. lie was born in
one of the central counties of New
York, ON n farm among the hills. 1t
was the highest ambition of his boy
hood days to earn money enough to
buy the farm adjoining his fathers.
When the gold fever broke out he was
still mere stripping; but full of
youthful enthusiasm, he started for
California, driving wagon across the
plains and mountains. He remained
there three OF four years, and in that
time saved few thousan d dollars
lie had cash enough to buy that farm
and settle down. He had no sooner
reached home than he experienced a
sudden revulsion Of feeling. The
streets of the village looked narrow,
cramped and dull; the house appeared
mean and dingy. He only remained
on the farm two or three days, and
then betook himself to Cincinnati.
Later ne drifted to Milwaukee, and at
the close of the war he sold great lot
of pork at $40 a barrel, and bought it
again at S1S to Sl9, realizing a profit
of about million. To-day he ranks as
the wealthiest man in Chicago, being
rated by those who know something
of his business at $25,000,000 or $780,
100000. His transactions are colossal.
His firm employs between 5000 and
5000 men, and on his pay rolls are
about fifty men who receive salaries of
$1,000 and over. He Is not yet fifty
dve years Of age

Halfway!

Have you forgotten where we stood
Between the lights, that night Of Spring,
The river rolling to the food,
So sad the birds, they dared not sing'
No love was ever dream'd like this,
Beneath the shadows of the park,
Between whisper and II kiss,
Between the daylight and the dark!
There had been trouble-this was rest;
There had been passion-this was peace;
The sunset dying in the west
Made Nature sigh and whispers cease.
/ only felt what had found,
You only knew what would say;
But nothing broke the peace profound
Between the darkness and the day!
How will it end2 cannot tell;
asked il many months ago,
Before the leaves OF Autumn fell,
And changd TO Winters waste OF snow.
Yet we stand watching at the gate
OF summertime Tor promise-hark!
No love, It's nothing! we must wait
Between the daylight and the dark!

Our ger Iial young friend. Jacob NJ. Musser.
was mar led to one of Meyesdale's fairest
and rich est lasses last Christmas. Last week
he NOV d on his farm. a quarter of q mile
west of Berlin, and the boys" gave him .
grand Sc renade. Jacob and his fair bride
were PREF AIRED for the occasion, and treated
the comps ny to cakes, pies, taffy and tough
sugar. Our boys were highly pleased with
the treat. only some of them with Gne nous
tachss Of first growth were compelled to
shave them off on account of being glued to-
sethsr. They must now raise another crop.
The cos mines along the Buffalo Valley
at present are not worked at half rate ON
account of a large number Of iron manu-
factories shutting down. One year ago there
was not an idle hand in Brothersvalley or
Berlin; at present one can see a lot of min
ers in every store and saloon in Berlin COM
planning of the dizziness of the coal trade.
Last fall, when one told these same miners
that Democratic supremacy meant dull
times, they were ready to knock you down,
but they are realizing their mistake The
other day a miner and life long Democrat
remarked tina. last winter he supported his
family well and wore good clothes besides,
but this winter he could not earn his own
boarding at mining. When he was told the
reason why things are so he said he would
never in his life vote another Democratic
ticket. Those miners who voted the Inde-
pended ticket also see their mistake. 1
think l am safe in saying that there will not
be left as much as a shadow of ~Independ-
entism in Brothersvalley till an other cleo

In the North Amcricdn Rerieac for April,
the scriptural and the legal aspects of Di-
vorce are presented respectively by the Rev.
DIR. Theodore d. Woolsey, well known for
his insistance on the indissolubility of the
marriage tie. and by Judge John A. Jane
son, a jurist whose long experience with di-
vorce cases in Chicago, both on the judicial
bench and at the bar, lends to his observa-
tons a very special value. DIR. p. Bender,
a Canadian who has studied to some pur-
pose the political, social and economic con-
ditions of his country, under the title, "A
Canadian view of Annexation" makes a
forcible presentation of the reasons which
incline many citizens of the Dominion to
regard with favor the idea of absorption by
the United States. Senator John A. Logan
sets forth the need which exists for Ma
tional Aid to Public Schools in the several
States and territories. The Rev. DIR. How
ard Crosby writes of 'The Dangerous
Classes that menace the perpetuity of civil
order and the peace of the community,
meaning the m~anipulators of corporation
stocks and the men who, having amassed
enormous wealth, use it for nefarious pur-
poses. James c.. yelling, President of Co.
lumbar University, treats of Race Educa-
ton the problem that confronts the philo-
sophie statesman. of the presence in our

Nor AFFECTED By AeE.-Sonle old speci-
mems of Royal Baking Powder hat had been
kept on the shelf Of q grocery store for ten
years were recently tested by Prof. Schedler
of New York, for the purpose of measuring
the loss of strength they had undergone.
1t was found that, although the powder had
been exposed to atmospheric changes dur
ing ali this time-for it was not in air-tight
cans-its loss of raising power or strength
was less than one per cent, the powder be-
ing practically as good as the day it was put
up.
This is a most valuable quality in a bak-
ing powder, one which few possess. Most
powders Il not used ghen first made are
found to be ineffective. If kept even q few
weeks they lose their leavening power, be-
come lumpy or caked, and valueless.
This superior keeping quality in the
Royal" arises from the extraordinary care
in its manufacture, and the scientific prin-
ciples employed in its combination. The
articles used in ITS composition are thor
oughly dried by heat before being CON-
pounded, and are so prepared and coated as
TO prevent the acton of the acid upon the
alkili prematurely. or except under the in
fuence of heat or water necessarily used in
cooking or baking.
The Royal is now used extensively in
Australia, Africa. and other low ATTITUDES,
where it has been found t. be the only bak-
ing powder that will withstand the hot,
moist atmosphere without deterioration.

the full moon which comes after the yernai
