ABOUT ALMANACS.

-Four millions OF almanacs have been

price being ten crowns OF gold. NoStra-
liamus, who died in 1866, is said to have
been the llrst to enrich the almanac
with predictions concerning the
weather, and tins custom had obtained
in England IN the days OF Shakespeare,
who died torty-tye years aiterward.
Considering the present deIugo OF
almanacs, how strange it seems that
this production should ever have been

case in England from the days OF james

No action that could be taken by the
American congress would result 50 nd

increase of custom duties on foreign
wines, even il such increase were tenn

his own country, aud California wines
are not properly appreciated in Amor
lea. A belief in the foreign and Il dis
belief in the domestic article have pro-
vented the general introduction Of the
products of the California vintage.
Prejudice and ignorance have dono

California wines than any other cause.
If this prejudice could be removed, the
success of California's grape industry

A former proprietor of the famed Cliff

his guests with California wines almost
exclusively. His patrons never sus-
pected the deceit of the host, but be-
slowed liberal praise on his cellar. A
high duty on French wines would cause
many people to use the now dospiscd
California production and would in
ovitably lead to its general adoption.
