Some one asked ME the other day what
was the origin Of women proposing mar
riage during leap year. looked it up,
and while it may not be new to all dare
say it will interest many. In the year
1888 statute was published by the
Scotch parliament, of which the follow
ing is copy, and is, to my mind, the
origin of the custom or idea do not
know that it is custom or ever was:
at is ordaint that during the reign of
her maist blessit majestic, Margaret, like
maiden, ladee of bath high and low es-
tate, shall haze liberty to speak to the
man she likes. Gif he refuses to take
her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in
the sum of ane hundredity pounds or
less, as his estait may bee, except and
alwais gift he can make it appear that he
is betrothit to another woman; then he
shall be Free"
After the dear old Margaret had
passed away the women became clamor-
GUS for their privileges, and to appease
them another act Of parliament allowed
them the privilege every fourth year.
This year is leap year, and no doubt the
question will be asked, What gave rise to
the notion that women may do their
own ourting?-Interview in Chicago

The Queen :. q s,o,h.r.

The Rev Robert Collyer recentlv
made an after dinner speech in the conrss
Of which he laid some stress on the nra.
vaiiing trait OF motherliness in the char.
acter OF Queen Victoria, and held It nm
for admiration.
~ Is well known that, especially
among the middle classes in Great Brit
ain, the magnificent habit of motherhood
notaDie IN their monarch has been, per-
maps. the main spring Of her popularity.
Inc British matron feels that she has
ner highest justification in the character
Of her queen,
Inc spectacle of the wife of the mar
yr' john Rogers. who soothed the last
burning moments Of her spouse BY stand
ing around with nine small children and
one at the breast (as duly set down in
history and the New England Primer,
has hardly higher inspiration for the
British natron than the thought of the
queen OF England and her nine children.
all OF whom in due course OF time have
married and Except in one instance,
have given the British taxpayers much
to think about by having families of
truly royal proportions.
The noble trait of motherliness which
DIR. Collyer praised so highly is only
natural to III august lady who has got so
fixed in the notherly attitude. It is in
deed her second nature.
The devotion to this high principle of
the whole British nation, classes and
masses alike, was finely shown by the
remark OF very simple minded and
enthusiastic young Englishwoman last
summer. An American traveller was
conversing with her at garden party
where she was enjoying the excitement
OF her first season, and something was
said about the recently announced en-
gagement of one of her friends, another
debutante The young girl was asked
If she proposed to allow herself to be
wooed and won by any of her many at
tendant cavaliers during her first sea-
son, and she replied with towering mai
vete: "Oh, fancy shan't marry until
I've had a season or two to myself. But
when | do hope shall have as many
children as the queen!' This highly
British remark is micocosm of the pop
ular taste in the tight little island touch
ing the great economic fact that the
family is the basis of the state. st

The postmaster general has issued in
structions to the surveyors of the postoffice
throughout the kingdom that in future
vacancies, whether temporary or perma-
nent, among the rural and provincial town
postmen are to be preferentially filled by
the appointment of soldiers of good char
acter belonging to the reserve, or having
served their time. Applications from suit
able candidates should be made to the Off
GERS commanding the depot centers. or to
the Guards Employment society.
This system cannot at present be adopted
in the metropolis, because up to a certain
period the telegraph messengers were en-
gagged on the prospect of being appointed
to vacancies rs postmen when of proper
age, upon approved service and on passing
certain examination But about 10, 600

When the jaguar found that he could

Africans with Tails.

Various stories have been told of the
tails of the Mann Mans Of central Africa,
who have also been asserted to be canni
balls Their tails have been described as
smooth and as hairy, as peculiar to the
men, and rs possessed by the men and
women both. The most interesting and
circumstantial account of this feature is
given by DR.. HGbsch, Of Constantinople,
who examined tailed negress. Her tail
was about two inches long and terminated
in point. The slave dealer who owned
her said that all the MAN Mans had tails,
and that they were sometimes ten inches
long. DR.. Hubsch also saw a man of the
same race who had tail an inch and a
half long, covered with few hairs; and he
knew at Constantinople the son Of physi-
clan who was born with tail an inch and
half long and one of whose grandfathers
had like appendage. The phenomenon,
he said is regarded generally in the east as
a sign of great brute force. Popular Sci.

Bangles Are Unlawful.

The stringing of small coins to form
bangles or bracelets has been decided to
be fraudulent mutilation of lawful mon,
ey, and even the piercing of a coin for use
as watch chain pendant is held to be All
offense. 1t is well to bear this in mind,
because it is in opposition to the old eoun-
try Iaaxim that there is no offense in cut
ting coin unless it is subsequently offered
as money, and prima facie case of fraud
thus established.
1t is not very likely that government Of
fcers will go around arresting all ladies
found wearing ornaments with pierced
coins in them, for even if there were no
other risk, there would be great danger of
arresting some one who was wearing IA
string of foreign coins closely resembling
ours at first glance. But the law is so in
convenient and unreasonable that it will
more than likely be repealed. Interview
