HOW TO REMEMBER THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE DIFFERENT MONTHS.
February presents no difficulty. As to the other months (with the exception of July, August, and November) the last consonant of the names into which they have been rendered in the foregoing remarks, will correctly indicate whether the number of days is odd or even. The name June, for instance, has been changed into the word Junior; r = 4, which is even. June, therefore, has 30 days. March—Mauve—v=5—odd—31 days. December—Decem—m=3—odd—31.
In the case of the three exceptions mentioned above, the last consonant of their ordinary names—July, August, and November—will indicate whether the number of days they contain is odd or even, after the same manner. July—l—1—odd—31 days. August—t—7—odd—31 days. November—r=4—even—30 days.
A SHORT AND EASY MODE OF REMEMBERING THE DATE OF EACH SUNDAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
Take the date of the first Sunday of each month; translate these dates into letters; associate each quarter, making a word of each. The first Sundays of the first three months of 1866 fall on Jan. 7th, Feb. 4th, and March 4th. Of 744 you can make the word terror—rather expressive of the season of the year. The first Sundays of the second quarter fall on April 1st, May 6th, and June 3rd. 163 = leap home. Third quarter, July 1st, Aug. 5th, Sept. 2nd. 152 = Leven. Oct. 7th,
