ALMANAC MAKING.

The manufacture Of almanacs and
calendars of various descriptions is
necessarily accomplished many months,
and even years, in advance. In the or
binary course of affairs with the trade
those for the years 1900 and 1901 should
be well advanced, but cOmpilers and
printers hesitate to go on with the
work, because they can not quite I'M
derstand what is to become of the odd
fractions of time arising from the fact
that 1900 viii not be a leap year.
The last year when there were %
days in February was in 1896, and as
leap year will not come around again
until 1904 upon the face of affairs it
certainly seems as if one day must I'M
doubtedIy be lost. On account of the
fraction more than 800 days, which go
to complete a solar year, not being
quite six hours, it is necessary once in
a century to omit the extra day of leap
year, by which every four years these
fractions are gathered up. Still it is
plain that if we have been gathering
up so many minutes too many each
leap year, we are at least a number Of
hours wrong, and what we now call
noon should really be the middle of the
night.
Such are the propositions which are
puzzling the uninitiated, and many cal
endar makers are permitting an mag
mary difficulty to delay active work on

Miss Daisy Simpson was severely in
Jured in the back. Bessie Roberts was
bruised considerably. Clint Phelps, of
Highland, had his ankles squeezed be-
tween two boards till he thought they
were broken. John Mcclellan went
down beside a dog, which being piniOn

by biting him. Several others were
hurt and bruised in a lesser degree.
Tuesday morning Miss Simpsons at

show, and after papers had been pre-

light, considering all the circumstances.
The show jumped its Wathena date,

fear of further action.
