First Money He Ever Earned.

A few years ago, a large party,
headed by the Duke of Norfolk, went
IN a tour through the Continent. The
Duke busted himself very much on
,he journey in a kind hearted way
about the welfare of every one in
The party. At every station he
used to get out and go round to see if
le could do anything for any one.
One old woman, who did not know
him, when she arrived at last in
Rome, tired and hot, found great diff
iculty in getting a porter. So she
seized on the Duke. Nov, my good
man," she said, 'sI've noticed you at
these stations loafing about. just
make yourself useful for once in your
life. Take my bag and find me a
cab" The Duke mildly did as he was
Did, and was rewarded with a six

said, ST shall prize this, indeed! It

why 1900 is Not a Lean yaar-

Many are puzzled by the fact that.
although the old test ''divide by four
without q remainder" applies to the
present year, yet 1900 is not a lean
year. Julius Caesar is responsible for
the variation. Finding that the solar
year, occupied about 365. days, he
decided that it would be better to add
an entire day to the year in every
fourth revolution of the earth around
the sun, but as Ehe quarter" day was
approximate, being actually five hours
and a little lesst than forty-nine min
utes, there WOULD be a gain in the
course OF 9 cehtury of nearly a day.
That being tho case, he further or
dained that inl order to prevent the
calendar year from getting too far
in advance of tie solar an occasional
leap year should be Skipped" and il
is 1900's turn.
