Good Luck Assured to Japan.
Chicago Tribune.

K. Osoka, a merchant OF Toxic, Japan.
who was at the Palmer Saturday, declares
that Japan will experience nothing but
prosperity this year. This declaration is
based on unique and neyer-faIling sign,
according TO the foreigner. The king of
good luck appeared on our shores" ex-
piained Mr. Osoka, land bis capture Is
worth more than million yens.
"A few weeks ago TIE capture OF strange
hsh at Nigati-ken was reported. Ii re-
sembied tia in many respects. II was six
feet in length, its body was OF bright-red
ico,or with little polka dots scattered about,
and il had long. flowing golden beard.
The beard was two feet in length and as
6ne "a silk. When the fish was landed
crowds from all over the county came to
NiIsaii-Ken TO view the strange sight For
6ays il was n mystery until an old usher
man so years OF age saw II.
..praise the Lord" he exclaimed when
he first saw the bright-colored fish. 1T Is
tha f,,ku-tai. and has not been seen in the
walers of our land for fifty years. FukG-
raj hen trans ated means the tai of hap

General pros perity throughout the land.

In Japan, a great feast was held in

I b,a OF an old family feud. and more
oloodshed IL now looked for. -'''s
Wichita eagle., 1890-01-02

It Is well known that, when Stephenson
predicted that his locomotive would draw a
train of wagons" at the rate Of twelve miles
an hour, there were men of science in Eng
land who declared that no passengers could
travel at such rate Of speed and 'keep their
heads"
A similar prediction, made by the Royal
College of Physicians of Bavaria in 1886, is
now on record in the archives Of the Eurem-
berg and Furth railway in that country.
When il was proposed to build this line, the
physicians Of the country met and formally
protested against it.
"Locomotion BY the aid Of any kind OF
steam machines whatever" the Bavarian
physicians declared, should be prohibited in
the interest of the public health. The rapid
movements cannot fail to produce in the pas
sengers the mental ailment called delirium
furiosum.
EVEN admitting" the protest went on,
shat travellers viii consent TO run the risk, the
state can do no less than protect the hystand
era The sight alone of q locomotive passing
at full speed sutfces to produce this frightful
malady of the brain 1t is at any rate indis-
pensable that barrier at least six feet high
should be erected on both sides Of the track ~
But even the slow going Bavarians Of the
ancient city Of Nuremberg became sccus-
toned in a very short time to the terrible
rushing OF tee railway trains: and SO far
from heing afflicted with delirium furioun,
they smoke their pipes as calmly and
pkIegmatically as ever.-Youths' Companion

why 1900 Is Not a Lean Year.

The following explanation viii show you
why the year 1900 will not be counted among
leap years: The year is Se5 days hours and
40 minutes long; IL minutes are taken every
year TO make the year 3651 days long, and
every fourth year we have an extra day
This was Julius Caesars arrangement Ycu
may ask: Where do these eleven minutes
come fromF They come from the future,
aud are paid by emitting leap year every 100
years. But if leap year is omitted regularly
every 100 years in the course Of 400 years it
is found that the eleven minutes taken each
year will not only have been paid back, but
that whole day will have been given Nd
So Pope Gregory NH, who improved On
Caesars calendar in 1852, decreed that every
central year divisible by four should be q
leap year after al. So we borrow II min
utes each year more than paying our borrow
ings back by emitting three leap years in
three centurial years and square matters by
having lesp year in the fourth osnttlrid
year. Pope Gregory.s arrangement is SO ex-
set and the borrowing and paying back bal
anced so nicely, that we borrow mare than
We pay back TO the extent of only one day in
