So, leap year has arrived, with the
privileges it entails, but listen to what
exaggeration the editor Of the Kalama-
700 Telegraph nasty thing sets forth
concerning it.:
Leap year is again with US, and the
women can get in their good work
that is, if they need any such occas on
as leap year. As matter Of fact the
average woman regards every year as
leap year. for it is undoubtedly true
that il the woman does not actually
pop the question she makes all due pre-
paration for it so that the crucial mo-
ment is brought about with as little diff
Guilty as possible. In other words, she
paves the way. From her acquaintance
she choose one who from the point of
social position. worldly goods, or person
al charm appeals to her and arouses
her admiration. With deep design and
grim determination in her eye she
goes after him" and woe be to the
poor chap if he tries to resist her adj
yances. He must calmly submit for he
is doomed. OF course he has to pro-
pose. What else is left for the helpless
victim TO do? Perhaps it's all over be
fore he knows it and then he's bound
by his honor to cultivate a liking for it.
The days when the male entered the
camp Of his desired bride killed her
parents and dragged her off with him
by the hair of her head are so far in
the dark ages that they are considered
as myths. The days when chivalry de-
maaded that the brave and gallant
knight must fight for his "ladye faire
and prove to her his daring that she
might submit and allow herself to be
overcome by his bravery are now re-
/ garded only as pretty fairy tales The
'this-is-so-sudden" of half century
ago is so out of date that a girl who
now blushed and said il would be con-
sidered as an antique and curiosity and
/ treated as such.
The day is not far when once a cen
fury mayhap the men will be given the
privilege which is rightfully theirs and
viii have the opportunity to pop the
question, until that day comes let us
submit gracefully TO the dear things
and let them have their way-as usual.

unromantic friendships that exist in America between boys and girls, who see each other under all sorts of in- formal circumstances and yet need have no thought of love or sentiment. He thinks the American girl has had long experience in the ways of men, and she is as we'll versed in the man. her of lovers as the experienced mar ried flirts of Parisian and Roman so- ciety. Used to men she is, but not to the sort of men she meets for the first time abroad She is used to the type of boy that she has known all her life." She can fathom what he thinks on pretty much any subject, and whether he is in love with her or not is a matter that she can decide with out much danger of mistake. Above all. the American youth is outspoken and frank He has no hidden or ul- terior motives; he spends little time in discussing what he thinks. He likes best to show his muscle and his skill in athletics, and the intimacy between boys and girls is founded on doing things together, riding, swimming, playing tennis, or coasting and skat- ing: not in talking of ideas
 Yet-and this Is very important and also very difficult to express: In the minds of American young men love and marriage are synonymous. To the European. love Is love, and marriage is marriage; the two have not of ne- cessity any connection.

Mir. HoweIIs on Problems of Gardening

w. D. Howells, in Harper's Magazine for
 March.
 We knew of case no longer ago than last summer, in which the gardener bought seedman's last dozen of egg plants, which he duly set out in his plot, and which f1ourished with uncommon promise up to the blossoming moment, all looking alike and unmistakably eggplants. But at this point they differentiated them- selves; five continued eggplants and seven turned aside and became petunias. They became, indeed, very beautiful petunias, delicious in fragrance, rare in form, and most delicate and novel in color; but, after all, they were not eggplants. The seedman of whom they were all bought. being appositely reproached, justly re- marked that the gardener who supplied them must have gotten them mixed. Sometimes this sort of mixture begins further back, with the very seeds them selves. We knew of another case Of Ike character, but more intense disappoint- ment. A summer cottager had sent for ward his seed, and hg' his garden made by certain seafaring natives, months be- fore he arrived to hoe his vegetables, as his wont was, with his own hands. Then, one morning he discovered that his melon vines, whose vigor and agility he had ad- mired sfrom the first, had set some in- stances of their luscious fruit. He called the critic of all his enterprises to re- joice with him, which she did; but after more narrowly viewing the melons she asked: What makes them so long?' Why" he said, they are the long kind. You know I sent some banana melon seed with the rest, and these are the young. banana melons" They both rested con- tent in this belief for a fortnight longer, and then the truth insisted upon itself; those infant banan-melons were no mel ons, but cucumbers.

KAISER IS A FREQUENT
 VISITOR AT CHANCELLOR'S

capable of stating it's salient features in few words, pregnant with meaning. The Kaiser listens attentively, asks a few sharp questions and usually decides on the spot.
 TO facilitate the business of his con- ference with the Chancellor the Kaiser dspenses, for the time being, with the rule that he, and he alone, can give the cue to every theme of conversation. Aside from the Chancellor at these con ferences, and at these only no German is permitted to suggest any subject whatever in the Kalsers presence. If William is not doing all the talking all the time he reserves the right to domi- nate the conversation at all times
 When the Kaiser is absent from Der lin he communicates with Prince Bue- low by telephone if possible, by cipher dispatches if telephoning is out of the question. When commencing telephon- ic communication the Kaiser says, "Ich befehle.' l. e., q command" which is equivalent to notice that the telephone is in imperial hands and that it is closed to all other business. This is the most rigidly observed rule in the German telephone service.

Berlin, Feb. 29.-It is much remarked in Berlin that the Kaiser oftener visits his Chancellor than his Chancellor calls at the Palace--this, whether Prince Bue- low is sick or we'll As rule the Elm peror's chasseur rings the bell at a small gate leading into the garden enind the chancellory at 10 sharp in the morning.
 The gatekeeper opens briskly, and the Emperor looking neither to the right nor left, walks up the smooth path with a quick step, and soon shakes hands with Prince Buelow, wno Is waiting for him at the vestibule door There Is d nasty How do you do. and How is Mad anna the Princess?" and then, without any preliminaries. the Kaiser begins to talk "shop," that is the political news of the day
 Before going to the Chancellor's palace the Kaiser has read all the important newspapers In his head he has the gist of the dispatches received by the early mails, while his coat pocket usually con- tains a number of clippings relating to current events.
 Of course Prince Buelow is well pre- pared as William himself, for he Is as early a riser as his Imperial Majesty. After the Kaiser has delivered himself of all he has to say, and there is good deal of it usually, he abruptly puts some such question as And what were you about to say to me when 1 came in?"
 The Chancellor then produces a pad of yellow paper, half a dozen or more pages of which are inscribed to the ex tent of a few lines, leaving blank space below. These constitute questions of the day, awaiting the Imperial de- cision.
 The Chancellor is a most insinuating tall1er, grasping his subject boldly and
