PATH OF THE CHOLERA.

Dispatches today Indicate the near
approach of the cholera, it having
reached London from Hamburg, and is
expected from the saiue source at Kew
York within a short time. The first
warnings of the London Lancet are now
regarded with more Significance, and
that paper now takes the ground that
it is the duty of the hour to prepare for
the invasion, as IL its coming were as
sured. For this reason the Lancet ad-
vises the Immediate opening OF training
schools for cholera nurses. Unless this
training is begun at once, it Gays, we
are likely to find ourselves in the grasp
of the epidemic without Il staff OF nurses
capable of attending the sick. The pa
per declares that ordinary nurses can
not deal properly with cholera patients.
A special training is required. In Civ
ing its reasons for predicting the en-
trance of the disease into England, the
Lancent argues that the rapidity with
which the infection has travelled, by the
aid of German railways carrying Rus
sian emigrants to the North sea, has
brought US face to face with type of
the disease having all the virulence of
the Asiatic form.
New York papers say all prccedents
Of previous cholera epidenics point to a
greater danger TO the United States the
year following an outbreak in Europe
than in the same year, but the sanitary
officials Of the United States express the
opinion that the advances made in tho
sanitation and the methods Of disinfec-
ton, and the increased knowledge ac-
auired of the germs of the malignant
disease since the last serious cholera
visitation, will enable them to break the
precedents and ward of an epidemic al
together. In our southern ports, nota-
bly, at Charleston, the summer quaran-
tine, which is always strictly enforced,
is in operation. One extra precaution
has been taken; the quarantine station
has boen provided with the Hoel sys-
tenn OF steam sanitation and disinfec-
tion, and is very complete.
All vessels arriving hereafter from
these ports will be detained at all quar-
antine stations of the south Atlantic
ports. No vessel is expected at San
Francisco from any affected port before
the middle of December.

Eye experts insist that people who
wish to preserve their eyesight will do
we'll to confine their reading as far as
possible to round, fat-faced typo, and to
avoid that which is tall and thin. 1t
was the shape of the typo of the tiny
edition of Dante produced at the French
exposition almost as much as its minute
ness which blinded some of the persons
engaged in correcting the sheets. An
other important point is to avoid too
wide a column, or the eye is strained.
The only way to neutralize the tendency
to such strain is to turn the head from
side to side after the manner of short
sighted-people. The width of column
of reading matter ought not to exceed
at the outside two inches, because that
is about the natural range Of the eye
when the head Is kept motionless.

COWARDICE OF SUICIDE.
An Act that Reflects Shame and Dis
grace.

An Act that Reflects Shame and Dis
What Aristotle says of the mean COW
ardicc of suicide can not be too often
reiterated or too strongly emphasized.
The man who takes his own life to get
out of trouble simply tries to run away,
and in most instances, to shift onto
other shoulders the burden he wants TO
shirk. 1t is scarcely possible to con-
ceive Il case in which suicide
does not entail bitter distress
upon circle larger or smaller
of the criminals friends At the
very least it subjects those to whom he
most owes consideration to the sharp
est grief and shame that can befall sem
sitivc and right-minded persons. The
only safe position, the only position
that BELTS intelligent and self-respect-
ing men and women, not to speak of
Christians, is the uncompromising posi-
ton of utter and exceptionless con-
demnation. No possible warrant or
palliation can be even limited at. Every
where, always, suicide Is sneaking,
abject, vile act. In the wholesome
words of a minor English poet:
The misernblest day we live
There's many better thing to do than die.

ORIGIN OF "lLLlNols."
nc 10 Believed to BE of Latin Rather Tina
Indian Derivation.

Indian Derivation.
There are in the Spanish language o
very great number of words derived
from the original Latin form: But n
lew OF them have been changed. Some
words that in Latin with the letters pl,
IN Spanish begin the letters IL.
1t is familiar to all writer's that, in
western Texas, Capt. John Pope, after,
ward major-general, surveyed and
staked out line of road through the
Rio Grande. The plains over which the
road was surveyed aftcrward became
marked upon the map as the "Llanos
Estacados." In the army had n com.
panion who had been a member OF
that surveying trip, and he explained
10 me the name us meaning 1.-The
Stalsed Palms." saying that there was
dialect in Spain that pronounced
the letters II the same rs pl. This man
was a fluent Spanish speaker, and had
hved In Spanish-spealsing countries for
several years, besides serving in the
regular army. There may be some
doubt about the special dialect to which
he referred.
shortly after receiving that informa-
ton, nearly thirty years ago, l saw an
old map of the United States, and across
the place where Illinois now stands
We're marked the words "Llanos In
dlans." These were the Indians of the
plains, and the name came from the
early Spanish settlement.
In the year 1900 the province of
Louisiana was coded by Spain to
France, from whom we obtained il.
The Spanish pronunciation of the
word llanos might probably be repre-
serted in English by the word el-lc.ah-
nos.
There is but n very small transition
from the Spanish pronunciation passing
up, as it did, through the French, and
then converted into English. The name
of Illinois, if SO derived. is "plains."
and the term is very significant, be-
cause there is no state in the Union
that is lcvelcr than the state of ILL
nois. 1t is vastly more level than either
Iowa, Nebraska or Kansas The latter
state has variations of over three thou
sand feet in its levels, and is mountain
Gus as compared with Illinois. Its vast
INLAND prairies, inhabited by Indians.
very properly gave to those Indians the
name of the "Llanos" Indians. Hence
IL is reasonable to believe that the word
illinois is of Latin origin, and has no
derivation whatever from Indian lam
