HIS THREE SHIPS.
Accurate Description OF the Fleet OF Old
Christopher Columbus.

Accurate Description OF the Fleet OF Old
Christopher Columbus.
The American naval officers sent to
Spain to ascertain the details of design
of the three craft which formed Colum-
bus feet on lis voyage of discovery,
with the design of having the vessels
built and navigated for the Chicago ex-
hibition, have been very successful In
their labors, and, indeed, many points
of dispute have been settled as to the
type of craft, and generally the famous
painting by Brugada in the museum at
Madrid has been found to be correct.
In the search the log Of the admiral of
the feet was found, as well as charts
and sketches made by the pilot, Juan
de La Corso. Columbus boat was the
Santa Maria, and the escorting craft
were named Nina and Pinta.
The first named was the largest, be-
ing about seventy-fve feet over all.
The keel was sixty-two feet, the breadth
was twenty feet (only four feet of
length to one of the beam, whereas now
it is nine to one). The hold was about
fifteen feet deep and the capacity be-
tween one hundred and twenty and one
hundred and thirty tons. The crew
consisted of ninety men, and they were
accommodated in houses forward and
aft. The latter extended to the center
of the ship and consisted of two stories,
somewhat after the style of the stern OF
our old two-dcckers.
There were three masts, with five
sails in all, including a jib, foresail
and mainsail of enormous area, with a
large cross painted on it, as was the
custom with the Spaniards and Portu-
guese to distinguish their ships from
those of the goddess. Above the main.
sail was a topsail, while on the mizzen.
mast there was what might be termed
three-cornered Notwithstanding be-
tween a lugsail and jib. The main
mast had military top. The speed got
was eleven knots per hour. She had
very small guns. By the way, the mair
flag had four squares, on two of which
was lion rampant, and on the Others
a castle, the arms of CASTLE. Aragor
was excluded from this honor by order
of Queen Isabella, as it refused to con
tribute to the cost. The pennant hac
the initials of King Ferdinand and the
queen, Isabella. The construction O.
the Santa Maria and the other two yes
sells is to be commenced forthwith.

nsn synolcates or subjects would be lost
to her. 1t would seem as if we could
find the means to carry on the war by
selling her property in open market and
using the proceeds; and when we hear
the shells from her fleet, if we should
do 50, breaking the plate glass in Broad
way. we should be comfortably remem-
bering that great deal of it belonged
to English people. Stopping the ex-
port of cotton for three months would
starve Manchester and its workmen and
would be of advantage to us, as cotton
is very low in price and we could use it.

HIS POOR SERVANT.
What Noted French Author Wrote of
Himself

Himself
When Honore de Balzac, the novelist,
stated in early life his wish to become a
literary man, his father, who had des-
tined him for the bar, was shocked and
disappointed. Still, he gave the boy two
years in which to prove his fitness for
literary life, and Honore was accord
ingly installed in an attic near the IL
brary where he proposed to work.
His mother believed that little hard
ship would soon bring him to his senses,
but the correspondence which he there
upon began with his sister shows that
the man who was afterward to attain
distinction in his chosen work could az
ford, as a'youth, to scorn such trifes as
waiting upon himself. In the very first
letter, he confded to his sister the news
that he had taken a servant. BE writes:
HE is named Myself And a bad
bargain he is, truly Myself is lazy,
clumsy, thoughtless. His master Is
hungry or thirsty, and often enough.
Myself has neither bread nor water to
give him; he doesn't even know how to
shield him from the wind which whis-
ties through the door and window. AS
soon as am awake ring for Myself,
and he makes my bed. Then he sweeps
the room, and clumsy he is at it.
"'Myselfr
"'Yes, SIR
Look at that cobweb with the
big fly buzzing in it till am half-giddy
with the noise, and the fluff under the
bed, and the dust on the window panesr
The lazy beggar gazes at me and
doesn't stir, and yet, in spite of all his
defects, can't get rid of that unintel
ligent Myselfl''
And the same stupid Myself" it was
who afterward enriched French itera
ture with series of wonderful works

find some kind Of a gambling scheme.
And it was not what we call the sports

zens of the country.
THAT section of Kentucky Is very
productive. 1t comprises the country
in the neighborhood Of Lexington,
Shelbyville, Paris, Frankfort and Mount
Sterling. 1t is no doubt garden spot,
and it Is little wonder that the people
do not work hard. All they have to do
is to take care of what is around them. -

Not to be passed in the universal race for
first place in their line of usefulness, the
operators at the Northern Pacific have
decided to equip themselves with type
writer's, and have placed an order for
fifteen machines. Helena men set the pace
for the country. Since the big order placed
by Western Union operators in Helena
those in Portland by the Pacific have done
likewise, ordering fifteen, and those III
Milwaukee by the lake rave ordered about
twenty-five. And now comes the Northern

an added order, making a total OF thirty
seven machines in use by photographers in

In viaw Of the possibility OF snap

Tho reaction against fanaticism Is al

Common sense protests against the clos

alters and other places of amusement are
running full blast. From the moral, as
we'll as the physical standpoint, no Wis

cent Sunday recreation which the expo

directors should keep at heart the inter-
ests of those for whom the one available

Carpeting Rooms to Suit Compilations.

A lecturer who has made a study Of ar
tistic upholstering maintains that the deco
rating Of a room, SO far as colors are con-
cerned, should be made dependent on the
complexion of the person to whose use it is
particularly devoted.
Assuming this theory to be correct, the
colors employed III the parlor or boudoir of
a woman with auburn hair, should be
cream white, rich blue green, black, olive,
pale yellow, gray green, rich bottle green,
stone gray. pale amber or amber. The col
ors to be voide in this instance are blue,
blue white, palo green, bright rod, bright
rose pink, purple. lavender, and all pinks
approaching violet.
For a lady with black hair, blue or black
eyes, pale skin, adopt yellow amber, pale
pink, blue gray. black, white, light or dark
blue and light or dark red. Avoid pale
green's. For chestnut hair, hazel eyes and
pale skin, choose olive green, purple, pale
yellow, hight or dark blue, black, old gold,
cream white. and any %eyasiye pale shade.
Avoid blue white, medium blue, red and

The XRlun of Lime WaIer.

The value Of lime water about the
house in the umEer can scarcely be
overestimated. To prepare it is an easy
matter, as all that is necessary is to put
a layer of unslaked lime in a wide
mouthed jar and ill it with cold water.
There is no danger Of using too much
lime, as the water will only take up SO
much, however much is put in. 1t
takes only a few hours for the water to
take up all the lime that is possible.
After it has stood say five hours the wa
ter may be drained off and more wa
ter added until the lime is all absorbed.
Acidity Of the stomach is corrected by
adding Il little lime water to the drink
ing water. A teaspoonful of lime water
added to a glass of milk corrects the
tendency which milk has to coagulate
in the stomach, forming a hard, indi-
gestible mass. For this reason it should
be added to the milk fed the little
children, and nursing bottles should be
rinsed with it. As a mild disinfectant
there is nothing safer or better.

Persian

The swords of Hindostan are of end
less variety in size and shape, the most
common being the ''tegha" and "tal-
war" broad, much curved blades, wrong
ly styled scimitars, the real scimitar
being a clumsy chopperlike weapon,
nearly straight and widening to the
point. There is the "khanda," a heavy
straight sword with basket hilt, like the
Scottish claymore. The khanda was an
object of worship to the Rajputs, pre-
cisely as to the Scythians. The ''pata,"
or gauntlet sword, much used by the
Mahrattas, was a development of the
''katar," having a long rapier blade,
often of Spanish make, and a cylindrical
hilt, into which the arm was passed to
the elbow. The Persian sword, how
ever, was valued above all others, and
particularly those of Khorassan.
These are the real Damascus blades
the damascening being produced by the
disqualification of the steel. Connois-
u recognize ten different varieties of
watering or "%jauhar;" and the most in
credible prices have been given for
fancy specimens. But the great brittle
ness Of these swords makes them unfit
for use by Europeans, who A-ould shiver
them to pieces by a "swashing blow"
