A Valuable Almanac.

From the earliest days. man in all
lands, has been interested In the
weather, and has made records OF times
and seasons. The ancient civilizations
-Assyrian, Chaldean, Egyptian-all
had their chronology and their alman-
acs. A daily paper gives us these facts
about existing ones:
> The most valuable almanac ever
made is that now in the British Mut
scum, which Is priceless. 1t Is believ-
ed to be at least three thousand years
old. The days are written in red ink
on papyrus, In columns, and under each
is a figure, followed by three charac-
ters signifying the probable state OF
the weather for that day. The most
elaborate almanac in the world Is that
issued by the Chinese government In
twelve thick volumes which gives full
information as to lucky times and
places for performing the acts Of eV'
ery-day life, which is considered an
essential Of SUCCESS by every good Chi
naman.
The most curious calendar at present
in use Is that of the natives Of Central
America, where the months are only
twenty days long. and are named af-
ter animals. Among most modern Eu-
ropean ones the "Almanach de Gotha"
has been longest in continuous circu-
lation-upward Of one hundred and
thirty-d years.

Mcors Hope t. Return,

Visitors to Tangier and other settle
ments Of Morocco notice the keys that
are carefully kept in safety In the
houses OF some of the families Of an
cient descent. These keys belong to
the houses In Spain once occupied by
the Moors before their expulsion from
their homes many centuries ago. The
spaniards occupy these old houses, but
the descendants of the Moorish owners
still guard the keys, In the hope that
the day will come when they can return
to Grenada and once more resume con-
troll Of tho property from which they
were driven by Spanish arms. Tangier

THE CoLORED AMERICAN.

We were very mu:h surprised to see
the last issue of The Colored Anne ricap,
a secular newspaper published at the
National Capital. 1t contained an ex-
cellent write up Of Jackson, Tenn; it's
colored business men; its various en-
terprises; Its public schools, and Lane
College. 1t contained brief biographies
and cuts Of Revs. 1. 81. Anderson and
q. 81. Phillips; also write up of Prof.
G. A. Leftwioh, D, D. 1t was also a
surprise to us because we knew roth
ing Of these things until we saw the
paper. It was all worked up while we
were visiting the fall conferences. The
American certainly stole a march upon
as this time. But we are not surprised
as Elder Cooper knows how to WORK
surprises. We congratulate this paper
upon Its great business tact and enter.
