number of days in the month. and
from the result the unlucky DAYS OF
the month are found.
To show how these evil DAYS are
determlned: AS has been seen in
January the moon is full on the 22nd.
The number Of days proceeding this
IS "a, which multiplied by 81 is 651.
here January 6, 5 and l are unlucky
days. ~
IL sometimes occurs that a certain
date is indicated as both fortunate
and unfortunate. In such cases it is
SAID that the day in>both is good and
reverse, but that in love and pecuniary
affairs the i'll lutk is pretty cer.ain to
predominant and that on such DAYS
ventures in either one or the other are |
apt to go wrong.
For a Happy Marriage.
To determine a lucky marriage day
by TINS system, the number of days
from the full of the moon to the end
Of the month is deducted from the
number of days in the month. The
Remainder thus obtained is then null
tpi!ed by the age of the one be-
trOthed.
In making this reckoning the count
ing is done in this way: suppose the
young woman is %. If seven months
nave passed since her birthday. she
NV w as 4 Il pUl Ill 1t Is
less than six months since her last
birthday at the time of the. reckon
ing, the count is that she is g.
To illustrates: Suppose that a young
woman of 20 wishes to determine
Whlch' day in February of the present
year would be lucky for her marriage
and that two months have passed
since her last birthday. Deducting the
number of days from the full of the
moon, February 20, to the end of the
month, from the number Of days in
the month and multiply the remain
der thu obtained by 20, the result is
100. This indicates that either the
LIST, 9Th or 18th Of the month will be.
fortunate for her marriage.
To prove this as one would a math-
ematical problem, multiply the num-
Der Of days preceding the full moon,
which is 10 by 20, the girls age. This
gives $50, showing that the 3rd and
Sth are evil days for the ven
Three Most Unlucky Days.
In addition to the way of determin-
ing the lucky and unlucky days the
man who made a study of the subject
calls attention to the deduction in an
old manuscript by an Arabian sage as
to certain days which are counted
lucky OR h reverse without refer
1ence to the year The unfortunate
days, according TO this authority, are
the first Monday in April, the first
Monday in August and the last Mon
day in December. These three days
together with 1nnocents' Day, are de-
clared the most unfortunate days OF
air the year.
This same Arabian philosopher de
clares that. according to ancient au'
thority, the Angel Gabriel made
known to Joseph that there are q
IN We in oach 700 which . no \1Y-- for.
tunate, that seeds sOWn, trees plant
ed, structures begun, Journeys started
1 on any one of these days are certain
to prosper.
i He also states that children bori
on any Of these days can never b
poor, and that those put to school OF
e any one Of them should become grea
q scholars. He also adds that boys pu
to a craft or trade on these days vii
become a perfect artiticer and rich
e in fact, a boy entering any Occupa
e ii, on any of these days will be eX
e ceptiOnally successful.
