Christspher's Zones.

In the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
an article was recently published in
reference to Il glass tomb for the dust of
Christopher Columbus. for which After
bury & Co. of that city were to make a
design. A reporter met Mr.. j. C.. JAM
ison, n well-known citizen, who has
travelled extensively and witnessed
many strange sights in queer climes.
In a conversation that followed it ap-
peared that MIR. Jamison could tell an
interesting story about the great dis
coyerer. He had been present at one
scene in the drama, and was conversant
with the history and the tribulations
through which the corpse had passed,
and upon solicitation gave the follow-
ing account of the disposition of Column
bus's remains. He said:
!~History tells us that the remains of
Columbus are buried i'm Havana, Cuba
This fact was never disputed until few
years ago, when the discovery was made
that they are still in the island of San
Domingo. l was on that island about
that time, and know the facts bearing
upon the subject, which l will state as
briefly as possible.
"Christopher Columbus died and was
buried in Spain in 1906. His son, Don
Diego, died in 1926. In the year 1886
the remains of Columbus and his son
were removed to the island of San
Domingo and inferred in the principal
cathedral Of that city.
s.Durin9 the past 500 years that island
has been one continual scene of revolu-
ton and bloodshed. Few. if any, rec
orxls of it's government have been pre-
served. I All history or>written record
of passing events these many years
have been lost or carried away. The
population had sunk into ignorance,
poverty and superstition. and all
knowledge of past history became ira
ditional, existing only in the minds
of the people. Yet they never lost
sight of the fact that San Domingo city
was the last resting place of Columbus.
- '"Phey~had forgotten that his son,
Don Diego, was also buried with him
under the altar of the cathedral. So
when Spain relinquished control of the
island and came to remove the remains
of Columbus to Havana. the fact had
been forgotten that two bodies were de-
posted there (Golumbus and his SOM.
so that when the disinterment was made
by the Spanish authorities. they, through
Inisteke, took up the remains of theson-
, and Fhh agrent deal of porhp and cere-
kmony 1baried them At Havana as the re-
mains of the discoverer of America.
"The mistake was not discovered I'M
til 1878. Il became necessary to make
some alterations in the old cathedral,
and the workmen came upon lead
box, which, being opened and exam
6ned, was found to be the true remains
of Christopher Columbus from the in
scriptions on the box and his name on
p siiver-plate on the inside of the lid.

THE RAINDROP'S LESSON.

Little Raindrop, pure and sweet,
Falling softly on the street,
Tell me, Raindrop, if thou wilt,
What thy home iS-where it's built?
In what fountains cool and bright?
On what plOuntain's airy height
From what streamlcts laughing wave?
In What fairy's crystal cave?"

Home l have none. Pilgrim 1!
Coming earthward, Joy SOW:
Soaring Heavenward, pure grow.
Thus journey up and down.
Gladdening field or dusty town,
Whether sprinkling shriveled leaves;
Whether moistening thirsty caves;
Whether filling ciSterns dry;
Whether, answering suppliant cry;
Whether blessing good or bad,

Whether travelling east or west,
God, who sends me, knOweth best.
So go from earth to sky,
Never idle, happy l!
Fell the Raindrop at my feet,
Smiling, sparkling, on the street.
Little Raindrop, thanks to thee!
Precious lesson taught thou me.
Let me ever do my part,
Murmuring never in my heart;
Working always, helping all,

Never tempted work to stop,
Though my cup hold but u drop.

The Use of Paris Green.

Farmers, bear this in mind: You can
not have a large crop of sound potatoes,
no matter how rich the soil or how well
the crop is cultivated, unless the vines
and foliage are healthy. Protect them,
therefore. If you use too large pro-
portion of Paris green in the water or
plaster, then the leaves will be injured,
and injury from this cause is just as
harmful as injurv from the potato
beetle 1t is fac. that Paris green may
be so extended with plaster that it will
not harm the foliage while it will kill
the beetles or tAeir larva. 1t is, no
doubt, a handler way to many and GER
tainly it costs less to use this poison in
water, while it is Just as etfectual. But
the poison does not dissolve, so that, in
spite of constant stirring, the water of
the bottom OF the vessel from which it
is sprinkled upon the vines contains
enough poison to harm the leaves, and
it is for this reason we give preference
to its division with plaster, which may
be evenly distributed over every part of
the plant. Sifters and bellows are now
sold in most country stores, or the
former may be constructed at home at
a trifling cost. We have used Paris
green in water and in plaster through
several seasons and carefully noted the
result upon the foliage. While that
upon which the poisoned plaster was
applied remained green and luxurious,
the middles (mid-veins) of the leaves re-
ceiving the poisoned water would often
turn gray and finally wither. Let us
then bear in mind that our object is to
preserve our potato vines as much from
the injury of Paris green as from being
devoured by the potato beetle. The
one is just as important as the other.
and both may be accomplished if we
would use, instead of poisoned water,
one part of pure Paris green to 100 parts
of plaster and thoroughly mix them
together, SO that the, plaster will be
evenly. though very Slightly, tinted
throughout with the poison. 1t is best
to. purchase the plaster and green now
and to mix it as above suggested and
store it in barrels in a perfectly dry
place. Thus mixed, there is little, if
any, chance of its poisoning animals,
since they would have to eat a consider
able quantity to do them harm, while
pure Paris green is a most dangerous
article to have about the premises

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND CRANE.
The third appearance of the popular comedians,
Robson and Crane here this season was at the
Grand last night, and the efforts of these gentle
men and their excellent company were received
with much favor by large audience. "Sharps
and Flats" was given-a most amusing perform
ance. II Is a clever comedy, and Messrs. Robson
and Crane appear to excellent advantage in 1t.
The support given by Miss Henry, Miss Bradley,
Mr.. Lpman and the remainder of the company
thoroughly satisfactory. Miss Henry still
continues to improve-a fact that is noticed with
pleasure by her friends here Both she and Mr..
Llpman will he members Of Robson & Cranes
company next year. The present season will
close at Scranton, Pa, June 2, when both will
return to this city, The performance last night
concluded the most successful season the Grand
Opera-house has ever had.

this startling tour de force a knowledge of all

splendid European reputation"

drill with the communicates from this city and
KoKomo. OF the drill, the Commercial Gazette
says:
"There were six entries in all for the two
classes, three in each In Glass were the fol-

the drill were executed by all with neaJness and
precision, and warm applause greeted each. To
an mex experienced observer all were alike prof.
cient, and he would lind the utmost difficulty i'll
telling who should receive the prizes. Only
experts-such as judges-w6re able to draw the
nice distinctions. With the majority of Sir

there was certainly remarkable military precis-
ion. The indianapolis division also drilled fine

corps OF the latter was an admired feature OF the
evenings entertainment, The drill was not fin
ished until nearly half past this morning. The
visiting drlll corps and lodges from other turis-
dictl0us were courteously honored with the first
place in the procession, and according to that
arrangement the first company in line of march
was Indianapolis Division No. 2, in command of
Captain Many, with twenty seven men. Their
appearance was very handsome. The division
was preceded by the Indianapolis Light Infantry
Drum Corps, of eighteen men. The Sir Knights
were robust and, as rule, heavy-set men,
marching with the precision Of veterans.
