Ingenious Method of
Ascerfo;ning a Date

In the days when calendars were
not known people had clever way
of finding the day Of any fixed ami
versary. The only fact you had to
know was the day of the week on
which New Years came. A key sem
tence IF II words was used In which
one word stood for each of the 70
months. The sentence was: "At
Dover dwelt George Brown, esquire,
good Christopher Finch and David
Friar."
Take, for example, the Fourth of
July. As July is the seventh month,
take the first letter of the seventh
word of the key sentence; that is, g !;
g Is also the seventh letter or the al
phabet. So begin with Monday, the
known New Year day. and count

which she had arrayed herself for this
unhappy scene. None that beheld them

a heart unused to 1t, that now wrought

"Yesl Let us wed" she said, even
at the door of the tomb. My life is
gone in vanity and emptiness. But at
its close there is one true feeling. 1t
has made me what was in youth; 1t
makes me worthy Of you. Time is no
more for both of us. Let lis wed for

caloric value of the food you ordinarily
eat, and then keep count of them so
you never exceed / 200 calories day.
