AN ANQIENT ALMANAC.
An almanac, 3000 years old, found in Egypt, is.in theJßritish Museum. It is supposed to be the oldest in the^world. It was, found on the : body of an Egyptian, who had, doubtless regarded it with as much reverence as he did the Egyptian Bible— " The Book (of the Dead"— and, indeed, it is strongly religious in character. The days are writtenin red ink, and under each is a. \ figure signifying the probable state of the.weather for that day. Like the other Egyptian manuscrips, it is written on papyrus. It is written in columns. It is not in its entirety, but was evidently torn before its owner died. 'It clearly establishes the date of the reign of Rameses tho Great, but contains nothing else of value.
