AN exchange notes d movement for
a new division of the year which some
proposed to have inaugurated January
1, 1900. according to the authority
quoted, but 1901 would seem to be the
better date, marking the beginning of
the new century. y The innovation is
for the division of the year into thir-
teen instead of twelve months. The
first twelve months would have IS
days each and the thirteenth would
have %, except in leap years, when it
would have 30. Another advantage
would be that whatever day of the
week the new year came in on would
be the 1st, Sth, 18th and 22nd of each
month for the whole year. and this
would almost allow the doing away
with calendars. There would thus be
very great advantages in the adoption
of the proposed new division, but it
can hardly be brought about, upset.

THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP.

The March estimates of some writ
ers on crop situations presented dis
couraging outlook for the wheat crop
These had, however, little effect upon
the markets, which Immediately re-
sumed downward course 1t is
known TO close observers that the
March appearance of wheat above
ground is often misinterpreted as to
the crop prospect. \ warm fall with
only light rains, which mOiSten little
below the surface. often produces
considerable growth of top with roots
extending to but slight depth. \
cusual observer in early spring may
regard this as fair prospect, and
such conditions are not infrequently
reported as giving great promise. Ii
the spring rains are such as to settle
deep into the earth and there are no
severe freezes and no very high winds
if the season from late winter for
ward is exactly favorable. such pros
pect may Justify at harvest the OPP
timistic estimate often placed upon
it. But if the spring turns dry, heavy
froStS occur after growth has COM
menced, or high winds are long con-
tinued. such prospect is sure to decline
as the season advances.
On the contrary, if the soil is well
saturated during the fall, the roots go
deep, even though the top be small.
The plant may be killed to the sur
face and recuperate. If there follow
plenty of snow and wet spring, the
wheat crop surprises all superficial
observers by its vitality and rapid re-
cuperation, just as in the other case
it surprised them by its lack of vigOr
and inability to withstand yiciSSi-
tudes. Even if the spring be unfa-
vorable following favorable fall and
winter, the wheat crop developes and
yields beyond the estimates of any but
the closest observers.
In most parts of Kansas the fall and
winter conditions were such as to pro-
duce wheat plants OF great vitality.

Unconscious HumOr.

A very conservative and serious minded
member Of the House of Commons recently
arose in his place, and, speaking urgently
against certain radical measures 'contem-
plated, said:
"Since l came into the house, four years
ago, the confidence of the public in it has
been much diminished"
And he was too deeply in earnest to IN
derstand the laughter that followed.
s. R. Crockett, the writer, is said 10 have
had this experience lately, which he relates
with keen appreciation: Il was after one
of the two or three public lectures that he
ever delivered. A heavy, solemn-faced Scot
came around after the tragedy and shook
him by the hand in a melancholy manner.
Il haze read a your buiks," he said' and
after a pause he added. up TO this"
Mr.. Crockett expressed his thanks. The
man was silent awhile and tried again.

asked, referring to the recent lecture.
"No,'' replied Mr. Crockett, meekly.
II was thinking that said Mr. Crockett's
critic, with still deeper solemnity.

BEGIN WITH WILLIAMS.

The news dispatches told us two or
three days ago that Hon. Geo. b. Will
lianrs (of Terre Haute and Ticn Tsin) had
called pleasantly upon President-elect Nc
Kinley. We have waited modestly until
some other public journal should make the
following suggestion. None has done it.
We go ahead and make it ourselves. there
fore. And IL is this:
IL has frequently been mentioned that
Major Mckinley is experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty in making up his family
of official advisers. The subsequent steps
in the process would be comparatively easy
if only a satisfactory beginning could be
made. 1t is hard TO start with any Ohio
statesman, for example, as the chief Ohio
statesman of them all, Hon. Mark Hanna,
wants to be a United States Senator, audit
is not known for certain. nor ascertainable
either, probably, whether in the event of
Mr.. Sherman's appointment as Secretary
of State the wicked Mr.. Foraker would
CbNVuhuFG but WV DuSHutll 10
appoint Mr.. Hanna to the vacancy. 1t will
be easy to see upon a moments reflection
that if Mr. Mckinley would appoint Gen.
Williams Secretary of State, the main
difficulty and hence all of the difficulties
would be solved.
Gen. Williams is very smooth, and he
causes others TO be very smooth. He is
one OF the finest all-round, middleweight
diplomats in the country. He was born in
Indiana, like John Wesley Foster, and he
has lived in China, like Ii Hung Chang.
This suggestion TO Major Mckinley on our
part is entirely unsolicited and unbought;
but we hope he will be none the less quick
on that account to act upon it.

CITY Hall Gossip.

The court of appeals is expected TO hand
down some opinions tomorrow in several
important cases which have for some time
been occupying their attention. The one
which mainly interests the members of the
bar is the Hoff street railway case. which
originated before a justice of the peace.
1t went TO the District supreme court,
where Judge Bradley rendered an inter-
esting opinion which maintained that u
justice of the peace cannot grant what is
known as common law jury trial.
The opinion is In line with decision
by Judge Cox that in the so-called justice
of the peace jury trial the magistrate
cannot review the evidence or set aside
the verdict. That being the case. it is
contended that justice does not therefore
grant the trial intended by the Constitl-
ton. The decision of the court of APP
peals is awaited with no little Impotence
because of the large number of cases
which lawyers have to handle which origi-
nate from magistrates courts.

ENGAGEMENTS ANDGIFTs.


A valued correspondent sends us the
following:
You are quick and spicy. Give us an ar
ticle on the habit of women engaging them
| selves to men for years, taking all the pres
ents they can get, making agreement
| that in case OF breaking off they will not
return any of them; bow man is so en-
| amored that he will agree to anything.
! true woman will not want his gifts II
| his love is gone; only the woman whose Ell
tertainment has been questionable would
| keep them. or course small things don't
count, but when il counts up 10 six or eight
hundred dollars, and even into the thou
sands, 1 say that no lady would keep the
mans gifts; she surely would not wear
them. Let us hear from You.
We believe it has been stated in ali OF
the books of etiquette from time immemo-
rial, that no lady should accept gifts, ex
gentleman to whom she is not engaged to
be married. This rule is correct and in
variable for, reason it out In this way:
The engagement to marry is one of the
most serious and sacred things OF life.
| IL is hardly second in gravity to the sacra-
ment OF marriage itself, for it is, indeed,
the first step in the sacrament of marriage.
The relation OF the engaged couple should
be SO loving and confidential that gifts,
OF course, may properly Toe given from the
one to the other. If these close relations
do not exist, the exchange OF gifts, like
tie exchange OF confidence and love, is
foolish and improper, and is certain to
turn cut to be troublesome.
The case which our correspondent has
in mind-for evidently our correspondent
has some particular case in mind, and We
surmise that it is the case of a woman
is hardly conceivable. We cannot under
stand how any lady, or how any good
woman, can honorably, or even thought
lessly, receive gifts from any man to
the value OF six or eight hundred or even
of thousand dollars and preserve any
OF her self-respect whatever; and especial
" would this be true if any agreement,
understood or implied, had been entered
into between the two persons by which
the gifts should not be returned at the
termination Of the engagement. The best
reason for this is that it should never be
considered possible that an engagement
WOULD be terminated. 1t is not made for
that purpose; indeed, it is made for ex-
actly the opposite purpose. AS for the
implication, contained in the letter of our
correspondent, that it is to be inferred
in such cases that the relations of the two
persons could not bear the closest inspec-
ton, that is possibly not worthy, though
in the minds OF some the inference would
be inevitable.
As TO the suggestion of our esteemed
correspondent that we are ''Quick and
spicy we simply blush at that. We hard
ly know what il is to be quick and spicy;
yet if it is something good, we try to ex
emplify il and accentuate it every mo-
ment OF the day.
