Col. Watterson Writes interestingly of
the Best that Fears His Shadow.
February 2. is known in the; calender.
of the church as,; CandlemasAobserv-
ed in commemoration of the purifica
tion of the 'Virgin Mary. We are" not
to discuss the religious, ; observance
of the day. but it Is necessary to take
notice of tho 'name in order to under
stand the references to it m another
connection. ? v ' ' '.
The ancients had t many rule for
forecasting the weather, many of
which wereipurely arDiirary, just as
are , many of those relied- ,on j at the
present day-hy the weather sharps or
those who i.wish to.r be -regarded ! as
such. At the ' time when, dates were
mainly kept ;with reference to holy
days, or holidays, these prognostica
tions were : naturally connected with
such days. However, an old calendar
states that on the 13th of December
predictions were made for the whole
year. An almanac of 1676 has it:
"Some -say that if on the 12th of Jan
uary the sun shines, it foreshows
much wind; others predict by St.'
Paul's day (January 25), saying if the
sun shines it betokens a good year;
if it rain or snow, indifferent; if misty;
it predicts great dearth; if it-thunder,
great winds and the death of the peo
ple that vear." This is mentioned to
show that there were Various periods
selected as indicating tne -.sort oi
weather that would prevail in future,
and also as a basis for; other predict
ions. - , r''
Candlemas day was selected at a
very early period, how early seems un
certain, as indicating the cessation or
continuation 'of winter. Sir Thomas
Browne writes mat, "there is a general
tradition in most parts -of Europe
which inf erreth the ' coldness of the
succeeding winter from, the shining
of the sun on Candlemas day," This
tradition is usually expressed in the
well-known lines:
If Candlemas be clear and bright,
I Winter has taken another flight;
If Candlemas' brings clouds and rain,
Winter is gone, anu win , uuu i;umc
again. - '- "'
Of course, these lines are compara
tively modern, as the language indi
cates; there is no old ungnsn in mem.
But the idea was translated, with some
freedom, from an older Latin couplet,
which read:
Si Sol splendescat Maria purificante
'Major erit glacies post festum quam
fuit ante."
An almanac printed at Basle in 1672
in French, contains lines which recite
that the ancients say that if the. sun
shines on Candlemas we shall have-an-other
winter; therefore it adds, save
your hay, for you. will need ,it; by this
rulo the bear governs himself when
he returns to his cave. We have here

familiar of our hibernating animals.
On this day he is said tp come out
from his winter quarters' and to re
turn ;at once if the sun- shines. In New
England and those states Where New
England influence has', been dominant
the ground-hog is not known under
that name. He is called ''the wood
chuck, which many Westerners are in
clined to think is a bird. Webster ex
plains the name by saying it is derived
from wood and the root of the- word
hog,' so that it means wood-hog. The
animal is otherwise, known as the
American Marmot. The scientific name
is Arctomys Mpnax; arctqmys' mean
ing bear-mouse showing sa disposition
to class it with the bear.' It -justifies
its name of wood-hog' by living in the
woods and fields, where it -digs deep
holes and burrows during, the winter.
The name of ground-hog is based upon
this burrowing in the ground in con
nection with its voracious habit;?. Its
intelligence is shown by digging holes
in a slanting direction, and partly up
ward to keep ou the water, and also
by generally providing more than one
entrance, so as to facilitate its escape
when pursned. It is also said to post
sentinels to give the alarm if neces
sary, when it makes excursions. For
all that, it knows no more about the
weather than the observers of the
Weather Bureau. The story of the
ground-hog is a mere legend, which is
just as workable without either
ground-hog or bear.
The notion that winter may be over,
by Candlemas is rather a oueer one
in this latitude. The v astronomical
winter begins about December 21 and
ends March 21. It is therefore just
about half over at Candlemas. The
six weeks which the ground-hog is
supposed to pass in retirement in case
he' sees his shadow come to an end on
March 16, a little before the beginning
of spring. It is generally pretty safe
to predict that winter will last till that
time whether Candlemas be clear or
cloudy. The legend probably origi
nated in a warmer climate than ours,
and was transplanted without due re
gard to weather conditions.
One of the couplets relating to Can
dlemas says that if the weather is fair
and clear there will be two winters in
one year. That is not likely to be lit
erally fulfilled this year, as we have
not yet had one average winter. The
temperature in January showed an ex
cess of temperature of 172 degrees
above the normal. So we are not like
ly to have, more than one winter,
whatever tho Arctomys Monax may
say. today. Courier:Journal. - - -, .

o Says Dke of Alinotlovar of Alfonso
and Princess Ena.
Paris Cor. New York Sun.
A dispatch to the Temps from Alse
ciras states that in an interview the
Duke of Olnlodovar, Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who is the head of the
Spanish mission to the Moroccan con
fererrtie, said:
"1 rejoice with all Spaniards at the
projected marriage of King Alfonso.
When he returned from London our
sovereign had lixed his choice. He was
charmed and conquered by the young
princess, and fe!l in love with her at
first sight. The guard which keeps
watch at Buckingham Palace does not
forbid this to kings. 1
"Since then his majesty has often
spoken to me with enthusiasm of his
future queen. She is said to be de
lightful. I only know her mother per
sonally. The august couple have often
written to each other. They arranged
the Biarritz meeting and exchanged
voluminous correspondence.
"The date of the marriage has not
been fixed. I think it will be in June.
"It has been alleged that the queen
mother would have preferred another
alliance. That is absolutely incorrect.
I can tell you that the royal family is
quite at one, and that Spanish opinion
approves of the match."
