reprehensible, and may lead to very serious

HISTORIC HINTS

The most ancient known coins are OF tho
fifth century B. c. and are Macedonian.
GEORGE WASHINGTON died on December
"a, 1909. His wife survived him about two
years and half
THE Alhambra at Granada, that wondrous
architectural monument Of Moorish domin-
ion in Spain, was built in 1850
THE cornerstone Of the White House, or
Executive Mansion, at Washington, D. c.,
was laid October Is, 1892, and the building
was first occupied by President Adams in
1900. 1t was burned by the British in 1914,
and restored and re-occupled in 1917. The
original cost was about 1886, 900; the total
cost up to date has been about 81, 100000.
NONE Of the accounts which we have seen
of the voyage of the steamship Savannah,
the first steamer which ever crossed the
Atlantic, give the tonnage Of the vessel.
As ships were then much smaller than now,
it is not likely that the burden of the Savan-
nah was more than $50 tons. The voyage of
the Savannah was made in 1919
ABsINTHE was introduced into Western
civilization by French soldiers after their
return home from the Algerian war in 1874.
1t is product of North Africa and the
soldiers mixed it with their wine as
febrifuge. Its manufacture is now one Of
the largest liquor trades in Europe. 1t is
chiefly made at Neufchatel, in Switzerland,
where 100000 gallons are produced anpu-
ally.
THE Pope Plus VII intened to crown Ma
poleon, and went to Paris for that purpose,
and the ceremony gained all the eclat that
the presence of the sovereign pontif could
give it; but as he was about to place the
crown on Napoleon's head, the latter took it
from the Pope's hand and placed it on his
head himself. Then lifting it from there,
he placed it on the head of Josephine, his
wife.
The Christian Era is the term given to
the great era from which all Christians
compute their time. II was supposed to
correspond with the date OF the birth of
Christ; but, according to some Of the high
est authorities, Christ was born four years
before the commencement Of our era. The
practice of reckoning time from the birth of
Christ was introduced in the Christian
church about the sixth century. The prac-
tice became general about the middle of the
fifteenth century.
II March, 1889, Washington first became
President, and IN his first address to Con-
gress, April 30, 1889, he desired Congress to
limit its "pecuniary estimates" for his
station ITO such actual expenditure as the
public good might reqsre." In March,
1888 the salary of the President was fixed
by an act of Congress, approved February
IS, at S25, 900 a year. The salary was raised
during Grants first term to $4,000 year;
but of course he received but SIS 900 year
