     ===========================================================================
     To find the day of the week corresponding to any date, find
     the small letter directly under the month and opposite the
     day of the month; the same small letter also appears in the
     vertical column that contains the number of the year, and if
     the line in which it stands is followed out to the right, the
     day of the week is found. Thus, the small letter under March
     and opposite 18 is b; b appears again directly over 1904, and
     at its right is the word Friday. March 18 fell on Friday in
     1904, and also in 1898, 1892, etc. The calendar has other
     uses, as for finding the months which begin on Sunday in a
     particular year, etc.
