OF GREAT VALUE.
THE RAMON'S BROWNIE CALENDAR II
VERY COMPLETE,


Ramon's Brownie calendar, publish
ed by the Brown Manufacturing Co.,
Greeneville, TENN, in four colors, is
as complete and useful as anything of
the kind ever issued. 1t is especially
valuable on account of its weather
forecasts, which are based entirely up
on scientific calculations that can be
relied upon. The numerous calendars
issued that attract attention for their
beauty alone are not to be compared
with the Ramon Brownie calendar, for
it's value cannot be over-estilnated.
You can tell at a glance the rising and
setting of the sun, the days. length,
the phases of the moon, the moons
constella tion, national holidays, church
days, timely medical advise, weather
forecasts for the different states.

truly be said to belong to Washington.
These works have illumined almost every

The munifcent gift Of Mr.. Carnegie for

fresh in the memory of every one. The di-

suit of which cannot fail to be fraught with
good to the world. 1t was especially fitting
that, of all places Of the country, this city
should have been selected as the home for
such an institution that comes more near
than any other of embodying in practical
way the idea Of Washington when he ia

These two great institutions, Georgetown

the city was young and before its educa-

many government aids in the form Of ex-

the development Of the capital their oppor-

constantly grown.
Howard University.
After the close Of the civil war the need
for an educational institution in which col

of learning among members of their own
race caused the organization Of Howard
University, which was located on COM
manding hill on It'll street road just north OF
the city. Here have come colored students
from all parts of the south as well as from
every section of the country.
Howard University has successfully
sought to give to the colored youth every
opportunity for learning that is provided
for their white brothers in the foremost uni
versities of the country. The work has
progressed steadily, and from this institu-
ton men have gone forth fully trained in
all the professions to lives of usefulness
among the members of their race. They

Whether or not the dream OF Washing

capital, is realized in the form it was partly
matured in his mind. its essential features
have already been fulfilled. While Con-
gress has taken no action for the specific
purpose of establishing any great educa-

large part of It's legislation has been Tor
the upbuiiding of a center OF learning IN

reacted on educational movements in such
a way as to unerrngly draw them to the
one place in the whole country where the
environment forms an adjunct to the class

by the expenditure OF vast sums during
generations by the greatest and wealthiest

From the Springfield Republican.
It is a picturesque announcement that
diplomatic relations between Greece and
Persia are about to be resumed after an
interval of non-intercourse, extending over
1888 years. The last diplomatic relations
between the two powers, It is said. was
when Darius. in 491 B. c., sent heralds to
Athens to demand the submission OF the
Greeks to Persia The immortal defense
of the pass at Thermopylae by Leonidas
against the Persian host was in $50 B. @.
The sending of heralds to Athens by Darius
was not equivalent to the modern concep-
ton of continued diplomatic Intercourse
but the episode perhaps win serve in the
way it is now used in order to connect the
Persia and Greece of today with their
mighty predecessors of the ancient world
If the two countries were embodied some
how in spirit and had kept their faculties
all these years, they might now sit down
and have an interesting talk over their ex-
periences since the days Of Darius, Xerxez
and Alexander.
