Columbus Idea Of the World.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue
cess Of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed be-
tween his own Europe and the land of
diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet to be braved
in the far regions of the antarctic pole in
order to sail from our continental Eu-
rope to the oriental Indies by the west
ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk
back in alarm and read.-Emilio Cas-
telar in Century.

Why, Indeed?

"Why does dog run sideways or di-
agonally?' inquired the purchaser of a
fine black Newfoundland pup Of dog
fancier the other day. well, sir, that's
question I've been asked frequently,
and after some investigation have con-
cluded the reason is that the animal has
been brought up that way. Why does
a chicken roost on one foot, or an owl
keep its eyes wide open all night long,
or rooster crow vigorously at the break
of early dawn, or a pig run homeward
with straws in its mouth before ap-
preaching rain? These are questions
that are as difficult to solve as some of
the astronomical problems. "-Philadel-

There is no danger of using too much

Acidity of the stomach is corrected by
adding little lime water to the drink

added to glass of milk corrects the
tendency which milk has to coagulate
in the stomach, forming a hard, indi-

be added to the milk fed the little

rinsed with it. AS mild disinfcctant

The Eskimo are very fond Of theat-
ricals. They mimic all sorts of animals
wonderfully, and the man who can do
this best is considered great actor.
This sort of mimicry is woven into the
shape of dramatic entertainments. One
performer will be bear, for example,
clad in appropriate skins, while the
others hunt him. Commonly the hunt
winds up with the death of the bear or
seal.-Bostop Transcript.

II had a curious experience while
passing through New York." said a
western lady to some friends on the
beach at Newport. 1--WE had taken
rooms at the Blk, and unfortunately
reached New York just in time for an
absolutely torrid hot wave AS had
pressing need for few days shopping
| kept my husband and brother in town
for forty-eight hours, to their great dis
comfort, and they spent their evenings
by the windows of our sitting room in
the lightest Of attire, drinking iced
drinks and trying vainly to keep cool.
The night before we left town we re-
tired rather late, after the men had
been solacing themselves in their usual
fashion.
"'lt was SO hot that it was some time
before l could sleep, and just as was
doing off remembered that | had left
my rings on the dressing table near the
sitting room door, the windows of which
were wide open on little iron balcony.
"A good chance for robbers | thought
drowsily, but was too lazy to get up to
put them in safer place. Late in the
night was aroused by the report of a
pistol. or what sounded like one; and
my first impression was that l was shot,
for ! was literally bathed, head and
shoulders, in something that felt sure
for the moment was blood.
Henry screamed, 4 have been
shot! ! am dying And l felt so strange
and giddy that l was sure my end was
approaching. Take good care of the
children, ! murmured. And, oh.
Henry, promise me not to marry that
horrid Miss M that you seem to adj
mire so much! What nonsense, Emu!
said my callous spouse, as he struck q
light and turned on the gas, you have
been dreaming
"'But | am wet with bloodv | ex.
claimed Indignantly, feeling that after
all he wasn't worthy of a tender death
bed scene, and that felt all right again.
BY Jove, you are moist, he said, put
ting his hand on my shoulder, but it is
not blood, whatever it is Suddenly he
gave great guffaw of laughter and
pointed to the parlor, which was dimly
lighted by the gasjet in my room.
Well, what is it? don't see am
thing ! put in Grossly, for by this time
| felt thoroughly upset.
"'Oh, it is too delicious he gasped.
You have been shot, you poor little
thing. but not by burglars; only by q
soda water bottle, and there on the table.
where he and my brother Harry had left
them, lay a couple of bottles, one point
ing as straight for my bed as If it had
been aimed at me. Henry had cut the
wires combining the cork of one Of the
bottles and had then concluded not ia
open it, and ! suppose the heat NAV have

tSM TONS, WAtC0 Oh C0WtH0s W0uAQ
require $50 pounds OF potash. Now
the very poorest Florida soil I have
analyzed contains eighty pounds Of
potash in million, or assuming
Johnson's estimate to be correct that
one acre of soil to one foot ia depth
weighs four million pounds (too low
an estimate for Florida) this would
give $40 pounds in one foot Of soil.
The roots of the palmetto extend
often to the depth of eight or ten
feet. Assuming them to reach only
five feet, this poorest Florida soil
would give 1900 pounds OF potash
or between three and four times the
the amount needed, within the posi-
BILE reach Of this potash loving plant.
Ga low, moist ground, where the
palmetto grows so abundantly. the
potash is present in much larger
proportions. So that the apparent
inconsistency at once disappears
when the matter is subjected to the
test of examination.
In the very hurried examination
which / was able to make, some other
facts were brought out which may
be of interest to the public. The
question Of the existence of fannie
acid in the fresh root has been the sub
ject of considerable discussion. Some
chemists are reported to have
declared that the palmetto root con.
tains no tannic acid, while others are
said to have found it in abundance.
A part of this discrepancy may arise
from the fact that some may have
made their examination of the green
and others OF the dry root. 1t is
quite likely, however, that the question
is one rather of the definitions of
terms, than of actual composition. II
the meaning OF the word "lannic
acid" is restricted to that which is
sold as such in the drug stores or
that which is found in the bark Of
oak or hemlock or sumac, or any of
the substances ordinarily used for
tanning leather, it may be truthfully
said that the palmetto contains no
fannie acid. II, however, the word is
used with that larger meaning which
includes the astringent principle O.
catechu, cinchona bark and a large
number of kindred vegetable sub
stances, and which resemble each
other in their power of forming a
precipitate With per salts OF iron and
rendering gelatine insoluble in water,
then the palmetto contains "tannic
acid" III great abundance. The fresh
juice Of the root throws down a
green precipitate with per salt OF
iron rapidly turning brown, instea !
of violet black which is character
istic OF the ordinary tannius. A
number of other reactions were ob-
served which show the difference
between palmetto tannin and the
ordinary article. II does, however,
preclpitate gela.ine and the inference
is obvious that it will be likely TO
prove valuable for tanning leather.
OF course this matter can only be
settled in an industrial way by care
full and Intelligent exp .riments by
skilled practical men who are accus
toned to the manufacture of heather.
II we add to the facts already
given the uses which are being IN ade
OF the palmetto as fibre plant, it
would certainly seem that this long
abused aud despised tenant of the
fiat woods and pine barrens may Yet
play an important part in the
industrial growth and development
of our state.

81 love your brother" she had said.
1t was as if she had said:
"See, have all the world-all that it
contains is mine. All that is beautiful
or precious or to be desired by the heart
of a woman is mine. What can you
offer me more? What can you give me
in exchange if sacrifice all this?'
What could he, indeed? A few years
less of youth; somewhat hotter for
! tune; a wider knowledge of the world.
But this latter had its drawbacks; while
I he could offer her a very honest and
manly love, he could not offer her the
boyish alteration that goes with fewer
! years and narrower experience. / do
not say that this was the reason why he
could not win her; he might not have
won her in any case, even had there
been no one else, But there was an
other, younger, more ardent, perhaps
better fitted to mate with her young
| life. And so when she had stopped him
with that gesture, and said, 81 love
your brother" he had not argued his
cause further. Whatever the prize was,
however much he might otherwise have
striven for it, he would not strive against
him.
And as for her-she was but woman,
and with such woman the passion and
abandon of love outweighs all else. One
might protest as well against the sweep
ing power of fire or food as TO try and
stay its course. Such love gives much,
and gives freely and glories in the Civ
ing, and it demands much in return; it
will share with no other, And such
love will forgiya much, but there are
sQme things it will never forgive.
