Seven Years without a Birthday.

A Scottish clergyman, who died nearly
thirty years ago, Mr.. Leishman, of Kin
ross, used to tell that he had once been
seven years without birthday. The state
ment puzzled most who heard it. They
could see that if he had been born on the
29th of February, he would have no birth
day except in a leap year. But leap year
comes once in four years, and this accounts
for gap of three years only; their first
thought would therefore naturally be that
the old man, who in fact was fond of a
harmless Jest. was somehow testing about
the seTen- There was, however no joke or
trick in his assertion
At the present. time there can be very
few. If there are any, who have this tale to
tel q themselves. for one who can tell it
uUsI have been born Oh the 18th Of Febru-
Any AZ least DiDety-siX years ago. But a
similar line Of missing dates is now soon
20 return. and. indeed. there are no doubt
some readers who will have only one birth
day 10 celebrate for nearly twelve years
20 come.
The solution Of the puzzle is TO be found
IL the fact, which does not appear to be
very widely known, that the year 1900 was
not leap year and 1900 will not be- The
February Of 1892 mad twenty nine days,
but in all the seven years intervening be
tween 1895 and 1904, as well as in the three
between 1892 and 1886, that month will
have only twenty-eight.-Rev George Nc

When came to Nebraska in the fall OF
1863 l had to travel by rail from st. Louis

The Card Elevator.

There is a modern improvement in a
popular apartment house on East Seven
teenth street that no other apartment
house has. 1t is card elevator. The boy
in attendance in the hall puts visitors
card into the miniature lift, and by draw
ing rope sends the little elevator speed
ing upward to the topmost floor if the
caller wishes to see its occupants. If the
owners of the apartment can or cannot be
seen the maid sends the information down
through speaking tube. Time, labor and
temper are thus easily saved by this novel
contriranee. 1t is a desirable little mes
senger that does not stop, on the way up to
exchange fisticuffs and sporting ideas with
other messengers and hall boys. New

Heads and Brains,

Long heads are usually associated with
the possession Of great intellectual strength
and mental capacity. Herr ID. Ammon,
however, who made examination Of the
cranial capacity Of 5000 soldiers at Baden
the results of which he communicated to
the German men of science at Heidelberg
is Of the opinion that the size of the skull
depends almost invariably on the proper
tions Of the body. Tall men he found to
always have long skulls or skulls of me
dunn length, whereas the short, fat men,
as a rule, had round, fat heads
Further investigation and observation
satisfied Herr AmmOn that the ma jOrity
of the round heads came from the Black
Forest; those with the long heads usually
came from the valley of the Rhine, and
were especially numerous from towns and
from the neighbOrhoOds of castles of an.
cient families From this fact it is con-
cluded that the round headed men were
the original inhabitants of the Rhine val
ley, and that they were driven from it by
the long headed invaders.
Not only does the German anthropologist
find certain relation between the height
of the figure and the shape of the skull,
but his observations show that no fewer
than so per cent of the men examined
who had blue eyes also had fair hair.-St

The Paul Prys of Literature.

The detective in plagiarism would be a
trustier functiOnary than he is if he were
less like the detective in other branches of
roguery. He is rarely luminous exemplar
of virtue himself. and he seems to be urged
in his public service less by hatred of dis
honesty and love of justice than by the
hope of proving his own cunning. Not
dread lest offenders go undetected, but
dread lest his own skill in detecting them
go unknown, is his urgency. Thus there
is a constant overstraihing of clews and
evidence. With great flourish and noise
people are dragged to the bar who either
are not offenders at all or else are offenders
too petty for notice.
Besides the business long and exclu-
sively pursued is debasing. 1t induces a
state of morbid suspicion under which the
honest author will as hardly escape ques-
ton as an honest woman under the eye OF
a certain class of street loungers. To the
plagiarist hunter it is inconceivable that
any literary resemblance should not be
also literary borrowing, and that any lit
erary borrowing should not be a literary
theft.-Scrihner's

washing the white Lions.

Much has been written about the custom
Of making fools on the list of April, but
with the result only that it is very ancient
and very general. Sometimes the oppor-
tunity afforded by the day is taken ad-
vantage of by jocular people to carry out
some extensive hoax on society. One of
the best modern April hoaxes took place
in 1860 In March of that year vast num-
Der of persons received through the post a
card bearing the following inscription,
with a seal marked by an inverted sixpence
at one of the angles, thus having to super
fetal observation an official character:
Tower of London. Admit the bearer and
friend to view the annual ceremony of
washing the white lions, on Sunday, April
|, 1860. Admitted only at the white gate
1t is particularly requested that no gratui-
ties be given to the wardens or their assist
ants" The trick was successful. Cabs
were rattling about Tower Hill all that

Killed on the Railroad.

In the springtime prairie chickens on a

sometimes killed by the engine. Quail
also meet similar fate. Thousands of
snowbirds are also killed. An engineer

Gypsy Notions About Mountains.

In some of the gypsy tribes living about
central Europe the mountains are called
bar, rags" or muchlyis, which last term
usually means clouds" mist" the same
name being applied to the clouds as the
mountains, the latter being regarded as a
kind of pathway to heaven. According to
gypsy ideas the clouds are daughters of the
Mist King, and the lightning flashes the
sons of the Fire King, who would soar up
high into space, but the Wind King comes
and drives them down to the Earth, their
grandmother. In their flight before the
Wind King the lightning and its progeny

A Famous rowder Horn.

Mr.. o. D. Rose, a resident of Lincoln
Heights, is the possessor of an ancient and
interesting relic that has most remarka-
BILE history Ii is no less than a powder
horn 1874 wears old. The horn is yellow
with age, and contains the following in
scription, Daniel Brooks, his horn, made
at Lake George, October the 9th, l75S."
Although made from a common steet's
horn, this interesting relic has been the
property of General George Washington
General Wolfe, the hero of Quebec, and
Old Hickory jackson.
Mr.. Rose has a piece of old parchment
which contains history of the horn. The
paper states that the horn was taken from
the dead body of General Wolfe at the bat
tie of Quebec by General Murray. In 1868
it became the property of Major Gladwin,
and in l716 it fell into the hands of Gov
,ernor Sir Henry Moore, of New York.
Governor Moore gave it to the famous Gen!
eral Warren, the hero of Bunker Hill At
ter the great battle when General Warren
was killed, Private w. NJ. Smith took pos.
session of the horn and afterward gave it
to General George Washington, who car
ried it through the remainder of the Revo-
lutionary war and kept it until his death.
After the death of the father Of his cOun~
try the horn became the property of Lieu
tenant Richmond Somers, who carried it
through the war with Tripoli. The horn
was afterward given to General Jackson,
who carried it through the war of 1912. On
June IL, 1878, it became the property of w.
NJ. H. Rose, who in turn gave it to H. V.
Rose, Aug. 10, 1881. The latter gave it to
