The Name OF America.

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
been often discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it was one of those names
of Teutonic origin like Humberto, Alfonso
Grimaldi or Garlbaldi, so common in
Northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest Americ which oc-
ours as early as 744 A. d., is probably a
contracted form of the name Amalaric
borne by King of the Visigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop was present at the
Council of Salisbury in S07, and an Ameri-
Gus Ballstarius is mentioned in the close
rolls thirteenth century,. 1t has beer
conjectured that the stem is i'm, from
which we get the name of Emma. The
meaning of this is not known with GER
tainty, though Ferguson thinks it may de-
note Strife" or "noise" Since, however
the name is probably Gothic origin, and
since the Amalungs were the royal race Of
the Ostrogoths, it is more likely that the
stem is anal, which was formerly thought
to mean without spot" but is now more
plausibly connected with the old Morse
ami, labor, work The suffix ric, cognate
rer, reich and rick, means erich" or "power-

Emotional DEVELOPMENT i'm Girls.


1t is precisely in that natural aptitude
for emotion, in that type of mind which
is exquisitely sensitive to impressions and
generously swayed by sympathetic feeling,
that one of the great dangers to the per-
lection of womanhood, physical and men
tai, may be said to reside.
Many and varied influences tend to in
crease this emotional excitability until it
often becomes fixed habit of mind an
undue sensibility of the supreme centers to
emotional ideas is created, which can only
be maintained at the expense of sound
health of body and of mind. First among
these are certain home influences that are
brought to bear upon little girl from her
earliest childhood, which foster in self
consciousness and introspection.
She is generally permitted narrower
limits, within which she can play, can
dress, can succeed than are allowed to her
brother, even when her physique is equally
able. She is housed more closely, her out
of-door sports are fewer and less interest
ing, and her dress is too often limitation
to her freedom. Such restrictions of her
liberty, and constant reference to the fact
| that her sex denies her this or that en-

self-conscious and emotionally overactive.
Methods of family discipline which depend
upon appeals to emotional natures Of chill
dren have like unhealthy results, for they
promote condition of mental commotion
and unrest harmful to children, who re-
quire an even atmosphere for the mind as
well as for the body. There are often I'M
due claims made upon little children for
the demonstration of their affections, and
this is especially true of girls.
In paper on Emotional Prodigality
among Children" read before dental So
ciety some years ago by DR.. c. F. Taylor,
it was argued that stimulation of the emo
tions among children conduced not only to
disease of the spine, but also to dental
carries
DIR. Taylor says: In my large practice
among children, am certain scores are
literally killed by the excessive amount Of
emotional excitement which they are
forced to endure. All this hugging and
kissing and talking to them is to excite
responses of the same emotional nature in
the child for the pleasure and qualification
of the parents and friends" And again he
says / ielieve that three-fifths OF the
spinal diseases which occur in children are
directly traceable to mental overaction.
And this because q large proportion OF
these cases gets well without other treat
ment than a withdrawal from the exciting
cause Of emotional disturbance"-Dr

OF the milkman, and the standards of quail
ity and methods of analysis established by
their public analysts have been generally
adopted by chemists all over the country.
Yet, in spite of the vigilant eye which is
thus constantly watching this department
of the farm, pounds of butter weighed ac-
cording to system of units not recognized
in the arithmetic, milk which contains an
abnormal percentage of water, and cream
whose composition will not bear investi-
cation, are daily sold in the market-places
of both city and country.
But they are, of course, two sides to the
question. Not unfrequently the milkman
is accused entirely without cause. There
are few housekeepers who do not sincerely
believe, in spite of an otherwise general
faith in mankind, that he, at least. will
bear watching The analyst, however, is
a.perfectly unprecedented person. He cares
little for the protestations of the vender, or
the suspicious of the customer. He simply
says, "Your milk should have such and
such a specific gravity; it should contain
such and such percentages of fat, of other
hydrocarbons, of mineral salts, and of
water; if 1t contain these. it is an honest
milk; if 1t does not, it is adulterated."
And generally, the analyst is not open to
argument. He has implicit faith in his
hydrometer and analytical balance.

The Importanoe of Pure MrIk.

In an article upon "The Adulteration
of Milk and its Detection" written by
Prof. c. H. Henderson, and published in
Popular Science for February, he says:
The absolute necessity of maintaining
certain standard of purity il food products,
has led, in most of the States, to compre-
hensive and somewhat stringent legislation
concerning authorizations. Particularly is
this the case as regards the product of the
dairy. The official inspection busies itself
with both the qualitative and cumulative
value of these articles. OF all the foods
supplied directly by nature, milk is the
only one which contains all the elements
Of nutrition in the relative proportions re-
quired by man. and in form easy of di-
gestion; it is therefore the food best suited
to young children and invalids-persons
who can i'll afford to have their food tam
pered with in any way. This consider
alton, together with the universal use of
the article, has determined the adoption of
system of public inspection in nearly all
of our large cities. The States of Massa-
chusetts, New York and Michigan have
given particular attention 10 the honesty

CHAPTER II.

1t was a week or two later. March was
nearly over; the clouds put on their white
spring dress, and sailed by happily across
skies that were blue again; the water
danced and sparkled in the sunshine, beat
merrily against the gray old stones of the
Hard, and rejoiced in the good time coming
Excited children appeared, stumbling over
the stones, talking vociferously to basket.
laden, umbrella-laden, shawl and wrap and
cloak-laden elders. Fine ladies in wide
crinolines came tripping daintily by. Lazy
young men, with their hands in their pock-
cts, sauntered down with an air of indiffer-
ence. The Hard was gay again.
Cas- was the gayest of the gay. She
found funds of mirth in every ones every
day jokes. She stood in the doorway and
took an unfagging interest in everything
that passed around her; raised the laugh
against the careful pleasure seeker who
staid to b;rgain with the boatmen; sent
the shaft of satire after the parsimonious
who departed; joined volubly in every
conversation; took decided side in every
quarrel, and proved to the meanest intelIi-
gence that her heart was light and her
interest in life keen.
If she suffered she made no sign. She
had creed of womanly virtue-a creed
of strange omissions and certain out-of.
date beliefs writ large To love man
who scorned her love was a shameful
thing-a thing to be hustled away out Of
sight, ignored, laughed down, forgotten as
soon as possible. That her face crimsoned
when Jim looked at her. that her pulses
throbbed when he touched her hand by
chance in passing; that her heart sank
and all her being seemed to ache when he
turned away from her and lowered his
voice to speak gently to Emily, made her
weep as bitter tears of shame at night as
any repentant Magdalen might have shed.
1t was a clear, bright, breezy night al
the end Of March. The shutters of the
shop had been shut two hours ago. The
last of the dodgers had stumbled away to

looked, in a dull-eyed, listless way, at the

and that Emily was bringing water. She
was full of housewifely cares with no house

INFLUENCE OF FooD ON MILK.-The
per cent, of solids is not necessarily in
creased by heav ier grain feeding. In other
words, cow giving milk containing II or
u per cent. of solids on moderate grain
ration may and may not give Is per cent.
of milk when fed a richer ration. The in
fluence of the feed on the milk is usually
controlled by the animals constitution and
character. This position will be fiercely
assailed, because the general impression is
that richer feed will make richer milk
This may be comparatively true so far as
the fat in milk is concerned, but all feed
ing tests on record that are accompanied
by analysis go to show that there is no as
sured influence Of food on the quantity of
milk solids other than fat. A COW may
give milk with more solids in it when fed
on comparative poor ration than on rich
food. The relation between food and solids
is therefore unfxed, but depends upon the
animal. But the mixed milk of diaries al
most invariably runs about Is per cent Of
solids.-Fdrm and Home.

Mans Relationship to Animals.


Only the briefest reference can be made
says Professor +. S. Morse, in Popular Sci.
| ence for February, to few Of the numerous
contributions on the subject of mans rela-
| tionship to the animals below him.. The
rapidly accommodating proof of close rela-
tlonshlp between man and the quadrumana
make interesting every fact, however triv-
ial, in regard to the structure and habits
Of the higher apes. DR.. Arthur E. Brown
has made some interesting experiments
with the monkeys in the Geological Gar
| dens in Philadelphia. He found that the
monkeys showed great fear, as well as curl
osity, when snake was placed in their
cage, though they were not affected by
other animals such as an alligator and
turtle. On the other hand, animals be-
longing to other orders showed no fear or
curiosity at a snake. These experiments,
| repeated In various ways, lead him only to
one confusion, :" that the fear of the ser.
pent became instructive in some far-distant
progenitor of man, by reason of his ex-
posure to danger and death in horrible
form, from the bite, and that it has been
handed down through the diverging lines
of descent which find their expression to.
III lloiiiO anu L llHGCuS.
The same author, in an exceedingly in
teresting description of the higher apes
says: "a. r. Wallace once called atten-
ton to the similarity in color existing be-
tween the orang and chimpanzee and the
human natives of their respective coun-
tries. 1t would, indeed, seem asif but hall
the truth had been told, and that the COM
parison might be carried also into the
region of mind; the quick, vivacious
chimpanzee partaking of the mercurial
disposition of negro races, while the apa-
thetic, slow orang would pass for a disciple
of the sullen fatalism of the Malay"
DR.. Brown has also given description
of the grief manifested by a chimpanzee
on the death of its mate. His grief was
shown by tearing his hair or snatching at
the short hair on his head. The yell OF
rage was followed by cry the keeper had
never heard before, sound which might
be represented by hah-ah-ah-ah-ah uttered
somewh hat under the breath, and with q
plaintive sound like moan.

A Nation OF Eoyyards.

"Thugism is on the increase" said an
officer, and there is but little fairness
shown in fights nowadays. / don't know
exactly to what to attribute it, but it is a
fact that in ninety-nine cases out of hun
dred where arrests are made by the police
the complainant or the man who gets the
worst of it declares that the other fellow
took him unaware. When was boy if
one person had anything against another
he went up to him and 'cussed' him and
dared him to take off his coat and have a
square rough and tumble fight Then the
bystanders would form a ring and by pre-
venting anybody from interfering would
see that the best man would win. But it
is different now. If man has anything
in the way Of score to settle with you he
walks up alongside Of you and hits you on
the jugular vein or over the eye with his
fist, a sandbag or a pair of brass knuckles
or slungshot, and stretches YOU on the
pavement. Men come into the Central
Station every day and night with cut
heads and faces, and say they were knocked
out without provocation and before they
could even get in position to defend them
selves. Here is a nice question for philos-
ophers: Are We getting to be nation of
towards? This kind of fighting certainly
argues to me that we are. Saloon keepers
and their bartenders do good deal of this
one-sided smuggling. They usually have a
billy or soda bottle handy, and when a
man comes in drunk without money and
makes himself disagreeable, they crack
away at his head, knock him down and
drag him out to the sidewalk. A bar
tender said to me last night: take no
chances, If a man comes in here and gets
to monkeying or makes Il nuisance of him
self am not going out from behind the
bar to put him out and run the risk of get
ting done up. take bottle and hit him
once, and then have no trouble getting
rid of him. "-Kansas City Journal

But if there be anything that can bring
the good big broad smile of satisfaction to
the faces Of our christian temperance ladies'
it is the fact that from the social of Tuesday
last there was realized the handsome sum of
fifty eight dollars. They evidently were
tickled. To individualize, where everybody
labored so earnestly and so diligently and so
we'll, to make this social success, would be
inculcating spirit Of invidiousness. We
refrain. We also desist from attempting to
describe the scene Of beauty. The pen fails
us. The platform was. richly furnished and
decorated with works of art, and the ladies
of the W. C. T. U. fitted over and around it,
reminding one of 'ninistering angels"
To say that it were easy to imagine ones
self in Heaven, therefore, is not too much,
because the affair came off in the Presby
terian church.
The program consisted Of music, recita-
tions and tableaux. in which all who took
part evinced good taste and training. 1t
was proof positive of what the poet said:
"Act we'll your part,
There all the honor lies"
The fun as we'll as the profit of the whole
evenings entertainment consisted in the
voting business. 1t was decidedly amusing
to witness the tricks resorted to by our
young Bottineau politicians to advance the
cause of their various favorites. 1t is under
stood that the gang led by Noble, Tibblts,
Morissey, Fyfe and Pete Ferguson, "bustcd''
the slate, and Miss Mary Russell came out
triumphant as the handsomest lady, and she
took the elegant frosted three-story cake
that our enterprising and accommodating
restaurateur, 10 syers, had prepared aud
donated.
School Superintendent Cathro bore the
honors thrust upon HIM quite meekly. He
took a cake, too, rs the ugliest gentleman in
Bottincau, and upon his presentation to the
audience, he blushed a blush of maiden coy
ness, clean from the top of his head to the
tip of his chin.
Thus ended the first social of the Bottineau
W. G. T. T., long to be remembered as the
first Of series Of efforts by noble band of
women to reclaim and redeem their fellow
men from the thraldom of strong drink.
