How the Pacific Ocean Was Discovered.

Three hundred and sixty-eight years
ago, the great ocean now known as the
Pacific had never been seen by white
men. 1t was Vasco Nunez de Balboa,
Spaniard, who saw it for the first time.
He had heard about it from the In
dians when he was on the Isthmus of
Darien, at the eastern side. 1t was
only sixty miles across the Isthmus;
but there was no road, and the way was
beset with dangers. He made the In
dians friendly by his good treatment of
them, and they did what they could to
help him. 1t took him twenty-six days
to cross the Isthmus. Then he learned
from his Indian guide that from the
next high hill he could see the ocean.
This was on the 29th of September,
1913.
Balboa and his men toiled up the hill;
and when near the top, he cried out
"Haltn' His men halted, and then he
climbed up the highest peak. What a
glorious sight! There lay the great
Pacific Ocean spread out blue and
smooth before him. Beneath him lay
hill, wood and valley. Moved by the
sight, Balboa knelt, and thanked God.
He cut down a tree and made cross,
which he placed on heap of stones.
On it he wrote the names of the King
ndQueen of Spain. Then going down to
the shore he stood on the sand till the
water reached his knees. In one hand
he held his sword, in the other the flag
of CASTLE. He then said, in loud voice,
Long live the high and mighty King
and Queen of CASTLE! In their name
l take these seas and lands, and am
ready to defend their right against all
who may cfaim them"
Thus Spain laid claim to the country
The news of what Balboa had done
made a great noise in Europe. 1t was
looked on as discovery only second in
importance to the discovery of America
by Columbus. Nursery.

Poison Rings.

Poison rings still exist in many anti.
quarian collections. They are generally
of two kinds, one intended as an engine
of destruction to its wearer, the other
simply as q convenient receptacle or
hiding place for poison. Some years
AGO ring of the former description was
purchased at a sale of curiosities. Its
device was two sharp pointed claws
holding stone. The purchaser, slipping
it on his finger, received aslight scratch
from these claws, the points of which
bent inward. His hand and arm very
shortly became swelled and painful; a
doctor was sent for, who pronounced
the slight scratch poisoned. Examina-
ton of the ring showed that the claws
were hollow, and that poisonous mat
ter had been contained in them; doubt
less when first made, the ring would
have caused death, instead of merely
inconvenience, to its wearer.
Rings intended to contain poison are
frequently mentioned in ancient history;
II v as UC0TTTfTlOrr u UaTTy UnG as con-
venient means of suicide. By such a
ring Demosthenes probably destroyed
himself, and some historians say Hanni-
bal likewise. NJ. Crassus, the overseer
of the Temple of the Capitoline Jupiter,
being arrested on charge of purloin-
ing some of the gold deposited there,
broke a hollow receptacle of his ring
with his teeth, and fell dead on the spot.
The Emperor Heliogabalus is said to
have had collection of these poison
rings among his jewels.-LOndon GloOe.

Wkst Willy Saw New Years Eve.
minutes

am a very little boy, and 1 want to
tell you what l saw on New Years
Eve. Jack says l was asleep, but l
wasn't asleep. He thinks he knows
everything because he is two years big
ger; he says mean older, but | don't
like to be corrected all the time.
| was sitting straight up in bed, and
the door opened and an old man came
in. He was very small and his beard
was longer than he was, and he had a
green slate And the slate was all
covered with pictures, and he showed
them to me, and they were the pict-
ures of all the naughty things | had
done for ever so long. Oh it was
dreadful! All the faces | had made, and
all the times | had kicked Jack, and
all the Jumps of sugar that had taken
out of the sugar-bowl And while l
was looking the little Old man shook
the slate, and oh! all the things flew out
at me. The faces came and looked at
me so horribly, and the kicks kicked
me, and the pinches pinched me, and
the Jumps of sugar hit me on the nose
very hard and Kitty's doll that broke
came and beat me, with its broken leg.
And besides, all the naughty things |
said kept saying themselves over in
my ears, and screaming, Il shall!'
and 81 shan't!' and II hate Jack'
and "Nurse is a green-eyed Ogress"
and everything else. So was fright
ened, and | cried, but | shan't cry
when am as big as Jack, but he cried
the other day when papa whipped him.
And so then the old man raped on
the slate, and all the dreadful things
went back. Then he opened the door,
and in came such pretty little boy!
and he was carrying q slate to, but
there was nothing on it at all The old
man brought him up to my bed, and
said, "Now, Willie, listen to me! | am
the Old Year, and this is the New Year
am going away to night, and you will
never see me again, but the New Year
will stay with you until he is as old as |
am, and he will put down everything
that you do on his slate. | hope he
he will not have such bad account to
give of you as | have. Remember this
night, and good-by."
And then he lifted his slate, and hit
me on the head with it so hard that it
broke all to pieces. 1t hurt me very
much, and when | had stopped rubbing
it, they were gone. And lOaSn't asleep.
And don't you think it was queer? M
name is WILLY SYLVESTER.
p. S. Mi mama had to spell it and
punk chew it for me, but I am spellin'
thiss for myself.
P. s. am gong to bee good.
