HOW TO FIND WHAT Y
OU WANT FIRST.
GET THE "YEAR,"
Colcreii-i^mc-irit , ^^forma¬
tion
PEOPLE WILL TALK.
You may get through the world, but
'twill be very slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we
go; :
We'll be Worried and fretted, and
kept in a stew,
For meddlesome: tongues will have
! something to do,
For people will talk.
And don't you forget it.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
presumed;
You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, or
else you're a fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
i cool,
For people will talk.
\ And don't you forget it.
If generous and noble, they'll vent
' out their spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that
you're iselflsh and mean;
If upright and honest, and fair as the
day,
They'll call you a rogue in a sly,
sneaky way, ■ • \ :
For people will talk.
. And don't you forget it.
And then if you show the least bold¬
ness of heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your
own part,
They will call you an upstart, con¬
ceited and vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop
to explain, >
For people will talk.
And don't you forgot it.
If threadbare your dress or old fash¬
ioned your hat.
Some one will surely take notice of
that, !
And hint rather strong that you can't
pay your Way,
But don't get excited, whatever they
say,
For people will talk.
And don't you forget it. .
If your dress is in fashion don't think
to escape,
For they criticize then in a different
shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your
tailor's unpaid,
But mind your own business, there's*
naught to be made,
For people will talk.
And don't you forget it.
Now, the best way to do, is to do as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease: ' ■ i
Of course, you will meet with all sorts
of abu^e,
But don't think to stop them, it ain't
any use.
For people will talk.
And don't you forget it.
—As we travel through life many
things are forgot,
'Midst its worry and bustle and fret;
But we're never allowed to forget
that it's hot
While our friends are beside us you
bet. , •< ,
There is so little money earned in
attending to other people's affairs
that we wonder they don't quit it.
SCANDAL.
Far blacker than a raven's wings
It croaks and feeds on unclean things.
Nor lets the shadow of a doubt
Soften the lie if burrows out.
With tongue-blades keener than a
knife
It probes the bleeding wounds of
• life— •
Lays bare the motive and the deed.
And carrion makes from flower seed.
It. mangles love, and smears with lust
Lilies of purity and trust,—
Fattens on sins of king or slave,
And fouls with slime a new-made
grave. .. .. ,
Each man of us in this world is a
Pilgrim whose road stretches down
the isthmus of time. This road con¬
nects the continents of the past and
the future. In youth, as we travel;
we pluck flowers; sing with .the;birds;
select friends from those we meet,
and grow ecstatic over the outline of
the continent of the future as it rises
to view. In middle life we grow
steady of pace, sober of mind; change
our sOng; make few friends and
glance backward over our shoulden
When we turn down the hill and the
sun of life dips the horizon, we love
to ignore the lengthened shadow and
face toward the joy of the beginning:
At last we come to a realization that
the pilgrimage has been one of soul;
and when our feet strike the eternal
land, and the quest is over, we find
that we have carried through which
we have passed. This is the ie ^on
of life's prigrimage.

Principle of the Cosmopolitan Society
of the United States.
Giving a synopsis ©f its origin from
Ocobor 12, 1492, to the present time.
In 1492 there was organized the
above-named Society, with Christo¬
pher Columbus as President, general
manager. In this Society were In¬
dians, Spaniards and others. In one
way or another this Society existed,
with various changes of names and
methods of operation, till 1776.
Then, for better protection of its
members, it became incorporated in
what is known as a close Corporation
for mutual benefit. Well, in 1863,
finding it necessary to have more
members, there were initiated, at one
time, several thousand of aliens, who
up to that time had not been thought
of, but the final certificate of member¬
ship was not given until 1868.
At that time every right guaranteed
to all other members was guaranteed
to these new members. How well
that contract has been kept may be
learned from the facts here enumer¬
ated from the extracts of the Consti¬
tution of this great Cosmopolitian So¬
ciety. So that others, than the mem¬
bers themselves, can answer the ques¬
tion whether they had treated their
brother right. But in order to consid¬
er the subject correctly it will be nec¬
essary to consider Society as a dis¬
tinct form of Government, It may
exist without a Government, because
Government is the agent and Society
is the principal and the first consider¬
ation which meets us in this, that Civ¬
il Society is a cosmopolitan institu¬
tion of men organized for their mutual
benefit. The poet can conceive of
no situation more aliiiciive LUau being
in a state of loneliness; and, wherever
possible, men have formed themselves
into a Society; in other words, it i*
the will of God that we should live in
a state of Society. Thus, the at¬
tachment between the sexes at once
forms a Society which is the parent
of all others. Of this union, the fun-
render of the happiness of each other
to the consequent attainment of an
increase return of happiness. Thus,
patriotism, which is another form of
love of Society, not only supposes a
man to surrender willingly something
personal for something general, but
also to derive happiness therefrom.
If the human race was scattered over
the globe without a Civil Society, it
would soon perish, because man ha^
neither the strength nor agility to
contend with the beasts or elements..
Without this Cosmopolitan Civil So¬
ciety there could be no such thing as
reciprocity. There would be no use
for division of labor nor warea.
Every one would do for himself at
the greatest possible disadvantage,
and individuals would become like
brutes. The difference between the
Cosmopolitian Civil Society and the
ordinary secret voluntary society if
this;, the voluntary society is dissolved
at the pleasure of the immediate mem¬
bers or the members forfeit their
rights when they violate its conven-
ant. But the Cosmopolitian Civil So¬
ciety imposes duty on both, which re¬
mains the same, though both parties
may violate their contract, because
they are under obligation to God to
protect each other. No man can
therefore be excluded from this Soci¬
ety justly, unless he has committed
gome overt act by which he forfits his
rights. The original rights must
be taken for granted; and any act,
whether by individual, mobs or legis¬
lation, which obliges men to leave
this Cosmopolitan Civil Society, is op¬
pressive and unjust. Hence, those in
authority should take all means nec¬
essary to prevent this great wrong to
it members. A misconception of the
true principles of the Society, possib¬
ly, has been the cause of many griev¬
ous violations of its rules. In former
years, perhaps, certain members
thought that they had a God-given
right to mistreat human beings. But
at last a revolt came from within the
Society itself and the Constitution
was changed, which promised all
members, regardless of former con¬
ditions, protection. And since that
time there has been ao reason what¬
ever for a revocation of that amend-

ment to tlie Constitution, because
those who were given certificate of
m-'iMber«hip in J«G8 had paid the
dearest price possible for man to pay.
That; is, they gave their life's blood;
and who can give more? The Cos¬
mopolitan civil Society is a mutual
compact entered into between individ¬
uals upon the same terms and for the
same purpose. And since the power
of a Society is derived from its mem¬
bers, the Society cannot be other than
what the members decree in their con¬
stitution. If A takes B's property
and B undertakes to redress his
wrongs, he would become ot once his
own legislator, judge aiid executor.
And instead of being the aggrieved
party, he would become the aggressor;
and this would lead to revenge on the
part of A, a revenge to be repeated by
the other party, which might mean
injury or destruction of one or both.
Now since A and B belong to the same
fraternity, they both have delegated
their rights to settle such matters in
the most equitable manner to Society;
because that is the objective purpose
of Society: to do for its members that
which they cannot do for themselves.
That is, redress wrongs by compelling
the offending member to do justly, or
else by inflicting such penalties as
may deter him and others. There is
no limitation of time or cost. The
Society guarantees protection to mem¬
bers from the most obscure to the
greatest. And in the smallest matter
to the most aggrivabed. The fre¬
quent occurrence of mobs for redress¬
ing supposed evils is the most decisive
indication of Society verging toward
dissolution. Loyal members of Soci¬
ety are powerless to redress theaj
wrongs because of their having gives
up their individual rights when be¬
coming members, but they receive In
return the Society guarantee of free¬
dom. But this guarantee of Society
is frequently overlooked by those who
have been intrusted as officers or
agents. But the members don't
always get justice, and there is no
safeguard against oppression and i»-
justice except that which exists in the
Constitution upon which Cosmopol¬
itan Civil Society is formed. And in
the feeling of moral obligations to
observe that compact inviolate, by a
strict adherence to this contract,
many wrongs are prevented, because
real safety and civil liberty rest not in
a particular form of Government, but
in the majority of the best people.
Because the Government is the agent
and the people the principal. And
' there can be no injustice of any mag¬
nitude without the acquisition of the
majority of the members. And il
they fail to do their part, there will be
tyranny, oppression, lawlessness, in¬
justice and utter disregard for human
rights under any form of Government.
And it is a small consequence from
which it comes, whether from an in¬
dividual or' many. In the original
and subsequent Constitutions of this
great Cosmopolitan Civil Society,
every member was promised that
their children should receive educa¬
tion intellectually and morally, that
they might be desirable members ©f
Society, as, without such training, So-
, ciety itself would not long exist, be¬
cause the cultivation of the moral na¬
ture of individuals is the one great
underlying foundation" of human hap¬
piness. This alone teaches individu¬
als to respect the rights of others, and
on pain of God's eternal displeasure
He commands us to love one another
as ourselves. Here He holds forth
the strongest inducements to obedi¬
ence, and here He prsents the strong¬
est motive for benevolence. This
brings us up to the duty of the mem¬
bers of Society as citizens. Citizen¬
ship consists of two kinds: first, as an
individual; second, as a member of
Society.
Every citizen, as an individual, is
bound to observe, in good faith, th«
contract which he has made with So¬
ciety. This obliges him to observe
the law of reciprocity in all his inter¬
course with others, which binds him
to avoid all destructive acts to the ex¬
istence of Society. If his house 1b

Should a course be selected by a prospective student that the Institution

number of applications to warrant its continuation, the party will be notified
either way. and if it is urgent tbtv will be recommended elsewhere. The
fact of the Institution being empowered to instruct in all the various

teach them nil. But with active co-operation it will be ere many months.
However, write and find out what it is prepared to instruct in now.

attacked though, he may repel the in¬
truder, but he is at no further liberty
to redress his wrongs other than to
protect himself from injury. For, if
he puts the intruder to death after
securing him, he is a murderer, be¬
cause, in becoming a citizen, he pro¬
mised to obey the law, and to do
otherwise would constitute every man
his own judge. But he considers not
his personal self, but the law as a
whole. Again, he who stands by
and sees a mob tear down a neighbor's
house without interfering, is a partak¬
er in the guilt; and if the citizens
knowingly neglect to protect its in-
idviduals in their rights, every mem¬
ber of Society is in equity bound in
his proportion to make good that loss.
A citizen is under moral obligation to
contribute his portion toward render¬
ing his fellow-citizens safer, wiser
and better. And for any such con¬
tribution he receives therefrom great¬
er benefit to person and estate. As
the city is responsible to its citizens,
it should choose such officers or agents
to discharge its duties. Bo that pre¬
judices, ostracism and personal feel¬
ing, would be impossible. For any
offiper or agent who does otherwise
damental principle is a limited sur-
misuse the people's power for their
own destruction by perpetrating the
most revolting injustice. Now, there
are three cour-es ct conduct for the
individual to pursue iL such case: pas¬
sive obedience, resisring or suffering
in the cause of right. Passive ob d-
ience in many cases would be wrong.
Wo have no right to obey an unjust
law. because yielding to injustice, sets
a precedent for wreag which may
make the most extreme mischief to
others. And resistance ta*"civil &u-
'hority by armed individuals would be
v-, "onar. For. at best it is uncertain,
because the oppressor is generally the
stronger. Besides, it .dissolves the
soeial tie and destroys what has taken
many jrears to accomplish. But it
should be remembered that no form of
wrong can continue indefinitely, be¬
cause the cause of all oppression is
the weakness of man. So the third
course is to suffer in the cause of
right. Here we act as we believe to
be right, in the defiance of oppression,
and bear patiently our wrongs. The
advantage of this course is, it presents
the best prospect of ultimate correct¬
ion of abuse by appealing to the
reason and conscience of the best ele¬
ment in Society. This assuredly is
a more fit tribunal in which to refer a
moral question than to physical force,
as it causes no more suffering than is
actually necessary to accomplish its
objects. For, whenever the oppres¬
sors are convinced of their wicked¬
ness, the injury generally ceases. As
suffering in the cause of right tends
to induce the oppressors to review
their conduct under the most favor¬
able circumstances and disarms pride,
it makes men better. Experience
shows that the cause of civil rights is
always gained more by martyrdom
than by war. Passive obedience may
arise or be tolerated by servile fear;
resistance from vainglory or ambition.
But suffering for the sake of right can
come only from a love of justice and
a hatred of oppression. The real
spirit of liberty can never exist in any
remarkable degree in any race where
it is not willing to suffer in the cause
of justice and liberty. Ever so little
of the spirit of martyrdom is always
a more favorable indication for civili¬
zation than ever so much of dexterity
or ever so much of turbulent protest¬
ation of immaculate potentions.

Origin of the Julian and
Gregorian Calendar
The Julian year consists of 3651-4
days and exceeded by 11 minutes 13.95
seconds the solar year of 365 days 5
hours 4S minutes 46 seconds. In conse¬
quence of this, the equinox in the course
of a few centuries fell back considerably.
In the time of Julius Caesar it corre¬
sponded to March 25, and by the six¬
teenth century it had retrograded to
March 11. It was at this time that a
physician of Verona, named Ghiraldi,
proposed a plan for amending the calen¬
dar. He died before he had opportunity
to carry it forward, but his brother pre¬
sented it to Pope Gregory XIII, who
assembled a number of learned men to
discuss it. It was passed upon favorably
and adopted, and thus was given to the
world what has since been known as the
Gregorian calendar.
The form consisted in dropping ten
days after October 4, 1582, so that the
15th was reckoned immediately after the
4th. Every one hundredth year, which
by the old style was a leap year, was to
be a common year.
This chronological chart was compiled,
arranged and copyrighted by Dr. E. P.
Read, Phila., Pa., and Lawnside, N. J.

A big Baptist minister in speaking
of Dr. E. P. Read has this to say:
Of those whom Providence has
qualified to make any additions to
human knowledge, the number is ex¬
tremely small, and what can be added
by each single mind, even of this su¬
perior class, is very little; the greatest
part of mankind must owe all their
knowledge, and all must owe far the
larger part of it, to the information of
others. To understand the works
of celebrated authors, to conprehend
their systems, and retain their rea¬
sonings, is a task more than equal to
common intellects; and he is by no
means to be accounted useless or idle
who has stored his mind with ac¬
quired knowledge, and details it occa¬
sionally to others who have less lei¬
sure or weaker abilities.
The Eureka Perpetual Calendar
arranged and compiled by Dr. Read
tells more of the kind of man he is
than any pen can write. May he
live long to reap the reward that is
justly due him for this great master¬
piece.

THE RIGHT IDEA OF HUMANITY.
There are principles which should
govern our country in which no one
will be distinguished or honored above
his fellows except for merit: where
no man will find his profit in an¬
other's loss, and we shall no longer be
masters and servants, but brothers,
free men, and friends: where there
will be no weary, broken men and
women passing their joyless lives in
toil and want, and no little children
crying because they are hungry.

The Athenians began the year in June,
rhe Macedonians iu September, the Ro¬
mans first in March and afterward in
Jaurary, the Persians on August 11, the
iiii'-icnt Mexicans on February 23, the
Mohammedans in July. The Chinese
year, which begins early in February, is
similar to the Mohammedan in having
12 months of 29 and 30 days alternately ;
Hit in every nineteen years there are
seven years whi'h have 13 months This
is not quite correct, and the Chinese
ha1 e therefore formed a °yr,le of HO
years, in which period 22 intercalary
months occv.r
Forty-fi-e years before the Christian
era Julius Caesar, who first reformed
the calendar, ordered that every year
whose date number is exactly divisible
by 4 contain '160 days, and all other
years 365 days. The intercalary day
was introduced by counting the sixth day
before the Kalends of March twice;
hence the name bissextile, from bis,
twice, and sex, six. He also changed the
beginning of the year from 1st of March
to the 1st of January and also changed
the name of the fifth month: (Quintiilis)
to July, after himself The average length
of the Julian year is therefore 365',4
days, which, however, is too long by 11
minutes and 14 seconds, and this would
accumulate in 400 years to about three
days The Julian calendar continued in
use until A. D 15^2. when the date of
the beginning of the seasons occurred 10
days later than in B. C. 45, when this
node of reckoning time was introduced.
The Gregorian Calendar was intro-
luced by Pope Gregory XIII with the
riew of keeping the Equinox to the same
<lay of the month. It consists of 365
days, but every year exactly divisible by
4 and the centurial years which are ex¬
actly divisible by 400 contain 366 days;
and if in addition to this arbitrary ar¬
rangement the centurial ypars exactly
divisble by 4000 contain 366 days, the
favor in the Gregorian system will
amount to only one day in about 20 cen¬
turies. If. however, 31 leap years were
intercalated in 128 years, instead of 32
as at present, the calendar would be
practically exact, and the error would
•> ni nn nt to more than a day in
100,000 years. The length of the mean
Gregorian year may therefore be set
down at 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes,
12 seconds. The Gregorian Calendar was
introduced in England and her colonies in
1752, at which time the Equinox had
retrograded 11 days since the Council of
Nice in A. D. 325, when the festival of
Easter was established and the Equinox
occurred on March 21; hence Septem¬
ber 3, 1752, was called September 14,
and at the same time the commencement
of the legal year was changed from
March 25 to January 1, so that the year
■1751 lost the months of January and
February and the first 24 days of March.
The difference between the Julian and
Gregorian Calendars is now 13 days.

Origin of First Almanac
PUBLISHED.
Almanacs were not allowed in the
hands of the common oeople of Rome
until about 300 B. C. Until that time
all knowledge of the calendar was en¬
tirely in the custody of the priests. Did
one wish to know the date of _ a feast
day, the hours of the sun's rising or
setting or when there would be a new
moon he must consult the priest, as
these occult laws were only to be re¬
vealed by him. But one day a presump¬
tuous layman named Flavius, secretary
of Appius Claudius, obtained the secret
either by stealthily obtaining access to
the documents or by repeatedly consult¬
ing the priests. He engraved his records
on white tablets and exhibited them
openly in the forum and so became the
publisher of the first almanac.
The above tells of the origin of the
first almanac, but there was another
almanac published in 1796 by a negro,
and was the most highly praised work
of that day. It was published by Ben¬
jamin Banneker, for the State of Penn¬
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Vir¬
ginia. He is also credited with being
the first person to make a complete
American clock, and stood in the front
rank as an astronomer of ability.
I hereby indorse the Eureka < Per¬
petual Calendar and Chart, and think it
should be in every household.

HARVARD PROFESSOR CLAIMS
COLORED PEOPLE WERE HERE
Before Christopher Columbus Was
Born
Boston, Mass.—Who discovered
America? Columbus in 1492.
That is old stuff and nonsense found¬
ed cn myth and imagination. So saya
Professor Leo Wiener, white, profes¬
sor cf Slavic Languages in Harvard
University, and he gives his proofs
in a new book "Africa and the Discov¬
ery of America."
According to Professor Wiener
black men from the Guinea and Con¬
go sailed across the Atlantic Ocean,
uided with the Indians, and some of
them came to America and settled
three hundred years before Christo¬
pher Columbus was born.
Here are some of the proofs pre¬
sented, which have set Boston and
Harvard University by the ears, the
more so because Professor Wiener is
an authority on the history of civili¬
zation, and has an international re¬
putation.
He points out that in Columbus' ac¬
counts of his voyage to America, Col¬
umbus said he had heard of Africans
reaching a continent in the west and
that he went first to Africa to verify
it before sailing. A good part of our
present opinions about Columbus the
discoverer, he adds are frauds and
"horrible lies."
Tobacco, Professor Wiener adds, as
well as sweet potatoes, yams, manioc,
and peanuts were brought here by
Africans.
It is a historical fact that in 1503
negroes in large numbers were liv¬
ing in America, and smoking and rais¬
ing tobacco. Even the wampum belt
always thought of Indian origin, I
have found was an African product
and the making of it was taught In¬
dians by the Africans.
Since THE ADVENT OF THE
NATIONAL PURE FOOD AND
DRUG LAW and the SEVERAL
SUPPLEMENTS of the VARIOUS
STATES il has become the practice
of many medicine manufacturers to
print their formulae, the most of
which generally contain Latin narrus
or if the quantities are in English
It is seldom they can be found, es¬
pecially in small lots, however good
'hey claim to be. To meet such con¬
ditions the EAST TNDTAN REM-

GOOD FRIDAY'S MANY NAMES.
Perhaps no Christian festival has so
many names as Good Friday. Anglo-
Saxon and Danish forefathers called it
"Long Friday," in allusion to the length
of the day's services and fasting; in
France it is "Holy FridavGei-many,
either "Stiller Freitag" (Quiet Friday)
or "Charfreitag," on allusion, perhaps,
, to the exhibition of the Crucifix for
adoration after being veiled all through
Lent.
In the Greek Church it has been
known at various times as "The Pascha
of the Cross," "The Preparation," "The
Redemption" and "The Day of the
Cross," and to these names the Latins
have added "The Day of the Lord's Pas¬
sion," "The Sixth Holy Day of the
Pascha," and many others. "Good Fri¬
day" seems to be peculiar to the Eng¬
lish language.
The business man says it's money; th«
philosopher says it's the stuff life is
made of; the Christian says it's eternity.
But, whatever it is, it's too slow for
those who wait; too swift for those who
lour; too long for those who grieve; toe
short for those who rejoice. But for
those who love, time is not, because tinifl
cannot be measured by length or space,
it is an immeasurable quantity, whatever
our relation or what we may tnink.
Origin of Standard Time
A standard of time was established in
1SS3, by which trains are run and local
time regulated. According to this system,
the United States, extending from 0.3 de¬
grees to 125 degrees west longitude, is
divided into four time sections, eacu of
1.3 degrees of longitude, exactly equiva¬
lent to one hour, commencing vit.i the
75th meridian. Tin; first (eastern I sec¬
tion includes all territory between the At¬
lantic Coast and an irregular line urawn
from Detroit to Charleston, S. C., the
latter being its most southern point. The
second (central) section includes all the
territory between the lust-nameu line and
an irregular line from Bismarck, i\\ D.,
to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The
third (mountain) section includes all ter¬
ritory between the last-named line and
nearly the western borders of Idaho,
Utah and Arizona. The fourth (Pacific)
section covers the rest of the country to
the Pacific Coast. Standard time is uni¬
form inside each of these sections, and
the time of each section differs from that
next to it by exactly one hour Thus,
at 12 noon in New York City (eastern
time), the time at Chicago ("cntral
time) is 11 o'clock A. M.; at Denver
(mountain time). 10 o'clock A. M. and
at San Francisco (Pacific time). 9
o'clock A. M. Standard time is 16 min¬
utes slower at Boston than true local
time. 4 minutes slower at New Y'ork, 8
minutes faster at Washington 19
minutes faster at Charleston, 28 minutes
slower at Detroit, 18 minutes faster nt
Kansas City, 10 minutes slower at Chi¬
cago, 1 minute faster at St. Louis. 28
minutes faster at Salt Lake City and 10
minutes faster at San Francisco.

EDUCATION is that branch of
knowledge which relates to the training
and guardianship of young persons from
infancy to mature age. We would la.v
great stress on its importance as relating
to the preparation of youth for subse¬
quent life and influencing the character
and prospects, not only of individuals, but
of nations, through ages yet to come.
The highest powers and noblest senti¬
ments of our nature might remain forever
dormant were they not developed by the
instruction of those who have themselves
received like instruction from their
predecessors. But we may use the term
education in a still wider and higher
sense. Hence, when an educator of the
first order speaks of a matter respecting
education it must have some merit. The
following testimonial speaks for itself.

THE COSMOPOLITAN INDUS¬
TRIAL EDUCATIONAL INSTI¬
TUTE AND EUREKA SANA^
TORIUM SANITATION AS-'
SOCIATION ■
Civilization demands relief for the
poor, sick ot distressed, and business
sense teaches that it is better to give
to sojpe central organization whose pur¬
pose is to do the good where it is most
needed, and while this good work has
been going on without State or outsid®
aid for years, this is the first time it
has come to sijrht that a large force of
colored people have actually incorporat¬
ed themselves into a body for suck,;
philanthropic purposes. t
It is conceded that the word charity
has been abused by those wild are not
sick nor poor. Charity is never a right,
although it is necessary sometimes to
restore the temporary disabled to a
self-supporting basis, but no one can
expect something for nothing, so giving
to charity must be considered as a loan
to the recipient to be returned in some
way. Real charity can be given only
to those who cannot make a return.
Some apparently violate this rule, but
when searched for carefully the motive
generally reveals itself. In manf ways
charity is an economy, because it most
always prevents a worse condition, be¬
sides the safer we make others, the
safer we are ourselves. Charity, then
is not a right, but is basically for the
purpose of retiexly benefitting the
efficient. So whatever good we do
others it in some way returns to us.
Bread cast on the water will be found
again if you search for it. Dispensing,
charity then is a cosmopolitan protec¬
tive measure for the general walfare of
humanity, and shonld be recognized as
such. An association, by the way,
which should have come into existence
long ago, but which is none the less
welcome, however late, the Cosmo-1
politan Industrial Educational Institute
promoting religious, technical and in¬
dustrial traiuinjr attiong themselves.
The large building, one square from
the P. and R. R. and Clementon trol-'
ley stations, on the White Horse pike,
is the place.

We have 20.000,UtlO feet of ground
In twenty different States for sale at
5c. per foot. Some of this ground is
in, cities, villages and townships, but
none of it is sold by what is knownas
the building lot forfeiture plan. The
idea is to let you make a selection of
the number of feet you want in any
city, village or township desired. Send
ns as much money by registered or
post office order as you choose, and
state how you intend to pay balance.
Will send plan showing number of feet
contracted for, with accurate descrip¬
tion, If you pay balance due on the
number of feet you contract for within
thirty days 15 per cent. off. If you
pay balance by instalments five days
before or on the date it is due you get
10 per cent, off, and if you are five
days behind 10 per cent penalty will
be added. Here is our great point of
difference: So long as you pay the in¬
terest and penalty, if you never paid
for the ground, we could not take it
from you by any law, make no differ¬
ence how much you owe. But if yon
buy on the old style building lot agree'
ment or instalment mortgage plan yon
lose whatever amount you may have
paid. But if you buy l'rom ns and stop
paying twelve months won't lose. Title
guaranteed. _ Money advanced for
sforos, buildings and other purposes. If
you want to buy, sell or exchange
shares of stock or interest in any col¬
ored enterprise, incorporated or not, o*
if you want to buy, sell or exchange
houses, lots or other property, incor¬
porate n Company, secure a Patent,
quickly like others, see or write us. A
business that isn't worth hardly any¬
thing may become a Flourishing Enter¬
prise in a short time. Thousands are
rich today who hadn't anything but a
small business to commence with. An
idea or simple invention has been the
means of great fortunes because they
were started right. HAVEN'T YOD
SOMETHING TO INCORPO¬
RATE. GET PATENTED, TRADB
MARKED OR Copyrighted? It is not
the person who works the hardest that
makes the most money; it is those who
make_ others work for them. Our plan
explains the Secret. A lawyer is not
needed. You can do it yourself. It is
not hard. With an Incorporated Com¬
pany you can avoid paying town or
city license. To do business vou can
pay _ your agents, salesmen < r other
creditors with Stock, thereby save the
money. You can borrow on your shares
and if you fail to pay you simply lose
the stock, which is not much loss, since
you have so much more; but had you
borrowed money on your note, house
or farm, you would have to pay it back
or lose your property. These are only
a few of the many advantages of in¬
corporating a company instead of doing
business single-handed, or as a Co¬
partnership. We'll buy, sell or ex¬
change all kinds of real or personal
property anywhere. Distance no bar
to us, as we have authority to act any¬
where. Address, The United BusineM

estate we own a complete manufacturing plant, capable of turning out, with only
three machines in operation, 3960 brushes a day, which retail at 10 cents each, mak¬
ing $46,800. We've not included the 47 others, nor the brooms. Judge for yourself
what can be done with all in full operation. So to get our goods before the public
and let our people know anij see what their race is capable of doing, we decided to
put a small quantity of stock on sale at $1 per share for a short time. Now is the
chance to buy, as we want to start branch factories and agencies to sell our stock.
It is necessary for us to produce as well as consume if we want to make our
mark. Since 95 per cent, of us have to use the things we make. We have our owa
wagons to bring our material and deliver orders. We advertise our goods by mak¬

Sunday, the name of the first day of
the week, is derived from the Saxon
"Sunan daeg," or day of the sun; in
the Roman calendar, "dies Solis." We
have no definite information as to when
the observance of the first day of the
week was substituted by the Christians
for that of the seventh day, the ancient
Jewish Sabbath. It undoubtedly arose
among the earliest practices of the
Christian Church, and was regarded as
the fittest day to be held as sacred, be:
cause, in the words of one of the
Fathers: "It is the first day in which
God changed darkness and matter, and
made the world; and on the same day,
also, Jesi'f- Christ, our Saviour, rose
from the dead."
Various additional reasons taken from
the Old Testament were advanced by
others of the early Fathers in support
of the observance of this day. The first
law, either ecclesiastical or civil, by
which the Sabbatical observance of
Sunday is known to have been ordained,
is an edict of Constantine, A. D. 821,
forbidding all work but necessary hus¬
bandry on the "venerable Sunday."
In the Tlieodosian Code it is enjoined
that "on tlie Sunday, rightfully desig¬
nated by our ancestors as the Lord's
Day all lawsuits and public business
shall cease." Since the ninth century,
Sunday has been a thoroughly estab¬
lished institution of the Christian
Church as a day of rest and religious
exercises, and one exempt from any oc¬
cupations of a purely secular character.
I hereby indorse the Eureka Perpetual
Calendar and Chart, and think it should
be in every household, society, club and
church.

DR. E. PARKER REED'S "BSD-
REKA PERPETUAL CALENDAB"
is a brilliant historical research, and the
long and ardent study of years, and re¬
flects great credit upon the author.
The learned physician is justly entitled
to the success that has crowned his
/every effort, and the purchaser wiH
have a most cherished keepsake and a
solace in many a lonely hour.—Philip J
Holers.
Ln wnside, New Jersey Dr. E. P. Read.
Dear Sir:—The Eureka Perpetual
Calendar is a valuable contribution to
the informational literature of the race;
it ia unique, interesting and instructive.
Respectfully yours.

Principal Lawnside Public School.

Origin of the Julian Calendar
\V niie this is not the Regular Calendar,
it gives an idea of what the finished prod¬
uct will look like. No doubt the critic
will find much to criticise and the ad¬
mirer many things to praise; we thank
them both, because our friends may not
be able to see our mistakes, kill (?) us
with praise and might cause us to stop
thinking that all is well. But our pes¬
simistic critics say, "No! Show me
that you have 'beat' the other fellow
first, and then maybe I'll let you by.
However, ere the Oomplete Calendar,
we shall do our best to improve this, so
that those who may have cause to use
this at any time, whether for business
or fun, we hope that the information
will prove correct. We do not claim,
however, that this sample sheet is cor¬
rect ; it's merely te show the Advertiser
and the Public a sketch. Nor do we claim
to have discovered something new (there
t* nothing new under the sun). For cen¬
turies perpetual calendars, or by what¬
ever name people called them, some plan
has always been in operation whereby
somebody could tell by some intricate
method what particular year, month,
week, day or date something occurred.
But even that information has been inac¬
cessible to the general public; hence, it
was hardly of any use. So, friend, while
we don't claim anything new (many oth¬
ers do, and you may, too), if you take
into consideration that the illiterate, an
well as the learned, can just as readily
tell the day, week, month of occurrence
or future dates, etc., by following the sim¬
ple direction about these Simplified Cal¬
endars with so much other valuable in¬
formation, especially since Churches, So-
oities. Clubs. Associations, Schools, Con¬
ventions and other Bodies, who wish to
be memorized to coming generations, are
using this Chronological Charf. E. P.

means the selection, combination and use

which is demonstrated by a large number

of satisfied patrons. In this Institution no single science of any particu¬
lar school has the preference, each patron gets the treatment best suited
to his or her condition. This kind of treatment is known as the Eclectic
Method, (but this Institution is not limited, it takes in all methods)
whatever may be your preference of treatment they have its Representative
and Specialist on their consulting staff. No other Inc. Institution has this
cosmopolitan character, beside having numerous other features, it has
Hospital and University privileges, which permits it to use any method,
also authority to give instruction and grant Diplomas in any art or science
taught. Soch axs aggregation of brah&s must be of greatest benefit

most obstinate complicated case ought to be reached under such extra
ordinary favorable circumstances. ® This being an Inter State Institution,
is not a single nor a group of buildings, but consists of several separate
buildings located in different places, each depart, managed by specialists.
• Those who do not wish to go to the Sanatorium can be treated

Origin of Time Reckoning
Chronology treats of the dates of events
and the modes of ascertaining them which
is known as time, and time is divided into
epochs and eras. An era is a point set
to reckon dates from The Greeks reck¬
oned time by periods of four years each,
commencing 776 years before the Chris¬
tian era. The Romans reckoned time 753
years before the Christian era, or 754
years B. C. The Mohammedans reck¬
oned time from 622 A. D., but use
the Lunayear of 354 days, making a dif¬
ference of 1 year in thirty-three of ours.
The Persians reckoned time A D. 632.
The Christian era was introduced A. D.
526 by a monk, and it is generally agreed
'"hat Christ was born four years before
the Christian era, or the year 4 B. C.
The Jews profess to reckon time from
the creation of the world, which they
date 3760 B. C. Usher dates the crea¬
tion 4004 B C , and the deluge at 234S
B. C. The Hindoos date the deluge at
;;i02 B. C. Muller dates the creation
5722 B. C. Hale dates the r-reati^n at
5411 B. C. and the deluge at 3155 B. C.
Some think the day of creation was so
many periods of the earth's progressive
changes before the creation of man.

A striking feature of the Associa¬
tion is that its general officers have a
profession or business of their own,
and do not have to depend upon the
Institution for support, are interested
In this Association that promises to fill
a unique place in the negro's history,
If its purposes are carried out. it will
stop a large proportion, at least, among
this people of pauperism. Still, how-
erer anxious these energetic officers
may be the work cannot be done effec¬
tively without help. It is well known
that parasitism is easily acquired, and
invariably destructive of efficiency of
both the giver and the recipient, bo the
Association proposes to act as a dis¬
penser of gifts of whatever nature
from those who wish to assist the un¬
fortunates who may become its wards
from time to time.
While they contemplate doing many
things which may help amelorate the
condition of their less fortunate kins¬
men they ask the scrutinizing investi¬
gation and inspection of their home, as
each contributor is considered an ad-
visary trustee of the institution and are
requested to give their name, address,
amount given, when, where and to
whom; accredited agents always have
cards with their own photo, name and
address on which they give to those
who contribute. This is to protect the
public from being imposed upon by
persons who might be taken for repre¬
sentatives of the Cosmopolitan Indus¬
trial Educational Institute and Eureka
Sanitorium Sanitation Association of
Lawnside, Magnolia or Snow Hill. Ac¬
cording to the charter, the task laid out
for this organization is stupenduous
and would appall a less determined peo¬
ple, but a talk with the management
reveals the fact that they have the
work well thought and planned out,
and are not afraid. The maternity or¬
phanage and dispensary is open, but
funds are needed to transfer, erect and
equip a brush and broom ^ factory to
Lawnside, where the children may
learn to equip themselves for work.

phia, one of the "leading men of our race." Ue
Is a great thinker, planner and all-aroiud busi¬
ness man, something that can be said of but
few of our men, although they have had the
same opportunity to du just what this man
has done; who, If he hi ^ accomplished anything
at all, has no one to thank but himself, having
been left in this world to fight life's battle!
alone, not being blessed with that most valued
of all prizes, the counsel, care and protection
Of his parents, his father having been one of
those valiant soldiers who helped this country
save the Union and left his life on the battle
field.
Also, having the misfortune to lose his niothef
It quite an early age, and he being the youngest
#f seven children, he did not stop to ascertain
What his older brothers and sisters, relatives,
>r anybody else was going to do to help him,
iut started to battle with the stern realities
this world himself, and as to his succeeding,
It can be better judged when we tcjl you that,
ilthough he is not yet 38. he has the credit of
Saving more than $3000 for each year that be
kas been in this world, a feat that but few
jaen have accomplished, and he 1s the first and
»nly colored man that we know of to manufac-
>jre and sell a preparation to the druggists of
fhls country. We name a few of the wholesale
druggists whom lie sold personally large ordera
Of his goods: Smith. Kline, French & Co., Val¬
entine H. Smith & Co., C. H. Buttjrwortli <.a>.,
Miller Drug Co.. Aschenback & Miller, of Phil¬
adelphia, J. Bailey & Soil. R. J. Banks & Co.,
P. S. Thomas & Son, Baltimore; Owens & Minor
Drug Co.. Pocell, Ladd & Co., Richmond, Va.;
W. E. Armstrong Co., C. L. Wright & Co.,
Petersburg, Va. We know of a great many
tnore. but only mention these. John Mitchell, of
the Richmond Planet, told Dr. Read that he had
done more to show the white man what a no-
gro could do than all the speeches hp had eve*
heard. I>i addition to being a Physician, this
(great man of the race Is a full-fledged Occullst
and Optician, he having graduated from the
Philadelphia Optical College with the highest
honors that can be conferred by any similar col¬
lege in the United States, that of Doctor of
Refraction, and he Is to-day the only repre¬
sentative that 7 ".,000,000 of black people hare
In this well-known profession. He is also
a member of the Druid's Medical Society of
America, one of the highest societies of medical
men in the country, and is the only member of
his race to occupy a position in this vast body of
medical genius. His business ability and fore-
night are unquestioned. The rapid strides of
progress made by him in tie many business
operations which he has undertaken has made
his name known and respected in all i arts o>f
the country. He is unquestionably a shrewd
Slanner and a tireless worker ami before hlg
oundless energy, difficulties which would appall
and discourage a man of less nerve, fade away
and leave success to crown his efforts.
Among the many progressive enterprises which
he has been Instrumental in starting is the As¬
surance and Redemption Association of Peters¬
burg. Va.. for buying lapsed Insurance policies;
the Consolidated Beneficial Society of Baltimore,
Jfd.; the House Renters' Protective Association,
the Advocate Printing and Publishing Com¬
pany, of Philadelphia; the National Co-Oper*.
"ive Industrial Protection and Investment As-
cclation. Read & Christian Manufacturing Com¬
pany The East Indian Remedy Company, manu¬
facturers of hair preparations and agents' sup¬
plies: also publishers of two books, viz.: "Co¬
operation, or Buy and Borrow of Ourselves;"
Geographical Distribution of Animals and tl»
Kaco of Men.'
In appearance this gentleman has a marked
Riaracter for energy and determination. We
tiould consider him positive, thorough-going and
Jmphatic in everything that pertains to busiiiut*
transactions—a man that is prompt and up to
the mark, believing in doing business on business
yinclples, and applying rules, where rules a»e
h order, according to their practical meaning.
fa has a reservoir of vitality, so that his brain
* thoroughly vitalized, and he has no occasion
Jb weaken or break in carrying out his purposes.
JHe can stand up firmly against strains and oppo-
lition that would annihilate an ordinary man.
An interesting view of the doctor comes to us
Jrom a correspondent who writes from a person1
tl observation as follows:
It may lie Interesting to our readers to knot*
that Dr. B. Parker Read, ■ - ™ ull." " •-~t,
has beep appointed superintendent ot mail at
the Post Office, and is the only one of our
race to be so honored. We say honored because
although it Is a $2500 a y<ar position, it was
not asked for nor in any way solicited by Dr.
Read, and as he is not a politician, we are
at u loss to account for him being so success¬
ful in getting such a position where millions of
dollars worth of mail passes under his direct
supervision and control daily, unless it is hi|
personal popularity and iinancial standing. We
extend congratulations to the National Co-Op¬
erative Industrial & Investment Asssci.itijn,
one of the greatest institutions for the better¬
ment of the condition of the unfortunate brother
In black that we know of, in having such a
progressive and influential man as Dr. E. Parker
Read, as its president. For surely a man that
the Government Imposes confidence enough In
to allow him to handle such a vast amount of
Important mail, ought to and can be trusted
with all the money that the National Co-Oper-
atlve Industrial and Investment Association, and
a great many other organizations combined will
have to handle. As was said before, this po¬
sition sought the man. and not the man the
position. In entering the Government service It
In no wise interferes with the numerous duties
this great man of the race has, since he is al¬
lowed to deputize others' to do the work. Ana
as to how well he has exercised that power
may be judged when it Is known that of the
ten meft employed by him two are white and
eight colored, and we say without hesitancy,
that if Dr. Read had not appointed the men
of color thoy would not to-day be filling places
that ' always heretofore were filled by white
men. A few more men of color like this and
we'll have no race problem. Come, society, and
race leaders, bestir yourselves.—Phila. Tribune.
.Tune 9. 11)00.
By his ready, timely and able articles in some
of the great papers of the day the Dootor has
shown himself to be as ready and able with his
pen as with his tongue.
The lines of his head are of the round rathel
than of the square, and It Is the round lines that
make the ready man.
We must not, however, be misled by the mere
roundness of outline, but must notice from
whence the roundness proceeds; whether It is
from the massive lines at the base, which rise
as the bastion of a fortress, or whether merely
from the lack of strength in the central lines
of the work. The head may be round and yet be
wanting in all that would gi^e power to the
subject. The human brain is made up of two
great parts, the so-called "purely intellectual,"
and the "animal." The "purely intellectual" is
of little value unless there is some "animal"
to drive it. It is like the fire-engine without
sufficient boiler power; the boiler power Is all-
Important. These well balanced round lines are
what makes Dr. Read the ready and able man
'Sat he Is. He is a kr.'ght with a keen Damas¬
cus t)lade, ready to meet his opponents on all
occasions, whether it be In the uproar of the
contending faction, or in the quiet of the study.
The word character well defines the man. He Is
the embodiment of sterling character; character
that has stood many a trying ordeal, and has
never been found wanting in those elements
which mark the typical man of our day.
Dr. Read has had an active life in public
affairs altJ-wt from the time he commenced the
practice of medicine In 1885,
i>r. Uead we believe to r>e an honest man; and
surely no more modest man ever held an exalted
position before the people. His opponents, of
course, endeavor to break the Influence of his
work by representing him to be a typical fraud;
but when the contest Is ended, and the people
have settled down into the calm of quiet ways,
even his present opponents will admit his ster¬
ling qualities and that it requires no mear
ability to wield the sceptor of power In the
toying eireumr ances of his great work.
By the term lignity We would not mislead the
Btader. What Jne man understands by this term
may not be the ideal of another. While Dr
Kead is a most dignified man he Is not In this
respect after the old school, which is ratherof
respect after the old school, which is rather of
looking man, entirely devoid of those schoolkoy
airs which young and verdant people are apt to
think the embodiment of greatness. His bearing
Is more like that of a practical business nan
who is equal to all emergencies, and rises as
tM occasion demands.

THE PROBABLE ORIGIN
AND PROPER MEANING
OF THE WORD YEAR
It is surmised ,that the period of a
moon cycle, was called a year. Thus
Adam's 930 years of life, calculating
a year at 29 ^ days, the period of a
lunation, works out to 75% years,
and Methuselah's 969 reputed years
are whittled down to 78%. After
the month year there came a five-
month year, the limit of five being
derived from the fingers on one hand,
it being remembered that primitive
people always used the fingers for
counting purposes.
Then came the twelve-month year.
Excuse for this rearrangement is
found in the Psalmist limit of life of
three score and ten years, and it is
maintained that between the times of
Noah and David no such extraordin¬
ary change could have taken place
as to reduce the life of man by eleven-
twelfths. On the five-month year
basis. Abraham's 175 years work
out 72 and Isaac's 180 at 74. Per¬
haps, too, there intervened a six-
month year, discovered by Jacob
while watching Laban's flocks.
Thus Jacob's 147 years work out at
about 73. The twelve-month year
began with the Egyptians, who saw
that a complete period was made up
of the two "years," in one of which
the days were longer than the nights,
and in the other the nights longer
than the days.
The Christian and Jewish years,
concludes the Jewish World. Will
not forever be separated, "for," it said
"In due course Rosh Hashona will fall
at Christman time and then catch up
however, this will not happen for 30,
000 years, so don't worry.
February 2, 1915.

My dear Dr. Read: The Eureka
Perpetual Calendar, thought out and
published by you, shows tedious and
long years of study, and it proves
your great intelligence and original¬
ity. It is a ready reference for the
man who knows and a prefect guide
for the one who does not know.

Among those 'whose genius has
contributed to give a prominent
standing in the scientific world, and-
who stand in the limelight at the
head of his class is Dr. E. P. Read, of
the Research Publishing Co., of Phila.
Pa., who has recently placed on the
market one of the most complete cal¬
endars it has ever been the pleasure^
of the writer to examine. The calen¬
dar is complete in every detail and
should find a hearty welcome in the
home of every Negro in the race. I
cheerfully take pleasure in giving/it
my unqualified support.
T. D. ATKINS,
Pastor Mt. Carmel Baptist Church,
Fifty-eighth and Race Sts., City.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 8, 1915;
I have looked over and carefully
read the Eureka Perpetual Calendar,
as gotten up and copyrighted by Dr.
E. P. Read. I have no hesitation in
declaring that it is in its line the mpst
unique thing that I have ever seen,
and I doubt whether there is any¬
thing in the calendar line ever issued
that I have not seen.
The Eureka Perpetual Calendar is
at once curious educational and inter¬
esting. It is enlightening on the
question of time, the origin of days,
months, and years, enabling anyone
to readily know the day of the week,
date of the month of any happening
in the past, and the day and date of
Easter occurring from 1752 to the far
distant future of 2002. Since when
Benjamin Banneker, a negro, com¬
piled the first almanac I do not believe
anything in this line has been done so
remarkable as the Eureka Perpetual
Calendar by Dr. E. P. Read. It is
a wonderful work of labor and a dis¬
tinct contribution to modern advance¬
ment.

Dr. Read is the ready man with an excellent
•Otfit; and not only ready, but able to cope
With the best men of the day.
H© la thoroughly acquainted with the details
•f his work, including all its branches. This,
It must be understood, like other branches of
human knowledge, has advanced with the prog
Ml of timft.
In all Christendom, but more partic¬
ularly in the Catholic church, Easter is
observed as marking the resurrection
of Christ. It is peculiarly appropriate.
Coming in the early spring of the
year, when all the myriad life of the
world is springing with renewed vigor
and coinciding with the pagan celeb¬
ration in honor of the spring goddess,
what more beautiful than that the
resurrection of Christ should be thus
marked?
Moreover, there is an approximation
of the time of the resurrection. The
exaet dates of the crucifixion and
resurrection never have been un-
etfrthed, but research has shown that
06rist arose upon the Sunday follow¬
ing the first full moon after the vernal
equinox. Therefore, the setting of the
flay, regardless of date, and therefore
tfee reason why Easter falls on dif¬
ferent dates and even in different
months.
Easter cannot come earlier then
March 22 nor later than April 25. It
will fall on the later date only once
in this century, in 1943. It has fallen
in March twenty-five times during the
last 112 years and will occur in that
month twenty times more this century,
bat generally it falls in April.
Easter is a movable feast, fixed by
ecclesiastical authority for the first
8unday after the first full moon after
March 21, the vernal equinox. The full
moon considered in this computation
by the ecclesiastics is not the moon of
the calendar nor the mean moon of the
astronomer, but an imaginary moon,
following the real moon by three days.
This imaginary moon was instituted
as a means of reckoning early in the
Christian era, in order to provide
against the great Christian festival
falling on the same day as the Jewish
Passover, which comes on the four¬
teenth day of the Paschal moon or
calendar moon
That the precaution was not well-
founded is shown from the fact that
Easter and the Passover have fallen on
the same day several times. This cc-
cured April 12, 1805, 1825 and 1903;
will occur again on April 1, 1923, and
April 17, 1927.
Although one of the greatest of re¬
ligious feast days, Easter takes its
name from a pagan gtddess, Ostara,
or Eostre. She was the saxon goddess
of spring and her festival was a kind
cf propitiation in hope of good harvest
during the summer to come. It was
intimately associated with the festival
of Ceres, god of the harvest, for whom
a celebration corresponding to Thanks¬
giving was held in the fall.
Date of Easter
(The date for the celebration of
Easter was originally regulated and
in imitation of the early usage has
always continued to be regulatd by the
calendar of Judea, in which the months
were conterminous with the revolu¬
tions of the moon. According to the
plan in relation to the calendar Easter
was arranged to fall on the Sunday
following the fourteenth day of the
moon, which occurs on or after the
21st of March. The 21st of March is
about the date of the beginning of
spring. According to a rule also adop¬
ted if the full moon falls on a Sunday,
Easter is the following Sunday.)
The origin of the Easter egg seems
to be a good deel of a puzzle. Archeolo-
gists have traced it back to ancient
Egypt, where the egg was regarded as
an emblem of creation. The Hebrews
adopted it to symbolize the idea of their
emergence from bondage, and the
Christians later on took it up as an
emblem of resurrection. The egg ap¬
pears to have been regarded anciently
also as emblematic of the world, which,
according to very old tradition,, was
hatched out or created at Eastertide.
The druids used it in their ceremonies,
and the Persians of old gave eggs to
each other at the feast of the vernal
equinox in honor of the springtime re¬
newal of all things. All these notions
run together—the egg standing for the
beginning of all things, for the origin
of life and reproduction. It repre¬
sents fecundity and abundance, and
when one friend presents an egg to an¬
other it is supposed to contain and car¬
ry with it all blessings.
Easter is the festival of springtime
rejuvenescence. It goes far back into
pagan mythology and has merely been
adopted by the moderns in a fresh
guise. The ancient Roman year began
at Easter, and gifts were then exchang¬
ed to celebrate the season of promise
and fair commencment. Indeed, even
in those days, long before the birth of
Christ, the Romans gave each other
No. 25, Leap Year, Friday

ETHIOPIA (the cush of the Bible),
the name given to the countries south
of Egypt and Libya, on the upper
Nile. The name Ethiopian was orig¬
inally given to all the nations inhab¬
iting the southern part of the globe,
or rather, to all people of a dark
brown or black color. The word is
supposed to come from two Greek
words, meaning "sunburned." The
part of Ethiopia, of which we have
the most ancient knowledge, is the
kingdon of Mercean Island, formed by
two rivers tributary to the Nile.
Its capital was Napata. The island
was T*ry fertile, with an abundance
of animals and metals. It was also
the site of an oracle, Jupiter Ammon.
This made it a great place of resort
and a trading place for India. Arabia,
Egypt, Libya and Carthage, so that
it grew rapidly and became, about
1000 B. C., one of the most powerful
kingdoms of the ancient world. It
threw off the yoke of Egypt about
760, and in turn ruled Egypt for sixty
years. At one time 240,000 Egyp¬
tians settled in Meroe, and being Ar¬
tisans and traders, added to its pros¬
perity. The Ethiopians sent to Dar¬
ius, every third year, four pints of
gold dust, 200 bags of ebony and
twenty tusk of ivory. Agustus con¬
quered Meroe, and we find Queen
Candace, of Ethiopia, mentioned
among his vessels. The remains of
the ancient civilation of Ethiopia are
the ruins of large buildings, covered
with sculptures representing battles
and religious ceremonies, rows of bro
ken sphinxes, temples hewn in the
rocks, and several pyramids, whicfc
are higher in their proportion than
those of Egypt. The names of many
Kings and Queens have been found
among them Meneliheh, said to be the
son of Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba. This brief sketch is given
that the reader may have a more defi¬
nite idea of our Race.
WHAT WE SPEND ANNUALLY.
Would Put Race on independent
Business Basis.
The Negroes in America spend
about $600,000,000 a year for food.
This estimate makes due allowance
for those who are employed as do¬
mestic servants and get a portion of
their food without actual cost.
In the first place, food prodtactoi
offer the retailer an average profit of
25 per cent., and 25 per cent .of
$600,000,000 is $150,000,000.
Suppose we go further with our
figures and distribute this $150,000-
000 among, say, 40,000 retail estab¬
lishments. Wie will find that wb
can pay each proprietor $1250 pet
year, give him a bookkeeper at $500
per year, a clerk at $20 per month, a
delivery boy at $10 per month, and
still have a balance of $50,000,000,
and employment for 150,000 people.
These 40,000 retailers must spend
$450,000,000 a year for goods, and
these goods come from wholesalers,
'^ommissi^n merchants and manufac¬
turers. Granting 10 per cent, profit
to the jroducers and middlemen, we
have the sum of $4,500,000 each year
which could be distributed among fif¬
ty factories, 200 wholesale and com¬
mission merchants, each earning an
average yearly profit in excess of $20,
000, giving employment to about 50,
000 more people. Thus, if the Ne¬
gro feed himself we 'would have 40,
000 business enterprises, would cii>
culate among thie race $154,500,00®
each year in wages and provide em¬
ployment for 200,000 colored people.
GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VOID.
Amendments to Restrict Colored
Vote in Oklahoma and Maryland
Are Declared Invalid.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision, holding that it was a viola¬
tion of the fifteenth amendment to
select an arbitrary date, such aa
1866, in fixing the qualification of
voters. The decision is believed to
reach the "Grandfather Clause" leg¬
islation in many States.
The court held that Oklahoma had
not meant to provide a literary test
for its voters, if the restriction as to
those qualified to vote in 1866 wu
eggs, and they held games at which
eggs were bestowed as prizes.
An ancient traditinon of the Finns
refers the origin of the Easter egg to
a mystic bird, which laid an -egg in the
lap of the Creation goddess. She hatch¬
ed it in her bosom, but let it fall into
the water, when it broke, the lower
part of the shell becoming the earth,
the upper part the sky, the liquid white
portion the sun, the yolk the moon and
the fragments of broken shell the stars
in the heavens.
Three centuries ago in Europe Pasch
eggs, as they were called, were given
at the churches to the priests on East¬
er Sunday, when, after being sprin¬
kled with holy water, they were bless¬
ed.
The connection of the hare with
Easter is so obscure that nobody has
made it out satisfactorily.
The figure of the rabbit, or hare, as
a feature of the Eastern celebration
comes from pagan antiquity, for this
animal was sacred to the Goddess Eost-
re. As Christianity succeeded paganism
In celebration of the day, however,
the rabbit lost its sancity.

Civilization demands relief for the
poor, »ick or distressed, and business
sense teaches that it is belter to give
to some central organization whose pur¬
pose is to do tlie good where it is most
needed, and while this good work has
been going on without State or outside
aid for years, this is the first time it
has come to sight that a large force of
colored people have actually incorporat¬
ed themselves into a body for such
philanthropic purposes.
It is conceded that the word charity
has been abused by those who are not
sick nor poor. Charity is never a right,
although it is necessary sometimes to
restore the temporary disabled to a
self-supporting basis, but no one can
expect something for nothing^so giving
to charity must be considered as a loan
to the recipient to be returned in some
way. Real charity can be given only
to those who cannot make a return.
Some apparently violate this rule, but
when searched for carefully the motive
generally reveals itself. In many ways
churity is an economy, because it most
always prevents a worse condition, be¬
sides the safer we make others, the
safer we are ourselves. Charity, then
Is not a right, but is basically for the
purpose of reflexly benefitting the
efficient. So whatever good we do
others it in some way returns to us.
Bread cast on the water will be found
again if you search for it Dispensing
charity then is a cosmopolitan protec¬
tive measure for the general walfare of
humanity, and should be recognized as
Rinli. An association, by the way,
which should have come into existence
iug of our work.

illegal, and hence struck down that
testimony, although holding that,
standing alone, such a test was con¬
stitutional.
For yoars the "grandfather"
clause ha<? boon inserted in Consti¬
tution?; of Southern States. The
most popular form has been to ex¬
empt from educaional and property
tests for voting those who could vote
in 1866. 1867 or 18G8, thus leaving
the tests to apply to those who did
not vole1 at those dates.
The Oklahoma amendment pro¬
vides "that no person shall be regis¬
tered as an elector or bp allowed to
vote in any election unless he,can

Constitution of the 8tit no per¬
son who before January 1, 1866, was
entitled to vote shall bfe /lkiieel the
right to register and vote because of
his inability to read and write."
In Maryland the clause was in¬
serted in laws governing elections in
various cities. In 1908. it was in¬
serted in the law governing munici¬
pal elections in Annapolis. It au¬
thorized the registration as voters of
all taxpayers of the city assessed for
at least $500; all duly naturalized
citizens twenty-one years old. and
"all citizens, who, prior to January
1. 1868, were entitled to vote in
Maryland or any other Stages at a
State election, and the lawful male
descendants of any persons, who,
prior to January 1, 1868, were en¬
titled to vote iii n;>'

United States at a state election."
WOMA.V vs. MAN
Since Women Suffrage has come
let us aualize what woman has done
and see how she compares v. i.u man.
It was Eve who ate the apple, but
Noah who made the ark; it was
Rachel who robbed her father but it
was Joseph with Pharaoh who or¬
ganized the first trust to control the
food supply and who ran the first
corner in grain: it was Pharoah's
daughter who rescued Moses, but it
was Moses and Aaron who organized
the first strike and w^kout. It was
David who, with his followers, slew
200 Philistines, but it wa§ OSIichal
who let him down from the Window;
it was Saul who made Israel a king¬
dom, but it was the witch of Endor
who, to help Saul, called Samuel
back from the dead: it was Solomon
who built the temple by collecting
cunning artificers, by taking counsel
of those who knew more than him¬
self, but it was ,, Bethsheba, his
mother, who made him king.
Woman creates, men rarely create
—-they must work developing what
is, and big work they must do thru
organization ; but organization, how¬
ever ihuch its heads may have been
selected and collected by intuition
cannot take the place of intuitions.
Woman brings a baby into the
world, but men organize a million
grown babies into an army; a woman
feeds her infant from her own
breast, but men organize a com¬
missariat department that encircles
the world; woman teaches each sep¬
arate human being to rise from all
fours and walk; but man speaks
the word and a million men
tramp in time and measure; woman
chews hides and greases them and
smokes them into the softest leather,
out of "wiji(^h she cuts and sews
moccasins, b%£ men take the hides
■ of fiveC>ntiu%ts and cut them into
a million pairs of shoes ;woman spins
If her single thread and weaves it into
cloth, men run their miles of fabrics;
.woman made wickiups and tepees,
reed and felt huts, but men build
hundred-story skyscrapers, housing
20.000 people; woman croons her
luiaby to her restless baby, but men
organize grand opera, develop the
phonograph; woman whispers to her
lover at the t ryst, but men by speech
to multitudes secure presidential
nominations and pile up for the pres¬
idency a million votes more than the
triumphantly elected; men connect
their offices with all the other busi¬
ness offices in the country and shout
their affairs across the continent,

At first glance, the above may seem vague or meaningless, but there are
three great features portrayed, viz: However big. money may be and how¬
ever big labor may be, they both need the cooperative assistance of intelli¬
gence. The, same as a, three legged stool needs to stand up. As Money, in¬
telligence and labor make a strong unit, whoever employes the three as
their motto must succeed; whoever does not, must fail.
THE SOCIAL SERY1CE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMIC UNIT
Organized to unite the labor, intelligence and money of individuals,
societies and corporations of colored people. It is non-sectarian, non-par¬
tisan and it is not radical. The unification of effort, the utilization of waste
and economical saving bring the fullest enjoyment of life, liberty and hap¬
piness. These are the specific aims of this corporation. Without some such
plan of action, the Negro race cannot succeed. A blind man alone up a dark
alley in a strange town on a dark night, is in good shape compared with the
person who buys all of the necessities of life at retail and who is not working
according to the plans of cooperation. The blind man will either call for help
or feel his way out. Those of us without cooperative plans have only one
place to go "broke." The man-with a good cooperative plan can control his
own future, because he knows where he is going and is apt to get there.

Stock with limited voting power and dividends, is a good Investment for a
few people; but stock with unlimited voting power and profit sharing, is the
BEST INVESTMENT for all the people—it being the most modern idea of
accumulating wealth. By this method, all the investors share in the profits.
A company with $500,000 in real and personal property, millions in Franchises
and Perpetual Charters ought to make good investment for thoughtful people.

dreadful complaints which, most every woman is an unfortunate SUFFERER
peculiar to their sex. Give MOTHER SHIELD'S REMEDIES a fair trial, and
if they fail money will be refunded. The various complaints for which the
compound is good are numerous, so use it for any female ailment. Made
in liquid and tablet form. Internal, external and local use.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Of tb 1 estimated two billion colored people of the world about twelve
millions Lii^wn as Negroes live in ti e Lnited States, to tell where they may
be found and what they are doing is o.ui< purpose.
It is not our intention to put 1he whole in one volume; it is intended ere
this important work is completed to publish several volumes; that, is one
for each S+ .to; but the work will be on the order of an encyclopedia and it will
take the wt ole number to complete the one National Directory. But until this
present volume shall have grown so large, it will contain the work fromk all
parts of tin country. Each State and City will have its own heading. With
this work in the library or on the desk people will not have to think what the
negro is doing. They will know all about the progressive and leading negro
because i1 J:-\hes no backward person to invest (possibly) their life-time
savings in some kind of business not knowing that they will even get the
principal Inek. Our race needs encouragement, you should net only buy your¬
self, but send everybody you can to do the same, they are sometimes a penny
higher than the other fellow, but they'll not always be so if you do your duty.
All mt:nrr , nd races are known by and through the achievements of their
professional and business representatives and the negro should show his hand
in the most business-like manner.

"Moreover thou shalt provide out of
all the people able men such as fear
• God, mon of truth, hating unjust
gain; and placo such over them to he
rulers of thousands, rulers of hun¬
dreds, rulers of fifties, and ruler* of
tens; and let them judge the people
at all seasons: and it shall be that
every great matter they shall bring
unto thee, but every small matter
they shall judge themselves."
1 "And I charge you judges at that
time, saying, hear the causes, between
your brethren, and judge righteously
between every man and his brother,
and the stranger that is with him."
: "You shall not respect persons in
judgment, but ye shall hear the small
as well as the great, you shall not be
afraid of the face of man."
\
"And thou shall take no gifts: for
the gift blindeth the wise, and per-
verteth the words of the righteous."
Having been asked to contribute
something commemorative of the Ne¬
groes' freedom, the author deems it
proper that something should be said
different from that which is generally
expected. Therefore, we take the
liberty to class the whole of the Unl-
Statcs and its dependencies as one
great society or family, and shall
treat the subject under three distinct
heads, namely Intellectuality, Society
and Tatriotism. Hence we shall
take education as part one. Educa-
cation is that branch of knowledge
which relates to the training and
guardianship of young persons from
infancy to mature age. Th-1 acqu'si-
tion of knowledge promotes lrippiness
by increasing the sphere of usefulness.
The time is passed, when more
general knowledge and higher studies
are superfluous 1o all except profes¬
sional men and women. I[ is admit-
tel by the best judges that a more
liberal educational may be alike bme-
ficinl to the mechanic, the farmer, (he
merchant or the domestic. And the
great objret of teachers should be to
imparl1- instruction upon these sub¬
jects of study that clear up difficulties
seemingly insurmountable.
Tart two deals with social duties.
These are duties we owe our fellow-
men in the relation of society or as
members of the great human family.
These duties may be classed cither as
active or passive. That is, we are
to avoid doing harm and to strive to
do good to our fellowmen with a view
to promote our mutual happiness.
Among the active or positive social
duties are those of friendship, benev¬
olence, and patriotism. While the
passive or negative may be all com¬
prehended under the single head of
JUSTICE, as regards the persons,
property, reputation, peace, virtue
and liberty of our fellowmen. Part
three deals with patriotism, which
comprehends the duties we owe our
country. Among these are obedi
encs to the laws and constituted au¬
thority so long as they accord with
JUSTICE. E. PARKER READ,
