ALWAYS LEAP YEARp
Woman Says They Always Propose,
But Men Don't Know

"That woman may propose in leap year
is the usually quoted rule, but as matter
of fact, women don't propose then more or
any less than during any other year, for
they usually do the proposing, no matter
how many days there are in February"
This remark was made by woman in
the Waldorf Astoria on last Friday at the
close to club meeting, who expressed her
opinions freely, but insisted that she be not
quoted.
"Men may think that they do the pro-
posing" she continued, "and they do, SO
far as the formal words are concerned, but
the woman has planned and arranged for
that proposal long in advance, and has done
all that was necessary to lead up to it. 1t
is never 80 sudden as she makes out.
"Women invite men to propose, and it
is perfectly proper that they should do so
if their affection prompts it. The fact is,
men are often more delicate in love affairs
than women. All of you married women
have experienced that. They will make the
most gentle advances and be ever so sensi
tive to the response, no matter what it may
be. IF they are encouraged they proceed,
and if they are not they back away grace
fully. A woman is quite keen in seeing
when man begins to love her and after
that she does the rest.
"Women don't stop for leap year or
wait for leap year, for they are the same
every year and encourage man slove when
they want it, and though they don't tell
him in words to propose they tell him in
language that he cannot misunderstood. .

THE THINGS TO EAT.
Mans Anatomy Suggests Fruit
Diet as tho Most Suitable.

Those who do not want to rank az ex,
tremists will do well to eschew the glandu-
lar organs, such as sweetbreads and liver
to pin their faith to mutton and one or two
kinds of fish, to give up coffee and drink
weak China tea. Those who wish TO go
further should reflect first that man is
neither carnivorous nor herbivorous. For
long scientists have obscured the view by
useless arguments as to whether or not a
man was meant to live like COW.
There are other species than the flesh
and grass eating animals. All students OF
comparative anatomy know that teeth of
human beings are identical with those OF
the frugivorous apes, who live on fruits and
nuts. Not only so, but the proportion of
bowel length to body length in man cores
ponds exactly with that in the same species
in marked contrast to what obtains In all
carnivorous animals where the bowelis pro-
portionally short.
A study of anatomy therefore suggests
fruit diet as the most suitable. Further
confirmation is afforded by the obvious
prediction of nearly all children for such
food. The best fruits for food are apples,
bananas, grapes, nuts, dates, raisins and
figs.
Nuts are especially valuable owing to the
large amount of fat they contain. The
old fashioned idea that they are indigestible
is due partly to the error in taking them at
the end of an already more than ample
meat meal and partly to insufficient masti-
cation. Chestnuts are the easiest to digest
and make an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken, always remembering
that stone fruits sometimes disagree and that
acid fruits should be taken i'll moderation.
Strawberries contain considerable amount
of purins and should be avoided by all with
gouty or rheumatic tendency. Among
fruits we include those of the cereals, such
as wheat and rice White bread is free
from purin, but brown bread contains a
varying amount derived from the husk j..
The most wholesome form of bread is un-
leavened.

CARE OF LOAN ROADS.
From Time To Time They Shoul Be
Plowed and Cultivated.

Loan roads are so widely different from
gravel. macadam and other roads we have
to to deal with, that they occupy class al
most by themselves. 1t is quite essential,
in the repair of these roads, that from time
to time they should be turned over with
the plough and cultivated, not only by
ploughing deep, but also using the harrow
after ploughing, removing the stones that
will have a tendency to make future trou-
BILE and placing them sufficiently back on
the margins SO that there will be no posi-
bility of their rolling down into the cutters
and obstructing the water courses as we
often find them doing in our highway work,
says the New York State Highway Com
missioner. 1t is as necessary to cultivate
these roads, as I have suggested, as 1t is
to cultivate the land inside the fences.
Wherever any road has soil that is full OF
water with a tendency to mire up in the
spring and fall, the loosening of the soil will
have a tendency to let the heat penetrate
and not only warm the soil and assist in
evaporating the excess moisture, but 1t
will also be valuable adjunct in making
the soil light and friable and thus, in time,
completely remove it from a miry condition.
Weeds and grass, which are of so much
annoyance and disadvantage to road, will
respond economically in retaining its form,
and be dry, pleasant and convenient for
travel
A heavy loan road after it has been
properly underdrained and culverts estab-
lished where necessary, can be wonderfully
improved by putting on a course of sand
in the early spring. This should be dis
tributed over the entire road and either
narrowed in, so that the sand may become
thoroughly incorporated with the loam, or
Just put it on the road and let the teams
or ordinary travel work it through. The
narrowing, of course, would be better, but
the road can be wonderfully assisted in
becoming dry by putting the sand on and
allowing the teams to do the rest. The
sand and the loan make very good COM
bination, and the result will be that the
miry condition formerly experienced will
quickly disappear.

INSULTS TO ROYALTY.
Some Of the Things That Constitute
Leze Majesty In England.

Many people think that leze majesty
giving insult to royalty-is not crime in
Great Britain. The English statute books,
however, contain many penalties for such
offences.
Placing postage stamp on letter up
side down is punishable offense, as is
also the DETACHMENT of coin bearing the
royal image. This is insulting the king S
efigy.
Private individuals may not raise the
royal standard over their dwellings. This
is the emblem of the regal authority to be
displayed only where the king is present
While an agitator may talk against roy
atty in the abstract as much as he chooses,
contemptous or insulting personal references
to the reigning sovereign opens the offender
to heavy fine and imprisonment.
The slightest slap upon the face OF the king
or queen-or any otherpart of the anatomy,
for that matter-is punishable with the
death penalty. In the reign of Queen
Victoria Lieutenant Page struck her across
the face with his cane. He was sentenced
to death, but the queen commuted his
sentence.
It is likewise crime to bring the uniform
of the sovereign into contempt. To garb
a comedian or villain of the stage in
discarded uniform of the army or the navy
is sufficient to bring heavy censures from
the government For this reason theatrical
manager usually see to it that the uniforms
worn are not exactly copies ofthe real things.

When Life Was Little Valued.

The 223 capital offences which the old
English law recognized as punishable by
death did not keep down crime, and with
the abolition of the death penalty for all
crimes but murder, crime in England, as
well as everywhere else all over the world
where the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston Trav-
eler.
Edmond Burke said that he could in his
time obtain the assent of the house of COM
mons to any bill that carried the death
punishment.
A mans life was not very valuable in
those strenuous days. If he scratched his
name on Westminster bridg dge, ifhe wore a wig
or false mustache or any other disguise on
a public road, if he cut down ayoung tree,
if he stole property worth more than 81. %,
if he had been transported for crime and
returned day ahead of the expiration of
his term punishment, if he wrote threat
ening letter, if he stole hide from tan
ner's, for any and all of these things and
for 200 more than these he was hanged by
the neck until he was dead.

Fence 1000 Miles Long.

In West Australia, after five years work,
the great transcontinental rabbit-proof fence
has been completed. Its length is 2, 036
miles and the cost of its erection has been
nearly 81, 215, 600.
It is furnished at intervals of five miles
with systems of traps, in which hundreds of
rabbits are captured and destroyed daily.
On the eastern side of the fence the
animals are teeming and vegetation is almost
completely absent. Inside the barrier there
appears as yet no trace of their presence.
