PORTRAITS OF COLUMBUS.

They Are Almost as Numerous as the Sands by the Seashore. The numerous portraits of Columbus, presenting such wide extremes of ap- pearance as to seem absurd, yet have enough features in common to provide good material for creating mental pie ture of Columbus. In person he was tall and shapely, long-faced and aquiline and had very pale gray eyes. In early life his complexion was very fine.
 !, In the generally accepted historical pictures he is represented as possessed of mustache and pointed beard. At thirty his hair was quite gray. He was temperate in eating, drinking and dress, and so strict in religious matters

that for fasting and saying all divine offices, he might be thought professor in some religious order.
 Notwithstanding all he has done for this country some American writers have recently sought to prove that his moral conduct would not stand the high test of a comparison with that of New England Sunday school-teacher. He was really so devoutly religious that his signature is cipher, said to mean ''Servate-me, Xristus, Maria, Yosefus, Christoferens."
 In his later years he suffered from gout, ophthalmia and other maladies which his many hardships brought on.
 His sight and hearing were quick and his sense of smell extremely delicate,

Oldest Engraving of Columbus.

The oldest engraved likeness of Columbus appears in Latin literary work by Paolo Giovio CPaulus Jovius, tn Latin form), dated 1875. This wood gut is thought to have been copied from picture which Jovius had placed in a gallery of notable people which he had formed in his villa at Lake Como. The collection is now scattered, but the DOT trait is known to have figured in it.

Slavery on American Soil.

It is true that ''Columbus made the first slaves in America" but he was promptly and severely rebuked by Spain, and in the matter of slavery England might well wish that it's own blood had made half so clean record in the new world as Spain did.

Would Be Worth a Fortune.

During severe storm, on Columbus return journey from the new land he had found, he, feeling that his frail ship must go down, committed narrative of his discovery to the sea. What rich treasure it would be if it could be fished up in it's oil and tar envelope to-day, and given to the world.

and he had great fondness for per fumes. Even on his voyages he was fond of having his linen, which was very fine, and his gloves scented with essences or more often with dried flowers. Otherwise he was moderate and simple in diet and apparel from taste and on principle; he may be added to the list of great men who con- fined themselves as far as possible to vegetable diet and preferred water to wine. He was scrupulously careful of garb and person, even when he wore the garb of an associate of the order of St. Francis, as he did whenever circum- stances permitted.

 The same lateens serve for this double object, in bending the sails half way and hoisting them like yards by means of top ropes. Instead of having the points now used for reefng, these sails had bands of canvas called bowlines, which were unfastened when it was necessary to diminish the sails.

perils of the soldier in the line of battel

to be called upon to face any minute.
He goes where news is. He can't stop
to wonder if there is danger there, too.

A complete list of the reporters who
have during the past ten years died be-
cause they did their duty would be a
long one. The latest instance of such
martyrdom was poor Fred Hamilton, of
the Advertiser, who contracted typhus
fever during last winters outbreak of
the disease here, and died of it on North
Brother island.
In 1884 Sun reporter named Don
nelly was busily engaged taking notes
at a Broadway fire when ladder fell
from crumbling wall and killed him.
During the blizzard of 1858 a man
named Reilly, who was employed on
the reportorial staff of the Star, started
to Coney island to write up the effects
of the storm there. He was frozen to
death on the way.
Che of the most appalling accidents to
newspaper men on record Stratled Chi
cago about year ago. Four reporters
were on a railroad locomotive 10 write
up fast run. The engine was wrecked
and all four were killed.
Another Chicago reporter went up in
a balloon with an aerOnaut His BODY
was found weeks afterWard on the
shore of Lake Michigan.
The reporter who is writing this arti-
Gle barely escaped violent death several
times within year in an interior city.
He was shot twice in one night by a
gambler whose dive he had exposed;
was almost killed by anarchists who
assaulted him on seven different occa-
sions, and had his head cracked with a
blackjack in the hands of a confidence
man whose methods he had laid bare.
Instances of heroism among neWspa-
per men are common. Every epidemic
brings many of them. Henry Guy
Carleton, now the playwright, braved a
long siege Of yellow fever for his paper
when he was newspaper correspond
ent in the South, Every war develops
plucky writer's who would rather ride
before the blazing muZZles of a dozen
cannon than ''get left' on good piece
of news.

nificent material for man like Child to
die of cholera in Asia, but many others
have gone before him in somewhat SINH
lar ways, and many others will doubt
