The Origin of Leap Year.

A correspondent Of the New York
World thus writes as to the origin Of
Leap Year:
"Tbe custom observed every fourth
year OF permitting the fairer sex to as
sumo the rights and prerogatives apper-
tanning to their brothers during the re-
naming three Is very ancient one.
When 1t originated 10 not definitely
known, but law enacted by the parlia-
ment Of Scotland In the year 1888 is
doubtless the first statutory recognition
Of the custom. The law was as follows:
at Is statut and ordsint that during the
refine OF Her Maist Blissit Megestie, Tx

"WhO can say, in the face Of such tes-
tlmOny, that the rights of woman have
ever been disregsrded!"

that there has been considerable fraud

ment have been defrauded of large
amount annually and strong efforts have
been made BY the government to stop
these frauds. During the last session OF
congress $lCo,OC0 wss appropriated for
the purpose Of securing extra postoffice
inspectors, and providing for incidental
expense necessary for the work. As Q
result, many OF these frauds
have been deteotsd and stopped,
the fraudulent postmasters punished,
and large amount Of money recovered
from the bondsmen.
