The bulletin OF the Paris ticOgrapl,-
ical Society, which has Just been Issued.
contains an account by NJ. Jules Mar
con OF certain further researches which
he has made into tho orisin of TIC name
'.America." AS far back as 1879 he
published II paper on tho same topic
which attracted much attention IT tho
time. and he has since devoted much
labor 10 investigation OF carly historical
documents in which the New World is
named.
The populnr notion that America wus
so crilcl from tho Christian nam, OF
A,nerigo VSspucci Is, he says. wholly
~unfounicd, and he sums up his cDnclu-
sious in this way: l. Ameriquc is the
Indian maine OF tho mountains between
Juigapa and LibcrtId. in tho Province
OF C%hontuIes. which separate Lake Me
uragua from tive Mos luito coast. Tho
word in the Maya language signifies
"ihc windy country" Or ''ihe country
whore the wind blows always , Thu
Christian name OF Nyspuccl WAS Albcr-
leo in Italian and Spanish, Albcricus in
Latin. 3. This particular name is sub
jet To IN enormous number OF ": i'll
tons, rs the uOmcnclatUrcs and Cl,cn-
dur5 OF Italian AMI Spanish Saints Of
the period show; but nowhere is there
n such variation n Amcricus. Amer
rigo, Amcrigiu. Amcrigo &C., and
none Of these is either II diminutivc or
II variation in use in ltaly, Spain or
France TO- Albcrico or Albert. ! Be
fore 1907. when Jean Basin Of Suint-Dic
published tho numc it - not to be
found in any printed document, nor
even in any manuscript of recognized
and i~ncontesta6lc authority.
NJ. Maroon claims that his theory OF
n native origin for tho naGc America
has been accepted in Spain, Spanish
America, and, with s0moc exceptions. in
the United States; in France, Germany
and Italy it has excited doubt and sur
prise, but in the last named he has the
support of tho eminent Turin gcogrgI-
pine, N. Guido Cora. There is no
doubt that Columbus and Nc5pucci went
along the Mosquito coast at thu feet o!
the Sierra AmcriqIc, ard that the
mime was reported b. tho officers n1d
men of these expeditions. &md schooner,
the gcographcr. declared in 1918 that
the name WAS already popular in
Europe.
1t is beyond question that INC edition
Of Ncspucci's lcLtc: on his third voyage
has tho namc Amcrigo in the place OF
thc Christian name; nineteen editions
had Albcricus, and subsequent Italian
editions ha Albcrico. The one with
Aincrigo on the iitIe page was pub
lishcd IN 1906. hut NJ. Maroon suggests
that this waS never intended to DO a va
Ration OF Mbcrico, but rather the
adaptation OF Amcrriquc, IL name al
ready KIN wn and applied TO the now
word, to Vc.puccis name to distinguish
him, as We say now Chinese Gordon.'

suggesting ono OF his greatest fcatS.

if statistics don't belle us, we will have
lost $50, 900 of these little ''prides of the
household" A year later So, 600 more will
be keeping company with those who have
gone before. At the end of the third
year we find that $4,000 more have
dropped by the wayside. The fourth
year they have become rugged little
darlings, not nearly so susceptible to in
fantile diseases, only 5000 having sue
cumbed to the rigors imposed by the
master. By the time they have arrived
at the age of twelve years but paltry
few hundred leave the track each year.
After three score years have come and
gone we find less trouble in counting
the army with which we started in the
fall of 1889.
OF the 1000, 900 with which we began
our count but $40, 900 remain; $50, 600
have gone the way of all the world and
the remaining few have forgotten that
they ever existed. At the end of so, or,
taking our mode of reckoning, by year
1869, A. D., there are still $4,000 gray
haired, shaky old grannies and grand
fathers, toothless, hairless and happy.

Let children Have Pet Dogs.

"Do you know" says doctor, chat a
young dog is the healthiest thing in the
world to bring up young child with? 1
don't mean that the dog shall actually
sleep with the child, but be with it con-
tinually-be played and romped with.
There is something in the mere healthy
animalism of the dog which goes to make
the child healthy. For dog can catch
every disease from a child, and just by
being about can often decrease the yiO-
1cnce of an attack-take off some of the
disease, you know. But a child never
takes a disease from a dog. OF course
the dog should be accommodated to the
infant. 4 delicate baby should not be
with rough and vigorous young dog.
Nor should a healthy and hearty child
have too small companion puppy. To
carry out this principle still further, a
dog is of great benefit in a consumptive's
room. For one in the early stages OF
that disease the constant presence Of a
dog is the best thing know of."-Chi-
