LEAP-YEAR.
WHY WOMAN HAS THE PRIVILEGE.
THE CHINA MAIL."
There will be 29 days in February this year, for 1024 is a leap-year. A leap-year is one whose number fat the Carisman Ere can be divided by four without remainder, the century years-1900, etc.-being excepted. The necessity for leap-years los in the fact that the solar year consista of 365 days, & hours 48 minutes, and therefore periodic readjustment is necessary.
The most famone custom associat- ed with leap-year is the one which gives women the privilege of propos ing instead of being proposed to, on every 29th of February.
This privilege is legendarily said to have been cajoled out of St, Pate rick by St. Bridget. In more re- cent tunes the right has, apparent- ly, been extended to eaver the whole youran extension which has caused some nervousness in the minds of bachelors.
La parts of New England thero lingers a curious superstition that in leap-year beans grow, on the wrong | side of the pod.
Archbishop Whitgift, Edward Cave, who founded the Gentleman's Magazine, Ressini, the composer, and the eldest son of the present Duke of Abercorn were, all born on February 29. There are about 20,000 people in the country with Chung Fook, 15 Connaught itd. their birthday on this date..
