1900 Not a Leap Year.
The last year, 1896 was a Leap
Year; such a year will not occur again
for‘eight years. This arises from the
year 1900 having been specially ex-
cluded by Pope Gregory. together with
1700 and 1800, as in his adjustment of
the calendar three genuine Leap Years
laid to be deprived of their rights. The
years selected were those of the cen«
turies which were not divisible without
remainder by 400.

Some one hasmade a pair of scales
which will give you the exact weight
of an eyelash. If you place in the one
balance a piece of plain paper and in-
the other a similar piece, but with an
autograph 011 it in lead pencil or ink,
the scales will instantly show the dif-
ference in weight.—Tid-Blts.

Gifts to Chicago After the’ Fire.
The cash contributions for the benefit
of the sufferers of the Chicago fire in
1871 amounted, within a month after
the disaster, to $4,200,000, and the con-
tributions in the way of supplies, food,
clothing and other necessaries to per-
haps as much more.
The Last of a Cruel Punishment.
The last instance of boiling to death
took place in Persia in 1890. The of-
fender was guilty of stealing State
revenues, and was put into a caldron
of cold water, which was slowly
heated to the boiling point. His bones
were distributed as a warning among
the provincial tax-collectors.
Beauty and other Beasts.
“Beauty is only skin deep,” said the
zebra, with an attempt to liven up the
gloom of the menagerie. “I know it,”
said the rhinosceros; “that's where I
come i':.1.”~—-Ii‘rom Pick-Me-Up.

QUEEN’S JUBILEE.
OUR ENGLISH COUSIN IS LEARNING
TO ENTHUSE AMERICAN FASHION.
Great Preparations for the J 11118 Celobra— .
tion in London—Windows Along- the
Line of Parade are Selling for Fabulous
Prices—All Nations Will Honor Yictoria.
It wil no longer be possible to call
our English cousin—the Anglo Saxon——
a. phlegmatic, cold hearted, unentbu-
2iastic fellow. During the closing years
of‘his sovereign’s reign the Britisher
has several times been called upon to
display a degree of sympathy and an
exuberance of feeling which he was
never supposed to possess, and in each
instance he has risen to the Occasion
with all the abandonment of the
Frenchman and Italian.
It was in 1887 that the staid British-
er first learned to unloosen himself and
set a portion of his spirit free in big
subscriptions, in animated discourse,
in great crowds, in fanciful decorav
tions and in loud huzzas.
The occasion, of course, was the
golden jubilee of Her Majesty the
Queen, who had reigned serene and ir-
reproachable over her loyal subjects
for fifty years. Perhaps such an event
was the only one that could force the
subject to forsake his usual aspect of
calm self- satisfaction, coupled with a
dignity of mien which makes John
Bull the most unapproachable chap in
Europe. . , »
' QUEEN VICTORIA.
The English, however, have changed
all that and cast reserve to the winds
since that memorable day, June 22,
1887, when the Queen made her tri-
umphal progress from Buckingham
Palace to Westminster Abbey. The
route was from the palace up Constitu-
lion Hill to Hyde Park corner, down
Piccadilly to Regent street, “'aterlow
Place, Pall Mall, East Cockspur street,
Northumberland avenue, Thames Em-
bankment and Bridge street to the
Abbey.
Descriptions of the scenes along the '
route tell how far the Britishers went
crazy with joy and enthusiasm. One
continuous roar of approbation marked
'lhc Queen’s slow progress, the lower
classes, from even the slums of Lon-
don. vieinngith the nobility and gen-
try in hurrahing and bubbling over
with joy. The Queen, accustomed
only to the sober deference of her sub-
lects, was at first quite taken aback,
and then hugely delightedwith the
enthusiasm she aroused, and kept her
royal head with its crown of diamonds
in a constant state of nod.
This lesson of unloosening once
learned has not been forgotten by the
London populace. Before the stirring
scenes of the golden jubilee were for-
gotten London was again in a ferment
of excitement last year over the com-
mencement of the sixtieth year of Her
Majesty’s reign, and was quite pre-
pared to repeat its jubilant antics of
ten years before had not the Queen
herself politely requested her subjects
to retain their exuberant spirits and
'wait until she had completed the six-
lieth year (if her reign, when she will
have broken the reigning record of 1111
previous sovereigns of Great Britain,
when they might let everything go.
The date of this glorious result of a
sound constitution and a tolerant Par-
liament will fall on June 2'2 next, and
already London is agog with excite-
ment as to what shall be done by way
of celebration and 110w it shall be done.
It is known that the great feature of
the occasion will again be the royal
progress through the streets and by
. the shops and homes of Her Majesty’s
loyal subjects. This time, however.
Ithe Queen will proceed to St. Paul’s
Cathedral to offer her thanksgivings
Instead of to Westminster Abbey.
Persons who own houses in Piccadil-
ly are in a frenzy of alarm lest the pro-
cession might turn down St. Ja’mes
and pay the great clubs on Paul Mail
the compliment of passing their por-
tals. It is more than likely, though,
that Piccadilly will be favored all the
way to Regent street. But, however
this may be, the prices of windows on
the Strand. Fleet street and Ludgate
Hill, through which the procession has
got to pass, are already fabulously
high.
Two hundred pounds f01 a window
six feet blood in the vicinity of St.
Paul's Cathedral is thought to be quite
reasonable,. and the London papers are
full of queries for and offers of adv-an-
tageous space for sightseers 011 the
same liberal scale.
Sites round St. Paul, especially on
the west side, where the cortege will
halt, are in special demand. Her Ma-
jesty is known to be so weak in her
:oyal' limbs that it is deemed impossi-
‘ole for her to walk up the steps which
surround St. Paul’s, and she is also so
averse to being carrieih in public that
it is shrewdly surm ‘ :d that she will
not leave her state riage at all, and
that whatever c nies are to be
performed at S s will be in the
open air by t- ’s carriage or in
y. canopy u 11 she might be

A11’1n"tné Family.
A few nights ago a prominent Evan‘
stonian, was working overtime on the
North Side, and when his business was
completed boarded a North Shore elec—
tric car for home. When the conduc-
tor requested fair the man jammed his
hands into his pockets and to his dis-
may discovered that he had only a
counterfeit dollar, which he had been
carrying for months. Ten miles from
home, and “broke” was the unpleasant
thought that flashed through his mind,
so he passed up the counte1feit coin
and received his change. Before the
car had travelled a mile the conductor
came around again and said: “Either
you or a lady inside gave me a coun-
terfeit dollar.” _
“It was the woman, of course,” re-
sponded the embarrassed gentleman;
“they are always doing such things.”
The remainder of the journey was
not very pleasant to the man who was
“beating” his ride at the expense of an
innocent woman. He left the car at
Lake street. and had started home on
1 brisk walk when he heard footsteps
behind him. Turning, he saw his wife,
who rushed up, and in the most morti-
fied tones said: “How I wish I had
known you were on that car. Th1 . 0011-.

counterfeit dollar, and made me give
him a new dollar before all those peo'
