March.

As the old-fashioned almanac put it, “About this time look out for rain,’’ and the editors might have added “for robins.” March is boisterous, but it is also kindly. It la the mother month of the year. The poet who wrote about the sun in June drying the earth to see if it is in tune made a mistake in his month. March may seem cold, but it warms the earth into springing. The bird procession starts in March. There are a few members of the pioneer corps which come to spy out the land in February, but the great body bf birds begins its northward movement in March. The robin, the meadowlark, the flicker, the junco, the song and fox sparrows, Hie white throats and the white crowns come along in order, and then a little later the phoebes. Still later, but. not in March, comes the warblers, and when they are seen spring is passing and summer Is in Sight. ( :?'.■ The wild flowers come in March. After having substituted another flower for the daffodil, an American poet nright have written Shakespeare's line about daffodils “that come before the swallow dares, and take the winds of March with beauty.” The swamp willows already are budding and soon the ehpatlcs will be showing on sunny banks at the wood’s eage. March ushers (n a colored life.—Chicago Post.
