Francis Nichols of Minnesota, who has organized a religious sect called Brethren ia Christ, says that all the human race, except the 140,000 in his sect, will be eternally lost. The prop erty of the communicants is placed in a common fund, of which Nichols has charge. All funerals of members of the sect must be under his direction, and his traveling expenses are, of course, borne by the mourners. Those who desire to keep "in the kingdom" must abjure all display in dress and all ornaments are forbidden. The mem bers must not have any friends who are not in the kingdom, and this rule is said to be one of the most severe of all on the women. No tie of rela tionship is recognized, and persons in one's own family must be shunned if they are outside the kingdom. Roch ester Democrat.

"It i.s a loose shutter," he thought, and went to fix it. He opened the window and gave an exclamation. There, flop pmg in his face, was a big square of pasteboard. He couldn't solve the mystery, and, finding the string, gave it a vicious yank, for he thought some boys were trying to play a trick on him. Heavens! what was that From over his head came a piercing shriek. He yanked at the cord and again and again came the yells. Then someone cme to the window above and yelled down; then there was a violent jerking at the cord from above, and when he saw it went into the girl's window he let go. He went inside and called up to Mary "to come down and explain ini meuiateiy. tne dressed and came down limping and tearfully explained her scheme.

The year 1900 will not be counted among leap years. The year is 365 days, five hours and 49 minutes long; 11 min utes are taken every year to make the year 3654 days long, and every fourth year we have an extra day. This was Julius Caeser's arrangement. Where do those 11 minutes come from? They come from the future, and are paid by omitting a leap year every 1CU years. But if leap year is omitted regularly every one hundredth year, in the course of 400 years it is to be found that the 11 minutes taken each year will not only have been paid back, but a whole day will have been given up. So Pope Gregory III., who improve J on Caes ar's calendar in 1S52, decreed that ev ery centural year divisible by four should be a leap year after all. So we borrow 11 minutes every year, more than paying our borrowers back by omitting three leap years in three centural years, and square matters by having a leap year in the fourth cen tury year. Pope Gregory's arrange ment is so exact, and the borrowing and paying back balance so closely, that we borrow more than . we pay back to the extnet of one day in 3.8C6 years. Three for $1.

Rome has during the present century been twice under French, rule, twice under that of a republic and four times under the rule of the pope this lat ter rule being more or less supported by French troops, and finally, in 1871, it became the capital of united Italy. Indeed, says the Boston Traveler, throughout the first half of the cen tury Rome was in a continual state ot change and turmoil, both politically and socially. The vicissitudes of Paris have been as numerous and more important. During the present century it has twice been occupied in 1814 a'nd tS71 by foreign troops, and it. has twice 1818 and 1870 been in a state of siege and under martial law. Na poleon ruled it as first consul and em peror, Louis Philippe as king, Napo leon III. as president and emperor. Paris has also seen two republics and one commune, and there have been eleven popular uprisings within its walls which culminated in the barri ending of its streets. Very large por tions of it have been destroyed and, rebuilt, and, generally speaking, it has been the scene of more military, polit ical and social turmoil than any othei capital city of Europe, with the possi ble exception of Rome, as above stated Just received ;t 25ilo, lot of boys' Bicycle fjfootl as most of the Zoc ones. .

The Woman's Hotel, as proposed in New York has received a great im petus during the past week. Over $125, 000 worth of stock has been taken by women. Capitalists, who fromerly would not put a dollar into the enter prise are now subscribing to the stock. The "Woman's Hotel Company, to be incorporated at Albany, has issued a revised prospectus. The capital will be $400,000 divided into 4,000 shares The object of the company is to pro vide one or more hotels for the ex clusive use of self-supporting women It is intended that the first hotel should be fireproof, with a capicity of 500 guests, and the cost to be about $S00,000, carrying a .mortgage of $400,- 000. Stock amounting to $100,000 has been taken, largely by women, in the proposed hotel for business women The shares went rapidly last week after Miss Grace Dodge presented the plans and scope of the venture before the League for Political Education. The Margaret Louisa Home has for years been managed much on the plan of the proposed hotel for women. It is a house which was built by a woman. It is officered and run by women, and supported by them, for it is self sup porting, and every part of the manage ment is harmonious. A thousand wom en dine there every day, and New York has no more attractive sight than its drawing room and library in the even ing, with their beautiful furnishing, fine pictures on the walls, costly bits of bric-a-brac, the open piano and bookcases full of good books, and throngs of women either resting in some of the rooms or improving their minds.
