A Missionary 80 v..ars.

TYLER.-News was received on Mon
day of the death at Natal, South Afri-
ca, Nov. II, of Mrs. Josiah Tyler, for
80 years n missionary among the Zu-
lus, and the mother of VIM. G.. and
Nellie Tyler of this place. Mrs. Tyler
was born in Northampton, Mass, and
in IS49, immediately after her mar
riage, went to South Africa with her
husband as missionary of the Ameri-
can board where they have since been
located. Mrs. Tyler had been in poor
health some months and daughter,
Martha, living in this place, was cabled
for in the fall and Immediately started
on the long journey, but WIS not ex-
pecting to reach there until about Dec.
1st. Mrs. Tyler left husband, two
daughters in Africa-Mrs. Mary Tyler
Gray, we'll known here, and Susie, al
so educated in this country-Wm. c.
and Nellie Tyler of this place, and
Martha, who doubtless reached Natal
after her mothers death. The Natal
Mercury, In noticing Mrs. Tyler's
death, says she was possessed of the
most estimable qualities, and was
greatly beloved and revered by large
circle of friends in Natal. She haG
beautifed the Christian calling in a
way rarely exemplified by our poor
humanity. At the funeral the entire
service was conducted in the Zulu Ian
guage and the church was filled will
sincere mourning natives some OF
whom had come long distances to pay
their respects to one they had learned
to love through the love of the Savior
which had been taught them by hel
whose lips were now silent. The
Mercury adds: at may truthfully be
said that the grave has not closed in
Natal over one who led a purer, gen
tier, and more useful Christian life."

WIZ the Year 1900 VIII Not be Counted
Among the Leap Years.

The year is 365 days, hours and 40
minutes long; eleven minutes are taken
every year to make the year 305 IA
days long, and every fourth year wo
have an extra day. This was Juius
Caesars arrangement Where do those
eleven minutes come fromg They come
from the future, and are paid back by
emitting leap year every 100 years.
But II leap year is ommitted regularly
every Tooth year, in the course of 400
ysarsitis found that the eleven minutes
taken each year will not only have
been paid back. but that whole day
will have been given up. So Pope
Gregory Ill, who improved on Cpsar's
calandar in 1882, deereed that every
centurial year divisible by should be
leap year after all. So we borrow
eleven minutes each year, more than
pay our borrowing back by emitting
three leap years in three oenturlal years.
and square matters by having a leap
year in the fourth centurial year.
Pope Gregory's arrangement is so ox-
act. and the borrowing and paying
back balance so closely, that we bor-
row more than we pay back to the ex-
tent Of only one day in 1896 years.

Decay Of Rural New England.

The cultivation of the soil. we have
been taught TO believe, is the true
foundation of national prosperity. II
this theory is correct, the fact is, to say
the least, startling, that the population
of the Hill towns of New England IL
steadily declining and its farming
lands are becoming unkept wilder
nesses. Vast areas in Connecticut
and Massachusetts, formerly covered
with fruitful meadows and grainfelds
are now "unprotitably gay" with ten
acious sumac and odorous fern. The
once cultivated land is occupied by
bush and brake. and the woodman
plies his axe where seventy-five years
ago were heard the ring of the scythe
and the rustic of the sickle.-C Charles
Curr Tobb, in the American Magazine
for April.
