Persons who have a superstitious
dread of Friday will not be pleased to
learn that this is a thoroughly Friday
year. 1t came in on a Friday, will
go out on a Friday, and will have
fifty-three Fridays. There are four
months in the year that have five Fri
days each; changes of the moon oc-
cur five times on Friday, and the
longest and shortest day of the year
falls on Friday. The year will I'M
doubtedly be fatal one to people who
are sentenced to be hung on Friday,
and we really hope the work of putting
the depot sidewalk in good repair
won't be begun on Friday.
