Candlemas Days Weather Indicates
Another Winter Soon.

Yesterday. variousiy known as
Grounding day, Candlemas day, or
the Feast of the Publication. b. y.
H.. according to whether one is of
Puritan or Episcopal parentage, was
not a cheerful one to people who be-
lieve in weather signs and omens. Ac-
eording to those who place their faith
in the grounding or woodchuck, the
worst is vet to come in the matter Of
winter weather. When the ground hog,
supposed to come out of its hole on
Candlemas day, sees its shadow it goes
back for another six weeks sleep. Ii
the weather is cloudy so that no shadow
is east the lowly quadruped remains
awake and begins its spring work.
Yesterday was good day for seeing
shadows because the sky was cloudless
particularly in the forenoon. The
weather was fairly mild but, take ii
from the grounding, much worse wealth
er is coming There are divers wise
proverbs connected with the day. the
most common sense one being that pc
culiar to New England:
Candlemas day,
Half your wood ana half your hay.
For the benefit Of modern genera
ton it NAV be said that the provert
dates back 10 the tiuse when farme
folk raised hay instead of buying i
in bales and when they also used Woo
for fuel.
