NEVER HEARD OF JAPAN.

pom for Last 1900 or 1900 Years.
The vast majority of the Japanese
have never heard of Japan. They
call their country Nihon, or Nippon,
and even that name has only been in
use for thirteen or fourteen centuries.
Before that it was called Yamato,
which is properly the name of one of
the provinces.
Since the Japanese have traced a
resemblance between the position of
their islands off Asia and the British
islands off Europe and have deter
mined on founding an empire like the
British empire, they have called their
country Dali Nippon-Great Japan-as
we call ours Great Britain.
Probably Marco Polo is responsible
for the Japanese islands never being
called by their own name in foreign
countries. He heard the Chinese talk
ing about a country which, being still
further east than China, they called
Jih-Pen-sun-origin, a Chinese way of
expressing the place that the sun

Once, when there was little work at

would be job carrying a hod.

smith promptly.
Years afterward, while an imposing
edifice was being erected in Chicago
for DR.. Collyer, he was standing

NOT A JOYOUS HONEYMOON.

GaribaIdi and His Bride Passed It In
the Saddle Fighting for Freedom.
The honeymoon of Garibaldi and
his wife Anita was a campaign of bril-
liant sea fights that would have done
credit to John Paul Jones. AT it's dis
astrOus ending, when their ammuni-
ton was exhausted and it was time to
cannon-shot, helped to lay the trains
to blow up the vessel and was the last
over the rail as the ship went to the
bottom of the sea. To the woods they
went and there began Garibaldi's
greater career as one Of the military
marvels of the century.
In the service of Rio Grande do Sui,
with military supplies always at the
zero point, this picturesque soldier
developed a genius for battle, a skill
in retreat, a persistence in pursuit and
a patience in camp that amazed the
Brazilians, endeared him to his fol-
lowers and made him the idol of
Anita. 1t was a war of magnificent
distances and short rations. Hand-to.
hand fights with the bayOnet and 100-
mile flights over vast stretches of
treeless plain and painless wilderness
were the lot of all who in those
days rode with Garibaldi. Whether
it was the heart-breaking retreat
with privations and sufferings almost
unthinkable-or the tireless pursuit.
only little less savage In it's terrors,
Anita rode with the general.
At the end of one of the forced
marches-a flight of unusual length
and great hardship-Menotti was
born. Twelve days thereafter the de-
voted mother, the embodied spirit Of
the splendid trooper, was again in the
saddle. With the child in her arms
and her carbine at her back. she was
in her usual place at the head of the
column.-National Magazine.

Historic Accuracy,

tour of Europe.
A tall young soldier took Mr.. Bryan
through the historic house, pointing
out each object of interest with long
stick.
Ere, SIR he said, in one of the
state chambers, "'ere is an ancient

work"
Mr.. Bryan looked at the portrait,
and there was a long, impressive 81

for any other reason the visitor final
