Where America Was Named.

finally bestowed the name America" on the newly discovered land. A vol ume was published at St. Die by Ma this Ringemann under the title of "In- troducto Cosmographioe," suggesting that the most appropriate name for the new country would be America" :" A group of savants who were the heads of the Vostien college of St. Die met in the now famous house and agreed that America was the most fit ting name by which the new world should be called. This was on April 25, 1907.
 Columbus died in 1906. Amerigo Vespucci survived the great navigator six years. Vespucci was clever pilot and after his arrival on the new shores he put forth the claim that the glory was his-he had discovered the mainland, while Columbus had only landed on the islands. Notwithstand- ing the fact that his merit assuredly was secondary he quickly gained widespread fame, as an account of his voyage and exploits was the first to be published
 St. Die is quaint old town situated on the two banks of the River Meurthe at the foot of the blue line of majes- tic mountains which is so admirably described by Jules Ferry. The house which harbored the men who selected the name America stands today as rugged and strong as it did in the early part of the fifteenth century. To approach the place" or square, where it stands one has to traverse narrow, circuitous streets, pass under pictur- esque arcades of pinkish gray stone which the brush of time has softened into beautiful opal coloring, when one finds himself suddenly in the cen ter of a wide, open space. The eye quickly alights on a placard which is fastened on rather broad, low building. This tablet records in a few words the importance of this his torical edifice.
 AS St. Die has played such an i'm portant role in the history of America, the munit pality of this little town sent an address to ex-President Roose- welt, begging him to attend their big celebration on April 25 in honor of the naming of the new world. Unfor- tunately the arrangements that had already been made could not be al tered and MT. Roosevelt was obliged to forego the pleasure. In letter to the municipality he said: There is no onr,t in, desirous of seeing than this house that is so closely linked with the his- tory of my country"

expedition ia a most able manner. Taking train to Kapitil plains, the party became the guests of Sir Alfred Pease on his ranch. An immense caravan of 260 persons was organized and on April 25 Colonel Roosevelt had his first African hunt. On this occasion he bagged two wildebeests and a Thompson's gazelle. April 30 was a notable day in the camp on the Athi, for on that day the first lions fell victims to the craftsmanship of the Roosevelts. Theodore shot two and Kermit one, and there was great rejoicing among the natives who maoe up the caravan. After that the big game came fast and cheetahs, giraffes, rhinoceroses and more lions were added to the list, in all 14 varieties of animals being secured. Meanwhile Kermit was busy with his cameras and the naturalists prepared the spe- cimens.
 George McMillan, an American, was the next host of the hunters, and sey- eral weeks were spent on his fine Ju Ja ranch and in the surrounding coun- try. There the game was very plenti- full and many fine specimens were bagged. Members of the party made several extensive trips of exploration, notably on and around Mount Kenia.
 The expedition left East Africa De- cember 19, crossed Uganda and went down the White Nile, getting back to comparative civilization at Gondokoro. There they went aboard a steamer put at their disposal by the strdar, and journeyed to Khartum, where Mrs. Roosevelt met her husband, and accompanied him in a leisurely trip to Cairo. During his stay in Egypt Col onel Roosevelt was the recipient of many honors and made several speeches. One of them, in which he praised the administration of the British, gave considerable offense to

Curious Customs of India.

Interesting stories of the tribes in the wild northwest frontier of India were told by Dr. Theodore l.. Pennell, medical missionary at a meeting of the National Indian association, re- gently. Robbery and brigandage, he, said, were the profession of some of the tribes, especially the Waziris When a child was born his mother usually placed him in a hole in the wall of the mudhouse and said to him, Learn to be a thief" It was no un- usual thing for the hospital to be called upon to provide artificial noses for the wives of men who in a fit of jealousy had cut off the ends of the noses of their women folk. One man who had cut his wife's nose off alto gether was told that the cost would be 30 rupees, and he hesitated. Asked the reason of his hesitation, the man said, Well, it's this way, sahib, can get a new wife for S0."

NAMING IF AMERICA
House Where SavantS Met Still
 Stands in France.
Book Which Inspired Columbus Writ ten in St. Die, Where the Fa- nous Conference Was Held
 In 1907.

Paris.-Few Europeans. or Ameri- cans either, realize the historical i'm portance of the little town of St. Die, in the province of Vosges, France. Not only does it contain the house wherein sat the savants who decided to give the name America" to the newly discovered continent, but it was in this same town that book was written which was the incentive that led to the discovery of the new world.
 In 1410 Frenchman named Pierre d'Ailly wrote a book called 'Imago Mundi' ("The Image of the Uni verse"). This book was read and meditated over by the great naviga- tor, Christopher Columbus, and first gave him the idea of seeking the un- known land
 Pierre d'Ailly was born of poor par ents in Compiegne in 1889. He be- came priest of the Roman Catholic church and by his own merits rose to the exalted position of cardinal. In his work, "Imago Mundi," d'Ailly sus- tained the thesis that the whole world was habitable and inhabited and, ac- cording to his belief other lands ex- isted which were as yet unknown in Europe.
 How could one get there?" he asked.
 From a Spanish port under a fla vorable wind" was his answer.
 This statement, however, was mixed up with many extravagant opinions often impracticable and fantastic, but these very extravaganees of thought stimulated the imagination of Colum- bus, who read and reflected over the strange views put forth. Savants have also shown that it was

REMARKABLE AERIAL TRIP
Voyage of Lieut.. Honeywell From St. Louis Across Lake Michigan
 Filled With Danger.

Ionia, Mich.-Lieut. H. B. Honeywell of St. Louis and his balloon. the Cen tennial, which landed at Shiloh, ten miles north of Ionia, had a remark able flight. Lieutenant Honeywell started from St. Louis with w. T. Ass man as passenger. Progress was rapid until Kenosha, Wis, was reached and the crossing of Lake Michigan begun. Here the balloon dropped to only 300 feet above the ground.
 To the many observers on the shore between Racine and Kenosha it seemed that the balloon would be car ried northward toward the head of the lake rather than toward safety on either shore. From the way Lieuten- ant Honeywell kept near the earth 1t

Growing Nasturtiums

Of nasturtiums there are dwarf and climbing varieties, to suit all situa- tions, with flowers practically alike. Any ordinary well-drained soil will support them perfectly, even though it is decidedly thin. In fact, they blossom better in such earth than in very rich, for in the latter they run to leaf and are apt to rot off in wet weather, in their own dense shade, especially if at all crowded.
 Sow as early as the ground is ready. The dwarf or Tom Thumb di- vision will be in bloom in two months, insects will leave them alone -aphids colonize unpleasantly on the climbers sometimes-and they will still be blossoming when frost comes if picked freely. This is true of most annuals, in fact liberal picking induces generous Towering, for they go on, industriously bent on producing seed, until allowed to do so.-Grace Tabor, in Woman's Home Companion.

When the late Justice Brew CT, whom Governor Hughes will sue. ceed, came from Kansas for the bench, he wore as fine a bunch of populistic whiskars as that state ever produced, but quickly taking broad hint, amputated them, and from that time on was one of the smooth-faces. Mustaches do not come within provi. sions of the law, hence Chief Justice Fuller, Justices Day. Lurton and Holmes sport downy decorations north of their upper lips. Justice Kenna goes even a trife farther and attaches himself to sidewhiskers.
 The main point is: Will Governor Hughes recognize the fact that whis- kers and judicial brains, as exempIi- fled by the Supreme court, do not mix?

Kissinq the Bride.

At a certain church it is the pleasing custom at a marriage for the clergy man to kiss the bride after the cere- mony. A young lady who was about to be married in the church did not relish the prospect, and instructed her prospective husband when making ar engagements to tell the clergyman that she did not wish him to kiss her. The bridegroom did as directed.
 Well, George" said the young lady when he appeared, "did you tell the clergyman that did not wish him to kiss me?"
 "Oh, yes"
 And what did he say?"

 A great throng of friends and ad- mirers bade the colonel farewell, and he sailed away, but could not entirely separate himself from the world, for practically all the way across the At lantic wireless communication with the Hamburg was maintained. More over, at the Azores, and again at Gibraltar, he found the officials and people insisted on doing him honor, and when he reached Naples on April the entire populace turned out to greet him with flowers and cheers.

Unusual privileges were granted the hunters, and MT. Roosevelt and Kermit were licensed to kill lions.

The colonel promptly called it all off, stating that as an in- dependent American citizen he could not submit to such restrictions. The head of the Methodist mission tried to make religious capital out of this. and MT. Roosevelt thereupon cancelled the plans for a general reception to which the Methodists had been invited. Thus, with his usual luck and facility for coming out on top" he had the best of the matter all around and his conduct was generally commended all over the world.

Whiskers and Judicial Robes Have Never Mixed Well on the

Washington.-Wil that luxurious crop of whiskers be sacrificed to up- hold the dignity and precedents of the Supreme bench when Governor Hughes takes his seat among the worlds greatest jurists?
 Whiskers and judicial robes have never mixed well in the United States Supreme court room. There seems to be some sort of an unwritten law that forbids the interpreters of the Constitution from covering up their chins.
