How Leap Year Beans Grow.

A curious belief about leap year, says
a New York paper, is perhaps not so
well known as the ladies' privilege.
Rustic folk in many parts Of England
firmly believe that in leap year all kinds
Of beans are produced in the pods in the
reverse position TO that which is usual,
or, as an old laborer in Surrey once
phrased it, "in leap year the eye is to the
point, in other years to the strig," that
is, the stalk. There is ample evidence
that in the last bisscxtile, 1888, in many
widely separated parts Of the country,
the beans were observed to be produced
in the pods in this manner, and the
rustic belief that this was caused by the
fact of its being leap year was naturally
strengthened. But by some agriculture
lists the phenomenon was taken to be "A
sign of plenty, and there is no doubt
that beans grow in this manner in other
years than the bissextile; but whenever
the occurrence happens to coincide with
the latter, the superstition is sure to
revive.

army, and these will govern all the con-
tests at Omaha.
The contesting organizations at the
encampment will find in the prizes
promised enough of honor and pecuniary
reward TO act as powerful incentives for

There will be $4,000 in cash prizes.
Half of this amount will be assigned to
the national infantry drill. But the
other branches of the service will not be
neglected by any means. There will
also be prizes for the artillery, Calling
gun and zouave drills, and a sort of
consolation purse" as horsemen would
put it, will be given for the maiden"
infantry.
Two of the crack companies which

the st. Louis Branch Guards. The
former now hold the Galveston semi

career Of the late Paul Dillingham;, ex-

he had a slight limp all the rest Of his

THE CITIZEN SOLDIER
SOON TO DISPLAY HIS SKILL AT
THE OMAHA ENCAMPMENT.

This Is the Centennial Year of American
Militia and the Approaching National
Competitive Drill Has Aroused a Wide
spread Interest.
The approaching encampment of the
National Competitive Drill association,
to be held in Omaha during the week be-
ginning June 10, is but the ripe fruition
Of the idea embodied in the recommen-
dalton made by George Washington af-
ter the close Of the Revolutionary war
to the governors Of the original thirteen
states. The Father Of his Country"
then suggested "the adoption Of prop
er peace establishment, in which care
should be taken TO place the militia
throughout the Union on a proper and
efficient footing"
The United States has since passed
through the general muster day period
into the present national guard system,
until now, as will be evidenced mt the
encampment at Omaha, the militia Of
many of the states Of the Union can fur
nish men who in case of war would not
compare unfavorably with the regular
army organization.

approved set of new drill regulations

LYDIA Il. BYRNES. name famous.
The nicely dressed French baby-beshoed
and bestockinged and bejeweled some
times-has ON numerous occasions fig
ured prominently in voting contests and
on rattle lists at fairs, but it remained for
little Lydia Edna Byrnes, of Brooklyn, a
child not yet four years old, to rescue
the much abused rag dolly from the OBJ
livion to which she has been so long and
so unjustly consigned and make her a
prominent factor in financial circles.
And it all came about in this way:
Lydia owned but one doll, and it was
made of rags, nondescript sort Of baby
with a particularly "open" expression Of
countenance, but evidently lacking in
force Of character and cohesiyeness.
Lydia's father, Rev, Horace w. Byrnes,
is the new pastor Of an old church in
Brooklyn, formerly known as the Cedar
Street Methodist, but now designated as
the Epworth NJ L. church. Mr.. Byrnes
was confronted with the serious task Of
raising the funds necessary for the cree
ton of new church. and one morning
at breakfast discussed the matter with
his good wife, when it was determined
that the work should begin at once.
Little three-year-old Lydia Edna sat at
the table looking as wise N an owl and
evidently cogitating deeply. Then she
offered her baby-the rag dolly-as her
contribution toward the new church.
Every one laughed, said the child was
cute and then thought no more of the
matter.
Not 50, however, with Lydia. When
she went TO church dolly was with her,
, and when her father spoke TO his con-
gregation OF the necessity OF raising
funds at once and the lull succeeding

TOR WORLDS FAIR USES.

To the Kings Daughters in the
State of Minnesota.
1t has been thought wise in order o
promote unity and so increase the eff
cheney of the Kings Daug hters' work
in Minnesota to appoint state secre-
tary. This having been done, reports
are desired from all throughout the
state who are connected with this order,
either in circles or individually. AS
the worlds fair committee desires a
state report of the Kings Daughters
work. it is necessary that all reports be
sent in without delay. Reports should
state name and membership Of society,
date of organization, line of work and
any statistics that can be given. as
dress of president and secretary, if
there be one. There is reason to sup
pose that there are many Kings Daugh-
terS' societies throughout the state that
have never reported to the secretary of
the order in New York city, conse-
quently the press is our only available
means of discovering them. We
assume that this failure to formally at
tach themselves to the order under
whose name they enroll themselves is
due to inadvertance or ignorance rather
than to neglect; but surely no Kings
Daughter seeing this appeal will fail to
respond to it when there Is at stake the
accuracy of report which we wish to
gather together but for the purpose of
honOring that Name in which all Kings
Daughters serve.
Please submit all reports not later
than Nov. IL, and as much earlier as
possible. Address Miss NJ. X. Lee,
