 named as " the former mild month." 



.UN K, the sixth month of the year, named from tho Latin Jm>. 

 Ovid, in hi* 'Fasti' (vi. 25) makes Juno awert that the name was 

 exprewly given in honour of herself : 



" Xe Unwn lirnorw mlirlqae errore tnharU, 



Junlnt i noetro nomine nomen hsbet." 



In another part of the ' Fasti ' (vi. 87) he gives the derivation A j**u>ri- 

 but; a. May ha* been derived from Majartt : 



" Junluncitjuvrnum ; qui fult ante Mnnm." 



Those who derive the name from Junius Brutus, who began his 

 coMulship in this month, forget that, according to tradition, it had 

 received the appellation long before. 



In the old Latin or Alban calendar Juno was the fourth month, and 

 consisted of 26 days. Romulus is said to have assigned it a c. 

 ment of 30 day* Numa, who made it the sixth month, deprived it of 

 one day, which was restored by Julius Ctcsar, since which time it has 

 remained undisturbed. 



The Anglo-Saxons had several name, for the month of June. They 

 called it tear-moHalk, "dry month"; mi'lnimer-manatk, " midsummer 

 month"; and litha-trrra, "the earlier mild month," in contradistinction 

 to July. 



In this month Is the summer solstice. Pitiscus tells us that in 

 the Roman times the month of June was considered to be " n 

 aptlonmus." 



I'KHCS COMMUNIS, Medical PropertUt of. The wood of 

 the root and stem, the twigs or tops, with the leaves attached, and tho 

 fruits (galbuli, incorrectly termed berries), of the common junii-r, 

 all possess a peculiar aromatic flavour and odour, due to two peculiar 

 oils, differing fa their degree of volatility, which in chemical composi- 

 tion resemble French oil of turpentine, being destitute of oxygen, and 

 therefore only carburet, of hydrogen. In Britain the twigs and fruit., 

 and oils thence obtained are officinal ; on the continent the wood of 

 the root and .tern is used. From both, but especially the roots and 

 thick branches, more oil can be extracted than from the wood of tho 

 tnink. This last is used to burn as incense and for putiles. Articles 

 of furniture made of it are not eaten by insects, as is the case also with 

 cedar. The fruits are imported both from the north and south of 

 Europe. Thoee from the latter are richest in volatile oil. The che- 

 mical analysis of Tromnudorff give, of voktile oil I'O, wax 4-0, resin 

 lO'O, a peculiar kind of sugar with acetate and malate of lime 

 (,"iiii with aalt* of potuh and lime "'0, lignin 36-0, water 12-. The 

 fruiU require two years to rij>cn, out at the end of the first year, while 

 yet green, they are richest in volatile oil ; and they should be collected 

 at that time. Much of the volatile oil is converted into resin during 

 UM second year. (OFSEVA.! The fruits are seldom given, but may 

 be rubbed up with sugar. The oil is, however, one of the most j 

 ful of diuretics, four drop* acting strongly on the kidneys. But the
