Ire Why and How Of Leap Year.

About AL tina, most of Us know con-
corning Leap Year, IS that It is the o2-
poTtunity OF the man who IS bashtui
and the maid who is not bashful; and
as such ne make Il the subject Of
cheerful j+sts and jib"s- Few CT US
have the slightest idea why it is that
every fourth year has one day more
than the years between, and fewer Sill
Of us have any idea Why this rule was
broken in 1900 50 that We have nor
Witnessed the longest time between

ever SEQ. Most Of Us are Intelligent

four without q remainder, except IL the
case OF the even hundred years. which.
although divisib!e by four. have only.
365 days as in III. common y'ears. The
root and reason OF these things is ex-
planned rs follows BY an astronomical
authority:
W-hea the G..::!snrs Of the present as
Economical, year were ~ work perfect
ing their ueu calendar, they discovered
that the solar day was not an exact
fraction OF ih.. solar year. The time
which IN. earth takes 70 complete q
circuit about the sun is 365 ana trifi,,
less than ore-fourth days. Jumping
the fraction of ~ one-fourth. these
Astronomical calendar makers called
3f5i. days Il Year. This fraction thy
provided for in the calendar by making
three "ort:iT.ary' years Of 800 even days
each and giving TO the fourth year the
accumulated three fractions which,
with its own fraction OF on--fourth
day. made An extra day for the long or
leap year. Thus very fourth year
is ordinarily 4 leap year. But the eX-
act fraction lacks 4 trine Of being one
fourth of ! day and the tri;,ing part
that is lacking each leap year is enough

Another kishinef Massacre?

There is co,lmotion among the Jews
throughout the civilized world. over
the rumor that there will b. another
bloody disturbance al kishineff, on the
day OF the Russian Christmas which
falls on January :. This feeling Is
only natural. in view of the frishtful
tragedy enacted in that Inflated city.
during the last Easter season. AS q
result of the trials recently concluded
in kishineff % or 80 Of the leaders in
the great mob which masslcred the
Jews have been convicted and SEN
fenced 10 terms in prision. The Jews
Seem TO fee! that the stir occasione1 by
these trials and resulting convictions.
will cause the friends of the imprisoned
leaders 10 take 4 bloody revenge upon
the jewish masses. when the next &C.
casion 70 celebrate Il holiday arrives.
It is sincerely to be hoped that there
is no good ground for this anticipation
Of trouble. The Jewish people in Rus
STA nave Ot-pl most Cruelty Married anu
oppressed, and they have learned from
experience 10 fear The worst from the
Russians during the church holidays.
But Il is hard TO see what can BE- ac-
complished BY the recent mass meet
ings OF Jewish residents Of New York,
begging this government to interc.d".
II is a pretty difficult matter foc one
government to interfere with mas
s2cre in the jurisdiction of another
government: before any such massacre
has taken place. The sympathy Of the
American government. and OF III"
American people. is with the oppressed
of all lands. but the United States could
hardly be expect. 10 interfere TO pre-
v.I.t demonstrations yet TO take place.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

II takes q good deal more work to make
fortune than reputation.
1t would be funny enough if woman
couldn't fool man when she can fool
herself.
When 4 boy tracks mud in his mothers
parlor and she doesn't box his ears il is j
sign the minister is calling on hc-.
What woman loves is to have 4 beau-
tifTl Christmas and then find il is i
dream Sc there is another still coming 10
her.
When 4 mans deceptiors seem to fool
his wife it is because she wants them
70.
a woman gets her first idea that man
is rcckleSsly brave because he shaves
himself with sharp razor.
The reason bachelors like to Be in love
with married women * they can DO IL
without having TO marry them
II is, much better for them 10 be III
stockings than just plain legs and better
still be able to see through them.
When TWO men want to marry the same
girl she can have lots of fun fooling each
about the other. while she is getting ready
