THE Geographical Society OF Paris
has issued bulletin written by NJ.
Jules Marcou, describing the latest
researches into the origin of the name
America" 1t is about seventeen
years since that gentleman gave to
the world his first noteworthy paper
on the subject, and since then he has
accumulated other material, all of
which he claims points to the con-
clusion that there is no warrant for
the generally received notion that
the word is derived from the
Christian name OF Amerigo YES
pucci. He makes the following points:
/. Amerique is the Indian name for
the mountains between Juigalpa and
Libertad, in the Province OF Chon-
tales, which separates Lake Near
aqua from the Mosquito coast. 2.
The Christian name of Vespucci was
indefinite. In Italy it was Alberto,
the same in Spain, and In Latin it is
Xlbericcus. 1t is subject to many
variations under different circum-
stances, as shown in the nomenclature
Of Italian and Spanish saints. But
in neither Of them is there any such
variation as Americas, Amerrigo,
Amerigo, or Almerigo, and none of
these Is either a diminutive or varia-
ton in use in Italy, Spain or France
Ey.r A 81 A . 4, -
to be found in any printed document
or manuscript of incontestable au-
thorit, dating before 1907, when the
name was published by Jean Basin Of
Die. Further, there is no doubt that
Columbus and Vespucci went along
the Mosquito coast at the foot OF the
Sierra Amerique. and that the name
was reported by the officers and men
of those expeditions. In 1915 Schoe-
ner. the geographer, declared that
the name was already popular in
E1rope. How far the deduction by
Marcou is entitled to respect may be
difficult to say. But it ought not to
be forgotten that the memoir by
Vespucci was published at Strasburg
! in 1905, which was some two years
previous to the first of these dates.
1t may also be OF interest to note in
this connection thata New England
Investigator suggests the word Amer
lea must have been derived from the
name of Eric, who came to this coun-
try five centuries before Columbus
voyaged hither. He thinks the m
sound was prefxed to the name by
the natives as a matter Of doubt or
hesitation, and the presence Of the
initial and final can be accounted
for by one person as easily by another.

But mammas seem to think 1t should

hat that child might wear in a W

heavy medieval costumes designed for
children nowadays are grievous bur-
dens for the little toddlers when it
comes to walking with them, and they,
no doubt, in many cases contribute to-
wards making the chile ungainly and
lead him to turn his toes in. My last
illustration pictures a very pretty hat

Chinese Girls.

Unless a Chinese father happens to
be q schoolmaster and at home with
nothing to do, he never thinks of teach
ing his daughter to read; it would be
preposterous. 1t Is like wedding the
field for some other man, or putting a
gold chain around the neck of some one
else's puppy, which may at any time be
whistled off, and then what becomes of
the chain? One of the underlying as
sumptions of Chinese society is that it
is the body of the girl for which the
parents are responsible, and not the
mind. To almost any Chinese it would
probably appear self-evident PROPOSE
ton that to spend time, strength, and.
much more, money in educating the
daughter-in-law of some one else is a
sheer waste.
But she is your daughter, you say to
him.
Not after she is married" he replies;
she Is theirs. Let them educate her
themselves II they want her educated.
Why should teach her to read, write,
and reckon when 1t will never do me any
good1"
With this utilitarian inquiry the edu-
cation OF most Chinese girls has been
banished from human thought for the
space of some millenniums. The anxi-
ETY. which all her friends begin to feel
about Chinese girl as soon as she at
tains any considerable size is exhibited

her whenever she happens to be spoken
of. These inquiries do not concern her

ity, OF which she has, theoretically.

The instructive feeling OF Chinese
