SOME FACTS TO SHOW THAT 1T WAS NOT
TRIBUTE TO vESPUCu.
To the Edttor of The Tribune.
Sir: The popular idea that the name America was
derived from Amerigo Vespucci has been 50 oiteh
and apparently so ably confuted that 1t seems scarcely
worth the time 10 offer more evidence Du' shou"
like 10 offer few remarks in reply TO Inc arlcc
I'm your issue Of the 9th inst In paper worthy oi
high commendaton Mr. Major shows that The hrSt
use of the term America was on the Mappe Monue'
delincatinr the continent Of the New World, which
was executed by Leonardo De Vinci in 1914. Ihls
map has the name America across Tho southern
continent In May, 1907, just year after Columbus
death there appeared book by Martin Waldsccmuller
entitled "Cosmographiae Introducto.' to when was
amended a Latin edition Of the four voyages OF
Vespucci This book was published al ST. De in
Lorraine and in it the author proposed that the
name America be given to the New World. IN
1909 the name appeared in an anonymous WORK
entitled "GIobus MundLS published in Strasburs
NJ Jules Maroon. member OF the Paris Geographical
Society," who has for many years made deep research
in tho early history Of this country, says in an
article in the bulletin of that society The popular
notion that America so called from the CHRISTIAN
name of Amergo Nespucci is wholly umound9u' anu
/ sum up my conclusions. as follows;
Il Amerque is the Indian name Of the mountains
between Jmgalpa and lberiad I'm the iruNm'e Of
Chantales, which separates the Lake Nicaragua lOn
the Mosquito coast. Tho word IN the Maya tongue
signifies the windy country .
10 The Christian name Of Vespucc was Almelfco
in Italian and spanish and Alberius in Latin. This
particular name is subject 70 an enormous number
of variations, as the nomenclature and calendars
of Italian and spanish saints of the period show
but nowhere j. there any such variation "a AmencuS.

Dog Farms.

In Manohuria and Mongolia young
woman's wedding portion consists not always
of so many head Of cattle, but frequently of
SO many dogs, which are to form tho nucleus
of dog farm, these being reared for the
sake of the thick fur with which the dogs In
these bitterly cold regions are so excellently
endowed, as indeed they need to be, seeing
that in midwinter the thermometer Fahren-
heib sometimes falls to 25 deg. below zero, l.
O., 81 deg of frost. This business is as sys-
tematically carried on as Is that of sheep
farming in Australasia, the rate of reproduc-
ton being estimated at 10 per cent. per an
mum; so, reckoning the increase by geomet-
rical ratio, it is evident that the bride who
receives dover of dozen Of these
very large, long haired dogs Is well
started In life But of course the ma
jority of these fine animals are not destined
to survive their first year, as they are full
grown when about 8 months old, and their
fur attains perfection in winter, SO that only
those required for breeding are allowed to
see the spring. All over the northern part
of these vast Mongolian and Manchurian ter
ritories these dog farms are scattered, and
there are thousands in which few hundred
dogs are annually reared for the market,
while others merely raise enough to supply
robes and mats for home Use. There are O
good many cases In which one can scarcely
afford TO think of antecedents, and certainly
this slaughter of perhaps the handsomest
race of dogs in the world for the sake OF their
coats is peculiarly unpleasant. = Blackwood's
Magazine

TRY Not to Cough.

A physician, who Is connected with an In
stitution which contains many children, saysi
There Is nothing more irritating to cough
than to cough. For some time had been 10
fully assured Of this that recently deter
mined, II possible for one minute, at least, to
lessen tho number Of coughs heard in q GER
tain ward in the hospital of the institution.
By the promise Of rewards and punishments
l succeeded in inducing them simply 10 hold
their breath when tempted to cough, and In
little while I was myself surprised to SEQ
how some Of the children entirely recovered
from their disease.
Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching a wound on the outside Of the
body; SO long as 1t Is done the wound win
not heal. Let person when tempted to
cough, draw long breath and hold II until
1t warns and soothes every air cell, and some
benefit will soon be received from the pro-
cess. The nitrogen, which Is thus refined,
acts as an anodyne to the irritated mucous
membrane, allaying the desire to cough and
giving the throat and lungs chance to heal.
At the same time a suitable medicine viii aid
nature in her effort to recuperate. "--Baltt-

Ate Five Dozen Raw Eggs.

A boiler maker named Howe astonished the
epicures at Scheffer 81 Kerlinger's restaurant,
Baltimore, by Offering to bet S. that he could
eat, without intermission, five dozen raw
eggs, shells and all A doubling Thomas ac-
cepted the offer, and the freshest chicken
fruit obtainable was placed before the boiler
maker. The latter, a hale and lusty mechanic,
unbuttoned his vest and prepared for bust
ness. The first two dozen disappeared within
half an hour, the eater apparently enjoying
his meal. He was not so fresh getting away
with the third dozen, and took more time,
still swallowing the fourth. He kept at work,
however, and finally succeeded in dispatch
ing the last twelve, though not without an
effort.
His method was a peculiar one. He took
up one egg after the other, and, after sucking
it dry, tossed the shell into his mouth, and,
after crunching 1t into powder, swallowed
that also. When he had finished his Job he
drew from his pocket beer bottle filed with
alcohol, used In a spirit lamp, and drank
down the fluid. Turning to the astonished
spectators, he offered to eat seven dozen more
without the shell, but no one took him up

Inherited pennilarltie..

case of inherited popularity, which, although
it does not come precisely within tho cate
CORY Of Transmission of an artificial injury, Is
yet worth recording, il only to prove how
trivial marks of parents may reappear in the
offspring. Her first child, boy, at present
aged 81 months, was seen, shortly after birth,
to possess two small holes, each about the size
of pins head, in "the upper part of each of
his cars The mothers attention was drawn
TO the peculiarly BY her husband who re.
marked the fact tof which tin then she was
completely ignorant, that he possessed the
same marks, situated In precisely the same
position, us they occupied in Nilsson. Further
inquiry amongst tho relatives showed that
thechilds grandfather ION the paternal side)
possessed the same popularity Of ears. No
information could be obtained respecting the
original cause of the popularity. 1t is
striking to find such markings, not only so
faithfully propagated, but descending strictly
on tho male side for three generations. There
is no trace of the marks in the second child
girl--of the family. Herald of Health.

Mustard.

Only the best mustard is worth having, but
the authorizations and tricks Of preparation
arc SO many that tho best is hard to get.
Much depends on the method of preparation.
When good mustard is carefully ground and
so carefully sifted that only 80 or 40 per cent.
Of the weight is saved as table mustard, a
first class article is the result. Some poor
stuff made from the rejected hulls is sold,
with cayenne pepper added to give it n "bite."
Mustard is largely adulterated by admix-
lures of turmeric and corn meal Generally,
the quality Of mustard can safely be judged
by its price, and the cheapest is really tho
dearest. The yellow English mustard is
best for table use. California mustard is SO
rich in oil that some Of the oil is expressed
before the mustard Is sold to prevent it from
becoming rancid-hence its unsatisfactory
quality. Brown mustard is mostly used in
medical practice. Good Housekeeping

The man was very good natured fellow,
but Of so little intellectual capacity that
though he came to Mr. Winners music store
night after night to learn the words Of tho
song, he was never able to master more than
one verse of it. Such, however, was his
sense Of tho comic and such his facility In Inn
provising lines to the music, suggesting ridl-

'Mocking Bird" soon added greatly to Dicks
local reputation. The song was published In
ballad form, and at once became very popular,
and such Is its hold upon the public fancy that
although 1t has been sung and whistled and
played the country over for an average life
time, it still retains its place as song Of ma
tional reputation. Philadelphia Record
