New York.-The FIRST handkerchief,
used originally In Persia, was q small
square of silk, the principal use Of
which was to wipe the moisture from
the brow. From Persia 1t passed TO
Greece and then by the way Of Rome
spread slowly throughout Europe.
1t was for centuries affected only by
people of wealth and was used for
many purposes-ornament, as carrier
OF strong scents, as favor to be worn
by gallant In his hat.
It was the odious habit Of snuff TAX

chief into common use, which In

to which handkerchiefs have been put

they were employed during the reign
OF Queen Anne to carry the text OF
her ma1esty's speech to parliament, on
April 8, ITO, which was printed upon
their surface, into the homes of many
who would otherwise have remained in
blissful ignorance. In like manner
were circulated the announcements OF
the treaty Of Utrecht and Of Marlbor'

~ America, which for two or three
centuries has been the Mecca of those
OF the old countries Of Europe seek
ing an easier means to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness. This
discovery was made more than 400
years ago, but II was not until a com
paratively recent time that steps We're
taken to honor the work of the man
whose faith in his theory Of the shape
of the earth never faltered, and
whose persistent efforts under the
most discOuraging circumstances
finally found their reward in the es-
tablishment Of the truth of his ideas
and In the discovery of a land which
has been the asylum Of the perse-
cuted and down-trodden of other
ands.
OF Humble Percentage.
Born of humble parents, in the city
Of Genoa, in 1896, Columbus at an
Early age was sent to the University
Of Pavia, where he devoted himself
to the study Of mathematical and nat
ural sciences. He also received in
structions in nautical astronomy from
the then famous Antonio da Terzago.
He left the University at the age Of
fifteen and for a year worked with
his father at the trade OF the latter,
that OF wool combing. During the
year he was restless, for he had de-
termined to become a sailor. and at
the expiration of that time, much
against the wishes Of his father, he
voyaged to Iceland-knoWn at that
time as Ultima Thule. Later he sailed
to the Guinea coast and the Greek
Isles, and at the end of the voyage
was commended by the captain for
his excellence in seamanship.
During his spare moments at sea
young Columbus spent his time ir
study, for he had long ago determined
to be something" on the water, ant
he soon mastered the art of drawing
charts and constructing spheres, thus
fitting himself for the profession 0,
practical seaman and navigator. He
also read the works of Ptolemy, o.
Fliny, the cosmographer, Of Cardina
Aliaco, the travels of Marco Polo
and Manderville. He became a stu
dent of Greek and Latin poets anC
was NeTStu III the pptllN VI NV IL
brew Scriptures. In fact, Columbus
became a man of letters of the high
,st type.
Marries Fellpa Morriz.
He married Felipa Morriz de Peres

leator, one Of the early colonists, anC
the first governor Of Porto Santo, al
ISLAND off Madeira Columbus and hi
bride spent their honeymoon on tn
ISLAND of MADEIRA.
He very soon conceived the idei
that much of the world remained un
discovered, and he began his plan
for reaching Asia by sailing west
The voyage taken many years late
which finally ended in the discover
Of America. Four years after thi
he laid his plans before the learne'
DIR. Tasconelli of Florence, who CAV
him the greatest announcements. The
he began to hear of sailors who sale
to the west finding floating In tn
waters strangely carved wood an
other queer objects of which the Por
tuguese knew little.
