Mow the Government Promises to Elevate the Masses. Working people and prohibitionists will applaud the action of the Rus - Wan governutent, which is preparing te give vast popular festivals in eighty provinces. The working people will be delighted with the low price a ad-, naission, while prohibitionists will re- joice because no alcoholic liquor will be sold at them. The goYernnient closed a vast number of lialOone re. eently, in which very bad. liquor was sold. • ' These enter tainments, which will occur at frequent intervals, are deeigned to introdulce healthier and more intellectual habits of life and thought among -the people. The ad- mission will be only ten kopecks. Ilhe idea is taken frona the Greeks, whese ancient games are .still fenious. en St. Feterstraeg the Committee of Management will apend not less than two million feancs and hi Warsaw half • miliion francs, At one of these festivals there will be !lie military orelleatras; a circus, a bellet, a pan- tomine, a theatre of •marionettes, exhibition of photegraphs with ex- planations, lectures on popular sub- plots •by well known meo, dances in several ballroonas and a performance of a 'popular comedy or tragedy. Once the speceatoes bieve entered the greet building ill , which these entertain- ments. are being given they may go. to which' they pleaee. 'They can buy chocolate or tea at two centimes' a cup,. but they nannot buy alcoholic liquor. • Some of the buildings in Which these popular festiyals are to be held will aecommodate fifteen thousand 'peo- ple, and even in the poorest districts they will be large enough to accommo- date all who desire to attend. SAVED BY THE S/GN. A curious story of Freetaasonry being told in connection with the dis- apter of Majuba Hill in the last Boer war. A slightly wounded British com- missariat °Meer was being covered by the rifle of a Boer sharpshooter, when the former made a mitts,onic sign. The Boer lowered his rifle and, stepping over to the otner, made him a pawner, but treated him in a specially hospit- able fashion. as a brother member of the craft. The commissariat man as- certained that Mr. Kruger and General anubert were also Freemasons. CARING FOR VEILS, The beauty and freshness of a veil oan be preserved for a Jong time. if it is properly oared, tor. After wear- ing it should be smoothed out careful- ly and rolled between paper or over a rod.

Over the room in whioh he eat. When tbey had broken it up. "S000ped it out." We cannot of tell certainly how this. par- ticular roof was made,' but roofs are found in Palestine made of a Combin- ation of mortar, tar, ashes, and sand rolled hard. Sometimes underneath this stone slabs, or, es one of the evan- gelists calls them, " tiles," are laid across joists, and the earth put lin these slabs. Of ten grass grows on roofs, $o that it ivoulld be easy to break up a roof, and not diffioult to mend it. Let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy slay. Out the bed was hardly more than a rug. Bed- steads are not used in the Orient. 5. Wben Jesus saw their faitb. He saw the evidences of it. What faith these men had in Jesus consisted sim- ply in their confidence in his power to heal. It was worth all the &Image to tbe roof, which, of course, they must repair, and all tbe anger of the crowd they jostled ; it was worth the utmost inconvenience to them- selves, if they could only get their sick friend to Jesus. From our vantage-geound in the noonday of the Gospel this faith items onsptritual and of low .grade. But the highest spiritual faith has just such begin- ntngs. • 1VIoreover, faith cannot long continua without faithfulness ; the two are indivisible, "Their" doubt- less inoludes the sick man is well as his PM= bearers, for, as Dr. Abbott soya, they would scarcely haft% carried him to Christ againat his will.

"Child." • Jesus was very possibly younger than kthe man he healed ; but his great power of healing turned him into a fatherly benefactor. Thy sins be forgiven thee. These words surprised everyone who neard them. the infirm man had been laid at the Saviour's feet not for forgiveness, but for cure. The Pnarisees were dives" ed to criticise such an assumption as our Lord here makes. But he raay have seen in the man's heart a peni- tence and receptivity so great as to require the first exercise of divine power. • 6.

Our of :These erit hood tatereala Not many persons are equiPPed io newer the Puzzling questions whiela have hlready begun to be put aa to why the present year is not a leap Year. Leap year, as everybody knows, oerfirra once in four yetlea. It le four yetta's bince the last one. Then WhY elmethal the " lettpe' be missing from 1000? Here le the simPle solution. Of coturse it is not extretly true that there are 963 days in the year. As 'a matter of fact, the number is 865.- 242256. This amotitata almost to an ex,. tra quarter of a day. Julius Caesar believed that he Was evening matters up When be estimated that this extra tiane, unaccounted for in the calendar. would in four veers amount to one day, he therefore originated leap year. fora tthoure inys:arrtiso.n of en extra day once This wile all very well, lint not quite eXaot. That is -to Say, according to Caesar's arrangement, .007744, of a day, *or 069 seconds, was falsely added to every year. After 129 years this arm - (muted to one whole day, AS the MI- tuTies Passed, the error grew larger, until. finally, ie the sixteenth cen- tury, it amounted to twelve days. Then Pope Gregory XIII. undertook the re- vision of the Julian Calendat, and got rid of these twelve days by SUPPrees- ing leap years for three consecutive centuries, and deciding that evevy tourth century should be leap. There were riots in opposition to the new calendar ; in feet, the Greek Church still uses the old one. The years 1700 and 1800, which by ordinary rotation of four years should be leap„were not, so the year 1000 will' only have 385 days instead 'of 366 days. But the year 2000 will be a leap year, Everybody knows that a year is leaP as eoon. aa the two last figures of its thousands are divisible by 4 ; 1872, 1888 1892, 1896, were leap years, the num- bers, 72, 88, 02 and 90 .being divisible by 4. . • The yeaes 2100, 2200, and 2300 will not be leaP ; the yearns 2000 and 2400 will be. This Greg-orian calendar *ill keep the seasons accurate enough for all practical purposes for a hundred thoue Band years. After that we may have to make new arratgemente. DIPLOMACY WON' THE DAY. "That's another agent," said Mrs Waples as she heard tbe bell ring. "New, Fre going to open. the door my - teat and give hiin a freeze -out he'll remember. She went to the door with a stony look of detetmination on her face,, and confronted a man carrying a satchel, and befere he had 'time to speak she snapped out: "Weil, what do you want?" For ther first time lin, his experience that agent lost his, cue. He had in- tended to ask her if her .elaest was at home, and was ready to address her as "My dear. young! lady," that belp.g his. formula- f or ,any woman: un- der 50, but one* look into that frozen countenance madei him forget hie own name.

Never saw one just like RI" . ayou did riot call to see that cat, did .youl" asked Mrs. W. in ea petrified Voice. "My dear lady, did ,not know that you had a cat, much lesa such a magni- ficent feline specimen as that! May I.ask its age?" Mrs. Vir. gave the first sign of a thaw. ."I think Mar» is three years ,old now; le was a kitten when heaame to us." ' "Oh,. you have his pedigree?" "No, indeed, he is only an ordinary cat. We' love him foxi his gentleness and because we raised him." "Noble creature! Beautiful cat! Ex- am me, but you have a treasure there, and he should' have a historic pedigree." And lie emoothed down the old doorete,p Joafer and said he dreismtainndte. d him of bis home many miles Then he sold Mrs. ,Waples tour bot- tles of a new kind of silver polish, and Asked bar permission to cull some day witir a kodale to take a picture of Ake beautiftil cat, and she bas been heard to say that the freezing -out pro- cess was a dead failure. "CLOCK STARS." • They Are Used Itt Place of the fitta To Fix the Time or y. Probably the majority of people sup- pose that the observatories obtain the. correct titne from •the sett. When the average man wishes to give 'his watch the highest praise he says, "lt rega- in te-s the bun," not being aware that watoh which would keep with the sun around the year would have to be as bad as Captain Cluttle's. The ferni- er may safely decide when to go to din- ner by the sun, but if the mariner was ae confident that the sun marked al- ways the correct time as. the farmer is lie would be sure to be at times 200 or 300 miles from where be thought he was. In other words, the sun -that is, a aundiala-is only sorrect, on a few days In each, year, mid* during thi In- tervening times gets as fat as it whole qUarter hour farst or slow. There are several htindred stars whose positiens have been established with. the ;greatest accuraoy by the most °areal' observations at a number of the principrie observatorieS of the world. It a star'S exact position is known, it can readily be calculated when it will pass the meridian of any given place -that is, the instant it will cross a north: and south' line through the place. The data regarding these Mars tire all publiehed in the nautical almanacs, which are got out b,y Several difterent observe Ilona for the use of nevigatora 'and all others who have uses for them. These stars are known as -" clock Stars." ..toor THE LITTLE SATIN SHOE.
