Primeva1 Man in America.

The environment read from geolo-
gy indicates that the Trenton man
was a hunter or a fisherman who
used and lost the primeval tools of
his mysterious craft within the waters
rather than upon the land, and thus
appears to materially narrow the
range of hypothesis as to his activi-
ties; but the extravaganza in labor
indicated by the vast number of I'M
worn implements suggests that the
rapid modification in environment and
occupation accompanying the ice in
vasion outran the resulting modifica
ton in appliances, and that the inn
plements were really invented on
land and were but i'll adapted to the
new conditions, and the introduction
of new type of implement during
the brief epoch of gravel deposition
gives support to the suggestion.
So the margin of the cloud envel-
oping the beginnings of human life in
America is slowly lifting Already
there is definite and cumulative evil
dence of mans existence during
the latest ice epoch, with a
strong presumption against an earlier
origin than the first Quarternary ice
invasion; already it is known that
the primitive American haunted the
ice front rather than the fertile plain,
and must have been hunter or fisher
man; already his environment is so
we'll known as to partially elucidate
his activities but the first traces of
the autochton yet found tell of an in
telligent being who dominated the
animal world as does his descendants,
and thus the mystery of mans ulti-
mate origin remains enshrouded as
darkly as ever.

People speak about their eyes be-
ing fatigued, meaning that the reti-
ma, or nerve portion of the brain that
does the seeing, is fatigued but
such is not the case, as the retina
rarely tires. The fatigue is in the
inner and outer muscles attached to
the eyeball, and the muscle of accom-
mediation which surrounds the lens
of the eye. When a near object is
to be looked at, this muscle relaxes
and allows the lens to thicken, in
creasing its retroactive power. The
inner and outer muscles are used in
covering the eye on the object to be
looked at, the inner one being espec-
tally used when a near object is to be
looked at. 1t is in these three mus
Giles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication
of strain is a redness of the rim of
the eyelid, betokening a congested
state of the inner surface, which may
be accompanied with some pain.
When the eye tires easily, rest is not
the proper remedy, but the use of
glasses of sufficient power to aid in
accommodating the eye to vision.

The Name america.

The bulletin of the Paris Geograph-
ical Society contains an account of
M. Jules Maroon, of certain further
researches which he has made of the
name america AS far back as
1875 he published a paper on the
same topic which attracted much at
tention at that time. and he has since
devoted much labor to an investiga-
ton of early historical documents in
which the New World is named.
The popular notion that America
was so called from the Christian
name of Amerigo Vespucci is, he
says, wholly unfounded, and he sums
up his conclusions in this way:
/. Amerique is the Indian name
of the mountains between Juigapa
and Libertad, in the Province of
Chontales, which separates Lake Mic
aragua from the Mosquito coast. The
word in the Maya language signifies
''the windy country" or "the coun-
try where the wind blows always"
2. The Christian name of Vespucci
was Alberico in Italian and Spanish,
Albericus in Latin. 3. This partic-
ular name is subject to an enormous
number of variations, as the nomen-
clature and calendars of Spanish and
Italian saints of the period show but
nowhere is there any such variation
as Americas, Amerigo, etc, and none
of these is either diminutive or va
ration in use in Italy, Spain, or
France for Alberico or Albert. 4.
Before 1907, when Jean Basin of
Saint-Die published the name, it was
not to be found in any printed docu-
ment, nor even in manuscript or rec
ognized and incontestible authority.
M. Maroon claims that his theory
of native origin for the name Amer
lea has been accepted in Spain, Span
ish America, and with some excep-
lions, in the United States in France,
Germany and Italy it has excited
doubt and surprise, but in the last
named he has the support of the en-
inent Turin geographer, M. Guido
Cora. There is no doubt that Column
bus and Vespucci went along the
Mosquito coast at the feet of Sierra
Amerique, and that the same was re-
ported by the officers and men of
these expeditions, and Schooner, the
geographer, declared in 1915 that the
name was already popular in Europe.
1t is beyond question that one edi
ton of Vespucci's letter on his third
voyage has the name Amerigo in the
place of the Christian name; nine |
teen editions had Albericus, and sub
seuuent italian editions had Alberico.
The one with Amerigo on the title
page was published in 1906, but M.
Maroon suggests that this was never
to be a variation of Albert
co, but rather the adaptation of
the name already known
and applied to the new world, to
Vespucci's name to distinguish him,
as we say now, ''Chinese Gordon"
to distinguish the particular Gordon
by suggesting one of his greatest
feats.

Onions VS.. Qu1n1ne.

A correspondent of the american
Garden says: Gone day / was taken
with the chills and headache signs
that my old enemy, malaria, was on
hand. My quinine box was empty,
and | was looking forward to a rest
less, sleepless night. In desperation
[ peeled raw onion and slowly ate,
then went to bed, with warm feet and
an extra comfortable, when, presto
| was asleep in five minutes, and
awaked in the morning free from ma
laria and ready for the days duties.
Our homely but strong friend will be
appreciated in time as a medicine,
and if agriculturists would turn their
attention to raising model onion,
with the strong scent taken out that
taints the breath so unpleasantly,
families will be putting their spills
in the cellar by the barrel, and the
doctors would take to onion farming.
The onion acts as a cathartic and di-
uretic and may help to break up
cold or lessen the bad symptoms.
Said a doctor: 81 always store
barrel of onions in my cellar in the
fall. We have them cooked twice
week, and whoever of the family is
threatened with a cold eats some raw
onion. If this vegetable were gen
orally eaten there would be no diph-
liberia, rheumatism, govt, kidney
or stomach troubles. But bless you
the young men and women are afraid
to eat them. One young man went
so far as to say to me: If my wife
ate onions | would get bill Of di
Vorce.
For the of colds, coughs, and all derange-
of the respiratory organs, no other medicine
is so reliable as Ayers Cherry PICTORIAL 1t re-
heves the asthmatc and consumptive, even in adj

Is it Right to Play Cards?

Is there any harm in game of
whist or euchre? "Well,I know good
men who play whist and euchre, and
other styles of games without any
wager. 1 had friend who played
cards with his wife and his children,
and then at the close, said, Come,
let us have prayers | will not judge
other mems consciences, but | tell
you that cards are in my mind so as
ISOLATED with the temporal and eter-
nal damnation of splendid young men
that I should no sooner say to my
family, Come, let us have game of
cards. than l would go into a menag
erie, and say, Come, let us have a
game of rattleshakes, or into a ceme
terry, and, sitting down to marble
slab, SAY to the grave-diggers, Come,
let us have game of skulls. y
Conscientious young ladies are ST.

''Do you think card playing will do
us any harm?'' Perhaps not, but how

The Work of q Lifetime.

Th0 w Ork OF q Lifetime.
In the flush of youths beginning,
When renown seems worth the winning
By score of schemes accomplished
Ere the eve of life draws nigh,
Then the mind surveys with pleasure
All the length of life and leisure
For researches carried forward
To completion ere we die.
But the march of time, inces SAINT,
Proves our hopes are evanescent,
And the plans of finished labors
Dwindle down to two or one.
Strange delays, all unexpected,
One by one appear, detected,
And the more we do, the greater
Seems the task that lies undOne.
Still, as year to year succeedeth,
Each in turn more swiftly speedeth;
Fifty years soon fly behind us,
And are dwindled to a span;
Still the final day draws nearer,
And the truth grows ever clearer
That life is all too little
To complete the CHERISHED plan.
What remains? Shall we defeated,
From the project uncompleted
Draw aloof, and seek for solacc
In an Indo lent repose?
Rather be the strife redoubled,
Though the light grow dim and troubled,
AS the swiftly falling twilight
Hastens onward to it's close.
No! let never the suggestion
OF thy weakness raise question
Ofthe duty that lies on thee
Still to follow on the trace;
Every stroke of true endeavor
Often wins, and wins forever,
Just a golden grain of knowledge
Such as lifts the human race.
Truth is one! To grasp it wholly
Lies in one--its authOr-solely;
And the mind of man can fathom
But fragment of the plan;
Every scheme, howe'er extensive,
Though it seems all comprehensive,
Is a portion of portion,
Fitting life's allotted span.
Death is near; and then-what matter
Though coming hand shall shatter
All the fair but fragile fabric
Thou laboriously didst raise;
If a single brick abideth
That thine honest toll provideth,
Thou hast borne thy part right nobly,
Thou shalt win the Masters praise!

The snowdrop.

In sad, impatient mood,
a beauty-loving child of long ago
Watched with grief that could not be subdued,
The desolate, binding
Bnt when the storm wild,
A sudden flash of wings illumed the place,
And through the veil of snow angel smi led
Upon her fearful face.
Within his hand he caught
single downy flake of spotless white,
And o the miracle of beauty wrought
Before her raptured sight.
The crystal star unfurled
Pure petals from a sheath of tender green,
And, flower of promise to a stormy world,
The snowdrop smiled serene
Homeward the angel sped,
Clearing the white mist with replendent plume,
But where his feet had pressed, snowdrop bed
Was sweet with fairy bloom.
Beloved, heaven bestows
No miracles to cheer our wntry grief;
Sadly watch the fading of the rose,
The falling of the leaf.
But ever joy comes back,
When the first snowdrop lifts its pearly wing;
We know its opening marks angels track
The angel of the Spring!

W. NCdtS SIhLhs buC
well-known contractor, preached a
scheme for great system of tunnels
under New York city and the East
and North rivers, connecting the city
with suburban points. Little atten
ton was paid to the plan, as it was
considered too expensive to be prac
ticable. Now, however, Mr.. Clark
announces the completion of the ar
rangements for carrying out the great
work. A capital of $50, 10000
has been guaranteed, of which $780,
600, 900 is considered sufficient to do
the tunnelling. The tunnels will be
$50 feet below the surface, thus
avoiding any difficulty with the rivers.
The main tunnel will extend from the
city hall in New York to Fleetwood
park on the north, under Brooklyn to
Coney island on the east, and under
Jersey city to Newark. There will
be four tracks. Freight and passen-
gers will be carried. Passenger trains
will run at full express speed. Ele-
vators will convey freight and pass
engers between the street stations
and tunnel. The plan for carrying
freight will relieve the city streets of
much trucking. Cars will be brought
under the larger stores, and freight
can be lowered directly to them. Ne
gotiations are pending with the city
government for the required permis-
sion to begin work.

out. no it is not in the nature of
things; we as a people have inherit
ed too much of the righteous blood
which quickened in the veins and
strengthened the arms which unload
ed the tea and buried it in the waters
of Boston harbOr. A country that
has loosened and silenced forever the
clanking chains of millions of color
ed men and women, can not much
longer hesitate to grant to its daugh-
tiers their natural right of suffrage.
And especially now is the demand
going to be more imperative and I'M
answerable when the leaders of great
political parties have acknowledged
her ability and paid well for her SER
vices upon the stump, to educate and
convince the male citizen how to ex-
ercise the right that is still denied
to her.
While l am confident that the
grandest results will be accomplished
by the combined strength of our
good men and women; on the basis
of equal rights for all, | wish to close
this address by reading short poem
which came under my eyes a few
days since, entitled ''The Worlds
Good Woman -
Good are as sentineIs; IN the darkest of
earth's night
They hold with stout hearts silently fes outposts
toward the light.
And at God Almighty's roll call, 'mong the hosts
that answer Him,
The voice of good women sound strong and sweet
and clear.
Good women and brave soldiers; in the thicEest of
the fight.
They stand with stout hearts patiently, embattled
for the ri ght,
And tho no blaze of trumpet, or roll of drum is
heard,
Good women. the world over, are an army of the
