ORIGIN OF THE WORD CUBA.

Cuba IS the name by which the island
was originally known to the Lucayan
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 SINH
larity OF sounds Columbus, still sup
posing himself to be Oh the coast OF
Asia, imagined that this must be a city
Of KubIa Khan, the Tartar sovereign
celebrated by Marco Polo. The survival
OF the original name for Cuba is q re-
markabIe instance OF persistence, as the
island has been baptized and rebsptized
many times since its European discov-
cry. Columbus first called it Juan, in
honor OF Prince John. the son OF Ferdi-
nand and Isabella. After Ferdinand's
death it was called. in his memory.
Fernandina. Subsequently this name
was changed to Santiago. after ST.
James, the patron saint of Spain Still
later it was named Ave Maria, in honor
OF the Virgin Mary. But none Of these
names held. and the Indian name is still
preserved.-Literary Era.

The BigOtry of SkePticism.

sons that the Impressive services at the
funeral OF so remarkable and useful 4
woman as Dr.. NJ E. Zakrzewska sbcyId
have been mdrred by the reading Of a
paper like that written by her for fare
well. That she should wish to express
the fact of her lifelong interest and eff
fort TO do good as an occasion of salts
faction to the very last. that she should
recall with gratitude the constant sym
patty and affection OF her friends and
bid them loving good-by is natural.
But that she should assert positively
that she was about to enter a sleep from
which she should never arise. that her
soul would have no other than her earth
" existence. is very sad. How can she
know it? The wisest and best of human
beings in all ages have had aspirations
toward Immortality, have had hopes for
the further development OF the spiritua,
part Of their being; and yet here is
person who says it will not be-not thet
it may not be. but that hers is sleep
from which she shall not arise. How
does she know this as certainty. even
if she considers herself to have carried
out all the ideal of her beingZ Can the

THE PANAMA ROUTE BEST
FOR THE NTEROEANIC CANAL
By Senator Il. A. HANNA.

7 HAVE always been heartily IN favor of the
/ struction OF an interoceanie canal by the United
States Government In view Of the fact that l am
not an engineering expert, feel it incumbent upon me
TO pay due heed the unanimous report made by the
Isthmian Canal Commission in which they recommend
without qualification the adoption of the Panama
for the use of the waterway.
In view of the fact that the commission was ap-
pointed for the purpose of making thorough investiga
ton and advising Congress the subject 1 do not feel
that we can Lightly throw aside It's conclusions and the
results of It's findings.
Upon subject which has ever been before Con
gress has much been written and spoken upon the
sthmian canal The Of printed matter alone is so
huge that it would be impossible for Senators even to
examine IT, and we're such examination necessary, all
hope of ever reaching an agreement upon the subject
must be abandoned. But that is not necessary. Ger
tam fundamental points have been settled by consen
of public opinion and longer need discussion and
upon all technical questions the thorough reports of the
Isthman Canal Commission supersede and render obso
Iete all that has ever preceded them.
The general points which now have been settled are
these:
First. That there must be canal across the Amer
isthmus.
Second That the canal must be built owned con
troled and protected by the United States.

Before the passage of the act of March 8, 1899, no
