EXPLORERS IN THE PACIFIC.
Spaniali Ship* Crnlaol Tor Years I'.ut
Discovered Nothing,
The first European explorer who
looked down upon the broad waters of
the Pacific saw them stretched away
calm and unruffled into the apparently
endless distance of the south, and it
•was from this circumstance that the
greatest of the oceans got the two
names by which it has ever since been,
known, of the Pacific and the South
sea. We can fancy what visions of
wonders hidden behind that vale of sea
mist must have floated before the im
agination of Balboa on that peak in
Darien when he fell upon his knees and
thanked God that it had fallen to his
lot to make the great discovery. It is
easy to suppose that his imagination
pictured new continents rising out of
the vast expanse of ocean containing
empires greater than Cortez found in
Mexico and treasures more rich thani
were ever dreamed of by the Incas of
Peru and whatever these might be they
were all the inheritance of Spain. But
whatever those dreani3 may have been,
It is certain they were doomed to dis
appointment. In the first century that
followed the discovery of the greafi
ocean indeed, a good many of the ad
venturous ships of Spain sailed the
waters of the South sea, but their ef
forts ended in failure for the most part;
the reports they brought back from
their voyages were for the most part
of sea—nothing but sea. One or two,
indeed, discovered and landed upon
islands, but not one ever reached the
shores of the only continent that lay
hidden in the unknown waters of the
South sea.
It is easy to understand their experi
ence when we look at a map of thai
part of the world, for we shall lind
that a line drawn around the pole 10
degrees south of the equator would pass
through more than 20,000 miles of
ocean and less than 4,000 of land.
South of this line the only large pieces
of land are the south point of Africa
and the narrowest part of South Amer
ica and the Island continent of Austral
la. Except the island of Madagascar,
there is no land of any considerable
extent In all the great expanse of the
Indian ocean, and the still more vast
extent of the south Pacific is only dot
ted here and there by groups of beau
tiful but widely scattered islands, love
ly in form and lavishly endowed with
a marvelous variety of natural produc
tions, but so diminutive in size that
they must be sought with all the ad
vantages of modern science in the vast
wilderness of ocean by which they are
•urrouiided.—Harper's Ilound Table.

Potatoes, native to Peru, were dis
covered by the Spaniards in the neigh
borhood of Quito, where they were cul
tivated by the natives. Condor a
monk, first introduced them into Spain,
whence they passed into Italy and
thence to Belgium. Humboldt says
that they were cultivated in all the,
parts of the continent, from Chili to
New Grenada, but not in Mexico. In
1585 potatoes were taken from North
Carolina and Virginia, on th e return of
the colonists sent out by Sir Walter
Baleigh. and were first cultivated on
his estate near Cork. The sweet pota
toes, natives of the West Indies, were
given to Columbus by the natives or
Cuba, tney were introduced into Eng
land by Sir Francis Drake, who wrote
of tbern in praise, but forgot to send
Instruction to eat only the root. The
gardener of Queen Elizabeth planted
them, and ate some of the tops. Being
disgusted by the taste, he pulled up his
crop, made a fire of the pile, was at
tracted by the pleasant odor of the
burning tubers, picked up a root, ate it,
and, being pleased with the taste, con
tinued the cultivation and introduced
then to the notice of others. —Lippin-

Uo Prefer* the Olit Version.
A story is told of Mr. Gladstone and
a prominent government official, who
at one time was the ex-primier's priv
ate secretary. They were discussing
the revised version of the New Testa
ment, and the official expressed a
strong opinion that the new rendcr'rg
was inferior to the old. "Indeed." said
Mr. Gladstone, "do you really think so?
Can you give me an example?"
"I certainly can." the official an
gwered. "Look at the first verse t.f iiu
second chapter of St. Luke. In the old
version it ran thus: "There went out a
decree from Ccasar Augustus that all
the world should be taxed.' That, now,
was a magniflcient idea worthy' of a
great ecpire—taxing the whole world
by a single act. But in the revised
version I find: 'There went out a de
cree that all the world should be en
rolled'—a mere taking of the census,
the kind of a thing the local govern
ment board could do. Can anyone doubt
that the old version is finer than the
new?" —Golden Penny. ,
Quite i* Difference.
The great fire in 1872 in Boston)
burned over sixty acres, and entailed
a loss of sixty million dollars, or a mil
lion an acre. The great fire in London
in 1666 swept over four hundred and
thirty-six acres, and destroyed property,
to the amount of thirty-five million dol
lars, or eighty thousand dollars an.
acre. In the latter case the fire raged
in the dwelling section as well as the*
mercantile, still the comparison affords
an idea of the increase in values in
i modern cities. A fire covering the
came territory in Boston to-day as was
burned twenty-five years ago. would
cost one hundred million dollars at the
minimum. On the two and one-half
acres burned over in April, 1893, the
lose was three million five hundred
thousand dollars.

ECHO OF THE PASSION PLAY
Wonilerfnl Realism of James O' Nelli's
Make Up.
"Fifteen years ago," said an old
Cleveland playgoer, "James O'Neill and
William Seymour were both members
of the famous stock organization at
Baldwin's theatre, San Francisco. It
was during the third year of Mr. O'-
Neill's stay a 6 leading man at the Bald
win that he appeared as Christ in Salmi
Morse's "Possion Play." Seymour who
played the part of the 'inspired mes
senger,' talked the other day about tho
performance, which was the only time
the Oberammergau spectale was imi
tated in this country. He said:
" 'Tom Maguire was manager at tho
Baldwin at the time and requested
O'Neill to play the part of Christ. At
first O'Neill refused, although, accord
ing to the terms of the contract, he was
compelled to play any part assigned
him by tho management. O'Neill heard,
however, that Salmi Morse's play had
been approved by Bishop Allemani of
the Catholic church of California, and
then consenteS lo impersonate the
character. O'Neill was known among
the membecs of the company as a good
fellow and one willing to "take and:
give" in the war of jests and jokes.
On the evening of the first performance
of the "Passion Play" I approached
O'Neill as he came out of his dressing
room for the first act to crack a joke
with him. The joke died on my lips
I thought I stood in the presence of our
Savior, so perfect was O'Neill's make
up. Everybody, even the rough stage
hands, passed him in silence, paying a
forced tribute to the holiness of his ap
pearance. Really, to O'Neill, that per
formance was not acting, it was devo
tion. He spoke the lines with all due
reverence to their sacred meaning, and
the whole performance was in the na
ture of a great bibical lesson. Rough
miners in the audience were seen to fall
on their knees and pray, while tho
women were unable to restrain their
tears. It was surely the most impres
sive stage representation I ever too-k
part in or witnessed. On the day after
the tenth performance the whole com
pany was arrested and brought before
a magistrate. O'Neill was fined SSO,
while the 12 apostles were fined only $5
apiece, that being in the mind of the
magistrate, the difference between
Christ and his diciples. After the play
was taken off in San Francisco, Mr.
Stetson decided to produce it in New
York at Booth's theatre. But the senti
ment of the pulpit and pres3 were
against it, and the production was
abandoned. After the production in
San Francisco, O'Neill exchanged pic
tures with Mayer, the German actor
who played the part in Oberammergau,
and it was hardly possible to tell who
was O'Neill and who was Mayer, so
much did both resemble the picture
with which w e are all familiar. The
only authentic picture of the whole
performance is, I believe, the oil paint
ing owned l>y Mr. O'Neill, which rep
resents himself and the company in the
scene of the Lord's Supper.' "—Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
Angers Are Not Horses.
Everybody knew Mr. Hastings, Just
as everybody knew Mr. Smith, but the
two men were of different report. Mr.
Smith was known for the hand that
helps and the word that cheers as no
other man in the neighborhood; while
for crabbed ill nature and closeness
that rivalled the clinging of the bark
unto the tree, Mr. Hastings bore the
palm. In fact, the only neighbor he
had anything to do with was Mr.
Smith; but then Mr. Smith would have
been on friendly terms with any son of
Xantlppe who had happened to live
next door.
It chanced one day that Mr. Smith
needed a certain kind of auger that he
didn't have. He knew, however, that
Neighbor Hastings had the very thing
he wanted, so he went over and asked
to borrow it.
Now, it was a new auger and was
carefully cherished in a buckskin bag
in the most secret compartment of Mr.
Hastings's tool chest, and to consign'
that glittering sharpness even to the.
careful hand of his best beloved neigh
bor was more than he could do. He
wouldn't lend it.
Mr. Smith went home with a twinkle
in his eye and no malice in his soul and
waited.
A few days later Mr. Hastings had
occasion to go to a town ten miles
away, and the matter was urgent. Hie
old mare had gone lamo, so he went to
his accommodating neighbor in his dif
ficulty.
"A horse you want?" said Mr. Smith,
while the twinkle in hie eye was
strangely suggestive of the tool of
rankling memory.
"You'd better ride your auger."
But Mr. Hastings got the horse. —

Did you ever realize that rain-clouds
are sometimes quite invisible? When
the sky above is bluest and clearest
great masses of rainy vapor may yet
be passing over. This is proved by the
clouds you may notice round high
peaks in mountainous countries. You
will often on a clear day see the crest
of a lofty mountain enveloped in a
mist like the smoke of a volcano.
The fact of the matter is that the
rain-cloud is invisible until it is cooled
beyond a certain point. It is not until
it strikes the cold rocks or snows of
the mountain that It is chilled suffic
iently to make It visible. Thus, moun
tain peaks are the best kind of barom
eters, for they announce to the dwell
ers in the valleys beneath when the
atmosphere is getting saturated and
rain may be expected.—Answers.
Poor Utile Town.
Some people are as modest about
their place of abode as others are vain
of theirs.
An Irishwoman from the country was
wandering about in a lost way In a
great railway station; presently she
ventured to approach a gentlemap and
to say to him:
"Ah now, Borr—would ye have the
ocodnese to tell me which is me train?"
"But where are you going ma'am?"
the man asked.
"An" sure, now, why should I be tell-
In' ye tjiat, sorr? Sure ye wouldn't
know no betther where I'm goin'—the
poor little bit of a town that It Is, sorr,

Somo Clever Answer* to OtTenslvo Ito
murka.
Clever answers to offensive questions
or remarks stand in a category of their
own. It is by no means so easy as
some imag.ne to reply to an Insulting
rpeech in such a manner on the spur
of the moment so as to carry off the
honors of war. But there are some
on record which, old as they arc, have
not been surpassed, and may bear rep
etition in any age which has an enor
mous number of merely "up-to-date"
readers. Such is the rejoinders of the
Swiss guard to the Frenchman who
sneerir.gly remarked that the French
fought for honor, the Swiss for gold.
"Yes; eactv nation lights for what it
most needs." Such was that of the
wayfarer in the London streets of the
early part cf the last century, when
paving stones were unknown and
llithy kennels marked the limit between
path and roadway, who met a bully
hand on sword hilt and swaggeringly
declaring that he never gave the walk
to a blackguard, whereupon the oth
er, with a bow, stepped into the road
way, pleasantly remarking: "1 always
do." And the pert young coxcomb who
eaid to the silent saturnine Swift: "I
would have you know Mr. Dean, that I
sit upon for a wit," must have been
sorry he spoke when the answer came
like a rapier thrust: "Do you, sir?
Then I advise you to sit down again."
As may be supposed, the most difficult
answer of all to achieve to perfection
is that made to monarchs, especially
when the royal question or remark has
been a disagreeable one. The physician
Zimmerman scored in this respect with,
Frederick the Great, who remarked
sourly to him. "Zimmerman, I suppose
you have in your time helped many a
man into the other world!" Zimmer
man turned with a quick retort, "Not
so many as your majesty," The king
stared at this freedom, "nor with so
much honor to myself," neatly contin
ued the bowing physician.
"Now, young man," said the irate
landowner to an officer from the neigh
boring garrison, whom he met stroll
ing over his manor, and knocking over
n the dost accurate right and left
fashion whatever he came across, "if
you met a man trespassing on your
property, and killing your game, what
would you do with him?" and evident
ly thought this wa3 a poser. "I should
ask.him to luncheon," airily replied the
unabashed young man, and his splendid
impudence succeeded. Dr. Parr is cred
ited with having answered a similarly
"cheeky" youth i:i most effective fash
ton. The latter wishing to "take a rise '
out of Parr, who was a man of much
dignity of aspect before some frivolous
acquaintances, observed that if the
doctor and himself were to collaborate
they could write a very big book. "An
enormous one," said Parr dryly, "if we
put in all that I know and all that you
do not ."—London Standard.
A Fortunate Accident.
"Col. Boleybug Is one of the luckiest
men I know. He was in a railroad ac
cident last week and had the good
fortune to lose his right arm," said
Uilhooly to Pete Amsterdam.
"Do you call it good luck for a man
to lose his right arm?" asked Pete.
, "Yes, Boleybug is left-handed."

A Civilized Country was appealed to
for Assistance by an Armenian, who
was about to meet Death at the Hands
of a Savage and Mohammedan Turk.
'You are indeed Unfortunate," said the
Civilized Country, "and it makes my
Blood Boil to think that you should
have to be slaughtered by a Savage and
a Mohammedan. I am thinking of
sending Gunboats to your Relief, or, at
the very least, a Missionary." Within
the Hour the Civilized Country was ap
pealed to for Assistance by a Cuban,
who was about to be slaughtered by a
Savage Christian Spaniard. "I cannot
help you," said the Civilized Country,
"and your Plight is not so Desperate,
after all, as you are about to have the
Pleasure of being exterminated by a
Co-religionist."
Moral: It hurts less to be murdered
by a Christian than by a Mohammedan.

A Puzz.lor.
A little boy read in a Sunday school
paper the story of a missionary hav
ing been eaten by cannibals. "Papa,"
he asked, "will the missionary go to
heaven?"
"Yes, My son," replied th e father.
"And"ill the cannibals go there,
too?" qyeried the youthful student.
"No," was the reply.
After thinking the matter over for
come time the little fellow exclaimed:
"Well, I don't see how the missionary
can go to heaven if the cannibals don't,
when he's inside the cannibals."—Troy

One Corporation Allowed to Go $6,500,-
000 Short on a Debt to the Govern
ment-
The administration's dealing with
the Kansas Pacific, having agreed to
settle a thirteen million debt for half
that sum, is regarded as a great vic
tory for the jobbers and the corpora
tion. At the last moment, after hav
ing stood out for full payment, the
attorney general telegraphed from
Washington to accept the half-pay
proposition. The effect of this is
seen in the advance of Kansas Pacific
bonds from below par in ten days to
115. There is prospect of an inter
esting talk over this in Congress dur
ing the week. The close alliance of
McKinley with the corporation inter
est is seen in almost everything that
he does in which government finan
cial interests are involved against
those of the great corporations that
elected him. Gratitude is certainly
one of the major's virtues, but the
people suffer. There has never been
a President in our history who has
made such a bold dash for a renomi
nation by favoring certain great finan

paper discussion as to when the 20th
century will begin. The New York
Sun settles the question with the fol
lowing illustration : "The 20th cen
tury will begin at midnight, December
31, 1900, January 1, 1901. If you
had 2,000 silver dollars to place in
piles containing 100 each, your first

your second pile would begin with 101
and end with 200, and your 20th pile
would begin with 1901 and end with

A Few Useful Hints-
Here are some new things we
ought to . know : That chloride of
lime spread around wherever rats
frequent will abolish them. That a
teaspoonlul of vinegar put into the
water in which tough meat or fowl is
to be boiled will make then tender.
That in cutting warm bread or cake
a warm knife should be used. That |
perfect rest may be had by spreading!,
a small sheet on the floor and lying,
flat down so that every muscle mayf
relax. That by changing your seat}
frequently when sewing you will avouM
extreme weariness. That a damp clotia
will remove dust from furniture fafli
! better than a dry duster. That a solu-ij
I tion of copperas should be irequentlm
poured through all drain pipes.
