The almanac, properly so called Inits origin, is. not merely a device for.keep- ing people in mind of the progress of the year. It is an attempt to show `what destiny has in store for us as in- dicated by theposition of the stars in any particular year, and as, according `to astrological lore, the destinies of menare ruled by the different aspects of the planets, so also the human body is subject to the inuence of the con- stellations through which the sun ap- pears to pass in his yearly course. A French almanac of 1610 gives a dia- gram of the human body surrounded ` by all the signs of the zodiac and indi- cates the various organs and members over which these signs have power, and this for a guide pour les saignees, or to show at what periods blood may he let with safety. But the same al- manac also gives directions sensible enough for the avoidance of the plague which would not be found fault with 3 by a modern fashionable physician: a Who would keep his body in health And resist the infection of the plague. Let him seek joy and sadness fly; : Avoid places where-infections abound , And. cherish joyous company. A _ "A few examples exist of almanacs of this character before the invention of printing, although none, it is believed, earlier than the twelfth century. But some of the earliest specimens of print- ting are black printed German sheet al- manacs, which are chiey concerned about blood letting. --All the {Year Round. _ %"3%?ix_33f}.;; BI{{sE3'i'% to home jest now-won t be fer several.days.
