1904 a Lean Year.

After eight years we are to have an
other leap year, 1904 being on the
calendar as such. 1t was widely pub
hshed in 1896 that it was the only op-
portunity the ladies would have for
eight years to exercise their ancient
prerogative of proposing marriage to
whom they willed. But eight years
have almost rolled around and those
who did not avail themselves of that
opportunity will soon have another.
The year 1900, as has often been ex-
planned, was not a leap year because,
according to the Gregorian calendar,
every year divisible by four, without
a remainder, is leap year, except 1t
be the asst in a Century, and then it is
a leap year only when divisible by 400
without a remainder. As 1900 was
not divisible without remainder, 1T was
not leap year.

An awful occurrence is reported
from the Woman's College at Ann
Arbor, Mich. The 800 girls in the
institution gave fancy dress party
few days ago. a horrid young man,
disguised as negro maid servant, OBJ
tanned admission to the dressing room
and assisted the girls in arranging
their costumes. Some of the young
ladies were dressed as boys, and it i.
now recalled that the colored maid
seemed to be able to give expert advice
as to how trousers should be worn.
Since the fact has leaked out that a
young man was present in the dressing
room, the girls and their friends are
Mortified.

David Simmons, OF Spencer, Roane
county, was partially eaten by his
dog, which is also believed to have
killed him, after Simmons had been
accidentally wounded while hunting.
Simmons started out Sunday with his
gun and two dogs. When be did not
return after the second day search was
instituted. The larger dog came home
Wednesday with his head covered
with blood. After dihgent search
Simmons dead body was found with
one leg almost totally eaten away. A
bullet wound showed that he had been
shot while hunting, and there were
evidences of a struggle, in which 1t is
thought the dog attacked his wounded
master, being crazed by the smell Of
blood, and finally killed him. The
small dog stood faithful guard and had
not drop of blood on its head.

Mrs. VIM. Kinney, near Piedmont,
had thrilling slide for life the other
day. She was in the barn on the hill
side at her home, milking the COW,
and had Just finished, when the barn,
loosened by frost, started from its
moorings, sliding 500 feet down the
steep declining track of snow, settling
right side up on the level. 1t swayed
greatly in the lightning descent, but
the woman chung frantically to post
while the timbers twisted and groaned
about her. With the other hand she
clutched the milk pail, and none was
split. When the building settled, the
terrified woman, unframed, emerged
with the bucket of milk, leading the
COW.

President Roosevelt last week gave
the National Zoo a large wildcat,
which was sent him by an unknown
admirer in Georgia. The animal was
wild and fierce, and his unexpected de-
livery at the White House created a
small panic among the servants, who
feared that he would escape from the
box in which he was shipped. The
box was dumped on the front porch at
the White House, and remained for
some time before any one could be
found who would sign receipt for it.
When the President learned of the
strange gift he hustled the animal to
the Zoo with his compliments.

LASSOING A
Why a Hungry Crew Got No Buffalo
Meat That Trip.

Meat That Trip.
The fare provided for steam
boat crews on the Missouri river
boats in early'days was extreme
ly plain and scanty. In the ellis;
tory of Steamboat Navigation on:
the Missouri River" the author
tells of a boat commanded by
Capt. LaBarge, the crew Of which
got very tired of their daily ra-
tons of salt pork and bread. AS,
they got into the buffalo country,
Capt. La Barge told them that
they should have the first buffalo
they saw, even if they had to lie to
half a day to get it.
Capt. La Barge had as first
mate an excellent man named
John Durack. He had been on the
river before, but had never been
engaged in a buffalo hunt, and the
captain thought this a good op-
portunity to initiate him. When
the boat reached the vicinity of
Handy's Post four buffalo bulls
were seen swimming the river.
"Man the yawl, john" said
Capt. LaBarge. II will go with
YOU. and we will have a buffalo
before we get back"
The captain gave orders to the
men on the boat to shoot the but
faloes, and he would then lassoo
one of the wounded ones and drag
it to the boat. He put Durack in
the bow with a line while he took
the rudder.
The men on the steamboatfired
and wounded two of the buffaloes.
To get them the boat had to pass
close to the two uninjured ones.
The captain supposed that Dur
ack understood the programme,
but the mate was not familiar
with the game they were hunting
and to LaBarge's CONSERVATION
slipped the moose over the head of
one Of the uninjured animals.
Too late Capt. La Barge shouted
to him not to do this; that he did
not want to anchor to- live buff
falo. - ..':
"Oh," replied Durack, she's as
good as any"
The buffalo kept straight on in
his course. The men backed their
oars, but to no they could
not stop him. Finally his feet
touched bottom, and up the bank
he went with the boat and it's help
less crew after him. They might
indeed have taken a boat ride over
the bare prairie had not the stem
of the yawl been wrenched entire:
" out of the boat, and carried off
by the terrified animal.
There stood the sorry crew,
shipwrecked across the river
from the steamboat, and with no
buffalo! A whole day was con-
sumed in getting back to the boat
and repairing the broken yawl.

BREMEN, Germany, April 18,
1908. At today's session of the
international anti-alcohol con-
gress, Mrs. Mary H. Hunt Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
union of Boston Mass, delivered
an address on the significance of
scientific temperance instruction
in public schools as a preventive
of alcoholism. She spoke in part
as follows:
The thraldom of alcoholism
can be overthrow only by, MAX
ing the masses intelligent in re
gard to the true nature of alcohol
and it's consequent effects upon
the human system. This re-
quires, first through scientific in
vestigation Of the alcohol problem
and, second, the widest diffusion
Of truths thus learned.
The people Of the. United
States believing that such diffus-
ion could best be effected through
public school instruction, secur-
ed between the years 1882-19O2
the passage of the state and ma
tional laws by which the study
of physiology and hygiene, in
Guiding special instruction as to
the nature and effects of alcoholic
drinks and other narcotics, be-
came mandatory for all pupils in
all schools Of the republic.
Temperance physiology has
thus been very generally taught
for 10 or Is years, and it is signi-
ficant that during this time the
rate of increase in the per capita
consumption of alcoholic liquors
has diminished materially; also
that there has peen a gain of four
and-one-tenth years in the
average length Of life. Thorough
investigation in the most popul-
GUS state, New York, shows that
the study is restraining children
from forming alcohol and other
narcotic habits and influencing
their parents against alcohol and
tobacco.
THE teachings that have. Sc
cured these gratifying results
are:
"First-The nature Of alcohol
and it's effects upon human econ
omy.
"Second-The physiological
reasons for obeying all laws OF
health, since unhygienic habits
often cause a crave for narcotics.
Careful grading shows that
the subject can be adequately
covered by a minimum of three
oral lessons per week for ten
weeks in each primary year, and
four textbook lessons per week
for 10 weeks in each of the five
' grammar years and the first yeal
of the high school. Thus, with
$50 lessons, a progressive devel
opmentis attained without crowd
ing other branches, during years
in which the formation of habits
is especially active.
