When ridden fainting apelli come npon a lady, yon may always suspect •one uterine disturbances or trouble, or some great disorder in the circulation and carte centers. A remedy that has al ways proved successful In warding ofTaud removing the tendency to a recurrence of fainting spells—that removes the cause of them, corrects the circulation of blood, and gives to.the system that even run ning nervous enenyao essential, Is Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription. The “Prescription* Is guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded. Nothing else does at much. You only pay for the good you get.

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or counting in fives and tens with the fingers; and finally the Arabio notation, with its ten symbols or figures, superseded all other methods.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. —SL Louis Globe-Democrat Tbs Greatest Discovery ol the Axe.
