But February is chiefly noted Tor its
29th day, which occurs once in four years
thus producing what is known as "leap-
year. This name is derived from the
fact that in this year unmarried young
women are supposed to leap ferociouslv
upon eligible young men and drag them
shrieking to the altar. The open season
lasts an year and is Of great assistance
in Kidding the world Of bachelors.
An extra day every four years is a
great boon even if it is in February
and thus far little use Of It seems to
have been made. tt might be a good
plan to preserve the 10Th of February
as the day on which to read the gold
mining and coffee plantation circulars
which have accumulated during the pre-
,eding four years.
