HOW COLUMBUS REACHED LAND.

A Flight Of Birds Changed the History Of
America.
When Columbus sailed westward over
the unknown Atlantic, he expected to
reach Zipangu (Japan). After several
days sail from Gomera, one of the
Canary islands, he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, accord.
ing to his reckoning. should have been
218 nautical miles more to the east.
After long discussion he yielded to the
opinion Of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the
commander Of the Pinta, and steered to
the southwest Pinzon was guided in
his opinion BY q fight Of parrots toward
the southwest The effect of this change
in bis course curiously exemplifies the
influence Of small and apparently trivial
events in the worlds history If Colum.

kept his original route he would have
enteied the warm current of the gulf

Hatteras and Virginia. The result

may be said to have determined the first
settlements on the new continent and
its distribution between the Latin and

How to Succeed In Politics,

Always remember that your present
opponent may some day be ON your side.
Therefore do all your vituperating "by
word Of mouth" and never ON paper
Before undertaking an argument always
make the strongest argument you pos
sibly can on the other side-in your
mind-and be prepared to meet It. Re-
member that the current of opinion is
nearly always determined by very few
men, possibly not more than dozen in
each precinct or township. Get them,
and you have got the community. But
If you are smart enough to pick the
right men you are too smart to need
this advice.

proved that it is possible not only to
take away the natural odor of a flower,
but also to make it yield a perfume

are perfect in form and coloring, but
without fragrance, while others, very
insignificant to look at, emit q deli

SUM ER.

And now size alights on the earth
To play witt her children, the flowers !;
She touches the stems, and the buds have
birth,
And gently she trains them in bowers.
And the bees aad the birds are glad,
And the wind catches warmth FROM her
breath,
And around her is nothing sad
Nor any traces of death.
See how she lays her down
With roses for her crown,
With iessamine and myrtle
Forming her fragrant kirtle.
Conquered by softest slumbers,
Nc more the hours she numbers
The hours that intervene
Ere she may wing her flight
Ear from this smiling scene
With all her love and light,
And leave the flowers and the summer bow
And must they wither then?
Their life and their perfume
Sinking SO soon again
Into their earthly tomb.
Let US bind her as she l:.s
Ere the fleeting moment flies,
Hand and foot and arm and bosom.

Irvine red roses round her hands
Round her feet twine myrtle bands.
Heap up flowers, higher. higher
Tulips like q glowing fire,
Clematis of milky whiteness,
Sweet geraniums, varied brightness,
Honeysuckle, commeline,
Roses, myrtles, jessamine
Heap them higher, bloom on bloom,
Bury her as in a tomb.
But alas they are withered all,
And how can dead flowers bind her?
She pushes away her pail,
And she leaves the dead behind her:
And she flies across the seas,
To gladden. for a time
The blossom and the bees
OF some far-distant cline.

Foes of DIR. Robert Koch have q
chance to crow over him. Reports
from Cape Town say the local author
tiles consider his attempt to stay the
ravages of the rinderpest a complete
failure. This doesn'tprove much, but
it seems to be a fact that of 60OO cattle
inoculated by the German professors
experts, one-third have died, and that
the scourge will now be probably
allowed to sweep the country, as all
repressive measures are left to local
initiative under Government super

Corn Bread.

The corn breads throughout the
South are delicious, no matter whether
they are made with eggs, milk and bak-
ing powder Or are the plain mixture of
meal, water and salt which form the
hoe cake and corn dodgers. They are
a revelation to the Northerner. First
Of all, the Southerners never use the
yellow corn meal which is always used
in the North. They use the white
orr meal made. from the southern
corn. It is ground by a different proc
ess from the meal of the North and is
far better. Then again no southerner
ever puts molasses or sugar in corr
bread. The further South you go the
less milk, eggs and baking powder are
used in ORR bread. Corn dodgers are
made into little pats and baked either
in the hot ashes or on a board in front

Portable HouSaS.

Among the Injuries of these days
are portable houses. If you want to
carry a comfortable dwelling with you
when you are going to the mountains,
you can get one that will fold up like
all umbrella; it is made of wood and
wire net. For a summer home at the
seashore you a procure a ready
made house in sections, all ready to
be put together. Really handsome
cottages can be purchasd in this way,
and the railroad will deliver the
structure complete in pieces, on the
lot where it is to be put up. Within
a few hours You can move in and be-
gin housekeeping, realizing in actual
fact the story Of Aladdin and his ia
nous palace that grew like a mush-
room in one night.

Walking Upstairs.

In walking upstairs your feetshould
be placed squarely down on the step,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
In this way there is no strain on any
particular muscle, but each is doing its
duty in q natural manner. De not
bend over. In ~exeripn of this kind,
when the heart is naturally excited to
rapid action, it is desirable that
the lungs should have full play. But
the crouching position interferes with
their action, the blood is imperfeetly
aerated and there is trouble right
away. Give the lungs a chance to do
their work everywhere and at all

LABOR FOR RoAD.BUlLDlNc.

"A Plea for Convict Work to Improve
Public Highways.
The abnormal floods along the Mis-
sissippi river have provoked much dis
cussion of ways and means for pre-
venting their future recurrence or for
restraining the swollen stream within
safe limits. Some urge a stronger
and higher system Of levees !; others
the opening Of new, or reopening of
old, channels, through which the river
may be partly or wholly diverted from
its present course /; and others yet
other projects, all, of course, inyolv-
ing the doing of much work and the
spending of much money. The fur
ther suggestion is made, as applicable
for the execution Of any of these
schemes, that the manual labor re-
CURED on the vast job shall be done
by the able-bodied inmates of the pris-
n of the various Interested states.
This suggestion is an eminently prac-
teal one, and it leads to the further
suggestion that just such jobs afford
the best possible field for the employ
