CONCERNING CALENDARS. tame Interesting Ones Date mm Fu Back as the Fourth Century, Among the Greeks and Romans al manacs or calendars were not written for the general public, but were pre served as part of the esoteric learning of the priests, whom the people bad to consult not only for ttia dates of the festivals, but for the proper times whon various legal proceedings might be in stituted About 300 B. C, however, one Enclus Flavius, secretary to Ap plus Claudius, stole these secrets by re peated applications to tilt priests and collated the Information so gained. It was really publishing an almanac When, as Llvy relates, Flavius exhibit ed the tastl on white tables around the forum. From this time similar tablets containing the calendar, the festivals, astronomical phenomena and sometimes allusions to historical events became quite common. They have been dug up In Pompeii and elsewhere. There are also extant Christian cal endars dating as far back as the fourth century, which give the names of the saints and other religious information. One of the most famous of the cal endars of the middle ages Is that com piled by Petrus of Dada in A. D. 1300. A manuscript copy is preserved In the Bavlllan library at Oxford;' The Sym bolical Man or Man of Signs (Homo Slgnorum), still a common feature In almanacs, appears in this book, not, It is conjectured, for the first time, as it seems to have been a survival from the time of Ptolemy's "Almagesi," a collec tion of classic observations and prob lems relating to geometry and astron omy. The first printed almanac was the "Pro Plurlbus Annls," issued at Vienna in 1457 by an astronomer named Pur bach. The earliest known almanac de voted expressly to the year of issue was published by Rabelais in 1533. Thenceforth the ephemeral yearly character of the publication came to be definitely recognized by almanac mak ers. Nostradamus set the fashion of incorporating predictions of coming events Into almanacs, a fashion that has continued to this day in all purely astrological brochures of this sort despite Intermittent efforts to sup press it by royal authority la France and elsewhere. Era. WEATHER PROPHETS. Blow out a candle, and If the wick continues long to smolder look for bad weather If it goes out quickly, tlie weather will be fair. The twelve days after ChriRtmas in dicate the weather for the following year. Each day in order shows the weather for one month. When it begins to enow, notice the size of the flakes. If they are very fine, the storm will be a long one; if large, the storm will soon be over. If the chlckenscome out while it rains, it is a sign that the storm is to be a long one. If they stand around under the shed, the storm will be short. When the cattle He down as soon as they are turned out to pasture in the morning, It Is because they feel a rheu matic weariness In their bones, and you can look for rain soon. - When a night passes and no dew falls, it is a sign It Is going to rain. This omen loses much of Its mystery when one remembers that dew has not fallen because the night was clouded. When you see the sun drawing water at night, know that it will rain on the morrow. The sun Is said to be draw ing water when Its rays can be seen shining through rifts In distant clouds. Brain Strain. A French investigator has come to the conclusion that the brains of mili tary men give out most quickly. He states that out of every 100,000 men of the army or naval profession 199 are hopeless lunatics. Of the liberal pro fessions artists are the first to suc cumb to the brain strain, next the law yers, followed at some distance by doc--tors, clergy, literary men and civil servants. Striking an average of this group, 177 go mad to each 100,000. London Express. Clackamas County Record. $1.75. THREE SHORT" TALES: Vetera Callaraa Waa Are la Teaek With the Waya ef the Warla. A writer In the Outlook, after lavish ing pity on the little children of the rich, who by modern educational meth ods, be avers, are made blase before they reach their teens, continues: Listen, you who are murmuring "old fogy" under your breath listen to three short but pregnant tales: i Past the spectator's window, one morning loitered two chubby little lads, their arms around each other's neck, The spectator thought to himself what a pretty picture of childish unsophlstl cation they made. When they spoke, however, he caught his breath. "I won $ yesterday," remarked the younger of the two, who may possibly have been eight "Honest T Howr demand ed the other, big eyed. "Oh, my father and I bet on a race, and my horse won," was the nonchalant reply. Before the spectator had fairly recov ered from the staggering effect of this speech a group of little girls drew np before1 the house. One of the littlest of them was in difficulties with her hair, which had been dressed in some occult feminine fashion beyond the spectator's power to describe and had slipped 1U ribbon. As an older girl .struggled to re duce it to order she said remonstrat lngly: "What makes you try to wear it this way, Gladys? Ifs much too short." The little tot turned on her a withering glance. "It's the fashion V she exclaimed, with crushing finality. To these disclosures of unblinking so phistication may be added the tale of a neighbor whose little boy is Just six. He had hoped to keep the child uncon scious that be is the heir of millions and had brought him up in the strictest simplicity. And yet the other night, as he climbed on his father's knee for a good night kiss, he electrified the father by demanding, "Papa, how much are you worth?" .. . 1 HAD NO FAITH IN SIGNS. He Was n Enemy of Superstition, With an Exception. Mr. Holley looked at his grandson with a .mixture of amusement and re proach on his shrewd old face. It was dusk In the barn, a time for confi dences. "I dunuo where in all the earth you got such notions, sonny," the old man said. "Not from your ma's folks or your pa's either. There never was any talk of belief in signs und su perstitions in either the Holley or the Fawcett stock, that's sure. It must have come from that foreign lady they had to teach you, I expect" "And you don't believe there's any harm in a bird's flying into the house or breaking a mirror or seeing a black cat grandpa?" asked the little boy earnestly. "And don't you care wheth er a pin sticks straight up in the floor or which shoulder you see the moon over or whether you get anything on you wrong side out? Not any of those things?" "All foolishness," said the old man, with a reassuring pat of the hot little hand. "I'm glad you've talked It out with me, sonny. Now, you Just put it out of your head, and I'll tell you what I'll do. When we go up to the house, I'll give you a little, ofd penny I've been saving for you for a lucky piece. You Just carry it in your pocket all the time, change it from one suit of clothes to another, and see what it '11 bring you." "Do they really bring luck, grand pa?" asked the little boy. "Course they do," said Mr. Holley firmly. "When we get another spare time, I'll relate to you a few caties that's come under my own eye of lives saved bj 'em, and so forth. Course they do." Swelling the Unsuccessful Rank. A great many men have been left be hind because of their llstlessness, their easy going ways. They were too slow. Opportunities would not wait for them. They would have taken advantage of them, would have succeeded, If the chance had not hurried by so fast If the opportunities had tarried awhile, had given them a chance to look them over and consult their friends or if they had only come back, these gentle people would now be on the heights in stead of looking wistfully up from the foot of the mountain. But alas, oppor tunities never return, and he who is not ready to seize theni as they flit onward will have only regrets for his portion. Siamese Reporting-. Siamese reporters are not quite so deft as our own specimens, says the London Globe, but they have a fine Im pressionistic touch which charms the Jnded fancy. Here is an account of a murder from that happy land: "Shooting outrage! Oh, fearful ago ny! Khoon Tong, one of Thya Song's staff, was on a mission to Lampoon, and on his return Instantly shot dead by some miscreants, scoundrels. Oh, untimely death! Oh, fearful! All friends expressed their morne. The cowardice dog is still at large. Six soldiers and tlx policemen were at once dispatched." All or None. Busy Merchant Well, sir, what do you want?

Hew It Waa That Carle Sam Built It ea British SelL Curious Indeed Is an American fort Which was built on British soil. How many can guess what fort it Is and where Iota ted? The name Is Fort Montgomery, and the location la on an Island near the foot of Lake Champlaln, about half a mile northeast of Rouse's Point N. Y. A short time ago, when traveling In that part of the country, I saw this fort and asked the name of it "Why, that Is Fort Blunder," said my informant "Did yo never hear of it?" I confessed Ignorance, and he explained matters. It seem that after the war of 1812 the government of the United States became- convinced that the entrance to Lake Cbamplaln should be guarded by a fort strong enough to engage any British fleet which might attempt to force an entrance to the lake, and so Fort Montgomery was constructed at a cost tat nearly $500000. It was as immense fortification for those days and waa arranged for three tiers of guns. Just about the time It was completed the Jofnt surveyors fixing the Ud be tween the UnlAd States and Canada came along and, after doing a good bit of figuring, announced tbt v'ort Mont gomery was on Canadian soil. The northern boundary of Mew York state waa the forty-fifth parallel, and this fort waa several hundred yards over the line. Work on the fort came to au Immediate standstill, and the matter waa made the subject of a special treaty. It was decided that In view of the fact that the United States had not In tentionally encroached on Canadian soli the forty-fifth parallel should be bent a little out of its course at this point so as to include the fort That Is why the fort is called "Fort Blunder." It was never armed and has never been occupied by more than one or two men. New York Herald. PICKINGS FROM FICTION. De tlredest people in the world is dem dat takes de most ease. "Son."

"The Loom of Life." An Emperor's Strange Fancy. Strange fancies have taken hold of some men regarding the manner In which their bodies were to be disposed of after death and the ceremonies to be observed at their funerals. The great Emperor Charles V. had the curious Idea of celebrating his own funeral. Shortly before his death he caused a tomb to be made in the chapel of the monastery of Estremadura, to which he had retired after his abdica tion, and on its completion he was car ried to it as though dead. Tlaced in a cofilu and accompanied by a proces sion, he was borne along, while cuaiUs were sung, prayers said and tears shed. After the solemn farce was over he was left alone In the chnpel, where he remained a short time before rising out of the coffin. Too Good Illa-hlnndcrs.
