WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY ?, 1858 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology It Is a sway under which conferences and peace meetings of many sorts should be successful. Good luck for workers is indicat- led. Strife with employers may be Suspended, or at least compromised under the direction of the stars. Strikes will spread in the spring producing odd alignments among statesmen and business heads.
 This is an suspicious rule under which to make new contracts and should be fortunate for first meet Ilngs of persons of opposite sex Much romance will mark the com ing spring,
 Fair trade is indicated for mer- chants and manufacturers, but un- usual trade conditions are prognos- ticated. High pressure production will be urgent in certain factories
 Good feeling may increase among bankers and others interested in in- .ternational finance, but a sensation Ial incident may cause sudden anx- iety.
 This should be a fairly fortunate date for launching new enterpris- les. The outlook for large-scale pro- jects is promising In other words the small business man may be much less lucky than his million aire competitors.
 Greece this month may come un- der ill-omened influence. Dispute with neighboring power is fore cast. An earthquake may cause loss eS.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ex- treme activity. New interests and odd hazards will engage attention. Promotion for wage-earners is pro- phesied.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be emotional, given to in- itiative and able to make the most of opportunities. These Aquarians usually are versatile and gifted.
