On the 23rd, inst, as the down freight
train was approachiug the bridge aoross
the Snntiam. at Jefferson, Mont Baukiu,
one of the brakomen, attempted to pass
from a flat car to the top of a box oart
and in making the effort had his right
leg broken above the knee, and the scalp
toru from the forehead to the back of the
head, alongside and all over the ear. It
appears that in climbing, he swung out
to catoh the ladder on the side of the box
car, just as the bridge was reached, witb
tbe result above stated. He hung tu the
oar until the train was stopped, whoa he
was taken oareof. He was taken to his
home at Juuotion City by the morning

Georte W. Hubbard, the well-known
hop buyer who has been making his
headquarters here for some time, was
seen at the Cheuieketa on the 21st. "The
hop crop of '88 ia practically all sold in
Oregon," said Mr. H. "The largest un
sold lot I know of is Beardsloy's crop,
consisting of 280 bales, stored hero iu
Salem. There are about 100 bales at
Butteville, oO or 00 at Silverton and 150
at Independence. The truth is that hops
are pretty well closed out all over the
coast. You may say that Oregon has
guined ten points in her standing as a
hop producing state, so far as quality is
concerned this year, and if this improv-
ment is continued she will rival Wash
ington territory in a year or two. A
point I would like to have you impress
on .growers is that what they neglect
here, is proper cultivBtitjn of the soil,
which is the means of fattening Jiops just
as much as corn is is the means of "Bbak- 1
ing fat hogs. Toll .the growers to cyti
out this piece of advice and paste it in
their hats for reference next season."
CoBVAidils. The wife of Waymnn St
Clair, city reoorder, was found dead in
her bed by her husband on the morning
of the 19 inst. She had been feeling ill
for a few dayt past, but- nothing serious
was feared. Mr. StClair did not retire
until about 12 o'clook last night and
about 4 A. M. arose to fix tbe covers on
the children's bed, and on returning to
his own bed noticed his wife apparently
fast asleep. As usual he got np about
two hours afterwards and oalled to his
wife, but no answer comiug he started to
move her and found ber upper limbs
and head cold and stiff, aud ber body
slightly warm, life having been extinct
for probably two hours. Tbe supposed
ouuse of her death is neuralgia of the

Canton Cm (News) It is rumored
that there was a deficiency of some 82200
in the hands of County Clerk J. T. Mael
of money belonging to the bankrupt
HiiBton estate. His bondsmen-John
Muldrio, B. 0 Trowbridge and Joe Ol
iverheld a meeting and Mr. Mael hand
ad in his resignation. The deficiency
has beeu made good and the bondsman
recommended the appointment of Hon.
Phil Metschan, which appointment tbe
county court made yesterday, and Mr
Metschan is now clerk of Qrant oounty.
Oounty Clerk Mael had a narrow
esoape from death last Monday. Through
mistake he took a overdose of morphine
but the prompt arrival ot a physician
saved his life.
Baker City Democrat: A verdict in
the case of the state of Oregon vs. Pat.
McOinnis was rendered in the circuit
court at Canyon City last Saturday. The
defendant was found guilty of murder in
the first degree. The crime for which
he was convicted was the killing of Dep
uty Sheriff Lock wood in the county jail
at Canyon City about two months since.
It is hardly within tbe range of possibil
ities for McGinnis to escape the gallows,
as there are no extenuating circumstan
ces in his favor and the crime was a cold
blooded one.

A Gigantic Soheme.
A Salem Statesman dispatch from
Leavenworth, Kansas, lays:
ueneral Mcuook is engineering a gi
gantic soheme for the improvement of
the Missouri river at tbe fort and con
sequently the land lying opposite Leavj
enwottb. Jnst above the fort the river
makes an eastern bend over one mile and
a quatrter, and turning south and west
again makes a gigantic turn like the cap
ital U. Tbe Missouri side ot tbe bend
has been badly cut for years, and the
Book Island railway hat moved its road
one mile inland to avoid the water
Aore after acre of valuable land has fal
len into tbe river.
General McOook will soon ask permis
sion tit the ceo rotary of war to use prison
labor to out a canal at the bate of the
bend. He estimates tbst with the use of
military convicts be ean in two mod Hit
open up this oanal to a depth of ten feet
its entire length, and will, with tbe aid
of spring floods, straighten out the course
ef the river. The work will be of incal-
oulahle benefit to Leavenworth.

HoNjLULU.Oot., 22, 1888.
Editor Republican
As I was walking iu trout of the
post office the other morning, X was hail
ed by Dr. Kimball, the government phys
ician for Honolulu, aud asked if I would
not like to tuke a ride out to Kakauko
I replied that I would, aud in a few min
utes ne were spinning down King street
Passing tbe King's p;ilacj, we turned
toward the sea, aud covering a mile or
two of low marshy land, came np to
Kakauko.
Kakuuko is the receiving station for
lepers. Here all wbo are afflicted with
this dread disease must be oullected be
fore being sent for life to the leper set
tlement on Molokai. It cousists of sev
eral acres of ground of a square shape,
laid out with walks shaded by trees
It is situated on the beach nud stir,
rouuded by a high feuoe. We passed
through the gates, which are uhvayx
looked and guarded. On one side is a
lar e two story buildiug oalled Kapio
luni Home. It was built by the present
Queen, Kapiolaui, for the children
leper parents. The other sides are ta
ken up by cottages for lepers. They art
divided iutj quarters for girls, women,
bjys and mou.
We first visited the quarters for girrl
but they were at church so we saw noth
ing. In order to undeistaud the condi
tion of these lepers it must be remember
ed that a leper here is a prisoner for lift
During his life be is sepurated from his
friends and in the end dies the mosl
loathsome death known to man. It it
suoh a tlow death. To say it is a dealL
by inches but poorly expresses it. A
leper decays alive and drops to pieces.
If the disease attaoks the extremities, 1
joint of a toe drops off to-day aud a pari
of a finger to-morrow. By and by tin
arms and legs beoome affected, mid nftei
years of suffering, years spent in wutch
ing decay, the patient dies. Even ii
death be has no peaoe, for thou ho i
confronted with the thought that per
haps he has caused half a dozen to aul'.
er the same fate as himself.
Pasting the quarters of the women
tha Doctor oalled the name of "Kela.:'
and a young woman not more than If
years old oame to the door of her cotlag.
She was a pretty native girl, and oip
oould scarcely detect the presence o
disease, so slightly was she alloc ted
Looking more closely one oould see 11
slight swelling ju her faca, making it in-
pear bloated. Catohiug a look from he
eye yon oould easily interpret the tell
tale glanoe of hopeless dospair that is al
ways present.
"How are you?" asked the Djotor w.
naiye..
"I am well," she answered.
I was told that her body was covereci
with spots much the same iu appearauci
as riugworm.
We now passed into a room oocupieu
by a very old gray-headed woniar.
Snob a sightl The woman was too fa
gone to be able to rise, and was seated o.
a mat on tbe fluor. She was blind, ba
eyebrows were goto, her toes and fin
gers wore off, her face a mass of scab.'-.
Dr. Kimball spoke to her pleasautly, bn
her face was so distorted that she colli
scarcely move her muscles to reply. H.
explained to me tbe oause of her blind
nBB. Leprosy, be said, paralvzos tli
motory norve ot the eye so that it wi.
impossible to olote it. Theglare of tl
light does the rest. He now iiBked he
to close her eyes. She tried to close tl 1
lids but failed. Then olappiug her stub,
by hands to bar faoo, she rakad them
over her eyes aud gave veut to a pitiful
and hopeless moan. I turned and walk
ed away. She has three years more ol
this life.
Amoug the men and boys Borne had
features frightfully distorted, whil
some scarcely showed it. One boy ha
lost his eyebrows, a very ooiutnon thin
in advanced stages of the ditease. Oi,
leaving, I asked the Doctor how fur I t
considered leprosy oontagious,
"l don't know auythiug about it," 1 1
replied, "and I know us much as i:
known," be added.
There is considerable dispute on thi
subjeot, aud I was anxious to get hi
opiuion.
He told me of a yonng mau sentence t
to denth here in Honolulu, who was it!
lowed to have bis sentence oomtnuted 0
a life sentence, if he would submit to it
oculation from the virus of a leper, li
was in flue henltb, possessed a fine pl.j -
siqne, andnoneof bis fnmily bad tu
been known to have had leprosy. 1
consented to the terms and was vucci
nated. This was in 1885, nud to-day I.
languishes in Oabu jail, a confirmed h i .
er. It is the thoory of many that it r .
quires seven years for leprosy to m i! e
its appearance after it comes into II
tystem.
Leprosy does not teem to deoreir
any in these islands. Every procnuti.
is being taken to prevent its spread 11:;
no one but natives seem to suffer with it
Hawaiian seem to think it came throng!
the Chinese, for they oall it "mai Pake,'
(Chinese sickness) in their language
Leprosy is tbe darkest blot on Hawsi to
day and nothing short of divine powe
ceems able to cheek it.

FACTS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
It is generally understood that every
year divisible by 4 is a leap year. It is
uot true, us 11I0J is divisible by 4 and is
not a leap year. The rule that will al
ways determine leap years is as follows :
Every year that is divisible by 4 except
the centennial years, and every centen
nial year divisible by 4J0, is a leap
year. According to this rule, 1000 was
was a leap year, and 2000 will also be
one; but all intervening centennial years
are not leap years.
There is a reason lor this which is ex
plained as follows : If we reckon 3t
days as one year, the time lost in the
calendar fu one year is 5 h. 48 miu and
49.7 sec, aud iu four years is 23 h. 15
miu. and 18.8 sec, that is lacking ouly
44 miu. 41.2 sec. of being a day ; hence
the first error can be corrected by adding
one day every four years, making the
year to consist of 300 days.
If every fourth year be reckoned ns leap
year, since we add -14 miu., etc. too much
the time gained in the calendar i n four
years ig 44 min. 41.2 sec, and In 100 yea:
it will be IS h. 37 miu. 10 sec, that is,
one day lacking 5 h. 22 min. 50 see:
hence the second error may be corrected
by deducting oue day from each centen
nial leap year, thus calling each centen
nial year a common year of 305 days.
Again, if every centenuial year be reck
oned as a conimou year, since we do not
a;iu enougli, the time lost in 100 years
will be 5 h. 22 miu. 50 sec, and iu 400
years it will lie 21 b. 31 miu. 20 see-
hence the, tinie lost in 400 years will be
1 day lacking 2 b. 28 min. 40 sec, aud
this error may be rectified by makiu;
every fourth centennial year a leap year.
In the same way we make the calendar
correct for any number of years.
The reckoning of time a nong the an
cients, oaiug to their ignorance of as
tronomy, was very iuueurate. The cal
endar adopted by Romulus consisted of
only ten moiulis, but Natna added two
more, and urrungod a system of intercal
ations, which had it beeu adhered to,
would have made the years average Uiiii'j
lays. But changes were I'reciuently
madb for political reasons, and the cal
endar fell into such confusion that Un
civil equinox, in the time of Ca-sar, dif
fered from the astronomical by three
months. The calentllir was reformed by
Julius Ctesar, 40 Ji. C, who decreed that
the year should consist of 305 '- days,
ami since it was not convenient to count
1I10 l4 of a tiny every year, every -lib
year was made to consist of liiiti days,
i'iiis extra day was called the iittcr-ca-lary
day, and was introduced by count
ing the 2-lth of February twice. This
day, being tho sixth before tho kalends
of March, the years containing -t were
called 6iis('.-7e,liaving two sixths. With
m it i.tolaled leap year, treatise it leans,
as it were, euu day.
The correction of On..sur tuuumed the
your to C(ins'uv nr. rtoo , ,.. . ,
which is 11 mm, 10.3 see. too much,
his correction mtrodiioed a slight error
which m 1082 had amounted to 10 days'
-the civil year being, II) Java behind the
solar year. Iu 1582 Pope Gregory cor
rected the error ny striking 10 days out
of the calender, oulliug the 51 Ii of Octo
ber the iftt-h, and ordering that heiioe
forth ouly those centennial years should
be leap years which are divisible by 400
Ihe Oretf-onau calendar was soon
adopted by most Catholic oouiitrips
Great Britain adopted thoohunge in 1752
calling IL'i 3d of September the 14th'
the error having amotinleO to 11 days
Russia and other oountn'oa ,,f tl, IU:L,
ehuroh, still adhere to tho Julian ealeu-
uiu, tneir tiates doing now about 12 days
behind ours. The two calendars are dis
tinguished as Old Stylo and. New Style
marked O, S. and N. S. respectively. In
the Old Style the civil or legal year com
menced on the 25th ot March, while the
historical year commenced ou the 1st of
January, and dates between those days
wore marked with the number of both
years; thus, January 30th, 1019, is fre
quently found written, January 30th,
I04K-U. The New Style made I t civil
voar commence also on tho 1st of January-
At any ralo the boys are glad to have
ieap year come around and the girls are
:iot loth to take advantage of the same
ind work it for all there iH in it, and no
lotibt the young folks of 1900 will gruiu
ile that they should be so unfortunate
is to experience eight long years witli
mt a leap year in it.

Hanbury street, 100 yards from the place

WHEN MEN CROSS THEIR LEGS,
Men usually cross their legB when
there is least pressure on thoir minds.
1 011 will novor find a man actually en
gaged in busmess with his legs crossed.
Tho limbs al thoso times are straighter
man at any other time, because tho
mind and body work togothor. A man
engaged in auditing accounts will never
rosshis legs; neither will a man who is
writing an article, or who is engaged in
uny manner where his brain is actually
engaged. When at work in a sitting
position the limbs naturally extond to
the Moor in n perfectly straight lino. A
nan may cross his legs when be is sit
ting iu an office chair discussing somo
proposition with another man, but tho
nstant be becomes really in earnest and
icrceives something to be gained his
limbs uncross quick as a flush, he bonds
forward toward bis neighbor and he bo
gins to use his hands. That is a pbuse
that I believe you will always observe.
Wen often cross their legs at public
meetings, becatiso they go there to listen
or to be entertained ; they ure not the
factors m the performance, and they
naturally place themselves in the most
comfortable position known lo them, viz,
leaning well back in their chairs und
crossing their legs. A man always
erossew his legs wlien ho rein s a news
paper, but is more apt to lie down when
he reads a book. Ho reads tho paper, of
course, to inform himself, but at the
same time the perusal of its contents is a
recreation to him, and his body again
seeks its position of relaxation. When a
man is reading a newspaper and waiting
for bis breakfast his legs aro always
croHHcd, but us soon as his breakfast is
brought to him he puts aside his paper,
straightens out his legs and goes to work
thai is, to eat his mind now turning
ou the duties of the day before him.
