1900 Not 4 Leap Year.
(London Globe }

Next year is not leap year, al
though it is divisible by four. The
following note from correspondent
seems to show that an explanation Of
this fact may not be unacceptable to
some readers
IAN aged reader of your solid end
accurate j)urnsl, extending as far
back as the time when Charles Dic&.
ems was editor, begs to put the ques
tion, Is next year leap year 7 He WAS
taught at school some sixty'fye years
ago that, to fnd leap year, divide the
current Auno D0minI by four, and if
without remainder it is leap year.
And yet three slmanscs for 1900
that be has consulted give February
twenty eight days, INSTEAD of twenty
nine, as on the old calculation"
The role which our correspondent
was taught at school wss good
enough for sxty.6ve years ago, but
it is only part of the rule, aud the
second part OF it is wanted now.
There is third part Of the rule
which none of us need trouble TO
learn, as it will not need to be put
into practice until the year 1000 As
most people know, leap year is sim
ply q device to keep the calendar
from going wrong, as is did in former
times, so that our forefathers had to
jump twelve days in 1852 and call the
81 of September OF that year the
18th. The Scotch corrected their
calendar a century and hslt before
the English. The calendar would go
wrong again without the leap.year
device, because common year by
the calendar would only be 365 days.
whereas the actual solar year is 800
days ) hours 4S minutes and 46 Sec
onds. We can keep the calendar al
most exact now for some centuries to-
come, is we and posterity follow the
whole rule. which in its three parts
is the following:
l. Call every yesr of which the
oumber is diyisible by four a leap
year, except that
.. When the year ends with two
noughts you must omit the 90 before
doing the sum in division; and,
3 The year 1000 aud its multiples,
5000, 10000 and 10000, are to be
treated as exceptions and not counted
as leap years.
The men of science assure us that
if we stick to these rules the solar
year and the year OF our calendar
will run so nearly together that it
will ia ke 200 centuries for them to
vary by a single day. We may leave
posterity to correct that error in their
own way.

Paris chiromancer Says Heart, Not Head.
VIII Rule.

Paris, Dec. % The Gaulois has
consulted Madame De Tnebis, q
noted chiromsneer, ss TO the events
of the coming year.
She says the year will be under the
influence Of Venus. Affairs, eouse
quently, will be governed by peoples
hearts and not by their heads.
The year. according to Madame
De Thebis, will be marked by an in
crease in crimes caused by love. In
ternationsl politics even will feel the
Influence. This influence has already
begun to work, as is shown by the
widespread sympathy shown towsrd
the Trsnsvaal David in the struggle
With the British Goliath.
Madame De Thebis recommends the
elephant as a msscot-nOt the real
thing, but little models of gold and
silver: in fact, in all materials ex-
cept ivory which brings bad luck
probably because the elephants den
tistry is robbed TO procure the ivory.
1t is also uplucky to have articles
made of elephent bristles, presumably
for kindred reason. After wearing

Bryan and Eogg to Race on ostrichss.
New York Journal.)


Austin, Tex, December 2S -Ex.
Governor Hogg is a great lover OF
outdoor exercise, and If all reports
which are current in political circles
here to day are true, be is going to
give W. J. Bryan sn outing that will
result in much merriment, if nothing
else.
The big ex.GOvernsr has two big,
tame ostriches that be bought over q
year ago to train to drive to q buggy.
He has conceived the idea of having
a race for the fun Of it between Mr..
Bryan and himself on these os-
triches.
Both men hsve been trying to ride
the ostriches for a week. AS soon as
they grow sufficiently expert
they will attempt to have the race.
There have been several mishaps
during the efforts to convince the
birds that it is q good thing for them
to be ridden, but the two riders are
persistent. and they have promised
their friends that they shall see q
great race.
Ex Governor Hogg's 300 pounds
will make a heavy handicap for his
bird, but as be is great jockey,it is
believed that he will make lively
contest, his skill as rider evening
things up.
