As to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name of Florida to the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
an old book published i'm 1I63: Gave
1t the name of Florida because 1t was
first seen on Easter, called Pasqua de
flores in the language of his country
men, or, as Herrera alleges, because it
was covered with flowers and the most
beautiful blossoms" And the Farmer
adds: Those who have seen the East
er season in Florida and the wealth Of
fiowes which still commemorate and
adorn its return, can well believe that
both these reasons influenced the CIV
ing of its name."-Meehan's Monthly.

THE SPLITTING HABIT.
Correction of the Practice Should
Begin while Young

Boys should early be taught the
Nervousness of the offense of splitting
both from the basis of decency and
danger to public health. 1t Is much
easier to prevent the formation of a
habit Of this kind in boy than to cor
rect ii In man, and herein lies the
mothers part in the warfare against
splitting.
NO extension of woman's rights is
necessary to make mother 4 power in
this neglected realm. All that is re-
quired is return to duty once faith
fully discharged-but in the rush Of
modern life neglected-the vigilant ma
terral supervision of boys during the
years in which their habits are formed.
The boy who is taught that to spit on
the hearth, the steps-anywhere about
the house-is an infringement upon the
rights of the family that will not be
tolerated, is not likely, as n man. to in
fringe upon the rights of the public by
splitting upon the sidewalks, or the
floors or steps of public buildings, or in
the cars.
In the meantime, however there is n
generation of full-grown, active spit
tiers TO be reckoncd with in the interest
OF the public health, and it is the opin-
ion of those who have given careful at
tention to the matter that these can be
reached more effectively by the dis
semination of knowledge upon the sub
ject than by city ordinance or state
law.-Trenton Star Gazette.

II shouldn't have thought it," slowly
replied the chemist. Her complexion

DESPICABLE WORK.
Incendiaries Make Another Effort to
Burn st. Peter.

A disastrous fire occurred in st. Peter
Saturday evening. The Lampert Lum-

stock valued at $4,000, was totally
destroyed; also the residence Of Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Stark. 1t was valued at $1,000.
The st. Peter furniture factory was
saved by the work of the fire depart
ment.
The fire was started by a firebug, as
the sheds and lumber were saturated
with oil. This is the third attempt at
setting fires within month. The
hydrant wrenches were missing from
the engine house when the alarm was
turned In, and it is supposed they were
taken by the firebug to delay getting
water to the fire. The entire city was
threatened for time, but Mt III o'clock
the flames were under control.

Worse Than the Dreyfus Case.

Who are we've Anne ricans-that
we should howl down France and the

Dreyfus ? AS nation we are guiltier
than France was when Dreyfus was

than France will be if Dreyfus be re-
condemned. Thirty-four years ago
there sat court martial in the city Of
Washington pretending to try man
acled and fettered woman on the
trumpped up charge of being accessory
to murder. From its doors she was
led forth to execution. The hanging
OF Mrs. Surratt was more shameful
than the Punishment of Capt. Dreyfus.
The records of that trial show th.t
what was accepted as evidence by
Stanton's court martial far overbears
in lawlessness and turpitude anything
accepted as evidence in the Rennes
Tribunal.-Easton Ledger.

The Baldwin District Fair Associa.
tlOn, under an entire new management.
will give an exhibit at the Fair
Grounds, this city, during the first
week in October. The Association
has every reason to believe that its ex-
hlblt will be success, and we are of
those who believe it will and who be.
lleve 1t should. 1t is true that the
dates OF the Fair are the same as those
OF the Carnival, but this should in no
wise interfere, as the two will be sepa-
rate and distinct. During that week
many thousand people are expected to
visit our city and of these there will be
many who will come on account of the
Fair. Both the Carnival and the
Baldwin Fair are for the advancement
OF our county and city and just why
one should be praised aad the other
damned is beyond our comprehension.
We want to see the Fair made a sue
cess and we want the Carnival to
eclipse anything yet attempted, but
We cannot hope for such a happy COZ
ditlon unless jealousy be cast aside
and all work together for the good of
both. County fairs are good things
and no sane man can advance single
re ason why Augusta county should
not have the best in the South. To
oar visitors IN October The SPECTA-
TOR hopes to point with pride to orr
M lgniicent city, cur productive and
county, the Baldwin Fair
and the Trades Carnival.
