columbus Was Not the First.

1t was at Lisbon that Columbus first
planned his voyage. But long before,
when Lisbon was a fourishing Arab
city, intelligent and splendid, Edrisi re-
lates that an expedition was sent out
from its port to explore the dark and
unknown ocean. The commanders were
brothers known as the Almagrurins, or
the Wandering brothers. They must
have set sail before the year 1850. They
crossed the Atlantic, it is said, visited
unknown islands and discovered new
lands. After weary voyage of many
months they returned in safety. A
street was named after them in Moorish
Lisbon, called the street of the Alma
grurins.
Possibly the attempt might have been
renewed, and q Moorish city might have
sprung up in Cuba or Hispaniola, at
Philadelphia or New York. But soon
the conquerin christians took Lisbon
and checked it,. advance in knowledge.
For many centuries it was given up to
war and chivalry. At length it revived
the Moorish instincts of trade and COM
MERGE. Lisbon became the center of
discovery, and Columbus learned in its
traditions perhaps the story of the Al
magrurins.-Eugene Lawrence in Har-

A Clever Rooster.

George Eliot once wrote that she knew
no such medicine for tired nerves as
watching the movements of flock of
ducks. Chickens are just as entertain
ing if they are observed, and if the &C.
cupation seems trivial it may with jus
tice and propriety be dignifed as the
study of natural history. Chickens
have as marked individuality as humans.
Captain Jinks was the son of his mother
and she a widow. He early developed
spurs that were a terror to the chicken
yard. His amusement was to go about
kicking out sideward and sticking the
shins of the other chickens and particu-
larly at feeding time.
For this reason the lady who thought
she controlled this chicken yard used to
stand guard and keep him off. Once
she missed her footing and fell prone,
dish in hand. Before she could recover
herself Captain Jinks ran up in front of
her PROSTATE face and csowed in tri-
umph. When the hour came for his
mothers egg laying he always went to
nest with her, and when the deed was
accomplished crowed as Justify as if it
had been his act.-New York Evening

Terrors of Letter Writing.

Here's a pretty state of things! Must

First Identified by His Dog.

Harry Ainsworth, a sporting man, was
killed at Stockton by the engine of the
local train from San Francisco. The
body was found ten minutes after the
train passed. The head of the remains
lay near the end of the railroad tie. His
dog, a setter, was let into the morgue
and after running about the box few
times, the animal jumped up and caught
hold of the lapel of the coat on the de-
deased, as if trying to pull him out of
the box. 1t was this recognition that
convinced the people who were there
that the deceased was Harry Ainsworth.
Later the body was positively identified

A Clever Method of swindling.

A gang of sharpers are having success
in a swindling game in the INTERIOR
towns of West Virginia. A we'll dressed
man puts in an appearance at country
store, and informs the proprietor that he
is searching for rare coins, giving list
of specimens and their alleged value.
He asks the storekeeper to keep sharp
lookout, and in case he gets any of the
coins mentioned in the alleged list to
keep them until he returns. which he
says will be in short time. Soon an
other stranger casually drops in and
buys some little article, and in making
rnange exhibits several coins which he
says, are pocket pieces.
The proprietor consults his list AMI
finds the value of the alleged poke
pieces put down at forty or fifty dolla
each. Anxious to make a good thins,
the proprietor nearly always pays a good
big price for the pieces. He then waits

A Definition of Poetry.

sarah's Buffalo Hunt.

"You knov that during Sarah Bern
hardt's recent tour through the south
she had mania for hunting" said Phil
areenwall, of Fort Worth, Tex, at the
Lindell. "She played in my house at
Fort Worth. She got into town on Sun

do until Monday night suggested that
she take her gun and go out in the coun-
try for spin. The suggestion delighted
her, but the only kind Of game she
wanted was buffalo. told George Low

Abbey stood transfxed and Bernhardt

FINALLY she recovered herself sufi-
GENTLY to take aim and blaze away at
the supposed buffalo. The bull fell to
his launches with bullet through his
carcass, and then we all took a shot at
him until he was dead. Some member
of the company was mean enough to
tell Nine. Bernhardt how we had fooled
her with the common bull, that there
were no buffalo in Texas at all, and she
was SO disappointed that she burst into
a food of tears. We all felt so bad
about it that we didn't allow the papers

TWO ON THE TERRACE.

Warm waves of lavish moonlight
The capitol Unfold,
AS II q richer moonlight
Bathed its white walls with gold,
The great bronze Freedom shining
Her head in ether shrining-
Peers eastward, as divining
The new day from the old
Mark the mild planet pouring
Her splendor DER the ground;
See the white obelisk soaring
To pierce the blue profound
Beneath the still heavens beaming.
The lighted town lies cleaning,
In guarded slumber dreaming
A world without a sound
No laughter and no sobbing
From those dim roofs arise,
The myriad pulses throbbing
Are silent as the skies
To US their peace Is given;
The need of spirits shriven;
see the wide, pure heaven
Reflected in your eyes.
All, Lowell O thousand ICONS
Shall range their trooping years;
The morning stars their pRans
Shall sing to countless ears.
These married States may sever,
Strong time this dome may shiyer,
But love shall last forever,
And lovers hopes and fears.
So let us send our greeting,
A wish for trust and bliss,
To future lovers meeting
On far off nights like this.
Who, in these walls undoing
Perforce of times rough wooing-
Amid the crumbling ruin
Shall meet, clasp hands and kiss.

IIse of CoIored Glass

There has been no more interesting
development in modern architecture
than that which has taken place in the
manufacture and use of colored glass
windows. Although perhaps fewer
stained glass windows are used than
formerly their quality has greatly i'm
proved. There is distinct movement
toward the softer colors and more quiet
forms. Designs of flowers prevail in
domestic architecture, while figures are
principally displayed in church win
dows. Painted glass windows, instead
of the lead sash, are in much demand,
as well as the drawn glass windows

Both Changed Their Minds.

Two men recently spent an evening
together. One had put in an applica-
ton for divorce from his wife, and the
other expected to be married soon.
Neither one would possibly admit that
the others talk had any influence on him,
but the next day the man who expected to
be married broke his engagement, and
the one who had put in an application for
a divorce withdrew it and made up with
his wife.-Atchison Globe
