DISCOVERIES OF AMERICA.

Professor Eben Norton HOrsfOrd
said to a ST. Louis GlobeDemocrat
correspondent: ''For six years now 1
have given up all other work and de-
voted myself exclusively to the prob
lem of the first discoveries of this
country There is no other labor that
engages my attention, and I am salts
fed that before I die I shall convince
even the most skeptical that my solu
ton of the problem is correct. The
latest discovery that [ have made in
this line, and which 1 shall soon give
to the public, is the evidence indis-
putable of the landing on the Cape
Cod peninsula of the heroes of the Sa-
gas. This was about thousand years
NJ ago, and the evidence that is adduced
is the picture of keePs head that the
Mortimer left on the cape. The keel
of the boat in those times was fasten-
ed to the vessel underneath the wa
ter, and when it became necessary to
repair the keel, because of injury or
wear, it was taken off and new mate
rial substituted.
Evidence on the cape has been dis
lowered of one of those keel heads
that was removed from vessel and
stuck up in the sand by the sailors as
a memento of their visit to the cape
This keel's head stood upright for
long time, and then in the course of
years was buried in the soil. 1t is easy,
" as look at the evidence, to trace the
movements of the sailors who landed
There. In my minds eye 1 can see
the rope lines on which they hauled
up the ship, and the supports that
held the vessel on the shore while the
work of repairing the keel went on.
And then / can almost mark the spot
where the keel's head was set up in
the sand.
1t is interesting to trace the name
|sCape Cod back through it's ethnologi-
cal alterations until 1 find that the or
fginal name of the peninsula was the
word combination which in the Ian

PEKIN, THE CHINESE CAPITAL.

Pekin, the capital of the Chinese
W Empire and of the province of Chill
or the Tunghui River has population
estimated at 100000. 1t stands or
NM an extensive plain and consists Of
Kin Ching, the prohibited city, con-
n tanning only the palaces of the Empe-
ror and the dwellings of his immediate
NJ retainers; Hwang Ching, the imperial
n city, with a large number of court Of
a ficials; Nui Ching the Tartar city,
Nh comprising twelve square miles, and
Wal Ching, the Chinese city with fiji
s. teen square miles of area. The Tar
tar city is surrounded by wall 60
feet high and 80 feet thick, the Chi
nese city by one so feet high and 25
feet thick. They are built of stone
N and brick and filed with earth. The
w suburbs include an area of twenty five
miles.
The prohibited city, two miles in
circumference, is entered by four gates
each surmounted by tower. The
buildings are superior to any others
in the empire. The Meridian gate
leads to the imperial buildings, and is
reserved for the Emperor solely. Five
marble bridges, spanning little
stream, lead to a marble paved court,
and the Gate of Extensive Peace, at
which the Emperor receives the hon.
age Of his courtiers on great state days.
Ascending the stairway the Tranquil
Peace of Heaven is reached, into
which none can venture without spec
ial royal permission. The number of
people within the prohibited city is
small, most being MantchOOS.
The Imperial city, surrounding the
prohibited city, has wall 20 feet high
pierced by four gates through which
no one can enter save by special per-
mission. 1t contains the tablets of
the deceased Emperors and Empress
es and the affairs of gods. There is
also the Russian college, Military
stores and King shan, the artificial
mountain with each Of its five sum-
mits crowned by pavilion.
The Tartar city surrounds the I'm
perial city and contains the principal
Government offices and the Hall of
Science erected in 1880. Near by is
the Russian church of the assumption
and the Temple where his majesty and
Princes worship their ancestors on
the first day of every month.
The city is in control of the General
of the nine gates, near whose head
quarters is the high tower in which is
the immense drum and bell that pro-
claim the hour of midnight. Not far
away is the white pagoda with it's ODE
1isk erected by Kublai Khan in the
thirteenth century, about which, upon
108 pillars, lamps burn continuously
in Buddha's honor.
The Chinese city is the most .popu
lous, but its structures are poorly
built. The houses are of brick, one
story high, with roofs of tiles. 1t con-
tains the affairs TO heaven, to agricul-
ture, and the pool dedicated to the
spirits of the waters, where His Ma
jesty performs special supplications
whenever the country suffers from
drought.

LAST DAY AND BEST DA VS..


Every human BEINGS last days
should be his best days. If he has
wisely used the earlier half of his life,
with the average opportunities ac-
corded to mankind for amassing prop
erty, he will have money enough to
maintain him without toll The first
half of a mans life may be devoted to
working for others and doing their
will, but by the time he enters on the
second half he will be able to spend
! the rest of his years in pleasing him
SELF
The laws of hygiene are now SO well
understood that anybody may learn
them. A man should have learned so
well how to take care of himself dur
ing the first half of his life that during
the last half he will have perfect
health
Experience will have knocked off
sweetened his temper. He will have
met SO many disappointments and
lived safe through them all and come
out happily, that at length he will
have learned that no sorrow can be
eternal and no misery is SO great that
there will not yet be good deal Of
fun on the after side Of it. The crude
passion and fierce greediness of raw
youth will have exhausted themselves.
Care and disappointed hope can no
1Onoor cot Tho h0o1.t ont and YT1io the
digestion. The experience of years
will enable the man to take his fellow
man and the events of life harmOni-
ously and kindly. His face will reflect
the content and repose Of his soul, and
he will be better looking than he was
in his youth Hewill also have learn
ed to be more careful Of his manners,
dress and personal appearance, for
that will be one of the lessons taught
by wise experience. Oh, yes; mans
last DAYS are his best days.
