THE NAME OF AMERICA.

Origin Of tao Sumo. as Told at the Inter.
national Congress In Paris.
The discussion on the origin of the
name America was opened at the Inter
national congress of Americauists in
Paris by M. Jules Marcou, who assert
ed, says Science, that the name Ameri-
ca was derived from u range of noun
tains in Central America, which, in the
language OF the natives, is called
"Amerique," and Vcspucci never bore
the Christian name of "Amerigo," be-
cause this latter is not saints name in
the Italian calendar; and, further, that
he changed his name "Alberico" to
'Amerigo" for the first time after the
name by which the new world is now
commonly known began to be used in
order to cause 1t to be believed that the
continent was SO named in his honor.
But M. Govi proved two years ago
that the name "Albcrco' is in the Flor
entinc language identical with "Ameri-
60" and that Vespucci, before the year
1900, sometimes subscribed himself
"Amerigo" appears from n letter re-
Gently discovered among the archives of
the duke of Gonzaga at Mantua- This
point was corroborntcd by the Spanish
~AAiA>i iNoiiisoe, DO Id lcLLcrS
and pamphlets preserved in the Archiv
Gle las Indias at Seville, in which Yes
pucci sometimes calls himself "Alberi-
CO." and sometimes "An,erigo." En-
PEASANT, the Spanish savant mentioned
the interesting fact that the first SO
called ''quatnor navigationcs" was not
made by Vespucci at all.
M. Hamy adduced further interest
ing proof of the incorrectness Of NJ. Mar
cou's contention in the shape of u map
OF the world, prepared in the year 400
by the photographer Vallescu, OF Nal
lorca, on the back Of which is note to
the effect that the map was bought in
at an auction by the merchant of Ameri-
go Vespucci for one hundred and TWEEN
ty gold ducats. Further, the general
secretary of the congress, NJ. Pector,
pointed out that, according to u com
municaton received from the president
Of the Nicaragua, the range of noun

Traveller, Landlord and wildcat.

The Atlanta Constitution tells good
story Of Il traveller who stopped at IL
Lee county hotel short time ago The
landlord had just bought live wildcat,
which was chained in the yard that
night. When the landlord went through
the house putting out the lights, which
worked up and down with chain, the
traveller thought the noise was the
growing of wild beast. 1t seemed to
come nearer and nearer, and he was
convinced that the wildcat had escaped
and was dragging its chain through the
house. lie stood it as long as possible,
but remembering that he had left his
door ajar, became greatly excited,
sprang from the bed, made a dash for
the window in his night-clothes and
jumped to the ground. The proprietor
saw him, and thinking that he was
about to jump his board bill made a
break for him, the town marshal Join
ing in the chase. They ran him nearly
mile down the railroad track, when
thinking that the wildcat was close ut
his heels, and being unable to run
further, the traveller climbed tree and
was captured.

UNCLE JOE IRwIN's FISH JOKE.
How He Got q Great Mess of Rock and

How He Got Great Mess of Rock and
Striped Bass on the Potomac.
Uncle Joe Irwin, the veteran disciple
OF Izaak Walton, relates n good story of
the why in which he once secured u fine
string of bass and rock fish that Ind

few weeks at Washington, d. c., and
one day went out for days sport with

Georgetown, place noted for bass,
rock fish and white perch.

some fishermen landing q seine. was
anxious to see what luck they were hav-
ing and waited until they began to throw
out their fish. I noticed they had largo
baskets in which they put their shad
and herring, but occasionally noticed
the grass of the meadow that ndjoined
in the District of Columbia in regard to
taking game fish during certain seasons,
and soon became satisfied that it was
not the intention of tho fishermen to
throw them back into the river as tho
law EcqulTeU, auO rs L was u Stranger

risk of putting them into the baskets in
my presence. I then concluded to play

that the fish were not worth cent

told the boy who was carrying my habit

string them. as I might not be lucky
enough to catch any myself and poor
fish would be better than none and save
me from being laughed ct on going
back to the capital. The boy obeycd
orders, selecting the finest to be found,
and filed the fish baskets. thanked the
fishermen kindly and started Off for my

Two Plants Containing Valuable Sanitary
Qualities.
The watcrcrcss is 4 plant containing
very sanitary qualities. A curious
characteristic of it is that, if grown in q
ferruginous stream, it absorbs into
itself five times the amount of iron that
any other plant does. For all anmmic
constitutions it is, therefore, specially
of value. But it also contains proper
tions of garlic and sulphur, of iodine
and phosphates, and is IL blood purifier,
while abroad it is thought most whole
some condiment with meat, roast or
grilled. The cultivated plant is rather
more easy of digestion than the wild
one. Botanically the onion belongs to
the lily family. The odor of the vcgc-
table, which is what makes it so IN
pleasant, is due to Il volatile oil, which
is the sa ne as that in garlic, though in
the onion it is mildcr and naturally does
not last so long. There are, besides,
easy ways of removing ut once all I'M
pleasantness from the breath. A little
parsley or few grains of coffee, or
even swallow or two Of milk, if taken
after eating, proves an effective rene
dy. Boiled onions are the least obicc-
tionablc in regard to odor, and are as
easily digested as any. The oil in the
onion passes of in the water in which
the vegetables are boiled, and ii the
kettle be kept closely covered and the
water changed after they have boiled
five minutes, and then again ten min

the house, and the onions will be white
instead of gray, as they SO often are.
Besides being rich in flcsh-forIring ele-
mcnts, raw onions are especially good
in breaking up heavy cold, they are
also stimulating to fatigucd persons and

A self-expanding life-belt is the lat

paratus. This continuance is made of
elastic material. and it's interior is di-

alternately acids and alkalies. After
being applied there is cord at each
side of the person, which. being pulled,
allows the chemicals to como together,
producing gas which gives buoyancy
to the belt. A modification of this in

being to throw this belt overheard to
