be seen that the calendar which tltS
this wear would not have fitted any
wear since 1880. We may naturally
ask how many calendars we must
have to fit all years, excluding the
year number. and how long we must
keep them before they can be used
egain. We must have seven calen-
dars for ordinary years, with Janu-
ary l falling on each of the seven
days of the week. We must also have
seven for leap years, with January 1
falling on each day of the week.
These fourteen calendars will fit all
conditions. They are not, however,
used with equal frequency. The or
der of their use is also irregular. Or
dinarily each of the ordinary calen-
dars would be used once in seven
years and the leap-year calendars
once in twenty-eight years. This
period of twenty-eight years, found
by multiplying the week cycle or sew
en- days by the leap-year cycle of
four, is called the solar cycle. After
this interval the calendars repeat
themselves in the same order, except
when the interval of .twenty-eight
years includes a century year which
is not a leap year, such as 1900. That
is, if we had twenty-eight calendars
printed in order like the pages of a

THIS FEBRUARY TO
HAVE FIVE SUNDAYS

AS this is leap year, the month OF
February contains twenty-nine days.
As the month begins on Sunday,
there are five Sundays. While about a
fourth of the months contain tlve
Sundays, it is an uncommon thing
for February to have five. Since there
are exactly four weeks in February
in ordinary years, there can be fVe
Sundays in month IN leap year on
ly, and then only when the first day
, of the month falls on Sunday. Since
the first day of the month can fall
upon any one of the seven days OF
the week and since leap years are
usually four years apart, it will be
seven times four, or twenty-elght
wears, between the years in which
there are five Sundays in February.
The wear 1900, however, being a
century year, not exactly divisible by
400, was not a leap year. For this
reason the interval has been longer.
Eighteen hundred and eighty was the
last time when February contained
five Sundays. Thus persons under
forty years of age have not seen a
February with five Sundays and per-
sons under sixty-eight have seen but
one. In the future the event will

before breakfast, glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate In it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,

MONTANA RANCHER
KILLED, PRESUMABLY
BY HIS OWN son

Bisbee, N. d., March Elf
George Killer, ST., OF this locality
can find a certain spot outlined
on q rough pencil -drawn map,
and If the man who drew the
map was not wandering in his
mind when he did tho drawing,
he (Mr. Klier) will be richer by
several thousands of dollars.
The letter accompanying the
drawing received last week by
Mr.. Killer was from an old man
dying in q hospital In Illinois.
The letter states that the old
man was one OF the Forty
ntneT and in company with
others was on his way home
from California with a large pot
Of gold when they were all driv.-
en- from their course by a band
Of Indians. In order not to lose
their gold they buried it and
finally escaped without injuries.
Years and years afterward,
the letter says, an effort was
made to find the gold, but as ono
Of the party had died in tho
meantime. and as another one
was in jail for an old crime, the
effort failed.
The map would indicate that
tho gold is buried some place on
tho Killer farm close to the in
tersecton of the section lines,
and q search Is being made for
It. Mr.. Killer does not know how
much faith to put in the story.
but the effort to find the treasure
Is deemed worth white.

 The vice-president assailed the re. publican congress for it's work during the last year, declaring it has "laid Its hands upon nothing and has thought of nothing save a policy to prevent during an unprecedented scarcity of manufactured products the dumping of foreign made goods or our markets as an oblation to the great god protection that he will not permit the lowering of prices lest 300 per cent stock dividends may nc longer be declared and thus the work ing men be put upon an equality with the pauper labor of Europe"
