FIRST AMERICAN CATHEDRAL

We are rapidly getting acquainted! nowadays with
lot Of American pioneers formerly overlooked dis
regarded The latest revelation brings truly remark
able of one of the famous old Morse explorers
Eric the Red
1t was long known that Eric had headed colony
of Norsenen who settled III Greenland and had eXplOr
ed large part of the Atlantic coast but the extent of
the Greenland settlement not realized. Dr. Noer-
land who has been conducting archaeological researches
in that forbiddng northern land has returned to Cop
enhagan with account Of regular city built by
those old Norsemen at Ivigo. He has discovered the
foundation of large cathedral and many other build
ings, among them bishops palace of red sandstone
that is said to have covered five and half acres.
Think Of Christian cathedral in America in the
twelfth century. We shall have to revise of
historical ideas and give due credit to pioneers far earl
Ter and more daring than New England and

Natures Lapfsh Gifts
to Leff-4cnded Folks

If you had lived at any time In the
period 25OO B. C. to A. D. 1900, and
had been left-handed, you would have
been regarded as one highly favored
by the gods and far superior to ordi-
nary folk. If, of your own initiative,
you had not seized on power, it would
have been placed in your hands. But
in all probability that would have been
unnecessary, for all down the ages the
left -handed have gone ahead and made
a success of life. They've something
that the right-handed haven't The
leading Pharoahs were left-handed; so
were the Caesars; so also Alexander
the Great and Charlemagne.
Whether Nature compensates the
left-handed by endowing them with
special talents is matter Of specula-
ton. The fact, however, remains that
the left-handed are, in brain power,
far superior to the right-handed. A
schoolteacher, through whose hands
thousands Of boys have passed, Is en-
phatic on that point. No left-handed
boy Is, or could be, fool is his die
tum.

Of "cadency" indicate the various

Modest Philonthropist

A philanthropist, feeling that his end
was approaching and not desiring any
publicity for his kind acts, advertised
in the newspapers and offered prize
for the best hint Of how to dispose Of
his property. Many replies were re-
ceived, some sound and sensible, and
others wildly fantastic. Finally one
came which suggested that he establish
a fund to supply ice to dumb parrots.
This delighted the philanthropist so
that he lay back and laughed heartily,
ne caught his breath with difficulty and
laughed again. In the midst Of his
lnirth he burst blood vessel and
passed away, leaving his fortune to his
heirs and nothing for the poor dumb
parrots.-Kansas City Times.

mot so very. Probably when built
in the Thirteenth century it was some
wealthy mans home. In the Sixteenth
century, about the time Albrecht Dur

centuries. No. as an inn 1 wouldn't
