Several years longer Columbus waited.
At last, worn out and disappointed, he
determined to leave Spain. and in 1491,
accompanied by his son Diego. he set out
to lay his plans before Charles VII. of
France. A mile and half from Palos
he stopped at the Franciscan monastery
OF La Rabida, on headland overlooking
the sea, to ask food for his son. The
prior, Juan Perez de Marchena, who had
been Isabella's former confessor, became
interested in his story, and sent for sew
eral learned men near by, and Pinzon,
ship owner and mariner OF Palos.
Perez detained Columbus, and went him
self to Queen Isabella, and returned with
money for Columbus to fit him for ap-
pearance at court
Again the navigator explained his pro-
ject to the Spanish sovereigns, but the
terms upon which he insisted were con-
sidered exorbitant and his proposition
was rejected. Columbus left the court
and once more set his face toward France.
But he still had friends in the persons of
Perez, Alfonso de Quinranilla and Luis de

The Idol Of the World.

In the worlds history there is no more
striking figure than that of Christopher
Columbus; no individual career SO full OF
romance, tragedy and pathos; no achieve
ments so momentous as his He gave to
civilization a new world and died in pow
ertv; he gave to freedom home and was
himself enchanted. In his seventy years
of life he scaled the heights of human
grandeur and sounded the depths Of hI-
man misery. Yesterday a visionary

morrow q forgotten, neglected, broken
hearted. penniless old man. History
waited long to do him justice, and it was
not until the present century that the
mists which had gathered around him
were cleared away and the true story of
his life and work given to his benefici-
aries. As the results of his achievements
have grown in Importance the greatness
of his deeds has been magnified, and now.

Bitten by q Rattlesnake

Rodney Percival, ga live California
boy" IA years old, had a strange ad-
venture few months ago. The &C.
currence is recorded in the Petaluma
Courier, and it's authenticity Is
vouched for by a Youths Companion
correspondent:
He was searching blackberry
hedge behind his fathers barn for a
ball, when he was bitten between the
first and second joints Of the middle
finger Of his left hand by rattle
snake that boosted eight rattles and
a button. While its fangs were still
in his finger, Rodney caught it about
the throat with his other hand, and
trampIed it to death.
This was the work of moment
What to do next? In the barn was
a calf which the boy had been in the
habit of feeding. He ran into the
barn and thrust the bitten finger into
the calf's mouth. The calf proceeded
at once to suck it vigorously. and as
the event proved, extracted all the
poison.
Rodney was urged to supplement-
tho Calls work by copiOus draugbts
OF whiskey, but declined the advice,
and the next day went to school as
usual, bearing the rattles as a trophy.
The calf died.

Nettle.R0Rh.

Urticaria or nettle-rash is a some.
what common ailment. 1t is charac-
terized by the sudden appearance of
rounded or linear elevations of the
skin, which are termed wheals. They
are OF varying length and figure.
Their color is generally white, con-
trast1ng with crimson ground. A
singular fact about them is that, Or
dinarily, they disappear as suddenly
as they come, and leave no trace be-
hind. However, they are apt to re-
appear in other parts of the body, es-
pecially at night, and greatly to
interfere with sleep as they are at
tended with burning and itching.
This tendency to reappear may con-
tinue for several days. Some cases
assume chronic form, and may last
for months and even years.
The disease seems to be due to a
peculiar disturbance of the nervous
system. The irritant may be some
troublesome article of diet, such as
shell fish; or certain drugs; or a gen.
eral dyspeptic condition; or some all
ment like eczema or scabies that gives
rise to scratching, the stings and bites
of infects, or the stinging hairs Of
plants. Sir Erasmus Wilson says of
some cases:
''The nervous sensibility of the skin
is so acute that wheals may be pro-
duced by the slightest touch, and
written characters may be developed
at will by the mere act of tracing
their outline on the skin with the
point of pencil"
The symptoms may vary in inten-
sity, but though in all forms the dis
ease is troublesome, it is rarely dan
gerous 1t is readily distinguished
from other diseases, somewhat re-
sembling it, by the sudden disappear
ance of the wheals, and by the fact
that similar wheals may be caused by
rubbing the finger brisklY over the
skin.
Urticaria, whether chronic or acute,
requires careful search for the
source of the irritation, for the treat
ment must depend largely upon this.
In severe cases help may be obtained
from the hot bath or flannels wrung
out in hot water, but there are other
remedies which the doctor can best
prescribe. Youths Companion

Good Dogs.

DR.. Gardner of Sharon Springs,
N. Y, IS the owner of several dogs
Gordon and Irish settlers. A little
while ago four them disappeared. and
were absent for six days. On Sunday
they returned, not together but
separately, at intervals of about ten
minutes.
The dogs looked half-starved, and
evidently expected to be punished for
their truancy. In the evening their
absence was satisfactorily explained.
One of DR.. Gardeners hired men,
John Hitler, started for a pond about
two miles distant, for the purpose of
gathering pond lilies. AS he neared
the pond he came across three of the
dogs, Nellie, Beauty, and Brownie, in
the woods. Rix was not in sight
John presently discovered that the
dogs had chased two young coons into
the hollow of an old tree Rix had
forced himself so tightly into the
tree that he could not release him
self. The three other dogs would not
desert him in his trouble, but had re-
NAMED by him for six days. They
had made efforts to release Rix by
breaking the tree, but to no purpose.
They had barked to call for help, but
the neighbors who heard them paid
no attention.
With the aid of fence rail John
Hitler soon released Rix from his
perilOus condition. The cOons were
dead. Rix would certainly have died
had the other dogs deserted him.

Younger brother, Bartholomew, to Lis

Europe gathered, attracted BY Prince
Henry's projects of discovery, and his
school of navigation.
Columbus alternated his voyaging with
map and chart-making. Now he went
on q voyage down the Guinea coast and
again, as in 1477, beyond Iceland. At
Lisbon, in 1873, he married Philippe
Perestrello, the charming daughter of
the Italian navigator. Bartholomew Per-
estrello, Governor of the Canary Island
of Porto Santo; and to that island they
went to make their home. Here he con-
ceived the idea of searching the mys-
terious West The charts of his father
in-law, now dead, the innumerable
legends Of the Isles Of St Beardan and
the Seven Cities, of Antillia and Bresil,
the strange remains cast on the shore,
drifted by Atlantic currents, all
strengthened the idea Of reaching
Cathay and India by sailing westward.
In few years he returned to Lisbon,
but was off on long voyages very often
He also received in 1474. letter from
Paul Toscanelli. the great Florentine
geographer, which did more than any
thing else to fix him firmly in his belief,
and with 1t map that confirmed all he
had dreamed. The letter said: 'From
the City of Lisbon due west there are
twenty-six spaces on the map, each of
which contains $50 miles, as far as the
very great and splendid City of Quinsay."

leaders were compelled to return to

the island is only 140 feet high, and
streams of water abound.

On January 4, 1893, Columbus set sail

bus, fearful of being sunk. prepared a
history of this most memorable of voy-
ages, hid it in cake OF wax, enclosed in

March he sailed into the harbor OF Palos,
amid the rejoicings of the people Fast
as the news could spread over Europe,
ran the intelligence that beyond the Sea
of Darkness Columbus had found the
islands surrounding Cipango. and the
way to Cathay was opened. Nearly
month later he made triumphant pro-
cession to the court at Barcelona. He
was received by the sovereigns with the
highest honors, and placed beside them,
he told the story of his voyage.
Columbus made four great voyages in
all and on May 10. 1902 has last began.

he ran 1t ashore. Here, stranded, he re-
