Names of European Nations.

These are derived principally from some
particular cause or object. For instance,
Ireland-which julius Caesar first called
Hibernia-is kind of modification of
Erin, or the country of the West.
Scotland, from Scotia, tribe which
originally came from Ireland 1t was an
GENTLY called Caledonia. which means a
mountainous country-forests and lands.
Portugal, the ancient Lusitania, was
so named from town on the river Douro,
called Gale, opposite to which the in
habitants built city called Porto, or
Oporto. And when the country was re-
covered from the Moors the inhabitants
combined the words, and called it the
kingdom of Portucale-hence Portugal.
Spain, the ancient Iberia, from the
River Iberus, or Hispania, from the
Phenician spaniga, which signifies
Astounding with rabbits, which animals
are very numerous in that country-hence
Spain.
France, from the Franks, a people of
Germany who conquered that country.
Its ancient name was Celia, Gaul, or
Gallia- Bracchata, the latter signifylng
striped breeches, which were worn by
the natives.
Switzerland, the ancient Helvetia, was
so named by the Austrians, who called
the inhabitants of these mountainous
countries Schweitzers.
Italy received its present name from a
renowned prince called Italus. 1t was
called Hesperia, from its western To-
cality.
Holland, the ancient Batavi, war
like people, were so named from the
German word hohl, the English of which
is hollow, implying very low country.
The inhabitants are called Dutch, from
the German deutsch or teutsch.
Sweden and Norway were anciently
called Scandinavia, which the modern
anti9uarians think means country the
woods of which have been burnt or de-
stroyed. The appellation Sweden is de-
rived from Sictuna, or Sultheod. The
native term Norway, or the northern
way, explains itself.
but some writers suppose it took its name
from Russio, and the Sclavonic syllable
pc. which means adjacent, or near.
Denmark means the marches, territor-
les, or boundaries of the Danes
Russia is the ancient Sarmatia, which
has been subsequently named Muscoyy
1t derived its present name from Russi,
| Sclavonic tribe, who founded the Rus
sian monarchy. The original savage in
habitants used to paint their bodies, in
order to appear more terrible in battle
They generally lived in the mountains,
and their chariots were their only habita,

Turkey took its name from the Turks,
or Turcomans, which signifies wander
ers, and originally belonged to the
Scythians or Tartars 1t is sometimes
called the Ottoman empire, from Otto.

Talk with a Stalwart.

A prominent New York city poll
tieian, a warm personal friend of Gen,
Grant and ex-senator Conkling, was at
Parker's yesterday. lie said that
"Edmunds and Lincoln" was the one
ticket which would carry New York
State surely. Edmunds would
command the confidence of the
country Everybody would feel,
were he put in nomination at Chicago,
that the wisest thing for harmony in
the party had been done. Vermont
being so small a State, Edmunds would
be looked at not as Vermont or New
England candidate, but as the candi-
date of the whole party all over the
country. Logan had begun too soon,
as he always did. His unsound record
on financial matters would hurt him in
the eyes of the moneyed classes and
the banks. General Sherman could be
elected, but it was not the thing to do.
He was, without doubt, a Republi-
can, but he was not statesman. Then,
too, the politicians would feel that
John Sherman would be likely TO have
altogether disproportionate influence
at the White House. 1t was all nom
sense for the New York Times to say
that, if General Sherman were Presi-
dent, the White House would become
| a center of Jesuit influence, for there
was probably no man in the country
who was less possessed by ecclesiastical
bias. But, all the same, the fact that
his wife and son were ardent C Catholics
would hurt his candidacy. After look
ing the field all over, this gentleman, a
representative Stalwart, thought Ed

EulOgizin- Women.

Marion Crawford in his new novel, ITO
Leeward, says: ooh, woman, God given
helpmate of man, and noblest of Gods
gifts and Of all created things-is there
any man bold enough to say that he can
make praises for you out of ink and paper
that shall be worthy to rank as praise at
all by the side of your good deeds2 You,
who bow your gentle heads to the bur-
den, and think it sweet, out of the full
ness of your own sweet sympathy-you,
whose soft fingers have the strength to
bind up broken limbs and rough, torn
wounds-you, who feel for each living
thing as you feel for your own bodily flesh,
and more-you, who in love are more ten
der and faithful and long suffering
than we, and who, even erring, err
for the sake of the over-great heart that
God has given you. you are only
women, and you know no better9' What
greater, or higher, or nobler thing can |
say of you, IN all humbleness and truth
than that you are what you are, and that
you know no better2 What better things
can any know than to bear pain bravely,
to heal the wounded, to feel for all, even
for those who cannot feel for themselves,
and to be tender and faithful and kind
in love2 And even, being given of
heaven and loved of it, that you should
turn in time of need and trouble and say
prayer for strength and knowledge,
even that is part of you, and not the
least divine part. So that when the man
who cannot suffer what you can suffer,
nor do the good that you can do, sneers
and SCOTS at your prayers and your relig-
ion, could wiring his cowardly neck to

Tho Largest Land Possession.

Mr.. George P. Zimpelman is probably
one of the largest landholders in the Re-
public of Mexico Five years ago he
organized the 'Carrolltan Mining, Stock
Raising and Agricultural Company, and
went to chihuahua and purchased q
Spanish land grant that was made in
1915. The grant was of 1000, 900 acres
of as fine agricultural and mining lands
as exist in Mexico. In this grant there
are five towns, three of which con-
tain population of more
than 1900 people each. The prop
erty has grown wonderfully in value,
fully 700 per cent. The company occu-
pies the grant with their own stock, and
cultivate its soil themselves and also work
The mines. They have 5000 men en-
ployed in the different industries, and a
large populace of tenants at will On
this grant the company have from 40, 600
to $4,000 sheep, Is, 600 head of cattle,
1900 horses, 1000 jacks and lennets.
They sell their stock on the grounds,
buyers coming to them and purchasing
in large numbers The product of the
soil is bounteous, wheat averaging sew
enty to seventy-fve bushels per acre, and
other classes of vegetables equally as pro-
life. The mines are very rich, the crude
ore being worth from $3.50 TO $500 per
ton, about thirteen per cent. being gold.
When the company bought this grant,
the purchase included the slaves thereon,
but these were given their freedom.
The climate is admirable, there being
10 frosts, and the summer heat is never
oppressive. They are not tormented with
flies, mosquitoes or other pestiferous and
devouring insects that are so common in
other chimes.
This is, as said, probably the largest
land possession of one ownership on the
American continent, and when the valu-
alton of the stock mines and improve
ments are added the wealth of this COM
rany is simply enormous. Mr.. Zimpelman
was formerly resident of Texas. Want
ing more room, and being far-sceing,
shrewd mag, and of indomitable energy,
no organized this company. -!sedaliq
