upon Professor Elliott Waldo Sulli-

a few minutes more the streets and

were crowded by Bostonians slowly

Ladies' Leap-Year Law.
They Haye the Privilege of ''Making
Love Unto the Men,"

Thomas j. Bowditch writes in the
Troy IN. W Times:
1t is said that, in work entitled
"Courtship, Love and Matrimony,''
published in 1906, ten years before
the death of Shakespeare, is this
explanation regarding ladies' privi-
leges in leap-year;
"Albeit, it is nowe become a part
of the common lave, in regarde to
social relations of life, that as often
as every bissextile year doth return,
the ladyes have the sole privilege,
during the time ii continueth, of
making love unto the men, which
they do, either by wordes or lookes,
rs to them it seemeth proper; and,
moreover, no man will be entitled
to benefit of clergy who dothe in
any wise treate her proposal with
slight or contumely."
This quotation is give by a corre-
spondent of "Notes and Queries"
but there are some words in it
which were scarcely in common
use in Shakespeare's time.
"Social relations of life" is COM
paratively modern phrase; and
though the word "relations" is used
once by Shakespeare, "social" never
was. Oddly enough, "contumely,"
though not given in"Ascough's Con-
cordance," occurs in "the proud
mans contumely," which is put in
to one of Hamlets most thoghtful
soliloquies.
The following is the statute in the
old Saxon code referring to leap
year:
"Albeit, as often as leape yearre
dothe occure, the woman holdeth
prerogative over the MEME in mat
ters of courtships, love and matri-
monte; so that, when the lady pro-
poseth, it shall not be lawful for the
man to say her nae, but shall enter
taine her proposell in all guide cur
tesie."
A Scotch statut of 1923 read as
follows:
"It is statut and ordaint that
durin the refine of her maist blessit
majestic, ilk forth year, known as
leap-year, ilk maiden layde of
bath high and low estait shall have
liberty to bespeak We man she likes,
albyit, if he refuses to take her to
be wifi, he shall be mulcted in the
sum of one pound (fl) or less, as
his estait may be, except and avis
If he can make it appear that he is
betrothed to one woman, and then
he shall be Free"
Leap-year naturally makes us
think Of marriage, and we hope all
the young ladies and widows will
be bold enough to "pop the ques-
tiOn," and do it without blushing or
stammering. Now is your oppor-
tunity.

The Wonderful Philatelic Collection of .
Philadelphia Merchant.
A Philadelphia has collected. sorted
and filed away enough cancelled postage
stamps to reach, if placed side by side,
from the Delaware river to Cobb's
creek, the extreme western boundary
of the city. In this extraordinary col
lection there are 1.000,000 stamps.
These stamps, if used as wall paper,
would be sufficient to cover the walls
of a medium sized city house, and if
spread over a space one yard wide
would reach nearly 800 yards. The
patient collector of this million of little
bits of engraved paper is Paul Des
Oranges. retired merchant. who be-
gan the task February 6, 1892. Mr..
Des Oranges says of his work: The
plan adopted for the preservation and
actual counting of the stamps was to
remove them from any adherent paper
by soaking in water, and after drying,
to lie in packages of 100; these were
then made into bundles of LOCO; then

Facts About Razors.

"The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Da-
mascus blades can not equal them in
texture" says an English exchange.
at is not generally known that the
grain OF a Swedish razor is so sensi-
tive that its general direction is
changed after short service. When
you buy a fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end Of the outer point
in a diagonal direction towards the
handle. Constant stropping will twist
the steel until the grain appears to sci
straight up and down. Subsequent
use will drag the grain Oatward from
the edge. so that after steady use for
several months the fiber of the stee.
occupies position exactly the reverse
of that which appeared on the day Of
the purchase. The process also affect;
the temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer end
towards the back you have a tool
which can not be kept in condition by
the most conscientious barber. But
here's another freak of nature. Leave
the razor alone for month, and when
you take it up you will find the grain
has resumed its first position. This op-
Grafton can be repeated until the steel

THE Cherokees have failed TO
re-let their grass lease, after a tus-
sic through two sessions of their
council. This may be the result Of
partisan politics and an unhealthy
state of their public affairs, but we
do not so construe it, 1t is very
evident that the Cherokees are now
in position to realize 1915 600 more
than they got for their former
lease. A bill accepting this bid
was passed by the council on the
day Of its adjournment, which is
resting in the hands Of the chief,
awaiting his signature or a third
veto. Should he decide to adhere
to the latter course his objections
cannot be presented until the meet
ing of the council in November,
one month after the expiration Of
the present lease. At this point
the chief will have to assume some
weighty responsibilities should he
withhold his signature from the
bill, which, however, may result
in financial gain to the Cherokee
people. as has his former action in
this matter. At all events, thus
far we cannot regard tho efforts of
the Cherokee authorities on the
lease question in any sense as a
failure They still hold the age,
and none but cattle men are
squealing.-hdian Journal.
