unpaved rural communities where
weather is all important.
MANY a man who SHES at carry
ing a horse chestnut to ward off
rheumatism. still takes his weather
straight from the almanac or from
the feel of his corns," one druggist
reported.
The little books contain much
valuable information. There Is a
bible verse cited for daily reading
and statements regarding the
arrival of the moon and what shape
it will be in when it comes. There
are pictures of the twelve signs of
the zodiac and their relation to
human anatomy and Fart" of men
and women before and after taking.
The almanac lists the vernal
equinox, March 20: summer solstice,
June 81; autumnal equinox, Sept. %;
and winter solstice, Dec. 81. Which
means, of course, that spring will be
here officially on March 20.
Dates of United States legal
holidays are given. There are

1t points out that the Jewish year
is $3.50, which gives them a good
lead on the Christians; while the
Mohammedan' are trailing with
their year only 1,347.
There will be a total eclipse of
the sun on May 10. only you wont
be able to see it if you live in North
America. The moon will pull a
similar stunt on June 3, but not for
our benefit.
Venus will be the morning star
until July 1, but will rise SO early
that no one would get up at that
hour even to see Venus.
