the arrival at Wells, yesterday, OF the emil

belief that the man was demented, aud
Deputy Sheriff Weeks followed and
brought the man back. He did not seem
to be insane, but had the appearance Of
one in deep trouble. The train proceeded,
the stranger saying he would wait for the

when within 20 feet Of the water tank the
stranger referred to suddenly sprang for

directly in front of the drivers. which cut
him in two just above the hips. The man
was evidently insane, and his shocking
death is alone ascribed to that calamity.
On his person was found S145 in money,
a ticket for passage from San Jose to New
York, and papers which showed he was q
Frenchman. He was a tailor by trade and
his name was Paul Tichsrd. He also had

OLD STYLE AND NEW STYLE
Washington's Birthday.

The truth of history is that George
Washington was born February II,
1882, according to the Julian ta,tn-
dar, or old style, then in vogue in
England and her colonies. Julius
Cesar, after whom the Julian year is
called, had settled bisseXtie or leap
year by aiding one day to February
every fourth year to account for four
times five hours, forty-eight minutes
forty-eight seconds, which would
otherwise be left out, in addition to
the 365 days composing the solar or
tropical year and comprising the
time measured by the apparent COM
pletc revolution Of the sun in the
heavens from either equinox to the
same again. But it was found that
the time of the equinoXcs and seasons
after lapse of 30 years would hap
pen rather more than one day earlier
than they did l20 years before; and
would, Of course, in process of time,
diStroy the correspondence IF the sea-
sons with the montlrand days of the
year. The system thus settled was
in common use till 1882, when Pope
Gregory XIII, finding that the time
Of the vernal equinox had fallen back
about ten days earlier than the 2lst
on March, ordered ten days to be
stricken out of that year, so as to
make the vcrnal equinox fall on the
same day TO correspond with that of
the council at Nice, held in the year
325 of the Christian era. Therefore
the Pope caused ten days to be taken
out of the mouth of October 1882,
to make the equinox fall on the 2lst
of March, as it did in the time of that
council. Although the Gregorian
calendar or new style had long been
used through the greater part of Eu-
rope, il was not adopted in great
Britain and America until the first
Of January, 1852, and in the Scptcm-
ber following the eleven days were
adjusted by calling the Bird day of
that month the 14th, and continuing
the rest in this order So in the case
Of Washington, eleven days were
dropped ont and the date of his birth

MAN MILLINERS.

Man milliners have been regarded in
Paris the proper persons to arrange how
women should be dressed for more than O
dozen years. Grenville Murray, in his
latest Ground About France" paper,
says that while there may be female
modistes quite as tasteful as the man
milliners, the man milliners do not think
30; it is they who originate the fashions
which modistes do no more than copy,
and theirs is the undoubted faculty L" Of
charging double what they would vent
ure to do were they women" He re.
lates that there is great artist in mill
inery, who shall be nameless, but whose
reputation is world wide, who twill not
condescend to work for everybody who
comes beseechingly to his warehouse. "
He affirms that his artistic self-esteem
will not allow him to dress q lady
who would not be likely to do full justice
to his brilliant conceptions. A lady
once admitted into the happy circle of
this mans patrons, he "scans her with
the eye of inspiration" and decides off
hand what he wishes her to wear. Her
own choice in the matter is not con-
suited. When q lady has given many
and cogent proofs of knowing what
styles and colors are best suited to her
face and figure, then and not till then
does he deign to receive her orders,
Ladies who rule their own households
with q firm hand "are as mild as
cherubs in the presence of the Olymp-
ian milliner." He is cold and peremp-
tory, but, to do him justice, he is not
overbearing. Strolling about his So
looms, with a notebook and gold pencil
in his hands, che stops to bow court
eously to customers who enter, and
sither passes them on with wave of the
hand toward the trying-on rooms, OF
else retires with them to small mirrored
chambers, where the mysteries of the
new toilets are discussed"
