ST. VALENTINES DAY.-This time
honored anniversary is fast approaching,
and the show windows of the book sell
ers are gorgeous with the ~many-colored
missives, suited to all ages and occu-
pations. In speaking Of it o cotempor-
airy says "that it is the day sacred to
St. Valentine, and that all he knows of
him is that he was n holy priest Of
Rome, who, with st. Marius, assisted in
the persecution under Claudius III. He
was arrested by hat Emperor and sent
to the Project of Rome, who, on finding
all his efforts to make him his
faith Intellectual, caused him to be beat
EN- with clubs and afterwards b~eheaded.
This unfortunate shortening of his
stature, by q head, occurred on the 18th,
and hence the origin of the festival OF
ST. Valentine. But what connection
this holy priest ever had with love-
making We have been able salts
factorily to discover. There are many
conjectures, but the most plausible is to
be found in the pathological workings
of nature. About this time the ice King
begins to give way to the balmy breath
ings of gentle Spring, early vegetation
commences, and the birds, after a long
semi torpid holiday, begin to mate and
commence housekeeping for the sea-
son."

SIGNS IN THE SKY.-The color of the
sky at particular times affords wonder-
full good guidance. Not only does a
rosy sunset presage good weather, out
there are other tints which speak with
equal clearness and accuracy. A bright
yellow sky in the evening indicates
wind; q pale yellow, wet; a neutral
gray color constitutes a favorable sign
in the evening, and an ~unfavorable one
in the morning The clouds are again
full of meaning in themselves. lftheir
forms are soft, underlined, full and feath-
cry, the weather will be fine; II their
edges are hard, sharp and dchnite' IL
will be foul. Generally speaking, any
deep, unusual hues betoken wind or
rain, while the more quiet and delicate
tints bespeak fair weather. These are
simple maxims, and yet not so simple
but that the British Board of Trade has
thought fit to publish them for the ben
eft af seafaring men.
