Yelped in Court.

The attorneys, the court and jur-
ors in the Court of Common Pleas
at Wooster, Ohio, have had before
them in a criminal proceeding, q
witness whose story on the stand
was alike an inf1iction to himself
and all who heard him. The man is
known as "Yelping Jim," or Jim
Miller, of Franklin township. Mil
ler, who is now a man of about 80
years, has since childhood been af-
flicted with a peculiar nervous af-
fection, although a stout, hearty
man. At intervals from one minute
to three minutes his head will give
a jerk, and the mouth fly open with
a loud whoop that under ordinary
circumstances can be heard several
blocks away. During his story on
the stand his nervous temperament
was necessarily strained, with the
result that the "yells" or "whoops"
came with greater frequency and so
loud that they could be heard
through the entire building.
Miller has spent great deal of
money in trying to be cured or de-
livered of his singular trouble, but
without avail. He has never been
outside of the county but few
times for the reason that his yell
ing was continually getting him
into trouble. Everypoliceman whom
he would meet would imagine that
he was hilariously full and arrest
him for disorderly, conduct. He
was never locked up or fined, as he
always happened to have some per-
son with him who would explain
to the authorities his trouble. He
suffers no Inconvenience from the
trouble, he says, only when excited !;
then the jerking the head causes
him pain.

The Use OF q Leap Year.

The necessity of some division of
time must have been early felt in the
civilized world. This was done in
way by the changes Of the moon,
hence the division into months and
weeks. Then the seasons gave an
other mark of Division, and thus
arose the division into years. But
the year did not contain an exact
number of months. Various ways
were employed to correct this error.
The Egyptians had year determ-
ined by the changes of the season,
without regard to the moon, contain
ing 365 days, divided into twelve
months of thirty days each, with
five supplementary days at the end
of the year. The Jews had, and
still have, q year of twelve lunar
months, a thirteenth being intro
duced from time to time, to accom-
modate it to the sun and seasons.
This was the plan of the ancient
Syrians and Macedonians. The
Greeks reckoned real lunar months,
twelve making year. Julian Caesar,
in As B. c., instituted the Julian
calendar, according to which the
year has ordinarily 365 days, and
every fourth year is a leap year Of
366 days. The length of the year
was thus assumed as 3654 days,
while in reality it is 365 days, 5
hours, 4S minutes and so seconds,
or II minute 10 seconds less than
1854 days. This Julian style OF
reckoning was so comparatively
perfect that it prevailed until the
II minutes (about) had amounted
in 1882 to 10 complete days, when
also the vernal equinox fell upon the
18th instead of the 21st of March.
This same discrepancy occurred in
the year 325. This shifting of days
had caused great disturbances by
unfixing the time of the celebration
of Easter; also, all other movable
feasts.
Accordingly, Pope Gregory XIII
ordained that ten days should be
deducted from the year 1882 by
calling what, reckoning by the old
calendar, would be the 5th of Octo-
Der the 18th of October, 1882. In
order that the displacement might
not occur, it was further ordained
that every hundrtd.h year $780,
1900, 1000, etc.), excepting every
fourth hundredth beginning with
1000. In this way the difference be.
tween the civil and natural year will
not amount to a day in 5000 years
Spain, Portugal and Italy immedi.
ately adopted this plan, and other
nations fell in line later. Russia il
the only country that adheres to
the old style.-Boston Globe.

A Curious Mineral.

Quite recently a large deposit of
what is sometimes known as fossil
-four" has been discovered in the
State of Maine, and that, too, of
such purity as to arouse the wonder
of the best analysts. In investigat-
ing the properties of this new earth,
one is impressed at once by its
wonderful faculty for resisting the
action of acids, alkalies, oils, and
especially by its remarkable quality
as nonconductor of heat. A SIM
pie test of this latter quality, made
by one interested in the company,
was to take an inch cube of the ma
terial and place it on bar of iron.
The iron bar was then put in a
blacksmith's forge and heated until
it was melted away from the cube
Of earth. So little did the heat PEN
citrate this cube that one could
easily place the fingers upon the
upper part of it without inconven-
ience from the heat. Fossil flour is
almost as white as oxide of zinc.
It is so light in weight that q flour
barrel of it in its natural condition
will not weigh over so pounds. 1t
is, as we have already stated, abso-
lutely unaffected or unchanged by
any sort of mechanical manipula-
ton. by acids, alkalies or heat. AS

ing duty is to receive its doctrines
With full confidence of their truth
and practice them with a pure heart.
II believe that the Bible is to be
understood and received in the plain
and obvious meaning of it's pas
sages, since / cannot persuade my
self that n book intended for the
instruction and conversion of the
whole world should cover its true
meaning in such mystery and doubt
that none but critics and philoso-
piers can discover it.
II believe that the experiments
and subtleties of human wisdom
are more likely to obscure than to
enlighten the revealed will of God,
and that he is the most accom-
plished Christian scholar who hath
been educated at the feet of Jesus
and in the College of Fishermen.
II believe that all true religion
consists in the heart and the affec-
tiQns, and that, therefore, all creeds
and confessions are fallible and un-
certain evidences of evangelical
tpiety.
"Finally, I believe that Christ
has imposed on all his disciples a
life of active beuevolence; /; that he
who refrainse only from, what, he
thinks to be sinful has performed
but q part and q small part of his
duty; that he is bound to do good
and communicate, to love his neigh
bor, to give food and drink to his
enemy, and to endeavor, SO far as
in him lies, to promote peace, truth,
piety and happiness in wicked
and forlorn world, believing that in
the great day which is to come there
will be no other standard Of merit,
no other criterion of character than
that which is already established
BY their fruits ye shall know them" +"

It Was a Success.

The third annual ball given under the
auspices of the John Mitchell Social
Club at Anoka, last Wednesday evening,
was success from every point OF view.
lhe programme of entertainment con-
aimed twenty-four numbers and nothing
was left undone from beginning to close
to make it pleasant and agreeable to al!
concerned. About seventy tickets were
sold at 81 50 each, which left no doubt, in
q financial way, the outcome. The Fitz-
gerald orchestra, of this city, furnished
the music and creditably was it's work
performed. "Torn" Coleman, q resident
of Hennepin, Anoka or Ramsey counties
beyond question the former) was there,
together with his baritone voice, and
nobody doubted that he was doing all
that could be done to make it pleasant
for all, no matter from whence they
came. Tom Ryan, James McArdle, Ed.
Foley and others were doing their best,
too, in the same direction. A number OF
ladies' and gentlemen were present from
Minneapolis anc it goes without saying
that they will repeat their visit at the
earliest opportunity and invite their
friends to join with them in the festiv-
tiles. In this connection such ladies
as Mrs, r. M. Ryan, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. l..
Sullivan and many others contributed
much-far beyond expectations-to that
grand success already achieved and re-
corded. Unequivocally and impartially
speaking the John Mitchell club party
was magnificent success.

The Biiou.

Following "Mr. Barnes of New York, .
at the Bijou and commencing with a
matinee, will be witnessed a splendid
production of melo-drama introducing
for the first time in this city in several
years, that stirring old time play "Alone
in London" Like 'sThe Silver King;
1.-THE Romany Rye; "The Lights OF
London" and other plays of this charac-
ter, "Alone in London" has established
it's popularity with theatre goers. 1t is
that style of plays that hold the mirror
up to nature rejecting the human pas
sions of love and hate, the whole afford
ing a story of powerful interest. The
piece develops in the unfolding of it's
plot, series of strong scenes and thrill
ing situations. Plays Of this kind appeal
directly to the heart and portray nature
in a true way by presenting in pictur-
esque manner the life among the lowly
and degraded. "Alone in London" is
acknowledged to be one of the strongest
melo-dramas ever written, the con-
etruction of the play being typical of
that great English capital, and permits
of liberal scenic adornment and stupen-
6ous stage arrangements. This manage
ment it is said have spared no expense in
making this portion of the entertainment
especially complete. In the leading role
will be seen the promising young actor,
William De Shelley. The company sup
porting him is said to be of an excellent
standard and ably assisted in making
tho production meritorious one in every
way. There is no doubt but that the
many Minneapolis friends Of William DE
Shelley will indicate their regard for
him by giving him large reception at
the Biiou.
