NOVEL CALENDAR.

Strips Over Each Date Are Detached Daily, Indicating Current Date. A custom common with probably everybody in using calendars is to cross out with a pen or pencil each date of the month as it goes. There is then small chance of mistaking the date. A Philadelphia man suggests a much better and neater method of checking off the dates in a calendar he has patented, an illustration of which, is shown here. In this calendar there is a series of transverse paper strips extending to the center of each row of figures. The dates are printed

ed partly-upon the sheet and partly upon the strips, the latter being secured to the sheets only between the dates and detachable under the figures. When the strip is removed the top and bottom portions of the date still remain visible. Each day the strip covering the corresponding date is removed. The user is thus able to tell at a glance the date of the month. Also, if he desires to refer to the dates of days already passed, he can readily determine them from the partly broken figures.
