JULY.

Walk about in armour for fear of mad dogs. The planetary system this

month will go on as usual; distrust anybody who tells you to the

contrary. Be a philosopher, and have as few wants as possible—cut off

your legs, and then you wont require boots, which you will find to be a

saving. When you sleep in church do not snore; it is disrespectful to

the establishment. If you go to the opera and drop a double-barrelled

lorgnette from the fifth tier, and it cracks a man's skull below, bring

an action against his representatives for the value of the glass. Make

yourself comfortable.
