Columbus and His Sailors.

When we think how superstition.
gradually retiring from the world, still
keeps its grasp upon sailors of to-day,
we can imagine how il must have ruled
the ignorant seamen OF Columbus. The
thoughtful, lonely ways OF their admiral
made him only an object of terror;
they yielded to him with wonderful sub
mission, but it-was the homage of fear.
The terror reached its climax when they
entered the vast - Sargasso Sea- u
region of Gulf-weed-a tract of ocean
as large as France, Humboldt says
through which they sailed. Here at last,
they thought, was the home OF all the
monsters depicted in the charts who
might at any moment rear their dis
toried forms from the snaky sea-weed.
Like demons cndiong tressses, they sailed
ri 70 Igh.
AT the very best, they said, it was an
inundated land (tierrdS GnegGdGs)-
probably the tabled sunken island At
lantis, o which they had heard; whose
slime, tradition said, made it imposs bic
to explore that sea. and on whose sub
merged Swallows they might at any time
be ho lelessly swamped or entangled.
Are there no graves at home,n they
asked each other. according to Herrera,

The MOney.Order System.

The Superintendent of the Money
Order Division of the Post-office Depart
ment sent out on Saturday an order that
hereafter, when money-order has re
manned sixty days in post-offiee with
out payment being demanded, the post
master shall send private notice to the
payee, if his address is known, inform
ing him OF the fact and giving the name
and address of the remitter. The payee
is requested by the circular to present
the corresponding order for payment,
if it is in his possession; or, if it has not
been received, 10 obtain it, if practical
BILE, from the remitter, and, in the event
of its loss in transit or otherwise, to sug-
geSt to the remitter that he make appli-
cation for duplicate.
This circular is a new departure in the
policy of the Money-Order Division, and
is one that ought to have been made
years ago. Had it been adopted on the
start, there would not now be in the
Treasury to the credit of the money
order system the great sum of over a
million and a quarter of dollars, the ac-
erection of money-orders remaining un-
paid. Not dollar of this fund belongs
to the Government. 1t belongs to peo-
pie who paid for orders, which, largely
through the defects of the postal sys-
tenn, did not reach the persons to whom
they were sent. 1t may safely be said
that nine-tenths of this sum could have
been made to reach the payees, or could
have been returned to the remitters, had
not policy of concealment been adopt
ed. Instead of seeking earnestly either
to pay the money to the payees or re-
turn it to the remitters, rule was
adopted forbidding postmaster, under
penalty of dismissal, to furnish the very
information now ordered to be given by
the new circular.
If the department is content with the
present step, it will fail to do all that j:
should do to stop such a wrongful deten-
ton of the peoples money. 1t is evil
dent that the payee of an unpaid order
NAV be out of reach after sixty days.
and so may never receive his notice
In such a case, after the lapse of another
thirty days, the remitter should be no.
titled that the money he has deposited
remains unpaid. As of course the
payee has the first claim to payment, it
would be necessary to provide that
some set time-perhaps six months ad-
ditional-should elapse before repay
ment was made to the remitter.
Nor should the effort to be honest stop
here. Every means should be taken by
publication of lists and otherwise faith
iully to disburse the fund now on hand
before passing law to cover it into the
Treasury. In every other respect the
money-order system is model of pre-
cision~and fectiveness, and even in the
matter of this lapsed order fund it is
probably less at fault than any other sys-
tenn in the world, and the step it has
now taken is one in advance of most
other systems. But nothing can be said
in favor of covering such a fund into
the Treasury until every means has
been exhausted to find the real owners
of it Washington Cor. N. Y. EUenin9

because they aided in the discovery OF
the New World, were only winds of de-
spaiE.o the sailors. They believed that
the ships were sailing down an inclined
slope. and that to return would be inn
possible. since it blew always from
home. There was little to do in the
way of trimming sails, for they sailed
almost on a parallel OF latitude from the
Canaries to the Bahamas. Their sever
est labor was in pumping out the leaky
ships. The young adventurers remained
listlessly on deck, or played the then
fashionable game of priD1erO. and heard
incredulously the daily reports told by
Columbus of the rate of sailing. They
would have been still more incredulous
had they known the truth. ''They

in search of land, though he thought
they were near it, but he would press
straight through to the Indies Some
times there came contrary wind, and
Columbus was cheered by it, for il
would convince his men that the wind
did not always blow one way, and that
by patient waiting they could yet re-
turn to Spain.
As the days went on the signs of land
increased, but very slowly. When we
think of the intense impatience of the

they have been ten long days on the
water, even though they know precise;

going, and that they are driven by me-

the feelings of Columbus and his crew
as the third month wore on. Still there
was no sign of hope but pelican to-day
and a crab tomorrow; or a drizzlin Q
rain without wind-a combination which
was supposed to indicate nearness to the
land. There has scarcely been a mo-
ment in the history of the race more full
of solemn consequences than that even
ing hour when. after finding a carved
stick and hawthorn branch, Columbus
watched from the deck in the moment

MahOutS.

Men in India who drive or care for
elephants are called mahouts. If therf
are children in the family the elephant
shows great fondness for them, and are
really careful nurses. In that warm
climate it is no uncommon thing for
jaclal or wolf to walk into hut when
the mother is away, or even when her
back is turned, and pick up and carry
off the baby. But if placed in the ele-
phant' care she can go away feeling
perfectly safe, and the children en- ,oy
their huge playfellow. Sometimes a
number of elephants may be seen lying
down in the water, with their backs
just above the surface, making small
island on which the children play in
great glee. If one tumbles off the ele-
phsnt fishes him up with his trunk and
puts him back again. Chtcago Herald.
