The hair is one of the greatest promoters of

knowledge and consequent carelessness is the
cause of the great amount of badness, prema-

alone cannot be depended upon to promote the
health of the head and the proper functions of

the other organs of the body do. And in my

WILL BE LEAP YEAR.
Bissextlle Day on the goth OF
February.

Owing to what apparently is an in
congruity on the part of our forefathers
away back in the early centuries who
divided up time and apportioned the
weeks, months and years, the girls were
cheated out of their leap year preroga-
tives four years ago, which year should
have been leap year by natural COM
putation but which was not according
to the calendars. Now, however, four
more years have slipped by, nearly I'M
noticed, it might be said, and in the
natural order of events a new year is to
be born-and it is to be sure-enough
leap year this time without fail. No
doubt some of the young ladies who
were too young eight years ago to in
terest themselves in such trifies as leap
year, land who will be too old to care
much when another leap year or two
has glided by are laying their plans to
make the best use of the coming twelve
months and the liberties they will
afford which were denied in common
years.
| A word about the rules which regu-
late the years in this regard may be Of
interest. Everybody knows that leap
year comes every fourth year, which
leaps over day more than common
year, the exta day being added to the
second month which ordinarily has but
% days. But every year that is divis-
IDLE by four is not a leap year after all.
The full centuries, to be leap years,
must be divisible by 400 without leaving
a remainder That is why 1900 was a
common year and why the girls were
disappointed.
While the above facts are we'll known
there are probably few who can
account for them. Noah Webster ex-
plains matters in the following derini-
ton which he gives to the world
"Bissextile;" which is SYNONYMOUS OF
"leap year
"The sixth of the calendars Of March
or twenty-fourth day of February, which
was reckoned twice every fourth year
by the inter calation of day. Every
fourth year in which day is added to
February on account of the excess OF
the tropical year, 1865 days, 5 hours, 40
minutes and 40 seconds) above 365 days
But one day added every four years
which is II minutes, Ia seconds more in
excess of the real year. Hence it is
necessary to suppress the bissextile
day at the end of every century which
is not divisibleEs by 400, while it is re-
tanned at the end of those which are
ldivisible by that number.
From the above explanation it will be
seen that there will be no suppression
OF the bissextile day for more than ter
centuries, or, to be exact 1906 years, az
the fiscal year of the twenty-frst cen
fury is divisible by 400.

month during the exposition and at
tending the fair somewhat similar to
the way party from Corydon attended
the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893.
At that time party of fifty Corydon
people was formed and rented furnish
ed house in Chicago for month paying
for the same $500. The party was di-
vided into two parties, one going for
the first two weeks and the other party
for the last two weeks. A lady was
taken along to do the cooking for the
party. This seems to have been a very
satisfactory way of seeing the fair to
those who were Of the party besides
the cost was much less and the accom-
modations much better. We understand
that there are arrangements now being
made to rent house in ST. Louis and
