The DnminicaI Letter.

To The Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please explain what il meant by Domi-
nical letter, or letters, as seen in almanacs.
Y.
The Dominica letter is the letter which,
in almanacs. denotes Sunday OF the Lords
day (d,es Domino. The first seven letters
of the alphabet are used for this purpose,
the same letter standing for Sunday during
a whole year Except in leap-year, when
the letter is changed at the end of Feb
ruary). After twenty-eight years the same
letters return in the same order. The
Dominica letters go backwards one day
every common year. and two every leap
year-e. a., if the Dominica letter of a
common year be g. + will be the Domini-
cal letter for the next year.
