thrice daily (morning, midday and

celebrated its millennium. For tha first
400 years 1t was monthly. In 1851,
A. D., it became weekly and in 1880
it became daily. At present, as
stated, it is triquotidian, or thrice
daily. Each daily edition is different
throughout and is even printed upon
paper of different shade-in the norn-
ing yellow, white at noon and gray ct

different colors is that it prevents the
