Origin of the Months Names.

january was named after the Roman
god, Janus; the deity with two faces, one
looking into he past and the other gaz-
ing forward to the future, writes Clifford
Howard in Ladies' Home Journal. "Feb-
ruary comes from the Latin word februo,
to purify. 1t was customary for the Ro-
mans to observe festivals of publication
during that month.
"March owes its name to the old god of
war. Among the Saxons this month was
known as Lenct, meaning spring; and
this is the origin of our word Lent. April
was named from the Latin aperio, to
open, in Specification of the opening of
flowers. The Saxons called the month
Eastre, in honor of their goddess of
spring, from which comes our word Eas-
ter.
MAY was named after the Roman god
dess Maia, and June was so-called In hon
or of Juno. July was named in honor of
julius Caesar, and August gets its name
from Augustus Caesar. September is from
the Latin septent, seven, this being the
seventh month according to the old Rom
an calendar. October, November and
December also retain the names by which
they were known under the old calendar,
when there were but ten months in the
year-octo, nopem and deem meaning
eight, nine and ten."

Holsters have survived trip as far West
as st. Louis.
I Owing to the high price realized In
England for live Holsters, attempts have
been made to ship live American Holsters
to that market, generally from Canadian
ports. In 1877 John Marston & Sons, OF
Portland, made a trial shipment OF $50.
They were placed in tank twenty feet
long by eight feet wide and three feet
deep, and constantly supplied with fresh
sea water through six faucets by means Of
a donkey engine, waste pipe preventing
any overflow. The trip was entirely
successful, as only so died and the balance
brought from 60 to rs cents pound.
The smacks and dealers buy Holsters by
count, as the fishermen generally have no
facilities for weighing them; but the
dealers always sell by weight. The NOR
tality among Holsters from the time they
are put aboard the smacks until they are
barreled for shipment is estimated at
about per cent.

A Baby Canary's Music Lessons.

In the account OF pair OF canaries and
their offspring, published in Ladies'
Home Journal. Florence Morse Kings
ley tells how the oldest baby bird, as
soon as he had learned to hutter from
one perch to another and to reach for a
seed and crack it, was put into cage by
himself and hung out on the veranda
near the father bird, who was named Wee
Willie Wrinkle, and was superb singer.
Then the baby birds education began.
First, be learned to jump fearlessiy into
his china bathtub and fiutter his wings
and get himself gloriously wet, just as
father did. Next, he cuddled himself in
to delightfully."- comfortable little bunch
on his perch and listened attentively
while Wee Willie Wrinkle sang bis won
derful song. The second week we heard
funny, sweet little chirping and gurgl-
ing. 1t was the young canary; he had
begun to study his profession in earnest.
Hour after hour the little fellow prac-
ticed, happily and patiently. One day he
trilled a little trill, and the next day
he had learned three new gurgles, and the
day after that he wove the trill and the
gurgles together and added longer trill
on higher key. In six weeks time we
were asking, SIS it Wee Willie Wrinkle
who is singing, or the baby?"

There's not such sight in the world, know
Az the ripe fields over yonder;
And down in the shadows Of apple row,
where the children used to wander,
The apples are reddeuing brsvely there,
And filing with sweetness the balmy air.
There's not such charm In the world elsewhere
As the farmland has in summer.

For the new and old.ti conner.

For / shouldn't want them to go away
Feeling discomfort and weary
And know that they'd find for little space
That the farm is welcome resting place.
