Concerning Leap Years.

The following explains why the year
1900 will not be counted among lear
years: The year is 365 days, b hours
and 40 minutes long; IL minutes
aro taken every year to make the
year 965l days long, and every
fourth year we have an extra day.
This was Julius Cnsar's arrange.
ment Where do these II min
utes come from? They come from the
future and are paid by emitting leap
year every 100 years, But If leap year
is omitted regularly every Tooth year,
in the course Of 400 years it Is found
that the II minutes taken each year
will not only have been paid back, bu,
that whole day will have been given
up. So Pope Gregory XIII. who i'm.
proved on CBsar's calendar in 1882,
decreed that every centurial year di.
visible by four should be a leap yeal
after all. So we borrow II minutes
each year, more than paying our Dor.
rowings back by emitting three leal
years in three centurial years and
square matters by having leap yeal
in the fourth centurial year. Pope
Grcgory's arrangement is so exact ant
the borrowing and paying back bal
ance so close that we borrow more
than we pay back to the extent Of onl,
one day in 1896 years. -- Clerelant

Tho Generals Account of How lie Got
His Famous Horse, Rienzi.
Shortly after the affair Captain
Archibald P. Campbell, OF the Second
Michigan Cavalry, presented me with
tho black horse called Rienzi, since
made historical from having been rid
den by me in many battles, conspicu-
ously in the ride from Winchester to
Cedar Creek, which has been celebrat-
ed in the poem by I. Buchanan Read.
This horse was of Morgan stock, ant,
then about three years old. He was
jet black, excepting three white feet,
sixteen hands high and strongly built,
with great powers of endurance. He
was so active that he could cover with
case five miles an hour at his natural
walking gait, The gelding had been
ridden seldom; in fact, Campbell had
been unaccustomed to riding till the
war broke out, and, think, felt some

Campbell had an affection for him,
however, that never waned, and
would often come to my head.

colt being cared for there by the
regimcntal farrier, an old man named
John Ashley, who had taken him in
charge when leaving Michigan, and
had been his groom ever since. Seeing

on many occasions his strength was
severely tested by long marches and
short rations. never observed in him
any vicious habit; a nervousness and
restlcssness and switching of the tail,
when every thing about him WAS In
reposc, being the only indication that
he might be untrustworthy. No one
but novice could be deceived by this,
however, for the intelligence cvinced
in every feature, and his thoroughbred
appearance, were SO striking that any
person accustomed to horses could not

KING SOLOMON AND THE BEES.

When Solomon was reigning in his glory,
Untp his throne the Queen OF Sheba came,
$50 IN the Talmud you may read the stroyl
Drawn by the magic OF the monarch's fame,
To see the spendOFs Of his court; and bring
Some fitting tribute to the mighty KING.
Nor this alone; much had her Highness heard
What flowers of learning gracel the royal
speecK
What gems OF wisdom dropped with every
word;
What wholesome lessons he was wont to
teach
In pleasing proverbs; and she wished in sooth,
TO know II runor spoke the simple truth.
Besides. the Queen had heard (which plqued
her most,
How through the deepest riddles he could
spy;
How all the curious arts that women boast
Were quite transparent to his piercing eye;
And 40 the Queen had come--a royal guest
To put the sage's cunning to the test
And straight she held before the monarch's
view,
In either hand, a radiant wreath of flowers;
The one, bedecked with every charming hue,
Was newly culled from Natures choicest
bowers;
The other, no less fair in every part,
was the rare product of dlvinest art.
(which is the true, and which the falscr' she
said.
Great Solomon was silent. All amazed,
Each wondering courtier shook his puzzled
head.
While at the garlands long the monarch
gazed,
As one who sees miracle and fain.
For very rapture, ne'er would speak again.
(Which is the true?" once more the woman
asked
Pleased at the fond amazemcnt Of the King;
$50 wise head should not be hardly tasked.
Most learned liege, with such trivial
thing"
but still the sage was silent; it was plain
A deepening doubt pcrplcxcd the royal brain.
Whilo thus he pondcred, presently he sees,
Hard by the casement-so the story goes

Hunting for honey in q withered rose.
The monarch smiled, and raised his royal
head;
"Opcn the window What was all he said
The window opened at the Kings command;
Within the room the eager insects few,
Aud sought the flowers in Shebas dexter
And so the King and all the courticrs knew
That wreath was Natures; and the hadlCd
Queen
Returned to tell the wonders she had seen,
My story teaches (every tale should bear
A fttlng moraD that the wise may find
In trifes light as atoms in the air.
