WRy the Year 1900 Will Net
BE n Leap Wear.

Tho following explanation will
show you why The year 1900 will
not be counted among leap years:
The year is 865 days, 5 hours and
46 minutes long: IL minutes are Ia
ken every year $685. long, and every
fourth year we have an extra day.
This was Julius Caesars arrange.
ment, as l explained in Notes for
the Curionsn'in the Republic IF Ans
gust q. You may ask: Where do
these II minutes come from?' They
cone from the future, and are paid
by emitting leap year every 100
years. But if leap year is omitted
regularly every one hundred years
it is fo6nd that the II minutes ia
ken each year will not only have
been paid bach but that awhole day
will have been given up. So Pope
Gregory Kill, who improved on
Caesars calender in 1882, deereed
that every c%enturial year divisibIe
BY four should be leap year after all.
So we borrow Il minutes each year
more than paying our borrowing
back BY emitting three leap years ii
three centurial years and square
matters by haYing a leap year in the
fourth centurial year. Pope Gregg
rvs arrangement is go exact and the
borrowing and paying back balanc-
ed SO nicely, that we borrow more
than Ns pay back to the extent Of
only one day in $500 ycars.-Ex.

The Homer Guardian. discus
sing the criminal laws Of the States
says:
Whenever an accused person,
whom the public condemns as guilty,
is discharged by the jury and per,
mitted to ehjoy his liberties again,
the people at once begin to abuse
our system of laws and demand more
legislation. This is wrong. The
fault is not in the law, but lies with
those who are vested with the res
possibility Of administering it. So
10 those cases where the guilty is
turned loose the jury is to blame
aud there is no fault in the law.
The people should be reformed,
amended and revised, not the laws.
It is generally believed, and that
too, by men Of Intelligence. that no
one is a competent juror who has
heard about the facts or who has
formed an opinion Of the case. This
IS not the case. If SO, the best and
most intelligent men Of the country
would practically be exempt from
jury service, since they read the pa
pers and keep ~conversapt with the
doings and happenings of the coun-
try. It is only in those cases where
the juror has an opinion so strongly
fixed as to make it impossible for
him to yield to the evidence adduc.
ed on trial, that he is rendered in
competent. Upon The whole, We
think there arc very few changes
either in the jury law OF the statutes
at large which shoaldbe Eamended.
Too much legislation is an evil. and
it is exceedingly dangerous 10 be
frequently tampering with the laws
of a Stately legislative amendments.
