Asleep they lie, some long forgot!
No stone is reared to mark the spot
Where burning tears fell on the sod
When they were given back to God.

Where every noble deed or grace
Still speaks to those upon the shore
Awaiting the summons to pass Ger.

a Peculiar Month.

The month of February in a leap
year has some peculiarities of which
not many people are aware This year.
TOT example, February has five Sat-
urdays. This has occurred Just once
In every 2s years for the last 124 years.
February will have five SATURDAYS
again in 1905 ~ years from now. be-
cause at the turn of the century there
comes break in the 2Sth year period,
which is reduced to u years. Twenty,
eight years later, in 1886, we will again
nave five Saturdays i'm the month of
February. This same rule holds GOOD
Tor every day I'm the week, each re-
curing nVe times in the leap year
month of February every % wears
with the exception of Monday and
Wednesday. During the last POO wears
these two days have come five times
in February at one interval of 12 wears.
whlle the rest of the days have been 40
years apart once during the same pe-
riod of 200 years.
