The following explanation will show you
why the year 1900 will not be counted
among leap years: The year is 365 days 5
hours and 40 minutes long; II minutes are
taken every year to make the year 1861
days long, and every fourth year We have
an extra day. This was Julius Casar's ar
rangement. You may ask: "Where do
these II minutes come from?'' They come
from the future, and are paid by emitting
leap year every 100 years. But ifleap year
is omitted regularly every 100 years, in
course of 400 years it is found that the
eleven minutes taken each year will not
only have been paid back, but that a whole
day will have been given up. So Pope
Gregory XIII, who improved on Caesars
calendar in 1852, decreed that every cen.
turial year divisable by four should be a
leap year after all. So we borrow eleven
minutes each year, more than paying our
borrowings back by emitting three lear
years in three cepturial years, and square
matters by having a leap year in the fourth
centurial year. Pope Gregory's arrange.
ment is so exact and the borrowing and
paying back balanced so nicely that we
borrow more than vi pay back to the
tent of only one day in ], 1866 years.-S.

HER GRATITUDE.

A w~ell-known man who lives not far
from Newcastle, Me-, told me of an ex-
p~erience he had a few winters since with
a horse of which he was very fond, says a
writer in the Lewiston Journal. He was
driving across Jefferson Pond one after
noon, when the mare went through the ice.
In an instant the sleigh also went under.
The gentleman managed to get out of the
water himself after a valiant struggle,
when, finding himself upon a firm footing,
be turned his attention to the horse. After
a long time the assistance of two men was
secured, and, even then, nearly an hour
elapsed before the poor horse was rescued,
thoroughly chilled and exhausted.
Not far off her owner had a friend who
lived in the OH -fashioned house in which
| listened to the story, a house with a Gel
lar kitchen.
He led the mare straight into this kitch-
en-, where she laid down, gladly enough,
before a big, blazing open fire.
Warm blankets were thrown over the
poor creature, and hot drinks were given
her. Then her owner, pretty well chilled
and tired out himself, passed into a bed
room on the same floor and soon fell asleep.
About midnight he was awakened; he felt
a warm breath upon his face, and 10. the
mare had come into the room to find her
master and thank him, for she fell TO licking
his face gently
Her owner was manly enough to own up
that he was so touched that he cried over
her. Finally he rose, led her back to the
kitchen, threw a big log upon the Goals,
and down lay the intelligent mare, while
her master, silently registering a vow that
the grateful cresture should never pass out
of his hands, returned to his own bed

HOW TO An 1EoLIAN HARP.

Wax a piece of button-aole twist about
two and a half feet long; tie each end
strongly to a small peg, and thrust the
pegs down the crevice between the two
sashes OF your southern or western window,
stretching the silk as tightly as possible.
1t will surprise you to hear the sweetness
and variety of the tones the wind will
bring from it. Having done this,you may
be moved to go furthur and prepare a more
elaborate @olian harp.
Take some quarterback wood and make a
box the length of your windowframe, four
or five inches ieep and six or seven inches
vide. Bore a few small holes in a circle
near what will be the upper side of the
Of the box, when placed in the window
with the open side of the box; fasten
two bridges like violin bridges,
one at each end, and stretch on
them several strings Of fine catgut, con.
irving a series of screw pins to aid in the
tight stretching necessary, and allow o.
their being tuned to one note. Then raise
your sash on the windy side of the house,
and the wind passing through the holes
and over the strings will in rising and fall
ing make very sweet music.
