"What was King Solomon renowned for above all else?" asked the elderly visitor, who was making a little talk to the children of the Sunday school.

The University of Berlin has nearly 5,000 students, Munich nearly 7,000, helping 4,000, Bonn 4,000, Heidelberg 4,000. In the principal universities f the Empire about 55,000 students are employed. Chat on Current Literature Concerning the Negro James R. Harris in Illinois Chronicle We have on our desk a book entitled "My Brother," a series of essays and addresses by Dr. Amory H. Bradford, and one of the finest expositions of the doctrine of "human brotherhood" it has been our good fortune to see. With rare insight, the doctor talks of the dangers to society that follow a denial of equal chances in life to all men, regardless of class or race. He reproves the church for her failure to induce men to "practice in their lives what they profess with their lips" and to our mind the reproof is strictly merited. There is no trouble between the races; there is no maladjustment between the weak and the strong, which cannot be lessened by following the teaching of Confucius: "Do not unto others that you would not have them do to you," or the positive statement of the same truth by Christ: "Do unto others, that you would they should do unto you." "The university and the pulpit," he declares, "are the hope of the world." This is true. Civilized men are, after all, but cultured barbarians, and the old proverb: "Scratch a Russian and find a Tartar," is true in spirit of the great majority. We boast our enlightenment—pride ourselves upon our intellectual and moral excellence, yet in the final analysis, things are largely in the hands of the brass-buttoned gentleman who stands on the corner with a club or a black jack in his hand. True it is, that we have taken the rings on our noses and we no longer paint (that is, most of us), yet in our treatment of the weak and the helpless we still believe in that good old rule, the simple plan: "That they may take who have the power, And they may keep, who can." We have just received the third of the series of monographs being published by the American Negro Monograph company, Washington, D. C. Its theme is the life of Benjamin Banneker, the great negro mathematician, who did so much to dispel doubt of the negro's mental capacity in the eighteenth century, and who was not only a recipient of letters of admiration and encouragement from Thomas Jefferson, but also an honored guest at the executive mansion during the administration of that great man. Without any of the numerous tables and other astronomical data, which must go so far toward lessening the difficulties of such a task, Banneker compiled an almanac for the year 1732, which fear-won the applause of many of the leading scientists of the day. He later sent a copy in the original manuscript to President Jefferson and accompanied it with a letter from which we quote: "Sir—I am fully sensible of the greatness of that freedom which I now take with you on the present occasion, a liberty which seemed to me scarcely allowable, when I reflected on that distinguished and dignified station in which you stand, and the almost general prejudice and prepossession which is prevalent in the world against those of my complexion. I suppose it is a truth too well attested to you to need a proof here, that we are a race of beings who have long labored under the abuse and censure of the world; that we have long been considered as brutish rather than human and scarcely capable of mental endowments. Sir. I hope I may safely admit, in consequence of report which hailed me, that you are a man far less inflexible in sentiments of this nature than many others; that you are measurably friendly and well disposed toward us, and that you are ready and willing to lend your aid and assistance to our relief from those many distressed and numerous calamities to which we are reduced. Sir—I suppose that your knowledge of the situation of my brethren is too extensive to need a recital here; neither shall I presume to prescribe methods by which they may be relieved, otherwise by recommending to wean yourselves from those narrow prejudices which you have imbied with respect to them, and as you proposed to his friends, and put your souls in their embrace; thus shall your hearts be enlarged with kindness and benevolence toward them, and thus shall you need neither the direction of myself nor others in what manner to proceed therein. This calculation, sir, is the production of my arduous study in this my advanced stage of life; for having long had unbounded desires to become acquainted with the secrets of nature, I have had to gratify my curiosity herein through my own assiduous application to astronomical study, in which I need not to recount to you the many difficulties and disadvantages I have had to encounter. We have quoted the letter at length that the reader may get an idea of the very intelligent way in which this taught negro expressed himself Banneker died in 1854, and no marshal marks the site of his resting place; we mention the fact with shame. A people's character is interpreted in terms of its appreciation for its great men, and we hope that it is not far distant when our purpose is whose Benjamin Banneker lived and wrought, may in some TOO MANY 1DLE NÉGROES. There are too many young negozi men losing the grizzles the year around. They ought to be forced to go to work and earn an living there are a large number of young girls men also losing the streets, many of them are responsible for as many crimes for more as the idea groo, but there white learners can be able afford this, because they are more consideration from the police force, and the courts are far more way show their gratitude by distinguishing the spot of his burial. The ten best-selling books in fiction for 1910 were the following: "The Rosary," "A Modern Chronicle," "When a Man Marries," "John Marvel," "Thruxton King," "The Silver Horle," "Lord Loveland Discovers America," "The Kingdom of Slender Swords," "Simon the Jester," and "Nathan Burke." It is interesting to note that of the thirty "best sellers," nineteen were written by men and eleven by women. Of course, being a "best seller" does not make a book literature, yet popularity does not imply a lack of merit and most of the above-given list will repay perusal. . . . In one of the magazines we read an article on "The New Japan," in which was expressed great concern over the rapid growth in power and prestige which the island empire has made in the last half century. Occidental nations are justified in their speculations about Japan's future. Suppose, for instance, that she finds it possible to arouse the Chinese from their sleep of centuries, and to inspire them with their own dynamic energies—think, read, what a power this yellow empire might become! Some idea of the enormous population of China can be formed when we remember that if we could place all the men in the world side by side in one long line, first an Englishman, then an American, etc., every fourth man would be a Chinaman. One of the sources of Oriental strength is their impenetrability—the occidental mind cannot see—behind the mask, or as Kipling puts it: "It is not good for the Christian race To worry the Aryan brown, For the white man riles, And the brown man smiles. And it weathe the Christian down; And the end of the night Is a tombstone white With the name of the late deceased, And the epilaph clear, "A fool lies here Who tried to hurry the east." Or as another writer who also knows his subject, puts it: "The brooding east with awe beheld Her impious younger world; The Roman temest swelled and The Roman tempest swelled and swelled. And on her head was hurled. The east how'd low before the blast, In patient, deep disdain; She let the legions thunder past. And plunged in thought again." The recent magnificent showing by the negroes of Chicago in raising so great a sum of money for the Y. M. C. A. movement simply proves conclusively that in this city the brains and wealth of the race is to be found. This one incident has done more to raise our people in the estimation of the world than all the editors ever written. A people who can in ten days secure $66,000 for any given purpose must be reckoned with. When we remember that our people are wage earners largely, and often, for policy's sake, are deterred in making large contributions to public enterprises, even when able to do, the result of this effort is all the more commendable. We thought we were doing a great thing here in Louisville in attempting to raise $15,000, but we take off our hats to Chicago, promising to be in the future. In his address at the dedicatory exercises of the Lane Tabernacle Colored Methodist Episcopal church in St. Louis recently Bishop Isaac Lane is reported as having said that race strife was the greatest work of the devil because it poisoned men's hearts and minds and instigated conflict. He said, however, that light was breaking through the darkness of ignorance and sin and that the dawn of a new American civilization was at hand when men would acknowledge the common brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. PRIZES ARE OFFERED TO NEGRO FARMERS. Vice-President Winburn of the Central of Georgia, in order to encourage the production of corn in the state by colored farmers, has offered to the negro producing the largest number of bushels of corn $100, and to the colored boy of eighteen or less producing the largest number of bushels per acre a scholarship in the Georgia State Institutional college for colored youths. These prizes will be presented at the colored state fair in Macon November 8 to 16. AND GROWING EVERY DAY. Dr. Booker T. Washington is a strimmer man with the best thinking people today than ever before. His past life and behavior during all these years makes for him a record and standing that cannot be marred by false accretions made by irresponsible characters—white or block—Rock Hill (S. C.) Messenger. Literal and sympathetic toward them, because there are five times more negroes distranchised by serving in the penitentiary than there are whites, although the white loafer deserves equal punishment for his multitude of crimes.

We began business with Sally, because the whites barred the colored people, and he being public spirited and feeling his race ought to enjoy the curative properties of its mineral springs, he has not spared his money to give the race a place to be proud of, and every year since he began business he has been adding improvements for the comfort and convenience of its many patrons. The hotel and bath house not only reflects credit upon the prosperity upon the race, and he requires your patronage for making the investment he has in order that we might derive the benefit of the mineral waters and its baths. MRS. GEORGE I. HUTCHINSON Last, but not least, he is ably assisted by Mrs. Hutchinson, who takes pride in seeing to it that their guests lack nothing, and per charming personality has won many friends and patrons for the Mt. Clemens Hotel and Eureka Mineral Bath House. Address George I. Hutchinson, Proprietor, 4b Welts street, Mt. Clemens, for information desired. See advertisement in this paper. Anything to Please. A lady was seeking to rent a room, and the little boy, who in the absence of his mother, was doing the honors of the house, was most anxious to please. "Have you any rats or mice?" asked the lady, presently. "No, ma'am, we haven't now," was the hesitating reply of the liddle, "but," with a gleam of hopeful determination, "I think I could get some, if you like!" Checking the Flow of Blood. In case of an accident when the flow of blood from a wound cannot be stopped, an application of equal parts of flour and sugar mixed well will effectually check the flow until the arrival of a physician.
