Silver has advanced a penny. If it will do that each day for forty-four days the silver question wli be settled There is no reason wby1N ninld not do that every day for forty aHUrdajs. Had oongress passed the Dill last winter, and had the president signed it, silver would have been advanced ii cents now. J. be seoretdry of tbe treasury would have been under no anxiety. Business would have been back in its normal state. Tbere would have been ample means for investment to be ob tained at fair rates. Prices would have advanced until there would bare been hope in every producer's heart. Where four men are at work now, five men would have been at work. It wonld bave been like finding a new gold field with 81,500,000,000 in it. If we never had had any silver in America, and could, the news be given to our people that away off on tbo co 'St of Africa or Madagascar, even amid tbe frosts of Alaska, a new silver field bas been dis covered, out of wbicb 81,500,000,000 oould. in four or five years, be mined, think what a rush there would be to them. Yet when tbe proposition is made to the governments of the world to reverse their sinister and foolish legislation and to restore silver to its old status, everyone of them up to date, recoiled before tbe proposition, and still, instead of being five or six or eight years working out that field, this legislation would add to the treasure of the world just that much. We mean it would add to the money treasure jtist that much, and on all tbe property in tbe world tbere would be an inorease of 10 per cent. It passetb all understand ing that a nation can be so blind; that the statesmen here, there and every where oannot see at a glanoe what that legislation would be to the world, and it is the more marvelous because the world is now confronted by strikes and apprehension everywhere. Bankers continue to board op tbeir reserves and refuse to acooumodate their clients for fear of an overwhelming panio, and yet, with all this ooDfusion and with the oertain knowledge before them that just an agreement to restore silver to it. old place wonld quiet the wnoie irouDie, iney sun uoiu oaci anu thousands of them seem to think that tbe presence of silver at all in the world is a misfortune.

' They Are Almost as Numerous as th -1 ' Sands by the 8emsbore. The numerous portraits of Columbus, presenting such wide extremes of ap pearance as to seem absurd, yet have enough features in common to provide good material for creating a mental pic ture of Columbus. In person he was tall and shapely, long-faced and aquiline and had very pale gray eyes. In early life his complexion was very fine. In the generally accepted historical pictures he is represented as possessed of mustache and pointed beard. At thirty his hair was quite gray. He was temperate in eating, drinking and dress, and so strict in religious matters LOTTO'S COLUMBUS. that for fasting and saying all divine offices, he might be thought professor in some religious order. Notwithstanding all he has done for this country some American writers have recently sought to prove that his moral conduct would not stand the high test of a comparison with that of a New England Sunday school-teacher. He was really so devoutly religious that his signature is a cipher, said to mean "Serrate me, Xrhitus, Maria, Yosefus, Christoferens." Ia his later years he suffered from gout, ophthalmia and other maladies which his many hardships brought on. His sight and hearing were quick and his sense of smell extremely delicate. 5- Xp o f EREN5 - SIGNATURE OF COLUMBUS. and he nad a great fondness for per fumes. Every orf his voysages he was fond of having his linen, which was very fine, and his gloves scented with essences or more often with dried flowers. Otherwise he was moderate and simple in diet and apparel from taste and on principle; he may be added to the list of great men who con fined themselves as fur as possible to vegetable diet and preferred water to wine. He was scrupulously careful of garb and person, even when he wore the garb of an associate of the order of St. Francis, as he did whenever circum stances permitted. SO.HK EAGLETS.

She Was a Member of a Noble Itelo-Por-tueueso Family.

The greatest of all discover ers was himself destined to wed the daughter of a discoverer. Columbus often went to mass on Sun days and other obligatory days. His residence in Lisbon being near the con vent of All Saints, he resorted thither to perform his devotions, and in his as siduous attendance there it was his fate to be attracted by Dona Felipa Muniz until he sought and obtained her in marriage. , The affection of ColumbuB for the young Lusitaninn doubtleRs possessed practical features also In view of the sailor's desire to live for the realiza tion in his riper age of the work already fully planned In the latter years of his exuberant youth. Moreover, credit ing his contemporaries as we should, the incomparable pilot displayed two traits capable of turning the head I will not say of Dona Felipa but of every woman eloquence and personal attractiveness. I i is many graces captivated her senses, his eloquence, her mind. Felipa Muniz, daughter of I'hillipone Peretrello, and Christopher Columbus were made one, iu conformity with religion and law, in holy indissoluble wedlock, in the year 1471. The year following their union a son was born to them who was batized in Lisbon and named Diego. ,.i1 Baking Powder i
