American Names.

If we knew nothing of the history Of
America, if all written history of this
country were blotted out. we might be
able to GOV much of it from the
proper names of places that everywhere
tell of the nationality, of the character,
and sometimes of the mental peculiari-
ties of the European settlers. For in
stance we find in this continent names
of English, Dutch, French, Spanish,
Portuguese and Scandinavian origin,
while all over the country are scattered
the Indian names that tell of the abor-
igines. If written history were lost we
might be able to infer, from the exist
ance of a name of particular nationali-
ty, the presence of people of that nation
in that locality. Such is the case. The
Spanish names of cities and towns are
scattered along the Gulf coast. over
Mexico, and throughout all Central and
South America, where settlements were
made by the Spaniards. French names
are found in South Carolina and Lou
isiana aud all other localities where the
French established themselves. Dutch
names are found in New York and New
Jersey, Scandinavian names in New
Jersey and Greenland.
All through the country, however,
the Indian names still linger, and were
originally the names of features of
natural scenery, such as rivers. noun
tains and lakes. The explanation ofthis
is simple and perfectly plain. The
names of towns in a conquered country
are generally given by the c%onquerors,
who either build or overcome the armed
and fortified cities and rename them
after the capture. But when a con-
quering army on its march comes to a
river or a mountain it is much more
natural to give the name already as
signed'to it by the natives than to re-
name it. SO these features of natural
scenery, as a rule, retain the names by
which they were known to the original
Inhabitants. Mississippi, Missouri.
Iowa, Alabama, Tennessee, Minnesota,
Wisconsin. Dakota, Chattahoochee, APP
palachee and Appalachicola were a
originally the names of rivers or other
features of natural scenery, and have
since received a secondary application,
their natural beauty Of sound commend
ing them to the ears of those who
adopted them.-St. Louis Globe Denao-
Graf.

flow a Dog Saved Its Blind Master.


Some time ago a blind gentlemen,
well known in the North, of England
went for a walk of several miles accom-
panied by his dog. He knew the road
30 well that he did h6t. strap, DIP the dog,
put let It run loose. he had gone near
" Eve Miles on his way. and was cross
ing some fields by a foot-path, when his
dog gave a peculiar whine in front of
him. He was about to climb a stile
when another whine was heard. This
startled him, Sd. hs crossed the stile as
carefully as he could, feeling every step.
just as he got over the stile, the dog
gave a louder whine of alarm, placed his
fore feet upon his breast and held hir
fast against the stile. He tried to push
the dog aside, but it would not let him
proceed. The strap was, therefore, put
around its neck, and the wise creature
at once lead Its master by a roundabout
way Quite ont of the ordinary path. II
appeared that part of the footpath
which, led past a stream had been en-
tirely washed away by a flood, so that,
had the gentlemen continued upon the
| old path he must have met with a most
serious accident.
What made the sagacity of the dog
more conspicuous ON this occasion was
the fact that it had not been with its
master for eighteen months, he having
been laid up Tor, the whole OF that pc
tiod, and the dog living with a friend
during the illness.-LiHle Folks Maya

Fattening Geese.

Geese, like other fowls, by proper
management, may be easily fattened;
but it is we'll known that unless they
are killed, and put into market at their
latest period. they do not long hold
flesh, ana rapidly become lean. The
French method in fattening these fowls
consists in plucking the feathers feom
the belly, in giving them abundance of
food and drink, and in coping them
up more closely than is practiced with
common fowls; cleanliness and quiet
ude, being above all things i1dispensa-
BILE. The best time to begin fa~ttening
is in the month of November, or as
soon as cold weather has fairly set in;
if it is longer delayed, the pairing sea-
son begins, and prevents them from be.
coming fat. If you have not too many
geese to fatten, a good way is to put
them into a cask, with holes bored
in it, through which they can thrust
their heads to feed; and being natural
ly voracious, their love of food isgreat-
er than their desire for liberty. so that
they fatten very rapidly. By this meth
cd, and fed on a mash made of buck
wheat, barley, or Indian meal, with
milk and boiled potatoes. they can he

four weeks.-FariTie Farmer.

Painting Tin Roofs.

Tin on a house top should be well
.r1ir-ed once in four years. For roofs,
light, cool colors are preferable, be-
cause they reflect the warm rays of
light, and thereby lessen the expansion
and contraction of the metal and the
shrinking of the boards underneath,
and so lessen the liability of the tin to
crack in the seams. The temperature
of attic rooms in the summer will be
materially lower if the roof be painted
with a light rather than with a dark
color. The writer has learned from
long experience that the finest French
ocher is the most economical pigment
that can be used for that purpose. If,
as is sometimes the case in country
houses, where the roof is a conspicuous
object in the architecture of the build
ing, a dark color be indispensable, the
use of pure Venetian red darkened with
lampblack is recommended as the most
durable and economical. If by some
process the oil used in roof painting
could be prevented from becoming hard
aud brittle, it would be a great gain.
The poorest oil paint, however, is
better than neglect; and the best econ
omy consists in keeping tin entirely and
thoroughly protected from the cor
roding influence of dampness. Old
paint, which has become '.fatty'' from
exposure to the atmosphere, is better
than new for roof painting. Not a
drop of turpentine should be used for
such work TIE Metal Worker.

Making Cider Vinegar.

The malic acid of the apple and the
acetic acid produced from the fefmen-
tation of the sugar of the juice are both
wholesome and an aid to digestion, and
the natural desire for these acids, es-
pecially the former, which exists in all
fruits, may be considered as an instinct
i've craving for a necessary article of
food, just as the appetite for salt and
sugar is. The formation of the vege-
table acids is n of the curiosities of
agricultural science which shows in a
remarkable way what a very great
change is made in the character of
various substances by the mere adj
dition or subtraction of one or more
chemical elements contained in them.
Thus, the following table will show
how starch is changed into sugar,
sugar into glucose, glucose into alco-
hoI. and alcohol into vinegar, or acetic
acid. which is the last stage of the
chemical change, excepting putrefac-
ton, when the substance finally disap-
pears in an explosive gas:

Here it is seen that by adding an
equivalent of water to starch it is
changed into zane sugar; n more
equivalent of water changes cane sugar
into glucose. By breaking up one
equivalent of glucose into two parts
and taking from them four equivalents
of carbonic acid-which, it is well
known, escape in the alcoholic fermen-
tation-there are left two equivalents
of alcohol. One equivalent of alcohol,
then, loses two atoms of hydrogen and
gains one of oxygen, and becomes
vinegar, or acetic acid; and it is exceed
ingly curious to see how, after all these
changes, three equivalents of vinegar
are precisely alike in composition to
one equivalent of glucose, or fruit
sugar.
Every one Of these changes occurs in
the production of vinegar from apples.
The starch and acids Of unripe fruit are
changed into sugar as the fruit ripens
by the addition of oxygen, chiefly from
the air; and, i3deed, this addition of
oxygen takes place in the exposure of
unripe fruit to the air during the grind
ing of it in the cider mill and the airing
oi the juice as it run from the press or
rests in the watts or casks. And Just
here, in concluding these remarks, it
might be said that, while ripe fruit il
extremely wholesome and even nutri-
tious, the use of unripe fruitis positively
hurtful and dangerous, as some of the
chemical changes above mentioned
occur in the stomach and bowels, pro-
ducing various injurious gases which
not only irritate the sensitive men,
branes and produce cramps and severe
pains, but by being absorbed into the
blood may produce the most serious or
fatal disorders.-M. 2. Times.

tive instrument clouded up, showed
great depression and was in a terrible

unprecedented storms and cyclones,
and after deliberation rescinded the
order giving the boys holiday the next
day, postponing their proposed excur-
sion. The next morning the SUN ill., up
q cloudless day, balmy and mild. The
boys, approaching the situation, put on

tions with umbrellas raised. They
rushed through the soft Sunshine as il
pursued by bowling winds, and shook
themselves on entering the lecture.

rains. The Faculty gave it up finally,
