nIdnst Almanac.

The oldest almanac in existence is
the "Almanach National" which has
been issued by the French govern
ment since 1886. It's name has been
changed a good many times during
its career OF 225 years. Originally the
"Almanach Royal" It became Ma.
tIonaI" in 1888, Imperial" in 1905,
and reverted to its original name nine
years later. Since then the title has
been altered four times. Like most
publications OF this sort, the Al
manach National" has grown bulky
with advancing years. The first issue
contained IS pages, as compared with
1850 pages in the current issue.

A single word was often Sufficient
for Talleyrand to. make his keenest
retort. When a hypochondriac. who
had VIGOROUSLY led a prohigate life,
complained to the diplomatist that

Talleyrand simply answered, Al

"oh. madaue!"
In less than a year the woman had
married again, and then his letter Of
