LEAP-YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
A Unique Society In berlin which Is
TO HOLD Hig Celebration
In 1904.

Herr Monteur, worthy resident
Of Berlin. is over 20 years old, but
will celebrate his eighteenth birth
day on February 20, 1904. He is pres
ident OF the Berlin society of leap
year children, the one organization
of It's kind in the world. The mem
bers have had no birthday celebra-
ton for eight years, the extra Feb
ruary day having been omitted in
1900 according to the rules of the
reformed calendar. Therefore the
society Is planning n great celebra-
tion on February 20, 1904, A com
mittee of arrangements is already
at work, AMI something extraordin-
airy may be expected, as on account
OF the society's curious origin many
prominent persons have interested
themselves in the matter.
The month Of February in 1886, by
the way, was even more interesting
than that which will be marked by
the unique Berlin celebration. 1t
had no full moon, and i'm that was
history for never before had such n
thing occurred. January OF that
year had two full moons, and so had
March, but February had none
How extraordinary this event was
may be judged from the fact that
according to the computation of
astronomers It will not occur again
for 100000 years.

his son Edwin and shot at his wife with
muzzle. loading shot gun, Mantz, who
is said to have been intoxicated, loaded

BEGINNING OF BEET SUGAR.
Developed by Man of That
Nation.

The great sugarbeet industry Of
the world owes its very existence to
a discovery of Vilmorin, says Success.
The original sugar beet grown in
France did not contain enough sugar
for commerce. The amount of sugar
could be easily determined in the
beet, but in making the test the re-
productive qualities of the plant were
always destroyed Vilmorin learned
how to extract the pulp without de-
stroying the plant, and by selection
and cross-breeding he grew plant
upon which the great industry is now
founded. We owe also to Nilmorin
the present carrot, "A vegetable which
was nothing more than thin, hard,
woody root, unfit for the stomach Of
sheep or a COW. Year after year,
he sowed in bed and carefully ex-
amined every root. BY selecting seed
from only the best plants for the
new sowing, he produced n carrot
with more flesh and less wood. The
horse-radish, the turnip, and indeed,
the potato vine, were once plants
with thin, dry, woody roots, without
the least suggestion that they would
ever develop into food for man or
beast.

ART AND ATHLETICS.
The outdoor Movement. II IL
Thought, VIII Advance the Two
Interests.

The universally increasing atten-
ton now being given, especially in
Anglo-SaxOn countries, to out of.
door sports and to physical culture
is a sign of the best omen. No class
can have "A greater solicitude for the
furthcrance of this movement than
the artists, for they cannot create
beautiful forms without having
beautiful forms around them from
which to draw inspiration. The art
Of n nation is but the mirror of that
nations ideals, and faithfully reflects
their slightest change, says Outing.
This new conception Of the value of
athletics will add dignity, interest
and standing, making il factor sec
ond to none in the development OF
our civilization. II will be a mighty
influence in the creation of new
and superior type of men and women.
lhat women are growing more and
more to realize this is evidenced bv
the athletic tendency Of the modern
girl II she will combine Herewith
an intelligent effort after well-hal-
anccd and harmonious development
the results are bound to he satisfy
ing IN the extreme, for in many ways
the female body is quicker than the
male to respond to training.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
simple Methods May He Employed
without Hcsortipp to the Use
OF the whip.

An expert states that the vice Of
baking in horses is almost Invariably
caused by improper breaking and
handling Of the animal while Young.
II is only high-strung and ill-tempercd
horses that bnlk; and these are handled
with more success by humoring and
patience than by severe measures.
which generally make matters worse.
II Is almost impossible to follow rules
in case Of this sort. What will sue
coed in one case is useless in another.
SO that n driver must exercise good
udgment-"hOrSc scnSc"-in handling
n case, A very good treatment is to
watch the animal closely in places
where it would be likely 20 balk, and
driver should say whoa" then get
of and loosen or pretend 10 change
the harness in some way; also take UP
n foot and tap the shoe with 81 one.
Spend few moments leisurely In this
way, and in nine cases out 81 ten the
animal will forget It's inclination TO

TO WED THE UGLIEST MEN.
Society of Lovely American GirIs
Which Has Been Formed for
That Purpose.

Extremes meet in the tickle fem
inine fancy. The attractiveness of
the Adonis for women is not to be
compared with that of the man who
Is so fearfully and wonderfully ugly
as to serve as a living confirmation
of the truth of the Darwinian theory
regarding the descent of man, says
the New York Herald
A bevy of lovely American girls
have formed society, the object of
which is to search the land for the
ugliest men to be found outside a
museum and, when found, to marry
them as soon as possible.
Ever since the time when Mira
beau, the ugliest of all Frenchmen,
had his host of female admirers
really hideous men have been wor-
shipped by women.
This extraordinary fondness of
women for extremely ugly men is
seen when some especially villainous
looking criminal, accused of par
ticularly atrocious crime, is exhib-
tied in the dock and Immediately be-
comes the idol of all the women who
attend the trial. The more hideous
his appearance and the fouler his
misdeeds the more enthusiastic is
the worship of the women.
'He is so delightfully."- ugly" said
q pretty girl, when asked what par
ticular fascination a brutal criminal
possessed for her.
1t is a fact that in all ages and
countries this strange feminine ten
dency has been strikingly demon
strated.
No explanation that seems plausi-
BILE has ever been given.

THIRTY THOUSAND In CASH.
To See the Mass Lying Idle I'm bank

Practical Spirit.

The Italian bankers OF Elizabeth and
Mulberry streets are filing their show
windows with greenbacks in an ef-
fort to attract trade and convince the
public that one has more money than
the other. In the window Of one
banker 100000 was on exhibition one
day recently. says the New York Sun.
Bills of all denominations were
strewn carelessly around the window
attracting crowds.

marked one woman, "them's imita-

struggle for"

ragged boy.
Two Italian laborers got into an ar
gument as to the amount OF cash in
the window. One thought there must
have been at least 81 100000.
About noon two men with long whis-
kers stopped their vending wagon in
front of the place. They had come
over from the East Side of town.

CORONATION.
Much Dread in England Thatit Will
Not Take Place.

London, July %. -Coronation seats
cannot be sold even at reduced prices
and there is steadily increasing feel
ing of uneasiness respecting the King
condition. Outwardly there is every
Indication that the coronation VIII oc-
cur in fortnight. Medical bulletins
are favorable, rehearsals 81 in progress
proclaim atoms have been posted, the re-
decorating of the approaches to West
minister Abbey has been resumed ana
preparations are making for the naval
review. Notwithstanding all these
signs of optimism there are persistent
reports that the coronation will be de-
ferred a second time
There re unfortunately strong rea-
sons for believing that the queen, the
Prince of Wales and other members OF
the royal family are dreading the ne
cessity for second postponement, yet
are not prepared to assume the respon-
sibility of advising it, since they fear
the mental effect upon the patient Will
be serious It cannot be doubted that
officials both of the court and Of the
abbey are expecting an abandonment OF
the ceremonial and are wondering how
the surgeons will justify their own con
duct in misleading the nation. Their
apprehensions may not be well founded,
but it will not be startling surprise
for the public if second postponemeDt
be announced in the course Of this
week
Varions examinations Of the kings
condition are offered. One il that there
are symptoms Of recrudescence Of the
malady; another is that the wound IL
not healing properly and that blood
poisoning is feared another is that the
kings physicians, having found 1t neces
sary TO comply with the patients
wishes respecting an early date for the
coronation, are now forced 10 admit
that they overrated his recuperative
powers, yet are unwilling to disappoint
him.

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
Derringer That belonged to the Ia
nous Illinois Statesman Has
Been Located.

A Derringer pistol with an unusual
history, has come into the possession
of Col. Walter French, the file clerk
of the house of representatives. He
found it not long ago in a pawnshop
and promptly observed that the in
scription on the handle of the weapon,
IS A. Douglas" was probably the
name of Stephen A. Douglas, long a
prominent democratic figure in con-
gress in the ante-bellum times, says
the Washington Post.
Having purchased the weapon, he
made inquiries from Col. James Madi-
son Cults, of this city, kinsman by
marriage of Mr.. Douglas, who recog-
nized the Derringer as one of pair
that Mr. Douglas owned during the eX-
citing political events preceding Lin
coins Inauguration. It seems that a
accustomed to wear in those days,
one in each of two small top pockets
in the trousers, was presented 10 Mr..
Douglas by the superintendent of the
Harper's Ferry arsenal. These were
subsequently taken to Louisiana,
where it was discovered that the
springs were fashioned so that the
hammer would not explode the per-
cussion cap. This defect in mechanism
was corrected.
In just what manner the pistol was
secured from the possession of Mr.,
Douglas is not known. Col Cults has
the mate to it, which the great demo-
crat presented to him.
