Notable by It's Absence.

One of the most notable days Of Feb
ruary is the 29th generally remarkable
by its absence. The question is often
asked, "What is the use of Goth Of
February" The reason all the years
are not 365 days long is that the earth
makes the year by travelling round the
sun, and 1t takes 365 days, five hours,
forty eight minutes and forty-nine and
seven-tenths seconds to make the jour-
ney. We let the odd fractions of a day
run on till they make a whole day,
which we tack on to the end Of Feb
ruary. But even this makes the year
a few minutes too long, and so Febru-
ary must renounce all claim to its Goth
day in the years 1900, 2100 and in every
other hundredth year which cannot be
divided by 400 without remainder. This
brings the almanac year so nearly to
the real year that it will take some
thousands OF years before people find
out the difference, and then, IL poster
ity be wise as we are, it may correct
the time to suit itself.

Four Feet or Snow.

/ have seen four feet of snow fall in
eight hours, said Conductor Cobb of
the Maine Central to the Lewiston
Journal man, and yet it was so light
that you could wade through 1t just as
you can through water.
1t was in the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains-a sort of frost-like snow that
falls in the night, burying everything.
Twelve feet away from another man
you can just see him, with a sort of
halo around him, as though some
where the sun was shining through the
storm. In these storms 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell direction or distance. One
Is simply lost when only short dis
tance from camp.
In the morning we walked down into
town. One man went ahead breaking
the snow, which came nearly to his
armpits, as he moved through II. He
would tread until tired, when he would
drop to the rear. and some one else
would lead the procession. AS we
walked into the valley 1t grew less,
and down below In the town there had
been no snow, and all the time the sun
or the stars had shone. Such a snow
goes like the dew-disappears, evap-
crates.

Desperate.

1t is probable that few musicians
ever become famous without wishing,
at one time or another, that they might
find a refuge from the reputation
which precedes them wherever they
go.
At one time the celebrated composer,
Verdi, went to the watering place Of
Montecatini for a much needed holi-
day. In one Of the apartments assigned
to the veteran musician stood grand
piano of splendid tone. Verdi removed
the score of I'll Trovatore" which had
been laid on the rack by way of COM
pliment, locked the instrument, and
called for the, son of his host, to whom
he said in solemn tones:
Lead me to the spot which overhangs
the stecpest precipice."
On reaching the summit, the macs
tro, who was almost exhausted from
fatigue, flung the key of the piano into
the abyss. saying firmly:
snow l can have peace and quiet
On the day of my departure will send
for a new key, but while am here the
piano remains as 1t is.''

Everybody looked cold disapproval at
him, as good, polite Christian people do

fished out one and extended 1t to him.
"Thankee, he said, receiving 1t in a
brown paw. "Comic almanac, hey?"
"No, sir" said the woman, firmly, In
high falsetto voice. "It Is to save
your immortal soul. Touch not, taste
not, handle not the wine." And she
pointed with crooked forefinger to
the glass flask protruding from his
breast pocket.
"Oh, see," said the man, smiling
good-humoredly on his sour-visaged

into another pocket he flshed out some

dissertation on temperance, but got out

nymphs. The monument, which will

Heine's native city, Dusseldorf-on-thc-
Rhine, and later to the city of Mayencc,
but both Of these towns refused to ac-
cept 1t. knowing that the crowned
heads were not in favor of the poets

thought.
Heinrich Heine was a poetic genius,
satirist and wit who was born in Dus-
seldorf, Of Jewish parentage, in 1709.
At an early age he evinced a brilliancy
of intellect which attracted attention
in his native town and, after gradu-
ating from the Universities Of Bonn
and Gottingen, he took up literature
and soon "Young Germany" was at his
feet There was reckless freedom
Of thought and hostility to monarchy
expressed in his writings which won
for him the admiration of the revolu-
tionists and the antipathy of the royal
lists. For beauty and tenderness Of ex-
preston his writings are unmatched
in German literature except by the
lyrics of Goethe. The revolution of the
early 3O's threw Heine into such vio-
lent fit Of democracy that he was exiled
and spent the remainder OF his life In
France. There he won high favor with
the French Republicans. He died in

"Warm-Handers.-

The article In the Youths Compan-
ion Of Jan. 10, 1895, on the introduction
of luclfer-ma tches and the hre-making
and fire-keeping means which preced-
ed these useful little articles. has call
ed out an interesting account, from the
Rev. III. G. Hamilton, of Redwood,
Ohio, of device which was employed
in his family, In his youth. In those
early and matchless days, every boy
learned well the art of so covering
fire In the ashes that 1t would not go
out over night. But nevertheless 1t
sometimes became necessary to 'bor-
row fire." or carry 1t to a camp; and
in such cases the ordinary method
in which 1t was done is thus described
by Mr.. Hamilton:
When one of us boys wished to carry
fire to the sugar camp, or with us on
a hunt for rabbits, opossums, or coons,
we would get as much tow from
hogshead In the barn as we could
carry In one or both hands. We would
fiatten this out into somewhat the
mothers shortcakes, lay the tow on the
hearth, and then drop into the center
Of 1t good solid coal, about the size
Of hens egg. Then we gathered the
tow up into a knot, with the coal in
the center.
This made a tow-ball, with live
coal In the center of 1t. We prevented
the tow from burning by the pressure
of the hand; and in this way could
carry live coal for several hours.
When everything was ready to start
fire, we opened the tow-ball and
thus gave the fire air; and the result
was that the tow took fire, blazed up,
and set fire to the kindling provided.
We had a bright fire at once.
But we had another use for our ball
of fire and tow. We called it a"warm-
handler" When the weather was cold,
and our mits were bad, or we had
none, we would make these tow-balls
and carry them with us as we went
from place to place.
We could put our hands, In which
we held the balls, in our pockets, and
thus have miniature stove In our
"wampus," or our trousers pockets.
Our hands were thus protected from
the cold, and we were ready at the
same time to start fire at mo-
ment's notice.
l am sure that 1 could carry ball
Of fire and tow with me a distance of
sixteen miles, and then start a fire in
two seconds from the time l arrived,
and in the meantime have a cheap
device that would put a lady's muff
to shame as means Of protecting the
hands from cold.

A Good Breakfast.

The foreign idea of light breakfast
has become very popular In this coun-
try, particularly among those who have
acquired the habit In France. Now,
doctors are beginning to inveigh
against 1t, and with considerable show
of reason, as they point out that during
the night occurs ones longest fast. 1t

The rolls and coffee are not fit prepara-

do for nation of idlers, but not for as
industrious folks as we Americans. An

him when he is hungry, and the best

The willingness of the worm to turn

Sculptors say that very few women
have arms that conform to the stand
ard. A perfect arm, measured from
the wrist Joint to the armpit, should
be twice the length Of the head. The
upper part of the arm should be large,
full and well rounded. The forearm
must not be too fat, not nearly as fat
as a mans, for instance. From we'll
nodded shoulder the whole arm should
taper In long, graceful curves to a
well-rounded wrist. 1t Is better to
have an arm that harmonizes, even
IL the parts do not conform to the
generally accepted lines. For instance,
a full, round upper arm which is join
ed to fiat-or thin forearm has a very
bad effect. Perhaps 1t is only little
worse, however, than graceful, well.

scrawny upper arm.

BY this time we ought to be well
accustomed to British ignorance of
American politics. But still the ig-

Not the same Genesis.

A German Hebrew professor had FIVE
daughters, whom the students called
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
and Deuteronomy. One day the profes-
sor began his lecture by saying
Gentlemen, wish to speak to you
to-day about the age Of Genesis"
which remark was greeted with a
burst Of feet scuffing and n general
smile on the part of the class.
The professor, thinking that his sub
ject was being appreciated, continued,
with still firmer note in his voice
Genesis Is not SO old as some Of you
suppose"
This was greeted with such burst
of merriment that the professor had
plenty of time, before 1t quieted down,
to think what should be his next re-
mark. And this, after all, was not so
wide Of the matter.
