In his early youth Count Tolstoi de-
termined never to marry, and on the
strength of this resolution sold the
family mansion, which was torn down
and removed, except one wing, which
he reserved for his bachelor quarters.
At the age of 80 Tolstoi changed his
mind, and married. His wife, once
celebrated beauty. belongs to a noble
family of German origin. She was
only l6 when married and has borne
the count sixteen children nine OF
whom are living. Left almost to her
own resources in domestic and prac-
teal affairs, she has risen to the oc-
casion, and manages the estates and
the counts private business matters
with a firm hand. Nine. Tolstoi does
not share the socialistiC beliefs OF her
talented husband, and but for her
shrewd and firm management the es-
tate would long ago have been impov-
erished, Their house for many years
has been full of nurses. governesses
and preceptors, as well as children.

A COM ON SAW.
Under the Rose" Is Derived from An
Client Greek Mythology.


cient Greek Mythology.
In Greek mythology the rose was tae
symbol of silence. as 1t rs said that
cupid, the son of Venus, gave the god
OF silence a golden rose as a bride to
conceal the amours of the goddess of
love. 1t was, therefore, s~ulptured on
the ceilings of banqueting halls and
placed as sign above the doors of
questionable resorts. Guests at feasts
were crowned with roses. to intimate
that their conversations while in their
cups were not to be repeated else
where. The phrase obtained currency
in Greece after Pausanias, the admiral
or the Greek fleet. plotted with Xerxes
to betray the cause of the Greeks by
surrenderng the ships, the negotia-
lions being conducted in q small ban
quoting hall, the roof OF which was, as
usual, covered with sculptuied roses.
The plot, however. was discovered and
orders given for the arrest of the trait
or. Pausanias endeavored to make
his refuge in temple which possessed
the right of asylum. Unwilling to
violate the sanctity OF the place by
forcibly removing him and still more
unwilling to allow him to escape, his
FELLOW citizens walled up every en-
trance and, by one account. left him
to die OF starvation; by another, killed
him by unroofns the building and

A CONTINENTS NAME.
America Not famed After vespucoi. Says
Historian.


That America derives its name from
Amerigo Vespucci has long been re-
garded as certainty. Now, however,
a historian comes forward and as
sures us that this is not the case.
This historian is Ricardo Palma, d.
rector of the National Library of Lima,
Peru. In book which has just been
published he insists that America was
not named after Amerigo Vespucci, but
that, on the contrary, Amerigo Vespuc-
CT was named after America. Senior
Palma. who has studied the subject
hrst name was Alberico. THE name
America he says. lis derived from a
place in Nicaragua being the name of
a hill in the province of Chanvoles.
Furthermore. the penulti-late syllable
lie Is very often found in the words
used by the Indians of South America
ard by the natives of the Antilles.
The syllable itself signifies something
large and lofty, and Is found in the
names of non-volcanic mountains"
lie further points out that Columbus
ala not use the word America" in his
letters when he referred TO the events
OF MS hrst voyage. 1T Is more than
probable" he continues, that he
learned through one of ! Is attendants
OF the discovery of gold by some ma
tives in place called America. In
this way 1t Is likely that thename grad
ualiy became known throughout Eu-
rope At that time to only geo.
graphical account of the Western Hem
lsphere was the one by Alberico Yes
pucci, which was puhli7hed in Latin in
1905. and in German in 1908. Geogra-
piers presumably came to the con-
cluslon that Alberico hal given the
name America not merely to a single
MIL or mountain. but to the entire
country. When the first map of the
continent bearing the title Province
OF America was published in BARGE
Iona in 1922 Columbus and his COM
panions were long dead, and there
was no one to protest against the mis-
use OF the name. Furthermore, there
was no one in all Europe who bore
the name Amerigo and. as Vespucci's
name was Alberico, geographers and
historians would surely have given the
new continent this name II they had
desired to honor him in this fashion.
Newly discovered countries were, only
named after sovereisns. we see in
the case OF Georgia. Louisiana. Mary
land and the Philippines. and when ex-
piorers did give names to countries
they selected those of their own fam
lies. as we see In the case OF Vancouver
and Magellan. The origin Of such
places as Columbia and Colon can also
be clearly traced"

Willie Sing, an Americanized China
man of Bristol, Conn, has an acre and
half of land, on which he raises
Chinese vegetables. The heads of let
tuce he raises weigh almost ten pounds
each. and resemble cabbage, only that
the leaves are more tender. He also
raises a variety of beans, the pods of
which measure ten inches in length.
Willie cultivates a clingins vine, sup
ported on poles, the leaves of which
are shaped like summer squashes, and
the vegetables look like American
gourds. These furnish the basis of
Chinese soup, and bring a good price
in the market. He raises citron, ginger
root, and numerous other Chinese mar
ket vegetables, for which he finds a
ready market in the cities OF Connecti-
cut.

The Seafarers.

They listened to the seashelrs tale
They watched the sea birds circing
flight.
They echoed back the boatman's hail
They fed the tide of mimic fright
They clambered DER the rocky height
They hid In caves whore waters roar;
Their voices rose In shrill delight
Where roll the breakers on the shore.
Their childhood passed. they pierced the
veil
That distance hung before their sight;
Soft foreign breezcs filed their sail
OF tropic storm they knew the might
The sun by day, the stars by night
Were guides for them the oceans Ger;
The beacon flashed its welcome light
Where roll the breakers ON the shore.
Thor rugged strength began to fan
Ears were less keen and eyes less
bright
And they no longer DER the rail
Watched home and kindred fade from
sight.
They waited for the coming night
With simple faith 'twould soon be DER;
Their weary frames rest on the height
Where roll the breakers on the shore.
Prince, with thy funeral train bedight
And royal dirGe. what hast thou more
Than those they laid with a simple rite
Where roll the breakers on the shore7
