his hand, waiting for his car to come

without an umbrella, came along after
two or three minutes and stepped under
the awning to observe:

how to carry an umbrella over their heads
to get the best protection from it? There's
a case In point on the other side of the
street. That man carries his pmbrell

are kept dry his heels and back are sop

why, yes"
"AIl of you do the same thing, women

ton they should.
But you know how 1t should be donef"

When There Were No Almanacs
By e. T. Brewster

IF there almanacs, nor calendars, nor
daily newspapers with the day of the month at
what time in the year it is? To be sure, should
be able to tell summer from winter but after
long spell of cold how should we know whether
warm day was really the beginning of spring or
only January thaw? Spring is early one year and
late another If we went by the weather we might
60 astray by month or more.
For ancient people who lived before the days of
astronomical observatories keeping track of the
day of the year very real problem If they
made mistake and planted too early or too late,
they might lose their crops and starve. In times of
famine they had to know just how far they
from the next harvest in order to make their food
hold out. Altogether it was pretty important
matter to have some fixed point in the year from
which to count the days.
The way they managed this They noticed.

as everybody must, that the is nearly
overhead in summer than in winter. and rises and
sets much farther round to the north They found
by watching the sunrise every morning throughout
the year that in mdwinter the appears south of
east As the year advances. it gets nearer and
to the east and west lines and continues to
work round toward the north until in midsummer
it is always just far north of east in midwnter
it was south After that turns and begins to work
back the other way.
By means of the sun, then. ancient people fixed
the days of the year. When they made UP their
minds to build, let us say, temple, they made it
face the sunrise the longest day of the year On
one day IN the year, therefore, and other, the
light of the rising shone straight through the
main gate of the building, along the outer court,
through the chief portal along the hall and galleries.
through doors and passages or between of
columns, until it lighted particular spot at the
farther end of the long building. On all days
cept the one which call the twenty-frst of June
the sun of course would be little out of line, and
its light, striking something the way would fail
to come clear through At the great temple of
karnak in Egypt there were seventeen doorways in
line and small dark cell at the end. For single
moment in the year this dark chamber became
light. Then the Egyptians knew that it mid
summer day, and could begin to count the days of
the next year.
Quite as frequently, however the ancient astrono-
mers, who were also priests had different New
Years day. They found that if they selected the
point on the horizon where the rose May 6,
on its way north, it rose there more August
8, on its way back, just e-quarter of the year
later. This gave them two points to count from
instead of one, and made convenient division of
the year into four equal seasons like the modern
spring, summer autumn, and winter. The Druds
who priests in Britain before the beginning of
English history, divided their year in this way In
fact, May day, though there has been small shift
owe'en is relic of their celebration when the year
was half done.
The main point to be remembered, however, is
that all over the ancient world, in Babyonia Egypt
Greece, and the British Isles, nearly all the old
temples are set to face the sunrise either of May
or OF June IL BY this simple means these early
~fxyflf1 od fhroo a,1 a0I
years ago, kept track of their dates and actually
knew better the length of the year and the correct
times for beginning it than it known during the
Middle Ages after much of the old learning had been
forgotten.

A T the coroner's inquest over the body of Penn

how the had been forewarned the of his
death. The wife testified that the evening previous
to his being killed he had returned to his home in
unusual state of depression, which the result of
the mental impression he had received that dire
catastrophe was awaiting him, and which he could
not Danish. During the night he started up from
slumber and complained that he felt as if ton of
rock was on his head. In the morning added to his
fit of detection the memory of what had trans
pired during the night and he would have remained
at home for that day, had not the wife made light
of the premonition When he departed from the
house he kissed his little daughter farewell, remark
ing that he did not expect to see her again.
That afternoon neighbor employed in the same
shift brought the wife the intelligence that the hus-
bandhadb been caught and killed under of rock,
and that he was the only one injured The wife has
tened to the mine shaft, exclaiming that she was
guilty of the murder of her husband, in that she had

difficulty restrained from hurting herself into the pit

on occasions innumerable, and he had learned to

would soon follow.
On the memorable fourteenth of April he informed
the members of his cabinet session that the preceding
night the dream had come to him, and as he had
seen it just preceding the important battles of
Antietam, Fredericksburg Gettysburg, and Others
he mentioned he realized that they were the
threshold of some momentous issue. In telling of
the dream he stated that when it held him he seemed
be in " singular indescrbable vessel but always
the same, moving with great rapidty toward dark
and indefinite shore" His auditors were profoundly
impressed by his earnest declaration that he felt
something would befa
