1t closed with the year 1o0 and the second
began with l0l, and each century begins
with a year ending In l. The twentieth
will begin with 1901.
The other dific,aty is this leap year
problem. In a loose way we understand
that February has 30 days and the year
has Se6 days when the year is divisible by
4. But there Is to be by and by an ex-
ception to this. To balance n little in
equality of hours, the years ending In CO.,
though Invisible by L. are not counted
leap years except that beginning with
1000 those that are Invisible by 400 are
to be leap years, For instance 1900 Is
not to be leap yesar but 1000 viii be.
That will be the first leap year ending In
0O The next will be 2.4OO'
These two checks and corrections keep
the procession of the years In fairly good
order and enable the sale OF calendars
and diaries to flourish without interrupt
tion.

ANIOVERCRONDED SCHOOL
LITTLE ONES TURNED AWAY
FROM KALIHI-WAENA.
Fifty Pupils for Each Teacher
Growth of Population in the District
has Been Rapid Suggestions Made.

Attention is called to the urgent
need of another teacher and a slight
enlargement of the accommodation in
Kalihi-waena school. With the OK.
pansion of the city in that quarter
there has been an almost phenomenal
influx of pupils into Mr.. Edwards
school during the past two terms.
Last year it was found necessary to
extend. This year the school opened
with full roll. There are now 14O
pupils in the institution and every
available space is occu, ed. Seven
were turned away last weel; aud there
are others who would like to enter
but cannot on account of the deplor-
able lack of accommodations. Three
teachers have the tuition and man
agement of all these little urch.ns--
about fifty each.
The school can make out handsome
ly with the addition to the working
force of a second grade teacher, which
can be employed for $40 per month";
There is veranda to the school
house, which can be called into SER
vice for use of the primary classes. If
these can be taken from the rooms
into the equally or more comfortable
veranda, room will he made for the
other children in the community who
are now crowded out of the school.

THE UNFORTUNATE CAT.
How the Feline Is Looked Upon by th
UnfeelIng Juvenile.

How the Feline Is Looked Upon by the
Unfeeling Juvenile.
This is an old subject which is
liked by girls, but not by boys.
The proper name for cats is, be-
lieve, felines. l don't know what
they call them felines for, but they
do just tho same.
You can find cats all over the
world with the exception of our

Some cats live on milk, fish, meat.
m1ce and that kind OF stuff, but all
cats that I've ever seen seem to live
on the back fences.
] have heard of cats of nine tails
and cats of nino lives, but 1vo never
met any of em. All the cats that
ever had anything to do with had
only one tail and one life, and q
mighty short life at that.
Writing about cats puts me in
mind of maiden aunt of mine who
is so old that she remembers when
Washington crossed the Delaware.
Whenever visit her, she is awful
nice to mo at first, but all of sud
den, when l least expect it, she
jumps on me with both foet and
jaws mo until she has to acknowl-
edge that it tires her to be jawing at
me all the time, and l say, "Me,
too, :" to hear hor jaw mo. Then she
gets madden still and generally sends
me homo a-kiting.
They say it's good luck to have a
cat follow you. Isuppose they mean
it's good luck for the cat, for 80
times out of 100 when a cat follows
you you remembcr about Its being
lucky to have a cat follow you, and
you pick the cat up when no one is
looking, tako it to your house ana
give it good home.
/ know of cat that was fooled
once. The gump followed mo, and I
never had any luck afterward.
Neither did the cat. He went where

1t happened, once upon time,
that n very intelligent man was ask

never felt so complimented in all his

as if it was an ordinary, everyday

ture was model of everything clear
and scholarly. 1t was justly the
cause of many warm congratulations
from tho clubwomen, and nun.
