who mastered England and ultimately
gave her a dynasty and an aristocracy,
should have let these momeptous dis
coveries pass into oblivion, should have
finally turned their backs upon land
of unbounded promise and settled down
in contentment on the ice-bound shores
of Greenland. The truth is that the
Norsemen at home never seem to have
realized the vast importance of the dis
coveries of their venturesome kinsmeu,
and although, as we have said, the
population increased to ten thousand,
the communications with Iceland and
Norway soon became titful, and after
the fourteenth century we hear little
of them. We have, however, brief,
written in 1i4S by the pope to bishop
of Norway, treating of the pitiful con-
di.ion of the inhabitants of Greenland,
who, thirty years before, had been at
tackled by hostile fleet, which carried
off the people of both sexes into cap
tivity. With much plausibilty these
invaders are conjrctured to have come
from the British Islands. BY the latter
half of the fifteenth century all com
muncation with the mother country
had ceased, and when John Davis re-
discovered Greenland, in 1885, no other
but Esquimaux people were found any
where on the coast. Traditions, how
ever, still exist among the Greenland
ers as to the first white visitors, and
from these and the Sagas it is evident
that latterly frequent collisions took
place with the natives, and the probab-
ility is that the remnant of the colon
lists was absorbed by the Esquimaux.
Bishops of Greenland continued to be
appointed down to the sixteenth century,
but these never made any effort to reach
their diocese. AS we have said, Nor
denskjold maintains, contrary to the
received opinion, that the remains OF
Osterbygd, much the larger settlement,
are to be found to the east of Cape
Farewell; whether he is right or wrong,
any addition to our knowledge of the
condition and fate of these premature
colonizers of America will be welcome.

ANGEL or two on the reverse, with the

Life-Saving M edals.

The Washington correspondent of
The Philadelphia Record says: If you
Jump into the Delaware and at the i'm
minent risk of your own life save the
life of another, the secretary of the
treasury will give you medal. If
your risk was "extra hazardous" or
your service particularly distinguished,
you will get a gold medal; if your risk
was of lower degree it will be of sill
yer. When the life-saving service was
reorgonized under its present efficient
chief, Sumner j. Kimball, congress es-
tablshed these rewards. They were
called the hrst-class and the second
class meadals then, and were given
only for the actual saving of life at the
actual risk of life. People who had
saved life at the risk of life objected,
however, to receiving second-class
medal for what they deemed first-class
service. One spirited young lady re-
turned the silver second-class medal
sent to her. She wanted the best or
none, and it now repOseS on its velvet
bed in Mr.. Kimball's Office safe. 1t
was found too, that men often saved
life at risk of property or of limb not
tantamount to a risk of life, but deserv-
ing of some recognition. 1t was thought,
for example, that the master of laden
vessel who delayed his voyage to save
q wrecked crew at great personal eX-
pense and inconvenience deserves a
medal equally with the man who simply
moistened his clothes in the surf. SO
congress, to meet these suggestions,
changed the names of the medals TO
gold medal and "silver medal" and
made the provisions of award so COM
prehensive as to take in all life-savers
at risk The terms of award are how
ever, not loose. This is evident from the
fact that while many applications are
received (through my congressman, "
of course few meadals are issued in
year; sometimes as few rs four or five,
and never more than n score. The ap-
plication which must be supported by
afiidavits, 90 to a committee composed
of the chief of the life-saving service,
the chief of the navigation division of
the treasury department, and the chief
of the steam-vessels inspection service.
These gentlemen have to be convinced
by evidence that would satisfy court
of law. They can not be bulldozed by
'your member" Once convinced,
however, they recommend You to the
secretary of the treasury, and he sends
you your medal with handsome little
letter. The medals are very handsome
themselves. A new series, somewhat
differing from the old, is now being

The man who has failed in the use Of
some indirectness is helped very little by the
fact that his rivals are men to whom that in
directness is something human, very far
from being alien. There remains this grand
distinction, that he has failed, and that the
jet of light is thrown entirely on his mis-
doings.-George Eliot

Warden Bell is very economically con.

Bell, in friendly way, that II he wished
to retain his position that he had better
at once mend his ways, for faithful and

For instance, look upon the Dawson adj.
ministration Of the Insane Asylum at

ing is good illustration:
The Nevada Tribune, Of Carson City,
shows the expenditures Of the Insane
Asylum to be 50. $50 Is for the month Of
July. At this rate it is costing 80 cents
per day for each patient in the Asylum.

under the Dawson administration. One
