ORIGIN OF THE WORD CrBA.

Cuba, says The Literary Era" is the name by
which the island was originally known to the Lu-
cayan Indians, who were with Columbus when he
discovered it. One Of its villages or cities was
called by them Cubanacan, and it is reported that
from the similarity Of sounds Columbus still sup
posing himself TO be on the of Asia, imagined
that this must be city of Kuba Khan. the Tartar
sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo. The survival
OF the original name for Cuba is a remarkable in
stance or persistence as the island has been bap-
tZed and rebapttzed many times since ts Furo-
pean discovery. Columbus first called II Juana in
honor or Prince John the son of Ferdinand and isa-
bella. After Ferdnand's death IL was called in
his memory, Ferdinandina. Subsequently this name
was changed TO Santiago, after ST. James the
patron saint OF Spain, Still later 1t was named
Ave Maria. in honor of the Virgin Mary. But none
OF these names held, and the Indian name is still
preserved $1,000 - S''i'

TALES OF MEN AND THINGS
NURSE WHO COUNTED HER PULSE
WHEN A PATIENT-EELS AND CAT
FISH-FISHING IN THE PACIFIC.

In one Of the hospitals Of the city recently
trained nurse of the patients Although
nursing was her profession. she decidedly not
a success a patient. for she spent much of her
time counting her pulse. About every ten minutes
she would count II too fast or too slow and call
for help. This popularity led one OF the other
nurses to tell l,: Of Southern doctor who awoke
that he aroused his wife and asked her TO count
slowly that the agonized physician leaped up with
the cry, Ny God! I'm dyingl' Subsequent in
was due to the sleepiness of the wife and not to
a failure Of nature.
At dinner given the other evening the fish
course consisted of a delicate looking dish. De
hcious to the taste. the guests freely partook of
1t. until the hostess asked If any could guess
what it was. No could, and the hostess
volunteered the information that 1t consisted Of
cells. At this two and three women turned
delicate shade of green. and all but three of
those at the table suddenly and emphatically de-
clined to try the course further
IT'S all bally prejudice OF course" said one Of
the men later in the smoking room. but although
l was enjoying the dish before | knew what IL
was, afterward I wouldn't have swallowed piece
of it for kings ransom. 1t reminded me of an
old chap who used to live out the Mississippi.
He was inordinatey fond of catfish. but could
never persuade his wife to taste OF them. 1t
bothered him that he finally decided to deceive
her into eating He cooked and served It
himself so that his wife saw nothing of the dish
until mt lit, 4 was on the table.
What is itT she inquired. 'Blueklt.' he
swered, ingenuously. What's that? Try IL and
you'll see said he, and she did. and liked It. SO
well did II please her that she back for more
and then, the joke being good to keep, he
explained that 'bluekit' stood for catfish.
He told me later that he never intended TO in
terfere with his wife again TO seek to extend
her menu. For years ausion to catfish brought
chastened expression to his countenance. Once
in a burst OF confidence, he told that he had
had no idea that his wife had great a command
of language until the time when she gave her
opinion on the subject of 'bluekit.'

What Your Temperature
Should Be.

The temperature of the body of
q healthy person varies from about
972 to $751; degrees F. It is lowest
between 2 a. m. and 4 q. m, and
highest in the afternoon between 4
p. m. The body may feel hot or
cold at different times, but its actual
temperature does not alter by as
much as a single degree, whether a
person in good health is at the hot
test or coldest parts of the earth,
eating or fasting, at rest or taking
violent exercise.
