It is a time for virtuous resolve and hopeful cheer. ‘Tis named for old man Janus, who in very ancient days Had faces fore and faces aft that looked all sorts of ways. One looked ahead and t’other one was always looking back, So that the old man had an eye on all the almanac. / From front to rear no month escaped that ancient duffer’s view, And so they made him leader bold of all the whole kiboo. Its days are numbered thirty-one, its nights are quite the same. Its weather runs from fierce and cold to rather mild and tame; Some d bright and some are dark, ‘and some are merely drab. The wise man holds his muffler close, likewise his aural tab; And they who have fur overcoats to ease the polar shock Would better be most careful lest the same remain in hock. It is the best time of the year to plant your summer ice. For swinging in a hammock it is very seldom nice; But if you have a sweetheart fair to keep your spirits warm, You'll find it full of springtime in de- spite the raging storm.

Cold, followed by slight thaws between Washington and New York, with bliz- zards in North Dakota and the vicinity of Winnipeg. Sunshowers and warm weather predicted for Florida and Cuban ports. Good resolutions should not be | kept in warm places, owing to the prev- |alence of thaw in virtuous latitudes about the fifteenth. SUGGESTIONS.

Your valet should inv: snow shovel with him on ly carry a wary days, |case an avalanche of snow slides over you from your neighbor's roof. ‘The careful farmer wastes nothing, 80, when January comes, do not care- lessly knock the icicles from the eaves, but have the hired help climb up and pluck them, being careful not to break the tips; and after wrapping each one up in flannel, put them away in a cool place for use in summer.
