one. A sunny philosopher has said
that after they are thirty years old most

The editor of THE COMET has just re-
ceived, with compliments Of the pub
fishers, a copy Of the Kodol Almanac
and 200 Year Calendar, which is certain
ly most unique and useful book.
With copy of this publication at
hand one is in possession of calendar
which covers the past as far back as the
day of our National Independence,
meets all the requirements of the pres
ent, and dates as far into the future as
near the beginning of the next century.
By reference to this calendar the day
Of the week, of any given date in any
month Of the year, from 1776 to 1875,
may be found at a glance. This infor-
nation can not be found in any other
publication extant Another feature OF
remarkable interest that this pubIica-
ton possesses is its weather forecasts.
There predictions are not only full and
complete, and as accurate and reliable
as it is possible to calculate, but they
are definite geographically, thus local
izing the predictions and foretelling
the weather which may be looked fol
in each section of the country.
