OLD LEAP YEAR LAWS.
When Women Proposed Six Centuries
Ago the Man Had to Accept,

When Women Proposed Six Centuries
Ago the Nun Had to Accept.
III two countries, ut least, and more
than 600 years ago laws were passed
which gave women the right Of propos-
Ing marriage. These enactmnnts went
even farther than this. They also stIp-
ulated that II the man wh.se hand
they Ind sought should uesuse be
should incur n heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient rec
ords Of Scotland discovered! an act of
the Scottish parliament, which was
passed In TIE year 1888, which runs eS
follows:
1t Is statut and ordaint tilnt during
the rein of his maist blissit Megcste, llk
Tor the years knowne as I1cpe Yeare,
ilk mnyden lndye Of baithc highe and
lowe estact shall hae liberte to bespoke
ye man she likes, albeit gif he refuses
to- talk lir to be his lawful WYE, he
shall be mulcted In yc sum Of anc dun
dis or less, rs his estait mny be, except
and avis gif he cnn make It appeare
that he Is betrothit anc ither woman,
he then shall be free"
A year or two luter law almost
similar to the Scottish enactment was
passed in Franco and received the ap.
proval Of the king. 1t is also said thut
before Columbus sailed on his famous
voyage to the westward similar privI-
lego was granted to tho mnldens of
Genoa and Florence,
There is no record extant of any
fines imposed under the conditions of
| this Scotch law and no trace of stats
tics regarding the number Of spinsters
who took advantage Of it or OF the sim.
liar regulations In France, but the Gus
tom seems to have taken firm hold
upon the popular mind about that time
The next mention Of It is dnted nearly
400 years later. and 1t Is curious little
treatise called Love. Courtsh:p and
Matrimony," which was published in
London In 1600. In this quaint wcrl,
the privilege" is thus alluded to:
| albeit it now becomes part Of the
common law in regard to 1ocinl rela.
tions Of life that. as often as every
lenp yen.e doth return. the ladyes have
the sole privilege during the time /,
contlnueth Of making love either by
wordes or lookes, no man will be en-
titled to benefit Of clergy who doth ir
any wise treat her proposal with sligh
or contumely.~
Up to within about century ago i
was one Of tho unwritten lnws Of leaI
year that If n man should decline ,
proposal he should soften tie disap
pointment which his ansver woul,
bring about by the presentation Of ,
silk dress to the unsuccessful suito
for his hand,
a curious leap year superstition |.
still to be met with in some parts o.
New England, and that is that during
leap year lthe 'bcans grow on th,
] wrong side oc the pod"

Making a Name For tiimsoif.

A New York business man SAYS
that he once had in his employ as
office boy lad named Magillicud-
dy. Naturally enough, this young
ster received SO many joking refer
ences about his name from his fel-
low employees that he became ex-
tremely dissatisfied with it. So
when he applied for a place under
another employer in the building he
evidently decided to bestow> u new
name upon himself. When the man
to waom he applied asked him his
name the boy replied:
"Robert Recapitu!st;o1,"
'Traaat's an odd narae," said the
man after having the lad repeat it
several times. -
The boy looked surprised.

The ldiotio Nostrunns In Which People
Oncs Believed.

II modern science can boast of
anything, it can of the way in which
it has rescued medicine from the
realms of imagination, says the Lon
don Standard. The wonderful pre-
scriptions of the Magi, as narrated
by the Roman historian, Pliny, arc
examples Of what the earliest doc
tors were, while even the "salvcss" of Il
our own Elizabethans seem ut first
sight not much of an Improvement
upon those Of the Chaldcan Nj. DPS.
Let us take a few examples of Ma
gian healing from Latin author, of
which perhaps the most useful is the
following-one that in modern par
lance would run thus: a recipe to
make women disclose their secrets.
Take one hen and, having carefully
extracted her heart, place the same
on the mouth of patient during
sleep. You will ascertain her exact
age the next morning. TO do the
old Roman justice he stigmatizcs
this statement as 'portentous lie."
(No doubt he had tried it.l
Others are quite as grotcsquc. Fe-
verfew, when used incidentally, had
to be plucked By the left hand, after
the patients name had been spoken
over it, the hcrbalist taking good
care not to look behind him. A love
charm could be easily obtained from
hyena caught when the moon was
in Gemini. Sporting prophets who
wish to excel in divination should
change their customary chop for q
few moles' hearts. It is stipulated
that these be fresh. The Romans
themselves, although no mean sur
geons-they made use of the probe
and nippers and instruments fol-
trepanning-were not less given to
prodigies than the people whose ve-
racity they doubted. They believed
that eating hare was a cure for in.
' somnia, and even the skeptic Pliny
!; imagined that there must be some
thing in the superstition that people
who had done so were good looking
! for nine days afterward. 4 verita-
BILE nine days wonder! He recon-
mended also, as a cure for quartan
; fever, that the dust in which hawk
had rolled should be put into bag
! and the latter tied around the neck
with a piece of red thread. Other
cures for this same were the longest
, tooth of u black dog, in the same po-
sition, and wasp caught in tho left
! hand and then pressed against the
| forehead.

Is familiar. It 1s caught for it's oil,
which is tried out In factories. Men
haden fishermen use purse nets, which
are tarred to preserve them. TO keep
Ehe!. hands from sticking to the tarred
nets they rub on them a frs.shly caught

the menhaden that the simple pressure
thus applied is enough to bring
