what Free Wool would neen.
Courier Journal.


Free wool would mean cheaper and bet
ter clothing, warmer bedding, better carpets
for the people. 1t is the greatest boon
that can be conferred on an industrious
nation. The tax on wool, which is a tax
on health, on comfort, on the vigor of the
nation, is as much a barbarism as would
be tax on food, on water or on air and
light.
Nor woDld a reduction or q repeal of
the tax work any peculiar hardship
to the wool grower. It would lead to a
vast expansion OF our wooden industries.
1t would open the markets of the world
to our manufacturers. They would per-
haps have to change their machinery
somewhat, as the grower weuld change his
breed Of sheep, but the result would be
vast increase in the demand, for wool the
world over. new impetus, and healthy
impetus, would be given to WOOL
growing. By carefully selecting the
sheep adapted to his land, his climate
and his market, the American grower
would soon fnd that the evils predicted
from free wool wers largely imaginary,
and that they were nothing compared to
the benefits derived from cheaper clothing,
from warmer blankets, from freeing the
wooden goods from large part OF their
cotton miZtures

IAN Ola Reader wants us to explain to
him the origin Of leap year" and this, the
Goth day Of February, furnishes q fitting
occasion therefor. This curious and some.
what crooked earth occupies S65 days, FIVE
hours and fraction in spinning around
the sun--tbat is, in completing it's yeaz
But the old calendars fixed tAe year at 800
days. and so kept constantly running
behind. The difference Is now some
twelve days, and Russia, for exam pie,
which still clings.to the ord calendar, is
that much behind the rest of the world
in her dates. The Gregorisn calendar,
now followed by all Christian nations
save Russia, set out TO remedy this evil by
making each fourth year (leap year consist
of $3.50 days instead of S65. This, on the
other hand, goes q trifie too much the other
way, and this is sought to be remedied by
emitting the extra day on the centennial
years. This is so nearly an accurate adj
justment that the error will have amounted
to only one day, and exactly one day, In
the year 5000 A. D., which must be made q
leap year to set the thing perfectly right.
To sum up: Every year divislble by four
is q leap year, save the centennial year.
None of the latter will be leap years until
we come to 1900, which will be one. LIST
