It is a strange, we should say an unneces sary, question to raise in this Women's Rights Year par excellence. Nevertheless, there is a grast divatsity of opinion as to whether the privilege to propose belongs to the ladies ar ing the whole of this year, or if it is confined to one day. It belongs to only one day, pro- perly, and that the extra day. The true quek- tion is, which is that extra day? In the calendar of the Church the extra day is put in, between the 24th and what is in other years the 25th, while in the Civil calendar the day is added at the end of the month; so that the question comes to be?

ROBINSON-CRUSOE'S GUN.

Robinson Crusoe's gun, the identical weapon that was the mainstay of that lonely sailor during his castaway life on Crusog Island, is, as the Philadelphia North American, in Philadelphia, the jealously guarded property of Miss Hulda B. White,
Miss White has had the gun for more than thirty years. The story of her ownership is unique, and gives the relic, in her eyes at leas, an added valós. Forty years ago a distant cousin left. Philadelphia for a tour
of England and Scotland. Knowing Miss White's penchant for collecting old things, he kept his eyes open for odd.bils, and many-2 piece in Miss White's large collection cathe from him.

He went in, and when the old goo was offered, together with the papers proving its identity, became an excited bidder, fically carrying it away with him -after having paid 160 dollars to the auctioneer,;}. Several hours later a messenger came to the hotel where he was staying with a letter. The communication was from the auctioneer, who wrote that a wealthy, relative of the Selkirk
•family had authorised him to offer the purchas ser of the gun 320 dollars, double the price paid. Loth to take the heirloom from the family that was evidently so highly prized be said that if the would-be purchaser would meet him the next đáy he would give up the gun, The Selkirk representative did not turn up, and the gua sailed for Ameriça, to be given to its present owner;
