CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
ANCIENT ALMANAcs.
Got Rare Volumes and Saw Others Of
Priceless Value.

Edmund NJ GLADDEN., of Philadel
phia, who returned from Europe re.
Gently, after making an exhaustive
search for ancient almanacs, says he
possesses the rarest collection Of thai
form of literature in the world. He
owns one of the few original copies
Cf Poor Richards Almanac issued
By Benjamin Franklin, and volume,
4x5 inches, printed On a substance
which looks like silk, issued in Spain
in 1892 by Don Michael Fernandez
y Perez, giving the dates of feast
days of the year, with an axiom for
each.
Mr.. GLADDEN. saw in England the
Egyptian almanac, on which the days
are written in red ink on papyrus in
columns. Urder each column are
characters signifying the probable
state of the weather for that day.
1t is owned by the British Museum
and is the most highly priced almanac
in the world.
The almanac collector says the
most elaborate almanac in the world
Is that issued by the Chinese govern
ment, which consists of twelve thick
volumes. 1t does not deal with
weather probabilities, but gives full
information of lucky times and places.
for performing acts of everyday life.
1t is relied upon implicitly by the
peasant population. The most expen.
sive publication of it's character, Mr..
GLADDEN. says, is the Nautical Al
manac in Great Britain. which costs
$4,000 a year, and is directed by a
Fellow of the ROYAL Society.
