article. To hud what she was looking Tor
shc lit a match. Almost instantly the
closet was ablaze, and the girl's clothing
caught nre. Mr.. Thorpe heard her
screams and ran out on the veranda. A
can OIL gasoline which was in the closet
was on IRE, and the first thing be diu was
to throw the can down into the yard.
Then he turned his attention to the ser
want whose plight he had not OBJ
served al FIRST. II was with much troub
that the flames that envel0ped the lower
part OF her body were smothered out.
pr. Elliott was summoned and found
he girl seriously burned, but the burns
are not necessarily fatal.
Mr. Thorpe's hands and wrists we're
painfully burned and his hair and face

SPRINGS SECOND moNrH.
Some Facts Connected with its Early
History-OrIgin of its Name.


HistOry-OrIgin of its Name.
In the ancient Alban calendar in which
the year was represented as consisting Of
ten months OF irregular length April
stood first with 36 days to its credit. In
the calendar of Romulus it had the sec
ond place, and was composed of 30 days.
Norma's l2-month calendar assigned it
the fourth place with ~ days, and so it
remained till the reformation OF the year
by julius Cesar, when it recovered its
former 80 days, which il has since re-
tained.
1t j. commonly supposed that the name
was derived from the Latin word aperi0,
to open, az marking the time when the
buds OF the trees and flowers open. If
this were the case it would make April
singular amongst the months, for the
names of none Of the rest, as
designated in the Latin, have any
reference to natural conditions or cir
cumstances. The probability Is that the
name Of the month in Latin was derived
from the Greek name of the goddess
Venus. The Anglo-Saxons called the
month Oster mOnath, and from this appl-
cation the most plausible origin assigned
is that 1t was the month during which the
east winds prevailed. The term Easter
may have come from the same origin.

two tiny moons on the 18th will make a
transit across the SUMS disc. Mars, then,
