Esq" which predicted the death of
Partridge among other things.
Old Moore has been said TO have been
a DR.. Francis Moore of Bridgenorth.
Its first year of issue has not been def
nitely settled, but was not earlier than
1850 or later than 1913. An early al
manac that should appeal TO ladies is
the well known "Lady's Diary" which
first appeared in 1704-1705. and was
finally merged In the "Gentieman's
Diary" after a life OF some forty years.
The compiler was anxious to improve
the feminine mind Of that period and
impart the mysteries OF mathematics
and philosophy and "scientifical knowl-
edge" 1t contains all the usual infor-
nation, and we ind the months headed
by verse; here is that for February:
As yet the frozen Lakes remain
And Hoary-Frost frequents the Plain,
Where tatling Echo begs his stay,
But quickly now he must away.
Some OF the issues also contain n note
about the weather for the months OF
the previous year-a useful feature.
We also find a selection OF letters
from subscribers and a number OF
"Enlgmas," "ParadoXes," and what not.
with answers to those in the previous
Issues. In order TO make the arithmetic
and science attractive. various prob
lens are wrapped up In doggerel verse,
the following being an example from
one of the issues:

what was n OF the Clock fain would know
And beg that you the same to me would

If the ladies' of the day worked out
such obstruse problems as this It shows
that those who maintain that the
women OF the past were uneducated
are not exactly correct. There were
also cookery recipes, and some biog-
raphles of famous women to balance the
scientific side, and the almanac's long
life proves that 1t appealed TO the la
dies of the period.

These old almanacs give us some in
sight into the superstitions and beliefs
of the time. and in Winters Cam
bridge Almanac" for 1885 is a version OF
the rhyme about the length of the
months which we all know so well.
Another almanac which lasted nearly
as long as the better knkwn "Old
Moore" was the Poor Robin" which
was first issued in 1863 and lasted I'M
til 1928. Its early issues were very
vulgar, but its many volumes are full
of information of the life and customs
and beliefs Of the times. Two other
aimanacs which were famous We're is

CALENDAR LORE.

Q OMETIMES we are apt to wonder
what was done for a calendar be-
fore the days OF printing. for with
out the little almanac we keep in our
purses or the largS one We hang on the
wall we should he lost. But calendars
existed hundreds Of years before the
era OF printing; they are to be found as
inscriptions cut on stones or on bricks
and the anclents compiled calendars In
manuscript the Romans having a num-
Der OF what are to all intents and pur-
poses calendars of the work Of the year.
Then there We're the old wooden clog
calendars, which were sort of tally
stick after the style of Robinson CRU
soe's calendar. \ clog calendar con-
sisted OF square block Of wood, with
the months on each face, the days being
notches cut in the edge, a longer notch
denoting Sunday, and symbc's showing
the various saints days and festivals.

wedge finish of these domestic voiles
should have mention. II Is quite as
well done as 1t is in the imports and
in such matters of finish our manu-

forward. The 100 two ply weave or

now and there Is another forward move
for we have depended upon the foreign
looms for cotton voiles Of that calibre

the snowflake wolfe of last season but
with rather more delicacy, is shown in
all the modsh colors, and dark tones,
such as military blue and battleshp

some new lines, while the popular sand

year. but a kind OF perpetual almanac
which was hung up In the home and
could be referred to when required.
There were also various manuscript
calendars compiled by monks and others,
one or two of which might be called the
forerunners OF the popular calendars or
year books of the present day. 1t seems
that the first printed almanac was Is
sued in Buda about 1870. and although
very expensive, even for those days,
1t was eagerly bought in many coun-
tries Most Of these early calendars
made special reference to agricultural
work. and one OF the most inter-
esting Is certainly that which be-
came known in England as 1.-THE
Shepherds Kalendar," which appears
to have been first printed In Paris In
1893. II contains many interesting
woodcuts showing the work of each
month in the year, and also that figure
or chart Of a skeleton to show the In
fluence Of the heavenly bodies on the
human frame. Round the figure are
depicted the sun and stars, and lines
run from these to the organs of the body
which they were supposed to influence.
A translation OF this almanac was printed
III IdllS uIlitT the lltle Inc hdlen-
dayr OF shyppars," but its English is so
awful that when the first London issue
came out its publisher referred to this
translation as mat by no englysshe
man" and therefore could not be under
stood by one.
Even the tiny purse almanac is not
altogether new. for in the Bodleian Lii
brary at oxford Is small one of fifteen
or sixteen pages, measuring two by
two and one half inches. which was
printed by Wynkyn de Worde, and
therefore must have appeared very
early in the sixteenth century. 1t was
also about this time that the astrologi-
cal almanac came into use, as we can
tell by several references by Shake
! speare. One OF these almanacs was
Leonard Digges's "A Prognostication
Everlasting and Of Right Good Effect"
which appeared in 1853 and In several
subsequent years.
In the days OF the Stuarts there
were several of these almanacs, two of
the best known being by Booker and
Lilly. The former is said to have had
a passage of arms with Charles /. be-
cause he was not altogether correct, and
the latter declares he used to be con-
suited by that unfortunate monarch,
while II has been said that the Round
heads went into the battle of Dunbar
with his almanac in one hand and their
swords in the other, He claimed to
have foretold the great fire of Lon
don and the plague, but subsequently
withdrew this when asked about 1t.
His slmana" provided the model for Old
Moore ana others. for he used to give
wonderful prophecies in vague iangua &c
that might mean anything or nothing,
