Boston can very well do without the reputailou of llavIiiw originated the manufacture of rum fiut there has been it time in Now England history when rum had a better reputation as a bev- erage than is now accorded it. The early new England clergy re- garded it as a reviver mid strengthener on festive occasions, when made into the the form of ftp and toddy. Dr. Holmes with this recollection in mind celebrated its virtues in his lines to a punchbowl. Tho late Judge Thompson who was a wit convulsed the members of the Mas- sacltusetts Legislature in one ot his speeches on the temperance question by declaring that the heroic age of New England was the time when rum was sola at three cents a glass. -Boston Her- ald. Not a. Leap Year. A good many people are at a loss to understand why the year 1000, being divisible by 4, will not he a leap year. It may he explained briefly that the solar year adopted in B. C. 46 by Cresar in place of the year based on the moon's changes contain 305 days. But the actual period is 365 days and a fraction roughly called a quarter, but which is really 5 hours, 40 minutes and 12 seconds, To take up this quarter and make the civil year agree with the sun year, one day is added in every four. But one day in four is too numb, there being less than a quarter day to spare on each year. Therefore the Gregorian calendar drops the extra day in three out of four of the century years, that is to say a century year is a leap year only when omitting the ciphers it can be divided by four without a remaind- er. Thus 1600 was a leap year, 1700, 1800 and 1900 are common years and 2,000 will be a leap year. lli:u �l 'lciint2s in I ann,S. Handsome HAND-WOVEN' HAMMOCKS Rugs and ARE THF. Ban You SHUOLD Door Mats.

"In novels," he says, "the small com- plaints do not even exist. No one gets quinsy, or shingles, or mumps in a Think TI Ohlla having eT the is ofA rlt1T 1 b novel. g mumps and Edwin catching them trona her! Both with preposterously swollen cheeks, but as loving as ever ! Heart disease," he says, "is common, but then heart disease, as we know it, is usually the sequel ot some foregoing disease, of, which we never hear anything in the romance. "Then there is the mysterious malady called brain fever, which always attacks the heroine after a crisis, but which • is unknown under that name to the text- books. People when they are overex- cited in novels fall down in a tit. In a fairly Targe experience I have never known anyone to do so in real life. All the diseases, too, belong to 'the upper- most part of the body, The novelist never strikes below the belt." -Chicago Elite. The Governor of Kansas, in the, January North American, draws an awful picture of the condition of the Kansas fanners. To begin with, the aggregate of the real estate ntorta,ges on farms in the State is $107,000,000, while the liens on chattels amount to $47,000,000 more and 10,(00 people are ,driven out of house and home every year I fore- closure. Nor is there any prospect, of iulpl ve- ment. Prices are low and th en-• dency is still downward. To produce a bushel of wheat costs fifty cents, and the selling price is only forty cents. Twenty-five years ago two bushels of grain produced $5; now twelve bushels will not yield the same sunt. A few years since 'a good horse would fetch $75; now `eight horses will not bring wort than the same amount. No wonder the farmers of the Western States are SO ready to move across the border into the Canadian North -Nest. In the Matter of John B.

In a critical article on the Gibbon Centenary, the Speaker, of London, thus criticizes the style of the great historian : "Gibbon, it hag been fre- quently observed, had no philosophy of history. He makes plenty of shrewd observations, mostly ot' a sub -acid char- acter, but these rather deal with human weaknesses than with essential truths. Tho man of the world is perpetually de- lighted with Gibbon's by, -play ; but the good fellow who reads history because lie wants to penetrate the future and foretell the course of events closes his Gibbon sadly, and wonders Whether the Tlading of it has made the reader ally the "'--°.r• He may even push his scepticism so Tia tis to inade the dwr ter whether the e rtting wiser. lGibbon thought the age of Conquerors was over. Had he only taken decent caro of him- self he would have lived to see Napo- leon Bonaparte, a warrior worthy of a whole chapter to himself He did live to witness the Frenoh Revolution, and it simply took his breath away, which, when recovered, was only ,employed to protest against the disfranchisement of Old Sarum. Had Gibbon put much of his philosophy into his history he would have sunk the ship." -Literary Digest. Norelea ou Success In Opera. MARRIAGES.

All overdue subscriptions must be paid at the rate of $1.50 a year after the 1st of February, 1895 Up to that date we will accept $1.25 a year for back subscriptions and all unpaid ac- counts at that date will bo placed in Court for collection at $1.50 a year. Agents in every locality will be allowed the usual commission on NEW subscribers, but on OLD subscribers only the actual cost for correspondence and in remitting money. Few papers in the Province give as much space to local mat- ters or spend as much money on a purely home produc- tion as does THE NEWS -RECORD.

As in business ninety men out of a hundred are said to fail, so in art may the same proportion be• found. So many of those who aspire to the highest success fall by the wayside. But I am a great believer in invincible will, and to those who possess this quality, together with the requisite talent, .suc- cess is Certain. It would bo useless to try to discourage such people even if one wanted to. But I have no such desire. On the contrary, I would advise all girls who are desirous of following operatic careers to study hard and to be obser- vant of everythin"• connected with the operatic stage. Nothing. in connection with either the music or the stage can be too trifling to be,. studied -the very smallest details must be mastered be- fore any success can be attained. And I would counsel them not to be discour- er ed by the adverse criticisers of over- critical critics, nor to allow themselves to be encouraged and elated by the en- thusiams of over sanguine friends. There are plenty of chances for success in a musical career at the present time.

Business men in all lines of trade like to conduct their business so its to bring a living return. In fact it is beyond common reason to attempt to do any- thing else. Customers are numerous, but the great difficulty, its a rule, is to secure the clauss that is required --people who buy and pay for what they get. The business man who does not advertise must expect to take a second place. And the adertiser must he honest and carry out exactly what he places in- print if he expects to retain old customers or secure new ones. are fishing for trade, To those whoa ( desire to re- tainor the business men �vho cl e t t stomet•s we would saythat old c i THE News-REcoRn is certainly the medium to tank to the people through.

LATE LITERARY NEWS. An old-fashioned sea story full of interest and adventure, with a strong love motive, is begun by W. Clark Russell in the January Cosmopolitan. "Ouida" succeeds Froude, Gosse, Lan g, and other distinguished writers with an instalment of the "Greet Passions of History" series, which has been appearing in The Cosmopolitan. A discussion is aroused by Mr. Edward Bok's article on "The Young Man and The Church," which will consume tons of ink before it is settled. Just pre- ceeding the famous Chitrcot's death he prepared an article for The Cosmopoli- tan on Pasteur, to he published after Pasteur's death. Bit Charcot has died first., and so with the consent of Charcot's executors, the article is given now. The present "Theatrical Season in New York" is critically considered by Mr. James S. Metcalfe, editor of Life, and there are stories hy Tourgee, Howells, and the famous French writer Francois Coppee. A. M. T leasse- D MARKET REP ORTS. (Corrected every- Tuesday afternoon. aLINTON.
