Columbus and His Salary.

In the building known as the ''Lonja"
at Seville, Spain, are preserved thu
archives of the Indies-the early Span
ish colonies in America-from the time
of their discovery until few years ago,
writes William E. Curtis in the Chi
cago Record Herald. There is a mass
of papers, books and correspondence
which would fill a train of cars and it
is piled away upon the shelves without
much order or system. A few indolent
clerks are engaged in overhauling, ar
ranging and indeXing the papers and
the Society of the Americanistes hao
been granted permission to publish any
that have an important bearing upon
history. Every little while some inter
esting paper is discovered, copied ana
published in the reports of that society.
The latest discovery is the account
of the payment Of the crews of the
caravels of Columbus upon his first
voyage The Minister of Finance in his
report shows that there were 50 men
under pay. Columbus himself, with the
title of admiral, received a salary or
$500 a year. The captains of the three
ships received respectively SIC, SIS ana
$40 month. The sailors received from
50 to So 40 a MONTH including their SUBJ
sistence and two suits of clothes year.

teeth of a gale until her trysaif parted,
and for thirty-nine hours this boy stood
at the tiller, holding her head close to
the wind. Had the Ultra fallen Off she
would have upset.
Sitting in his cosy home, Ovaett told
the story of his wonderful cruise along
the shore of the north Pacific to Sew
ard, Alaska. After working his way out
into the ocean from Puget Sound, he
took what is known as the inner pas
sage to Alaska. That he was not
wrecked dozen times was due to vigi-
lance and the numerous sheltered
hooks along the irregular passage.
His two weeks provisions were made
to cover a much longer period by the
practice of economy and the addition
of fish and deer meat. Ovaett had no
trouble obtaining plenty of FISH, and
when the meat larder ran low he re-
sorted to the old-fashioned plan of
lacking" for deer. There are many
places along the coast even now where
deer may be killed with comparative
ease. Ovaett had a gun with him and,
owing to the necessity of making each
shot tell, got good results.
The sloop touched at Allard Bay,
from which point Mrs. Ovaett was sent
home by steamer, while Ovaett sailed
home without assistance.

Can Cboose Our Enemies.

An open enemy is better than a Cos
siping friend. The story is told of a
man in public life in Washington who
once found himself surrounded by
host of self-appointed counselors, ron
tinually advising him, ''as friends" of
many astounding things, WHICH val
ued and lifelong intimate, also in pub
lie life, was alleged to be doing against
him, says the Boston Globe. Bitter
ness beset the heart of the man when
he heard that his friend had turned
against him and he grieved.
Strangely enough, the friend was also
grieving, for he had received tales
which filed his heart with doubt of
the loyalty of his lifelong friend 1.-The
dog that will fetch will carry" says
the old proverb; and the friends" who
had told tales to one of these men told
the same sort to the other. They were
politicians, place-seekers, hangers-on,
who for their own ends employed Cos
sip, and malicious gossip at that, to
keep apart these two men.
But the plan did not work. The two
men met, charged each other with cool
ness and finally learned that they had
been the victims of tale-bearers. Then
one Of them said, I'VE can choose our
enemies, but not our friends" and in
saying it he enunciated a truth.

FEW DIE OF OLD AGE.
What Becomes of the Dead in
Nature.

what becomes OF the DEAD IN
Nature.
Any one who has lived much in the
open air must often wonder what be-
comes of all the animals and birds
which die in the woods and fields. Dur
ing the course Of a whole year, the
is extremely small, and yet we know
millions must perish annually. What
becomes of them? Every wild animals
life is simply an everyday fight against
violent death at the hands of some enc
my. By day hawks sail overhead, and
nothing seems to escape their wonder
full eyes. By night owls fly with soft,
muff1ed wings, and velvet-footed ami
mails prowl everywhere. So it is mere
ly question of how long any animal or
bird can delay the inevitable tragic end
which must come to them. To realize
how many small animals prowl through
the woods by night, simply follow the
bank of some small stream, where there
are soft, muddy places; there you will
find the tell-tale tracks in great num-
bers. These tracks tell how well the
whole surrounding country has been
hunted for quarry Of all sorts.
Still, with all this evidence of mental
powers used to foil their enemies of the
woods, people will persist in speaking
Of animal instinct and human reason.
Place man, with all his reasoning pow
er, in the place of some animal or bird,
and would his powers of mind save
him from sudden death? Man is begin
ing to realize more and more fully that
what he has of intellect is only high
er use and cultivation of what all ma
ture possesses.
When an animal or bird becomes sick
or old or infirm, it soon falls a prey to
some Of its enemies. 1t rarely dies a
natural death when in the woods; for
day and night its enemies are constant
ly about. What wild animals feelings
must be, man cannot to-day realize, for
he has gotten too far from his original
savage state.-Louisville Evening Post.

Clear the Tenements of Vice.

Speaking to the theme "a Better
New York." w. H. Baldwin, Jr., chair
man of the committee of fifteen, said
that the keynote of civic purity is the
purity Of family life. ''In New York, ;"
he continued, there are $4,000 tene-
ment houses and 100000 people who
live under laws governing tenement
houses. Proper laws governing tene-
ments are most important. So long as
these evils exist and you and 1 don't
move to help them we cannot expect a
holy city. Let us demand that there
shall be no form of vice in these
houses. That is not politics. We are
not interested so much in the older per-
sons in the houses as we are in the
children. 1t is our imperative duty to
see that laws shall be enacted that will
stamp out the tenement house evils

One of the Queer Sight. Of nrool,,.,

.
Speaking of queer things that hap
pen in Brooklyn" said a member OF the
finance department, "a few nights ago
l was going out on a late train on the
Fifth avenue elevated road. There
were few passengers in the car. Sit
ting opposite Inc was a dPmure looking
Brooklynite with large bundle under
each arm. The bundles were closely
wrapped with newspapers.
Suddenly violent internal move
ment agitated the bundle under the
mans left arm, and a moment later the
head of a large game rooster broke
through the paper. AS soon as the roost-
er's head was clear he crowed loud
and detiantly- Then the bundle under
the other arm heaved and struggled,
another beak and comb appeared, and
the crow of defiance was promptly an
swered by one of challenge
Then for five minutes those two
ROSTERS crowed at 80 seconds inter
vais, while their owner struggled des-
perately to get them back into the
wrappings where he had thought them
eHectually concealed. He Indignantly

GHOST DRIVES SERVANTS AWAY
PATERSON Has Empty Building as Re-
suit of Superstition.

Paterson Has Empty Building as Re-
suit of Superstition.
Paterson, n. J., has a ghost that is
playing pranks in brick tenement on
Brook street, and as a consequence the
building is vacant All the tenents
have moved out because they say tho
house is haunted by the ghost Of Pietro
Pasquillo, who was murdered there
Easter Sunday evening last. The ghost
made his appearance two weeks ago.
One night Mrs. Pasquillo, the widow of
the murdered man, ran screaming into
the rooms of a neighbor saying that
she had just seen her husband. Two
night later all the faucets in the tene-
ment were found to be open and run
ming at o'clock. This occurred again
the next night and the tenants began
to tremble with fright and say that
perhaps Mrs. Pasquillo had really seen
ghost. 1t was impossible, it was
said, for anyone person to get into all
the rooms in the tenement to turn on
the faucets at that time in the even
ing. Two men living in the house saw
a ghostly form fitting about the hall
ways of the house one evening. They
tried to locate it, but failed. Within
a week several of the families moved
out of the house. Then their rooms
were Illuminated in the evenings. The
rooms were locked and empty. This
was proof positive that the ghost of
the murdered man was haunting the
place, and all the remaining tenants got
other apartments in hurry. The ten
ement is empty and the signs ITO Lett
are on every door. 1t is said among
the Italians that the murdered man
wants to wash away the blood spilled
by his family, and that is the reason
the faucets are turned on every even
ing. Others say he has returned for re-
venge, but the only revenge he has got
so far is on the landlord.

The Rabbit Fired the Gun.

"Brer Rabbit has been outdone in
real life, and a West Virginia rabbit
family has a hero. The incident oc-
Cured in this wise. according to the
Chicago Tribune:
Peter Frees and his son Louis went
out rabbit-hunting in the woods near
Parkersburg, West Virginia. Their
dog soon chased a cottontail into a pile
of brush, and Louis rushed up to get
him out. He put his gun on the ground,
and taking up a long pole, began to
punish in the brush-pile to dislodge the
rabbit.
Finally bunny ran out in an unex-
pected place, straight over the gun,
which was cooked. His hind foot
struck the trigger, sending the charge
of shot into Louis leg, and some of it
into the dog. The boy yelled, the dog
howled, and in the midst of the excite
ment bunny got away.
