would have nothing to do with 1t for
centuries. Anything from that anti
Christ" was damnable to them, and
they preferred to carry on their reck-
onings In the same old way. Besides,
the ignorant peasants thought they
were being cheated out Of 10 days or
II days, as the case might be, and they
even rioted for them. England. did
not adopt the Gregorian count until
1852, when it also became current In
America. That is why, on dates OF
that period, calculation must be made
for II days, for, as 100 passed with
out a leap year, it made one neces-
sary. George Washington, for in
stance, was born on February II, "old
STYLE" but he is remembered on Feb
ruary % now. Russia, Servia and all
countries which have the Greek church
never have adopted it, and they are
thus II days off to this day.
That Is the history and meaning OF
leap year. What records there are OF
the practice of letting women propose
then, are altogether too flimsy to reck-
on on at all. That is a custom almost
too old to talk about it. 1t Is current
almost everywhere, and it Is merely a
pretty sentiment. For 1t Is we'll
known fact that when a woman would
propose, she does it in any old year
and If she wants man and Is a smart
girl, she will get him II she has to
make him propose himself, in case she
doesn't want to-for any woman car
make any man ask her for herself, II
she half tries.-Kansas City Journal.

ElJIAN WALKERS.
Their Feet not Blistered by Heat That
Melted Solder.

Those who witnessed the coronation
procession will doubtless recollect a
small group Of copper colored soldiers
with bare legs and outstanding hair
innocent Of covering. These strange
people -Fijians-and their ancient GER
emony Of the Vilavilairevo, or fire
walking, were the subject Of a paper
read by w. L. Allardyce, c. M. g., at
meeting Of the Royal Colonial insti-
tute yesterday. Admiral Sir N. Bow
den-Smith presided.
The ceremony of fire walking, Mr
Allardyce explained, is performed by
certain tribe at the island Of Bega, and
originated in a legend that in reward
for having spared the life Of a man
he had dug out Of the ground. one TUT
Qualita was invested with the power
of being able to walk over red hot
stones without being burned. An earth
oven is made and filled with layers
of wood and stone. In this a fire is
kindled about twelve hours before the
fire walking takes place, and, when
the hot stones have been exposed by
brushing away the charcoal, the ma
tives, under the direction Of master
of ceremonies, walk over them bare
footed.
The temperature at the edge of the
oven is about 120 degrees Fahrenheit,
while on one occasion. when a ther-
mometer was suspended over the
stones, it registered 2S2 degrees and
the solder was melted. Yet stated
Mr.. Allardyce. after the ceremony the
natives show no signs Of the terrific
ordeal through which they have gone.
By means Of number Of views the
lecturer gave realistic idea Of the
ceremony as performed nowadays.

scribed q fire walking ceremony as

Too ANxIoUs.-Mrs. Barr, an elderly
Scotchwoman, had been seriously i'll for
weeks, during which time even the
members of her immediate family had
been excluded from the sickroom. AT
last, however she so longed to see
her relatives that it was deemed adVis-
able to admit them one at time.
When the moment for Mr.. Barr's visit
arrived the trained nurse cautioned
him against showing too much emotion
over his wife's changed appearance.
What YOU must do" said the nurse
"is to cheer her up. You must tell her
how much better she Is looking, what
nice color she has in her cheeks ana
how bright her eyes are. Above all
things, you must be cheerful
Mr.. Barr promised faithfully to say
the proper things, but when he ap-
preached the bedside and beheld the
pitiful ravages that illness had made
in Mrs. Barr's once plump countenance
he became so agitated that he forgot
the nurses caution and exclaimed In
the rich Scotch brogue that strong
emotion always called forth:
"Oh, Maggie. Maggie, woman, whaur
wad We like to be burrit?"
"Ye'n not gea chance to bury me
this time, William Barr" returned the
invalid, with unexpected spirit. You're
altogether too anxious"
It was afterward said that Mrs.
Barr's rapid recovery dated from that
moment.--Lippincott's Magazine.

THE WAYS OF A There

sentative "Tom" Kyle, the Sweet Sin
ger of Ohio" according to the New
York World, whose name is Doyle
He is politician and he has the fatal
habit of promising all things to all
men. Nobody ever went to him to
ask him to get him job that Doyle
did not say, "Why, yes. I'll get that
for you!"
Nine times out Of ten Doyle doesn't
make good, but he goes on promising
Just the same. Some years ago two
Irishmen who worked in boiler fac
tory in my town were busy riveting
One man was inside the boiler holding
a hammer against the rivets and the
other was outside swinging the sledge
and making the rivets fast.
After half hours steady pounding
the man inside stuck his head out OF
the boiler and said:
".Say, Pat, did ye hear that they've
been after maxim this man Corrigar
a cardinal"
".Are ye tellin' me?' asked Pat; Why
dye know, Doyle promised that job to
me?"

All Chin In,

i The estimates for the state depart
ment for this year call for $3.50 as our
annual proportion Of the expenses OF
Cape Spartel Light, on the coast OF
Morocco, including loss by exchange"
All travellers passing through the
Strait Of Gibraltar see Cape Spartel
Light, fronting the Atlantic ocean on
the south side Of the strait. 1t Is eight
miles west Of Tangier, and stands on a
cliff rising 500 feet above the sea.
| The government Of Morocco thought
it was very hardly treated when 1t was
compelled to build this lighthouse.
The other governments had requeste1
Morocco to build II as an aid to nav
igation, but Morocco bluntly refused.
Diplomatic pressure was then brought
to bear, and the leading commercial
nations at length induced the sultan
to build a lighthouse at Cape Spartel
The contract was given to French
firm, and the result is a fine and solid
piece of stonework.
The lighthouse Is noteworthy for the
remarkable manner in which 1t Is sup
ported. The agreement with Morocco
was that If the sultan would build a
| lighthouse the other nations woul
attend to its maintenance.
Ten governments, therefore, contri-
butte annually about 5000 apiece, and
this money pays for the services Of the
| lighthouse keeper and his assistants
and the oil and other materials needed
The consuls at Tangier form the board
Of lighthouse supervisors, and the Mo-
rocco government has nothing to dc
with the management.
Few lighthouses have so beautiful a
location. It Is the favorite picnic
ground of the European residents OF
Tangier.
From this elevation visitors may look
far out upon the ocean and see the en-
tire length Of the Strait Of Gibraltar

feated the French Spanish fleet In 1905

who took part in it showed no signs OF
discomfort, he remarked that appar-
entity they did not like 1t over much.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Allardyce
said the only explanation he could give
of the apparent immunity from harm
following on the process was that the
soles of the feet Of the natives were
hardened to an unusual degree through
constant walking on a sandy soil COW
ering coral. which became exceedingly
hot under the sun. There was also the
element of absolute belief by the ma
tives in the legend that they were proof

ONE ON JOHN KERNELL.-The late
John Kernell, the Irish comedian, liked
in his prime to go back to Ireland
whence he would often bring material
gathered in alehouses and on the high
roads, that afterward served him well
in dialogue upon the stage.
Kernell once said at little supper
party in Boston that he had met or a
summer day in Galway an Irishman
driving a horse so thin that it stagger-
ed as it walked.
why don't you put more flesh on
that nag?" Kernell exclaimed indig-
nantly.
More. Is it," the Irishman answer
ed. why, by the powers. don't you see
that the poor creature can hardly carry
what little there is on him now?"

But these same pontiffs, when they
put the calendar before the public
fixed leap year every three instead
Of every four years. This gave them
one day extra in IL years-a smart
trick for them. This error continued
until B. c., when Augustus said there
wouldn't be any leap year for IL years
more-which made the first leap year

But these II minutes and a few Sec

Matters ran along however, for 1,50O
years before things were so out OF

was discussed for 80 years then. and
