When Columbus Discovered America
An interesting discussion has arisen res
garding the anniversary OF the date of the
discovery of America, in which it has been
suggested that Oct. 70 is not correct. The
reason is this: When Columbus discovered
this country on Oct. 70, 1899, time was
reckoned by the old erroneous Julian calen-
dar; now time is counted by the Gregorian
system. Between the two there was a diff
ference of eleven days as far back as 1851,
when the parliament Of England adopted
the Gregorian system. At that time
George Washington was twenty years old.
and when parliament decreed that
Sept 2, 1862, be known as Sept.
IA, it changed his birthday from
Feb. II to Feb. % So ignorant were the
people Of England in those days that they
rioted in the streets of London, declaring
that parliament had shortened every body's
life by eleven days.
But while Washington's birthday and
otner minor dates we're brought up to con-
form to the new mode of counting time, the
anniversary Of the discovery OF the con-
tinent was not, and it still continues to be
enormously stated according to the old
notation.
Astronomers and mathematicians have
calculated that by the Gregorian system
acknowledged to be the correct method
the calendar repeats itself every 400 years,
so that any date of the month in 1892 would
fall on the same day of the week in 1899.
If Columbus had discovered America FAC.

The Chicago Times continues to discover
barroom postoffioes in the northwest An
other has been found in Wisconsin. The
postal laws provide that mo postoffice shall
be located in barroom or any room con-
nected Herewith; nor must any mail
be opened or any mail matter be
delivered in any room where liduor
is sold at retail, except such liquors
as were sold by druggists for medicinal pur-
poses only, and not to be drunk on the
premises" But what in the world can Mr..
Wanamaker do! The Chicago Tribune has
declared that the great majority of beer
saloon keepers in the west are republicans"
so it will be seen at once that the Postmaster
General cannot afford to make or emies for
the administration when delegates are so
badly wanted. That part Of the postal law
fits republicapism in Maine, but in Wisoon-
sin they do not pay much attention to it.

THE ORIGIN Of the word cigar is of some inter.
est, and is not to be found in the ordinary
dictionaries The word, of course, is Spanish
and is derived from the word cigarra, the
Spanish name for grass-hopper When the
Spaniards first introduced tobacco into Spain
from the island of Cuba in the sixteenth cen

A Palace of Silver.

A New Yorker has wrii ten letter
to Secretary Foster in which he pro-
poses a novel attraction for the
Worlds Fair. He says:
81 wish to point out to you that
you have IN your power, with the
consent of Congress, to construct the
most beautiful and magnificent, az
we'll as the most valuable, exhibit
the World ever saw. | allude to
building palace Of silver, con-
structed of silver now IN bullion and
coin now in the Government vaults
and the various repositories. If the
Government could get permission
from Congress to recast $4,000 tons
Of it into slabs of say 600 pounds and
one inch thick. This would give
100000 superficial feet, out of which
could be built the most beautiful
structure the world has ever seen.
It would build structure 400 feet
by 500, with a tower 800 feet high,
on which could be placed an Ameri-
can cage with wings Of 100 feet
spread. A silver palace worth $780,
600, 900 would be an attraction that
would draw millions of people who
want % see something new and grand.
Not over ST, 900, 600 need to be ex-
pended in the construction of such a
palace, which could be guarded by
the sfmy."
