LUCKNOW.

Some of us believe that lime is good
In soil when you've some soil to go
with it.
The measles are about all over with
and are indeed thankful, that they
never spread any more for they would
have almost broken up our school,
had they ever gotten under good head
way.
If any one has done anything we
don't now anything about it and we
are not going TO tell anybody either.
We have decided that it no one knows
any more than we do, there isn't no
danger Of many people growing tired
of listening to other people tongue
much.
We think that every young man
ought to get married, though we
know that everyone can't who ought. It
strikes US that modern love is like bad
colds, you take it every time you lay
yourself liable. The surest cure for a
broken heart is unbroken silence.
The surest way for young man to
start out to get married is in the d.
Iection of an old maids home.
We occasionally have a warm
springlike day, some birds singing,
seemingly SO light and gay that our
hearts too seem to imbibe the cheer
that the sure enough season brings,
and we look with affectionate hope
and desire to the time when we cease
to cut wood for the fire. Well well
come the season of sunshine and flow
ers, and songs and aches and dear
dreamy hours, when snakes and liz
yards 60 crawling ABOUT, and the brook
feel the trends of the kingly old trout !;
when yearlings go prancing and bend
ing the pines, and Beck feels the larp
of the plowman's lines; when chill
dren make mud cakes, sunbaked and
prime, and, QUINCY young poets try
writing in rhyme. We love the dear
gay hours of the spring, and could we
we would love to help the birds sing.

Well. as / have no news, I will,
according to promise, speak of the
months of the year. We had some
thing to say about January and Feb
ruary, now what about March, the old
windy line shaking month? March is
named for Mars, and is the third
month of our year but the first of the
Roman year. Mars was a Roman myth
the god of war. his mother was
Janou. He was after represented as
nude old man, with shield, he'll
met, and pike. He was seated in
chariot drawn by two furious horses.
The horse, the wolf, the maybe, the
vulture, among animals, and the dog
grass among plants were sacred to
him. The star Mars, or Astron, is
one of the superior planets and is A.
600, 900 miles from the sum- it takes
nearly 687 days for it to revolve
around the sun, and rotate upon its
axis in "a hours, 81 minutes, 90 g.
seconds. Its equatorial diameter is
about 1900 miles. It's main mass is
about one eighth that of the earth.
Mars is thought to be world with
continents, seas and other thing like
ours. 1t is thought that Mars has
two satellites, Deimos and Phobos.
Deimos is estimated to be from to 6
miles in diameter, and revolves
around the planet, at distance of
IL, 500 miles, in 80 hours, Is minutes
Phobos, the inner moon, is but 3,700
miles from the planet, and completes
it's revolution around Mars in 7 hours,
80 minutes. This is much less than
the period of rotation of Mars itself,
and constitutes unique fact in the
solar system, which has furnished
forcible proof of G. II. Darwin's
theory of the tides. In 1892 we are
told that Mars approached the zenith
very closely, and from observations
made at that time the theory 1 that it
is inhabited, while not absolutely de-
termined, seems to have received some
degree of confirmation in the minds of
many people So much for old Mars;
he cuts many figures in our old world,
and we are not prepared to give him
credit for all the influence he has on
our earth. Would like to visit him,
but will wait for airships to be per-
fected, and then maybe Uncle Sam
will hold worlds fair up there, and
exhibit his new acquired possessions,
together with home products and min.
erals. However, it any of you want
to visit him, would advise you to
catch him in his good behavior, or
you might be blown away and lodge
in some other planet. Be careful any
way.
