               2,  which  tells you  that  the day of the week  is  the  sixth,
               or Friday.
                 I will give you a few  more actual examples, after I ac-
               quaint you with  the year and month keys, and my  methods
               for remembering them.
                 These are  the month keys, which will always remain  the
               same:—

                            January — 1               July — 0
                           February — 4             August — 3
                             March — 4           September — 6
                              April — 0            October — 1
                              May — 2            November — 4
                              June — 5           December — 6
                  I'll give you a memory aid  for  remembering  each  of  these
                keys.  The method that follows is one way, and  I'll explain
                one other. You can  use whichever  you  like  best,  or  one
                which you think of yourself.
                  January  is  the first month  of the year;  therefore it is easy
                to recall that the key for January is 1.
                  February is a cold  month, it usually has plenty of snow;
                both the  words, "cold" and "snow"  have  four  letters, so  the
                key for February is 4.
                  In March the wind Wows. Both  "wind" and  "blow" have
                four letters; which will help you  to remember that the key
                for March is 4.
                  April is known for  its  showers.  "Showers" has seven
                letters;  all  the  sevens  must be  removed; (7 —  7 = 0) so we
                know that the key for April is zero.
                  The key  for May is  2.  Do you  recall  the game we  used  to
                play when we were  children,  the one  in which we  would say,
                "May I take 2 giant  steps?"  Well,  if you  remember that
                phrase, you will recall that the key for May is 2. Or, you
