THE GREATEST ALMANAC.
A Wonderful Collection of Facts issued BY
The Philadelphia Press"

To those familiar with the Almanac
issued by the Philadelphia Press.
Pennsylvania's Greatest Newspaper.
the announcement that the 1899 edition
is on sale is quite sufficient to induce
purchase. Those who have examined
the contents of the two previous VOL
umes issued by that paper know that
there is not to be found in the
United States-and, if not there.
nowhere in the world - an al
manac which surpasses the Press for
accuracy, comprehensiveness, variety
and attractiveness. It is a volume of
over 800 pages, replete with the infor
nation that every citizen interested in
the past, the present or the future of
the country in which he lives. needs
constantly. What the PHILADELPHIA
Press does for the news of the
world daily its Almanac does for the
events of the year. There is not one
department of human activity which is
not touched on. The farmer and the
merchant, the clerk and the profess
slonal man may each find in it some
thing to interest and to instruct. 1t
answers the many questions concern
ing the Government of the United
States and of foreign nations, is a val
liable resume of the war with Spain,
abounds with statistics from CONNER
cial and industrial pursuits, and must
be indispensable to every thinking
American citizen. The Almanac may

No Prisons Needed.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks, bolts and bars are
not required. Yet its history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two thefts.
Of these two cases, one was that of
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done so to
supply his family, who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do it, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was con-
sidered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by Ger
man, who stole II sheep. But as he was
in comfortable circumstances and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property.

She Kept Her Appointment.

A. was a young man in a cavalry
regiment who fell in love with B., the
daughter of an Opulent merchant. He
grew tired of her, and when his regi-
ment was ordered to the east he left her
without explanations.
Returning home with more dust than
medals on his coat, he dined and went
to ball, where B. was the daintiest
among the beauties. They danced, and
she showed no resentment on the score
of past unfaithfulness. Pressed by A.,
she gave him an appointment at a GER
tain church near her fathers house,
which had been their trysting place in
other days
A. went happily to his club, and his
old friend, Major c., offered him a
cigar.
81 met Lucy B. this evening"" said
A., and he told his friend of the ap-
pointment she had given him.
The major expressed no surprise, but
said Lucy was a good and forgiving
girl-for he knew what had gone before.
A. went to the church on the day
named, and there was a wedding. When
the ceremony was over, B., the bride,
came out of the church on the arm of
Major c., the bridegroom.
A. went home to his lodgings.-Pear-
