Th.lr Orixtn and Orawlb—Omtluc Hack
Over Til re. Tbouand Yean— Early Style,
and DffficM—Ylullt to Salt the TuUi of
the Day.
The invention of the almanae was the
beginning of history, in the sense that
history Is philosophy teaching by ex
ample. Previous to that important and
convenient revelation, there was practi
cally no basis of comparison, no process
of marking the course of time, no means
of connecting the past with the present
and the present with the future.
The art of calculation, the whole great
system of mathematics, had its origin in
the pebble device, used to count sheep
by dropping a pebble in a basket for
each one as it passed until an entire
flock got by, then enumerating another
flock in the same way, and finally de
termining the relative numbers of the
two by alternately taking a pebble from
each basket until one was exhausted.
Next came the chalk marks, or straight
lines in blocks of five, the last being
drawn across the other four at an angle,
which plan is still largely employed;
then the plan of two notched sticks—the
flrst double entry idea—was evolved:
then came tlic digit system, or counting
in fives and tens with the fingers; and
finally the Arabio notation, with its ten
symbols or figures, superseded all other
methods.
PEUBLES AND CHALK MARKS.
It Is easy to understand that, while
the world was thus slowly learning how
to count, It could have no history. There
was no way to record events or to ad
just and combine facts. The pebbles and
chalk marks and notched sticks only an
swered the crude purposes of a life that
took no account of yesterday or to-mor
row. It was not possible for the aver
age mind to have any conception ol
dates or periods, distances or localities.
The relation of what was to what had
been and what might be did not enter
into the prevailing order of thought and
feeling. One day was as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
There was no intellectual growth, no
liermanent escape from the right of sav
agery, ao long as the gift of measuring
space and time was absent; men began
to he men only when they acquired that
advantage, and were able to connect the
experiences of one generation with the
neoeseities of the next, or, in other words,
to grasp tho doctrine of accumulation,
which is the eource of all development
When they came to see that the whole
was greater than dny part, and that
part was nothing unless rooted to the
whole, they were placed in the way of
harmonizing themselves with their en
vironment and accomplishing sane and
useful results. Time was invested with
appreciable value, and the procession of
the days took on a practical purport
Wings were provided for intelligence.
The caged reason of the race secured the
soaring privilege, and its horizon widened
with every effort First the pebbles were
cast away, then the notched sticks, then
the digital device; and thus the dawn of
history slowly but surely approached.
EARLY ALMANACS.
The first almanacs—that is to say,
the first histories—were of Arabian ori
gin, and reflected the local genius of the
people in a very striking way. They
served as models in other countries for
hundreds of yean. The oldest known
copy of such a work is preserved in the
British Museum, and dates back to the
time of Romctes the Orest, of Egypt,
who lived 1,200 yean before the birth of
Christ It is written on papyrus, in red
Ink, and covena period of six yean.
The entries relate to religious cere
monies, to the fates of children born on
jiven days, and to the regulation of
xitinen enterprises in accordance with
planetary influences. “Do nothing at
this day,” is one of the warnings.
If thou seest anything at ail this day
will be fortune,” is another entry.
Look not at a rat this day,” “Wash not
with water this day,” and “Oo not out
before daylight this day” are soma of
the additional caution*. This almanao
was found in an old tomb, and it sup-
xwed to Irave been buried with its
Egyptian owner when be was converted
into a mummy for future explorers to
dig up and dissect in the interest of sci
ence and literature.
Next after this in point of age among
the existing specimens at ancient alma
nacs are some composed in the Fourth
century. They are Raman church calen
dars, giving the names of the saints and
other religious information. The Baltic
nations, who were not versed in papyrus
making, had calendars engraved on ax
helves, walking sticks and other articles
of personal use. Tho days were notched,
with a brood mark fur Sunday, and the
saints’ days were symbolized in various
devices, such as a harp for SL David’s, a
gridiron for SL Lawrence’s, a lover's
knot for St. Valentine's, and so on. The
Saxon almanacs are numerous and con
tain historical as well os ecclesiastical
entries. It to possible to trace in these
curious records oil tire changes of popu
lar belief and taste. They were pre
pared to meet the current demand and
to constitute a systematic story of what
took place in successive periods and how
knowledge increased with the revolving
veare. We owe to them most that we
know of the people for whom they were
made and by whom they were indorsed.

Dyspepsia is perhaps the most preva
lent of all chronic diseases, and one too,
up to the present time has bafiled the
skill of the most eminent physicians
nearly all the .proprietary medicines
have keen tried and failed. After
■pending years of study, Dr. Holt has
at length succeeded in getting up a
remedy (Dr. Holt's Dyspeptic Elixir)
that has never failed to cure in a single
instance. It you suffer with this dis
ease, try one bottle and be convinced,
It is one of the best liver medicines
known to the profession. Liver com

complaints, constipation, biliiousness,
