Mystery and secrecy surround the
exhumation in Havana, Cuba. OF the
remains of Columbus, and this fact
has given rise to grave rumors, when
appear to have some foundation, as.
there has been no attempt at denial
from any source. The removal 1.-THE
remains was effected behind the closed
doors Of the Cathedral, which were
guarded by an armed forced. Few Of;
the authorities were present, the
names of those who were to attend be-

but it has leaked out from en- authors
tative source that they are not i1the the
SAME condition as when they were
placed in the niche.'
When the remains were placed IN
the mausoleum small casket was en-. q
closed, containing coins, gold and.
silver medals, precious stones and
rolls of parchment, as was then ths8
custom upon the occasion Of burials
It appears that this casket hadsbeen
tampered with and ri1ed of its com

only portions Of the remains, are left:
Gossip and speculation are rife, the
exact truth of which the authorities
make no effort to affirm or contradic$

As the Uptons were in that condi-
ton of responsibility and limited
means which involves much sacrifice
Of comfort to appearances, Lefty Up
Ton had resolved to do something that
wotild add to the family income and
bring to her the satisfaction of being
self-supporting:
Miss Upton was d trim; bright little
body y.of 20 years; pretty; in fresh,
winning way; and naturally vivaclous
and engaging: It had seemed to her
that this personal equipment was, s
qualification for newspaper work: She
had not the training necessary to Sc
cure n teachers position; the drudgery
of typewriting was uncongenial, aud
to go into shop as a saleswoman
was only to be thought of as a last-re-
sort. :.
Lefty had seen in the Sunday pa
pers long accounts of very wonderful
experiences to which were affixed the
names, real or assumed, of women
writer's. She thought she; might be-
come, in time, writer of such signed
articles and obtain high pay for them.
Could she not write rs we'll as those
women? From the ''stories" in the
papers things seemed to come their
way easily enough. 5-sz
Like many reader of such stories"
Lefty did not stop to reflect on the
labor and. time expe lded on them, nor
did she know anything of the trials
and disheartening rebufs which have
been encountered in working them
up."
She was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain, through the influence OF friend
Of her father, position on the staff of
writer's for the Sunday edition of the
Daily Investigator, one of the promi-
hents New York pdpers:
The quarters of these writer's seemed
to Lefty smaller and more ''cluttered
up" than she had expected. There
were three or four small rooms with
roll-top desks in them and one or two
chairs. The editor of the "Woman's
Page" had her Office in one of these
rooms. She was woman of about

features. Her glance was keen, her
manner of speaking brief and to the

POliteneSS and Good.

! Emmciinc Raymond, in La Monde Illustree
Politeness" and good bre eding"
are too often and quite erroneousIv
considered synonyms. Politeness takes
its rise from the soul, and from educa-
ton and examples. Gentility, or good
breeding, is acquired by habit and es-
pecially by imitation.
One can be very polite, willie failing
to observe some of the laws of the code
Of good breeding; and one can know
and apply all these laws, without being
at all polite. 1t is hardly necessary to
point out how superior is politeness to
good breeding, while adding that their
union is preferable TO their separation.
One can observe very exactly the pre-.
scriptions of gentilitv, send or return
cards when circumstances require: pay
visits after proper intervals; salute with
grace: fail i'll no duty of society, social
led; in a word. be irreproachable in
every conventional duty, and neverthe-
less not be polite in the true sense of the
word. The rules of good breeding con-
stItute sort o. dictionary, whose text
one can know or consult, but which does
not teach poiiteness.
The natures which are born with this
necessity OF politeness are polite, not
because the world expects a formal po-
/ lIteness, but because they would suffer if
they did not avoid every cause of pain
ing others.
10 act always with a politeness which
extends below the surface, and thrusts
| It's roots INTO the heart, and makes part
OF the feelings, one must determine not
to refer everything to himself, not to
accept the GOODNESS Of others without
rendering an equivalent; lie must not
consider that all things in society exist
merely to secure his own personal adj
vantage. We must, 70 speak it plainly,
penetrate to the thought that this ego
! usm Il Il bad sediment when it seeks 10
satisfy self at the expense of others.
1t Is notifying enough to be obliged
to declare that everywhere among GER
tain classes Of the Young people Of both
sexes. confusion exists between good
breeding and polltencss. One will sa-
lutte correctly, ana the Young misses
viii make courtesy, because they have
had dancing master. OF poiiteness-
that politeness which makes certain lit
lie sacrliiccs-I fear they care little. 70
be seated Ill an armchair, and to give it
up to an aged lady, or to refrain from
laughing at anything ridiculous in per-
sons about them, would, in their view,
be needless.
Let me add that the responsibility
Tor these serious faults, " hich only come
from dryness of the heart, is not to be
entirely imputed to minors themselves.
The parents Of Young girls and young
gentlemen heap upon them cares, at
tentlOns and consideration even: but,
for fear Of crossing them, they have not
provoked IN them feeling of respon-
slyeness. To exact anything from these
adored crcatures-thatw would be mon
strous. No;they must enjoy hamselves;
let us not impose on them the least sac
rliice for others.
Happily, there are exceptions. There
are mothers who have known how to
muse into their children generous sen
tlments, manifcsting themselves bv a
constant ard universal polIttness.

more than couuterbalanced by the in
crease in American prestige and com
merce. Considered in more than one
light, this has been an epoch making
year for America.
Of the other nations, with the excep-
ton of England. it cannot be said that
they have accom- plished anything out
of the ordinary. France has been dis
turbed by dissensions in the army. and
the Fashoda question, but nothing seri-
Gus has happened. Germany has pur-
sued the even tenor of its ways, the
only incident to mark the year being
the Emperor's visit to Jerusalem
Russia las expanded somewhat, and
China has suffered to that extent. The
Cars peace propcsel is also worthy of
mention. The year will be memorable
to Austilans because OF the assassina-
ton Of the Empress Elizabeth. Spain
has been a heavy loser during the year,
having lost her most valuable posses
slons, and Its credit-not yerv good at
any time-suffered. Turkey is in the
same place, and China has been forced
to grant concessions to England, Ger
many, France and Russia, and gives
evidence of approaching dissolution.
Japan has continued ID its onward,
march. and Italy and Greece are still
Of. the map of Europe.
England has. like ourselves, been DO
ing good work for humanity, at great
sacrifice. She has carried civilization
into the heart Of Africa, AMI met and
broken the power Of the Madi. She
has shown her old yigor in every way,
and bids fair to keep on adding to her
already colossal prestige. but per
haps the sympathy shown this country
during the late war with Spain Will tend
more than anything else to make the
year memorable. showing, as it did,
that though there were differences in
the past. and there are some differences
now, the time has come when, for the
Interests of the two nations, nay, more.
the interest Of the world, demand that
TIE mistress Of nations and her mighty
offspring should let the dead past bury
it, dead. This, we think, is the wish.
the hope, of all those who believe in
peace and good will among nations and
men. May their hopes be realized.
Eut what of the new made graves.
where sleeps the warrior with his flag
around him, where sleeps the wise and
great, the rich and the poor, the proud
and the lowly, the young and the old,
the babe and the patriarch , They are
our treasures. Scatter flowers upon
them.
Yea, the old year is dying, slowly liz
sands of life are dropping into the ocean
of the dead past. In fancy we hear the
mournful toiling Of the bells as they
usher it out. For the JOYS it brought us,
we are thankful; for its troubles and
ness, and, after all, what is life but a
SprinkIing Of both.
But, truce to sad thoughts Ring
out the old year; ring in the new, and
may it deal kindly with us all.

DaWnIngs OF Genius.

Giotto, or, to give his full name. AM
bro Giotto di Bodone, was one of the
most famous painters of the middle
! ages. The products of his genius are to
be seen to-day in Rome, Padua, Flor
ence and other cities of Italy. At ten
or twelve years of age he was keeping
his fathers sheep at his native Vespig-
nano, about fourteen miles from Flor
ence, when the great painter Ciamabue
CHANGED TO pass. CiamDue came upon
Glotto when the boy was occupied in
drawing a sheep from life, for canvas
using smooth rock, and for pencil a
sharp pointed stone. Struck with the
! character in the drawing, the artist not
only commended it. but pressed the
boy to go home with him, to which the
father joyiul!y assented. Nature was
Glotto's great model, and the story is
that he painted fly on the nose of one
of Cimabue's pictures, Which the mas
! ter attempted 20 brush off 1t vas this
shepherd boy that painted the "Loayes
and Fishes" and designed the Campo
nile at Milan.
