The British Museum possesses man
script almanacs of the fourteenth cen
tury. The earliest printed one N Europe
was Purbach's, Vienna, 1857 This and
all succeeding ones for several centuries
contained prognostications OF the
weather and fortune-telling. The first
common American almanac was that OF
William Bradford, in Philadelphia, in
1857. Benjamin Franklin's Poor
Richards Almanac" first published by
him in 1882, continued about twenty
five years.
The United States is now singulArly
wanting in an almanac of truly national
character. The admirable American
almanac, first published in Boston in
1928, and continuing thirty-three years
was by far the most complete publica-
tion OF its kind, and full sets of It are
now eagerly bought up whenever offered
Tor sale. While we in America can now
boast of no almanac referred to as a
national standard, there are seve eral in
Europe OF great weight, and among
them are the two which we particular
ize, viz, Whittaker's, of London, and
the famous continental work, the AL
manach de Gotha, published both in
| French and German, and now in the
| l1Oth yGdl VI Ab9 AeGNGs
Whittakcr's almanac, first issued in
London in 1859 is a model, and regarded
as the best in England. 1t is published
in paper, at the low price of one shil.
ling, and in a small octave of 400 pages
contains some 1900 different subjects
beside the usual calculations and dats
of the months. It is an invaluable mine
of information, and many persons in tht
United States now take it regularly al
the very best publication of its kind il
the language. The Almanach de Goth,
il a stout 24mo of over 1000 pages, is
sued at Gotha, Germany, both in Ger.
man and French. 1t has always beel
celebrated for its exact statistical fact
and its genealogical notices of nobl
families. 1t is always illustrated will
several portraits of sovereigns or note
princes or princesses, with full details @
the names and ages of every member c
the noble families of whom it treats.

DIscorerH of Counter IrrItatIon.

But few people now living are ac-
quainted with the theoretical idea of
counter irritation, which has been SO
much admired in the practice Of medi-
cine. 1t had its origin in the following
manner: A shoemaker living in Barns
ley, in Yorkshire, England. called in
DIR. Fellows for advice. He gave a
history of his case, summing it all up in
these words: In short. doctor, can't
stand sitting" Then" replied the
doctor, who was somewhat f1mous as a
wit, you fool, why don't you sit stand
ing P" This so enraged the cobbler
that he left the physician and sent in a
Dill for a pair of boots. The doctor
raid the bill, gave a fresh order
for another pair and soon gained
tie confidence of his patient. Learning
hat the cobbler had vili6ed him,
he determined to make him suffer. He
prepared machine which by means oi
| a fiy-wheel threw forward and backward
a board like a weaver's shuttle. Beneath
this board were placed large pebbles
When the cobbler applied again for treat.
ment for the nervous prostration with
which he was suffering he was strapped
by the docter to this board and the
machine put in motion. The poor cob.
bier groaned in agony and su fl sred as il
upon the rack. but the doctor put on al
the power until the cobbler yelled for
| help. The next day the patient had sc
much improved that he applied for an
other trial of the machine. 1t effected d
complete cure and the doctor became
famous throughout Yorkshire as a curel
irritation machine, which was invented

The Feet.

The odor of pure perspiration is not
unpleasant, as may be proved in clean
and healthy babes. When. however
the other eliminating organs-those that
strain the waste matter from the blood
do not duly perform their functions,
their work is attempted by the skin
Then disagreeable odor lis generally
given to the perspiration. Even in these
cases the odor is produced mainly after
the perspiration has been absorbed by
the clothing.
This last fact is generally true of the
bad odor which is associated with the
excessive respiration of the feet of
some people. DIR. George Thin, of Eng
land, has been investigating the matter,
and has communicated the results of his
experiments to the Royal Society.
The perspiration of the body is gener-
ally slightly acid. I hat in the soles OF
the stockings and DO OTIS lie found to b,
alkaline. In this there is a rapid de.
velOpment OF class of bacteria (micro-
scOpic vegetations) characterized by 8
tetid smell (bacterium ietidum). The
fluid in the soles of the stockings and o.
the boots examined by the doctor was
found to TEEN with them. Thus the
Odor is supposed in some cases TO b,
due, not directly to the perspiration al
it comes from the feet, but to it's subse
| Quent putreiaction.
The afflicted will be glad to learn tina
this odor can be wholly destroyed b,
boracic acid-the acid of boron. Th
stockings should be changed twice
day. When taken off they should b
placed for some hours in a jar contain
ing solution of the acid. They ar
again fit for use after drying.
To prevent the odor from getting
into the boots, cork sOles should b.
worn, and placed at night in the jar AM
dried the next day. Washing the ten
der and sore parts of the feet with tn
acid will relieve the ACCOMPANYING feel
ing of heat and pain Youths O1nl

The iavorite wife Of the sultan of
Morocco is dead. She was thirty four
years of age, and had been the queen Of
the harem for twenty years. She was
removed from her apartmentsto TO kiosk
in the palace garden, hut the change did
not benefit her, and the sultan ordered
that she be buried in the kiosk where
she died. Eight court officers dug her
grave. The sultana was wrapped in q
costly shawl, and all her clothing was
laid in her grave, so that no living per-
son might wear any of it. Her jewels
were broken at the grave and the frag-
ments given to the poor. An3 after the
interment the furniture in her apart
ments was demolished and the rooms
were all locked.

A few days ago, up on the Colorado,
says the Austin (Texas) Statesman, 8
couple bent on marriage procured a
license and set out with one or two
friends TO look up parson. They
reached the river, but alas the woulo :
be bridecould not cross. They were in
pickle. The only parson for long,
weary miles was just across the river,
while visions OF irate parents with
double-barreied shotguns formed very
long and troublesome procession
through the minds of the two lovers.
The weather was cold, the river was up
and what could they doP One OF the
escort suggested that he would swim the
river and see, if possible, the parson,
who undoubtedly would fix up plan to
tie the unptial knot. He did SO, found
the preacher and soon had him down on
the river bank. The water was cold
and deep and he refused point blank to
cross over, to the very great distress OF
the young couple on the other side.
Necessity is not only the mother ofinven-
tions, but is the mother of expedients.
The parson concluded to marry the
couple across the river and they joined
hands and took their stand near the
waters edge, while the preacher, on the
opposite bank, in stentorian voice pro-
nounced the marriage service and de-
clared them man and wife.
