I . A VALUABLE BOOK. ONLY EIGHT PAGES. BUT WORTH THOUSANDS. A T*l« »f th* Columbian l>»y«—Tho Voju(« In (Jurat of th« Kaw Worlil Daarrtbad In (Jnalnt Pltylo by lha l)U eotarar of Am<-rl<:,t, N THE 8TEAM shlp Spree, which arrived a few day* ago, there waa Im ported a thin little volume of only eight pagca, the ap praised value of which waa 12,000, nays a New York paper. The book let la a Latin translation of a letter written by Chris topher Columbus, giving a report of bis discovery of what be supposed to have been only some Islands off the coast of India. Stephen I'lannck, a printer, of Home, struck off a few copies of the translation In 1493. Not all of these are now to be found. In the Harlow sale of Americana, at the American Art Galleries, In 1889, a copy of the I’lannck edition, Identical with the one that came on the Spree, was sold to Hrayton Ives for 12,200. b *#•'$in a ijiHyij'P mu'nip, ' tborltlea a* to whether or no tbe edi tion of tbe Columbian letter, of which the two little hooka are copies, Is the first printed reproduction. Mr. Karnes, of the Muox Library* say* that no two authorities agree as to the priority of date of tbe publication of Columbus' report. Harrlsse stoutly maintains that this Plannck edition I* the third appear ance of the letter, while K. II. Major, , of the British Museum, advance* argu Aments, said to be both logical and weighty, to show that It is the first. Kills, In the Huth catalogue, claim* that Major has proven this Impression to be the first. John Russell Bartlett also placed this particular edition first in the John Carter Brown library. But. however much the antiquarians may disagree among themselves, there is no doubt as to tbe great value of the book, which Is printed in clear type on heavy paper. The dimensions of the pages arc* 7 1-16 Inches "full" by 5 3-16. Home of the leaves have a water mark, the device being a pair of scales. If printed In The World the letter would occupy about a column and two-tblrd*. The binding of the $2,000 copy, which was Imported by Dodd, Mead Be Co., the Fifth avenue booksellers, Is a full blue crushed levant morocco, with a double of red levant. Tbe binder Is Tblbaron Joly, of Pari*. The first sentence of the "foreword," or preface, Is as follows: "Kplstola Cbrlstoforl Colorn; cut eta* nostra multu debet; de Insules Indie supra Oangem nuper Invetls." Translated tho "foreword" entire reads: "Letter from Christopher Colom; to whom our age owetb much: concern ing tbe Islands of India beyond the Canges recently discovered.

The year One of the Pontificate of Alexander VI." A rail for Callwilai Jogs. An American woman of artistic tastes, who has traveled abroad a good deal, while looking about for something to collect that was neither spoons, tea cups nor posters, hit upon the idea of gathering little Jugs and mugs. Her friends soon learned of her new fad and aided her In adding to her collec tion. Wherever she went she would pick up a tiny Jug or perhaps two or three, until now she has over 200. None of them Is over three Inches long and they are In all colors and represent many places and potteries—tiny am phorae from southern Italy, Btruscan Jars from Tuscany, miniature ollas from Hpaln and Mexico, squat pitchers from Holland, wee quaint schooners from Germany, mugs from Knglund and little brown Jugs from everywhere. All y'nese are strung upon a Mlcroneslan ’cord and the odd ornament is festooned on her wall against a background that shows up the varied colors to advan tage and makes the bits of earthenware and china distinctly decorative,—-Har per's Llatar.

A short time ago a small company of ; friends followed the body of one whom they tenderly loved from the union sta tion to a church In the city, says the Boston Transcript. Death bad come suddenly In the midst of a happy sum mer vacation In a quiet country home. The rush and roar of the town were sickening to the nearest friends who had parted with the dear companion of many years. The soul that had gone wss full of the "enthusiasm of human ity"; the life here had been devoted to the uplifting of others; had never been Indifferent to a human need. Now the city throng crowded and Jostled; men and women hurried on their way, stared carelesaly or with mere curios ity; wagons rattled by, their driver* whistling, singing, swearing. Th# sad little procession seemed to rouse no look of sympathy, of human recognition In any face on any street. Croups of ragged little children stop ping In their play and looking wonder Ingly at the carriage* were, In their unconsciousness, nearer to the griev ing heart than any other objects, till from the top of a heavily loaded dray a teamster, as he drove slowly hy, quietly and respectfully lifted his hat. This aet, customary In foreign lands, but so entirely unlooked for here, seemed to open again for the one who sow It done the floodgate* of human sympathy, to r<- establish the unity of life. This one man had expressed for bis kind the real fellowship of human ity and had rolled back a stone from the tomb of selfishness In which the whole world bad seemed sunk. Truly, It was a little thing, a form, only an outward sign of respect, but It had a deep spiritual significance and was like a gracious benediction to a wounded spirit. The custom of lifting the hat to the dead when they pass hy on the street Is certainly a beautiful one, chiefly for the very reason that It, expresses the fcllowshln of humanity. It I* one of the little things which redeem life from 1U selfishness. Wo American* are a* sympathetic at heart a* any people, but the severe manner* of our forefather* cut u* off from a great many of those little expressions of sympathy and def erence which. If we had them now, our life would be the sweeter for. Those who seek to reintroduce these gentle custom* are not advocating any re action, but cultivating a return to more brotherly ways; Kor a man to lift bl* bat to another man, even a living man, on the street, I* no sacrifice of manly dignity, therefore to lift It to tbe dead certainly never could be supposed so. COULDN'T BE UNOENTLEM AN LY So the I'rotertad I'naanug«r Oot Through All Might. The other morning a conductor on the Southern Pacific train found that one of the passenger* had a bad ticket and thus could not ride upon It, says the New Orleans Picayune. Unfortunately for tbe woman, she had no money, nor had the mother, with whom she was traveling. The conductor Insisted upon payment from one or the other, and when be made his requests urgent, the young lady retreated to the sleeper, where she and her mother, covering up under the quilts, said they would not surrender, “And I am here to protect her,” said the mother. In a very defiant way, thrusting her head out of the curtains. “But, rnadam, the company must have seme compensation for your daughter’s traveling on Its trains. She ha* no ticket, and If you have the money you won't pay It.’’ “Well, that ticket waa a good ticket, and If you won't take It you will have to do without." “You can get off at the next station aim uuy yuui uausuici aumuci uvaov, Bald the conductor. "No, I won’t do that, either, I tell you.” “Well, then, I must have the money,’’ said the conductor, making toward the couple. Instantly the curtains were closed tight, and the young lady, all bundled up under the covering In the compartment, cried out that the con ductor must have an awful hard heart to treat her so ungentlemanly. "I will have you arrested for ungen tlemanly conduct," she cried out. The conductor got off in a quiet cor ner and tried to solve the problem. He called a council of the train people, and for some time they discussed the best means of attack, but none offered, for the passenger was safe and secure In bed, ami guarded by the mother, who had made up her mind not to surrender the citadel. Finally at Morgan City the pair got off, and the young lady carried her point, not having paid her fare. I Itr Atiitior of » llvuin.

Here is my story: "I was down in Indiana County the other day and stopped at a farmhouse for dinner. After dinner I sat down on \ the porch to take a smoke.

Uy this means the circuit Is closed, and the quicksilver, obedient to the wire, registers minutely the heart's ; electro-motor power. This looks simple enough, but It took a great many experiments to arrive at this point. IJr. Waller first tried to cloae a circuit by bringing both feet of a man In connection with the wires. This failed to work. After that he tried one foot and the left hand, then the right hand and the head, but In both Instances the quicksilver remained sta tionary. It responded, however, when the right hand and one of the feet or both hands were connected with the electroscope. These failures established another , truth. It Is well known that the heart has an Imperfect resemblance to a cone, the base of the cone being uppermost, the apex being situated downward and to the left. This Is the normal condi tion and position of the organ. In ex . pertinent lug with the electroscope the scientist found that the human body Is divided Into t wo very uneven parts bv ' an imaginary perpendicular line that j cuts through the base of the heart. One of the parts murked A and one of the points marked H In the llluslra ! tIon will affect the quicksilver when brought simultaneously In contact with the electroscope; a circuit cannot be I closed by joining I wo As or two Ha to gether.

They were to he the twelve foundation stones of the New Jerusalem (K«v. 21; 12, 14), The full text of today's lesson Is as follows: 41 And why beholdest thou the mots that Is in thy brother's eye. hut par cel vent not tho beam that Is In thine own eye? 42. Hither how const thou say to thy brother, Brother, let roe pull out the moio that Is In thine eye. when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that Is In thins own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of I blue own eye, and then shalt thou see dearly to pul) out the mots that Is In I by brother's eye. 43. For a good Ire#* hrlngeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44. For every tree Is known by Its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gat he* Mgs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 4f».

And why call ye me, Ix>rd, Ford, ami do not the things which I say? 47. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he Is like. 48. He Is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid the founda tion on a rock; and when the Hood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, arid could not shake It, for ft was founded upon a rock. 41). But he that heareth, ami doeth not. Is like a man that without a foundation hull! a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and Immediately It fell; and the ruin of that house wus great. The explanations for today’s lessons are as follows: 42. "Or how wilt thou say to thy brother," etc. How can you have the face to say, how lie guilty of such hypocrisy, such absurdity. "And behold, a beam Is In thine own eye." "This Is an evil disease that I have seen under the sun, that men, and those of the better sort sometimes, hear nothing, and talk of nothing so will ingly as they do of other men's faults."— Trapp. "Thou hypocrite," an actor, one who professes one thing, hut Is another. "He disguises his want of charity for hi* brother under the garb of compassionate zeal."—Henry. "First cast out the beam out of thine own eye." "The man with a great beam In hfs own eye, who there fore can see nothing accurately, purposes to remove a little splinter from his broth er's eye, a delicate operation, requiring clear sight."—M. It. Vincent. No one can rightfully or successfully help others to escape from sin, who does not at least, with earnest sincerity, try to overcome his own faults and sins. "Then shalt thou see clearly." With eye purified by sincerity, with true, undlstorted vision. because (1) he realizes not only the evil of the fault, hut the difficulty of getting rid of It, and the greatness of tempta tion. (2) He will approach the faulty person in a gentle and sympathetic spirit. (3) He knows the way of victory, and therefore, can help others. “To cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Here Is a higher motive for overcoming our own faults, because thus we may success fully aid In the reformation of the world. For in the very condemnation of the false way of helping others to get rid of their faults It is implied that we should use the right way. “The Sermon on the Mount." Jesus, having begun the organization of the working forces of his kingdom, comes down to a level place below the summit, hut still upon the hill, and gfieaks to his disciples, and the; multitudes who had come up to hear him. Here he lays down the principles according to which all who are the members of the new kingdom must live. If every one lived according to these principles, the millennium would have come, paradise would be regained, heaven would be on earth.
