The name America has long been
supposed to have been derived from
Amerigo Vespucci, but Mr.. Thomas
de St Bots challenges this tradition in
a pamphlet on The Discovery and
Origin of the Name of America.
He seems to establish conclusively the
fact that it is really of native origin.
and that South America-in which the
Spaniards made the first settlements
was known as Amaraca Hama. or
Amaraca land. This fact was we'll
known and unquestioned until Ludd's

ABOUT MIDDLE AGE.

Why II Should He One OF the Most Beaus
tiful Seasons OF Life.
Age commands attention because il
is age, youth because it is youth. The
one is supposed to rest and have q
good time because it is beyond the
cares and exactions of life, the other
because it has not yet reached them.
But what Of middle age, that highly re-
spectacle but plodding and generally
considered prosy and uninteresting
period? It is true that during this
period the labors, cares and response
bilities of life, as a rule. weigh heav-
lest upon US. and yet it need not be
barren of joy and romance.
Middle life will be to us what we
choose to make it. 1t brings its own
friends. its own peculiar pleasures, if
we will only accept them; and its
trials and cares enable US to enjoy
even more than we did the companions
and joys of youth. Indeed, if we
have lived and developed as we should,
we discover fullness, satisfaction
in the blessings of middle age that we
perceive was lacking in those Of
youth. The springs of joy as we'll as
the springs of sorrow rise from q
deeper source. Life should be pro-
gressive; each stage should be PEE
riod of preparation for the next. II
it is thus viewed and accepted We
shall find that time, so far from rob-
bing us of joy at each successive stage
of our earthly existence, brings it to
US in richer forms, thus gradually
preparing us for that unspeakable
bliss which "eye hath not SEEM" of
which lear hath not heard"
Middle life. if rightly considered. is
a beautiful season. While it still re-
tains, or should retain. much of the
poetry, romance, beauty and fire of
youth, these are tempered. softened.
ripened as it were by the experience
and wisdom of added years. Thus it
is brought into sympathetic rela-
tionship with both youth and age.
which opens up to it wide field for
usefulness. The demands upon those
in middle life are certainly great
Elder loved ones are still with US and
about US looking to US for comfort
sympathy and support Youth de-
mands of US not only guidance, but
warm interest and more or less partic-
ipation in its pursuits and pleasures.
which we must cheerfully render if
we would win and retain its confidence |
and affection.
Middle age is the autumn Of life.
and like that season should be rich in
fruitage to both delight and nourish.
Let not those, then. who have passed
their spring and summer look back
upon the past with regret, or forward
TO the future with forebodings, but re-
ioice in and make the most of their
glorious present--Chris tian at Work.

! am certain that II, in France, you searched
into the hearts Of the people, you would find
there much less atheism than In many other
countries Religious belief seems to b the
aPpanage Of the royalist party, and other
people think they mako a show of republt-
canism by throwing over the belief Of the
rOyGlists Tho religious man is rather looked
upon Us q political enemy than ns n religious
antagonist. This is the true explanation Of
much apparent ngnosticism in France. 1t
must also DO remarked that plenty of royal
lists only affect piety and go regularly To
church as a protest against repubicanism,
and that many republicans may DO excused
for taking this display of religion for On act
Of hostility towards their pet institutions.

CHAPTER ky.

/ had just returned from America, and
was sitting in the smoking room of the North
Western Hotel, Liverpool. 1 was chatting
with an American fellow passenger on the
Atlantic voyage, while admiring st. Georges
hall, which stands opposite. This magnifi-
cent building, which serves as a palace of JUS
tice, is the finest modern ediiice of the En-
glish provinces.
All at once we heard a blast of trumpets.
A crowd rushed toward the hall, and lined
tho flight of stops leading to the grand en-
trance. Heralds and lackeys, all bedizened
with scarlet and gold, presently descended
tho steps, followed by police officers. Sew
eral carriages then drove up. From one of
them there alighted n man arrayed in q scar
let robe and e~rrfine tippet and wearing a pow
dered wig. The scarlet robe, followed by
the cortego which had formed, ~solemnly
mounted the steps between the crowd, which
stood gazing with open mouthed and wide
eyed admiration.
What show is there going on oppositeT'
asked tho American, in the easy going tone
that so distinguishes the Yankee.
He was an innocent abroad"
my dear sir, 1 said to him, 'it is simply
a judge going to try n thief or two. England
honors her criminals with a great deal of
parade, as you see."
My American was silent for a few minutes.
He was probably adding up the salaries of
the judge, the police officers, heralds and
ushers, tho lawyers fees, the cost of the
building, carriages and show generally, and
no doubt comparing tho total with the pound
or two stolen from his employers by a dis
honest clerk, for whom all this grand repre-
sentation was taking place.
Nothing is more simple than an American
court of justice. -Four walls innocent of dec
Grafton of any kind, a few plain chairs or
benches. No uniforms, no robes, no wigs, no
trumpets, no liveried ushers. The judge and
the barristers are in black frock coats. The
ushers not quite 50 well dressed as the harris
ters las a rule, and that Is all.
In France, we pay a legion, q host rather,
of judges and police officers, to look after
our security, and never should we dream of
helping them in the exercise of their func-
tons If a crime remain wrapped In mys-
terry, we say to ourselves: 81 pay tho police;
it is for them to discover the criminal; 1t is
