FOUND RELICS
| OF COLUMBUS.
WHILE HUNTING ON AN
ISLAND IN FLORIDA.
LETTER OF INSTRUCTION
From Columbus to VelaSQuez
being among the Articles
Unearthed.

w. &. Zimmerman, archaro
logist with a party of friends ha:
been on a camp hunt i'll San
Carlos Bay Islands, Florida.
On one of these islands the
hunters discoved relics of an ex-
pedition sent out from Cuba by
Christopher Columbus when the
great discoverer was Governor
Of that island. The men found
a low mound, which Zimmerman
insisted on examining.
After a little digging four
complete suits Of armor were
unhearthed and each suit contain
ed a skeleton. Four swords of
Toledo make also found, and a
few blunderbusses of antique
pattern.
Further digging brought to
light two iron boxes. one large
and one small. The large box
was full of Spanish doubloons,
easily worth 5000. In the
small box was found a stirrup OF
solid gold, bearing the name
Sebastian Valasquez, and the
date, 1890; a portrait of q. a.beauti>
full lady, painted on ivory; a cop
per medallion, bearing a raised
figure of Christopher Columbus,
and the date I497, and a small
roll of parchment, covered with
well-preserved writing.
Zimmerman, who is a fine
linguist, examined the parch-
ment and found it was a letter
of instructions from Christopher
Columbus to Sebastian Velas-
quez, who was about to lead an
expedition from Cuba to the
main land oe Florida. The let>
ter is signed by Columbus as
Governor of Cuba.
Zimmerman thinks the Velas>
quez expedition was wrecked
near San Carlos and survivors
took refuge on the island, where
they finally perished. Zimner>
man has the relics with him, and
will dispose of them to the Gov
ernment or some university.

FOUND A NEW PLACE.
THE DOOR MAT WILL NO LONGER
REMAIN THE GUARDIAN FOR
THE KEY

The other day a very estimable
lady came to town to do a little
shopping, says the Atlanta Cons
St1tutl0H.
OF course the key was put un-
der the door mat so that her son,
whom she expected to return
before her, could get in. In her
absence a tramp, who had been
hanging around the place nu1n-
Der of days and had caught on,
boldly went into the house, got
some of the choicest viands out
Of the pantry, put them on the
table and pitched III.
He also found a bottle of vine
that revived his spirits. He did
not expect any one there for a
number of hours and so he took
it easy.
In the meantime the lady Of
the house having finished her
shopping returned home and,
seeing the front door unlocked,
expected to find her son inside.
Imagine her horror when she
opened the~dining room door and
saw sitting at her table the dust
lest looking tramp that ever We'd
with his companions i'll accumu-
lating dirt on his epidern1s.
The lady was dumfounded. In
the silence that followed the
tramp cody remarked: MADAM,
I shall become scarce, now, ez
I've eaten enuff. All kin give
yer back for this good meal and
wat I want ter say ter yer is that
yer ought to find a new hldln
place fer yer key. l won't charge
yer nothin' for this advice.
With that the tramp departed.

Want White House Relics.

The story that the President
and Mrs. Cleveland are engaged
in making general distribution
of their four years accumulation
of articles, valuable and Others
wise, has gene broadcast through
the land, and the White House
clerical force is i'll despair over
the increase in the mail. Some
body started the story that Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland would give
away about 5000 presents that
could not be taken to their new
home at Princeton.-The app1i-
cations for guns used by the Pres
ident during his ducking trips
are numerous. Others are 70 +
baby carriages, suits of the Press
1dent's clothes, gowns worn by
Mrs. Cleveland, cribs used by
the Cleveland children, walking
sticks, old hats, underwear, and
numerous other things. Some
Of the people have written mans
ing no particular article they de-
sire, but requesting that "solne
little present. be sent them.
Their idea seems to be that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland intend
O dispose of all their clothes they
wear. AS a matter of fact. the
idea is entirely erroneous. The
President and Mrs. Cleveland are
probably making few parting
gifts to close friends, but the
distribution does not extend out
side of that small circle.

A Preacher Rides a Rail.
HIS SERMON GAVE OFFENSE TO
CERTAIN YOUNG MEN OF
KANSAS.

The Rev. John Coggswell, a:
itinerant evangelist who holds
meetings in school houses
throughout Oklahoma, preached
a sermon i'll a school house near
Clifton, in Lincoln county, Kan.
In which he made fierce attack
upon dancing, card-playing and
other anusements.
He declared that literary socie-
ties were institutions of the devil
and denounced all who attended
them. He then launched ont in
a TRADE against dancing, and
after exllausting his vocabulary
OF epithets to apply to those who
engaged in such amusements,
reached a climax OF denuncia-
ton by calling all women and
girls who danced "hell cats"
The sermon aroused intense
feeling in the neighborhood, and
the young men resolved to pun
lsh the preacher. Accordingly
a committee Of them took him
out of bed. clad only in his night
clothes, and rode him two miles
on rail. They then gave him
a tongue lashing and told him
they would give him just twenty
four hours to leave the country.
He was informed that if he had
not departed by that time, they
would apply coat of tar AM
feathers. He was in a pitiable
condition from cold and fright,
and the neighbors made up a
small purse for him.

FEATHERS UNHEALTHY

Feather beds, though so COM
Portable, are to many people pos
itively unhealthy. Feathers are
excellent retainers and conduct
ors of heat-so much so that the
body is kept at too high a tens
perature, and chills and colds
ensue on arising.
Beside, feather bed retains
all the noxious vapors thrown
off by the body, and preserves
them to be reabsorbed by the
sleeper each night, often proving
fruitful source of diseases. A
fine, firm straw mattress, or bet
ter still a hair one should be used
whenever possible.
Of paramount importance to-
ward securing peaceful slumber
is the retiring to bed in a happy
frame of mind. Children should
not be punished of scolded just
before retiring. Rather have a
romp or a game, and send them
to bed with dinples in their
cheeks. Likewise, children of
large growth should Danish all
care before retiring.
The whole system will be far
more inyigorated and far better
able to bear mental strain on the
morrow if the mind has been
free from care during the night.
It is sometimes difficult matter
TO accomplished this.-When
any special worry, or household
cares, or business anxletles, or
any sorrow or grief has been with
us during the day, with the pros
mise of still greater troubles on
the morrow, it may seem imposs-
ible to throw off the anxiety and
care, and it will require a very
strong effort of the will to keep
the mind from such troublesome
subjects at night; but with pract~
ice and determination it can be
done, andthe healthful sleep OBJ
tanned in consequence will great
1y Tighten the cares of the follow
ing day.-Pailadelphia Press.

Besides burning corn regularly
for fuel, many persons have tried
the experiment, OF burning oats
and wheat. Both of these grains
are reported as making most ex>
cellent substitutes for wood, the
chief difficulty experienced be-
ing the trouble of putting up the
fuel in small and compact form
convenient for handling and
burning Oat straw or wheat
straw may be bound together III
small bundles or "logs" so as to
last for d considerable time. As
it is now, farmer or individual
III prairie town pays out $50
for fuel in a winter. Most all OF
it goes to railroads or syndlcates
and no one III the vicinity is
profted by it. III all probability
he could have saved $50 by US
ing corn, oats or wheat fuel, or
all three. So he saves by turn
ing his labor into money and
keeping his money at home to
meet other expenses. Though
the raising of his fuel may have
cost him some time, he finds
that he has been the gamer and
the actual cash outlay has been
possibly not to exceed S. in all.
Up to the present time it is
only the farmer and the frugal
Individual who has made study
of fuel economy who are trying
the plan of raising their own
fuel, but experiments prove that
it will be a success. Cheap oil
is about the only thing that
might make competition against
grain, but it is scarcely possible
for oil to ever become cheap ems
ough. The competition will
likely be between grains, and,
of course, the best fuel for the
least money will Win. But it is
now predicted with certainty
that the era of grain fuel is near
OF hand.
