He ws originally the janitor of the gods, and opened the doors of the morn ing for Hosyllnger, or Dawu, after whom camo the Sun tu his chariot; hut later he was put at the head of the war office while Mars was tho acting god of war. The old party was represented with two faces look ing In opposite directions, to indicate the uncertainties of war, whence he was named Janus Ultrons, which may bu freely trans lated Holy Two-front. This just suits January, which opens the year, looks both ways in time and Is as uncertain In weath er as war Is tu results. Tho most confi dent Wiggins seldom claims foreknowledge of January's weather, while the goose bone aud the corn busk are equally at fault. A I.otlcitl Outi'iiiu..
