|AMERICA NAMED BY GERMAN
Martin WaldseemuIler Published First
Map With That Title Given
the New World.

In the interesting town Of st. Die.
In French Lorraine, there was recent
ly held celebration Of special inter
est to the people Of this side OF the
world, and In lesser degree to Spain
and Italy. 1t was in honor OF the four
hundredth anniversary Of the publica-
ton there Of the geographical work OF
Martin Waldseemuller, in which Amer
lea was suggested as the name OF the
New World.
There have been many theories and
much controversy as to the origin OF
the name America, and not a few have
resented the slight which was put
upon Columbus in this connection.
Some have denounced Amerigo Yes
pucci-who like Columbus, was an
Italian sailing under the flag OF Spain
for stealing" the glory due the real
discoverer.
But the chief wrong, II any was
done, was committed by the German
geographer in the book which was
published in 1907, and on the map
which he published a year or so later.
On that map the name America was
applied. however, only to the southern
part Of the New World. The northern
part was called Parias.
1t is possible, perhaps probable, that
vespucci, not Columbus. first reached
the mainland of America; and 1t was
vespucci who grasped the important
fact that a new continent had been
found, and not simply part OF Asia
OF that fact Columbus died In ignor'
ance.
But rightly or wrongly, the name
of Amerigo Vespucci, trader, traveller
and writer, was given to the New
World, and given to remain forever
And now a lofty tower rises among
the hills of Lorraine to commemorate
the suggestion which resulted In the
designation.

WOMAN SCENE PAINTER.

America has only one woman
scenic artist, so far as known. She
is Grace ,Wishaar, who undertook her
unusual mode of livelihood in q
somewhat accidental way. She all
ways had loved painting, but had not
been thoroughly grounded in draw
ing. She had a national talent for
color and grouping. One day a
scenic artist who had a studio in the
same western city as her own had a
big contract which he found it i'm
possible to finish in the night Of
schedule. He made his trouble
known to Miss Wishaar and she went
to his rescue. : The work was fin
ished ON time: After that the girl
worked with that artist for a time
and afterward went to New York,
where after many fruitless attempts
to get work, a well-known scene
painter took her into his workshop.

TOBACCO IN GREAT BRITAIN
Restriction In Force since Time OF
Charles II. Makes Growing OF
Plant unprofitabie.

Although the tobacco plant has
been grown in Kent, Norfolk and
other parts of England with sufficient
success to show its commercial possi-
bilities, no relaxation from fiscal
burdens has been given to encour-
age its cultivation. Since the reign
of Charles III. the restrictions have
been such as practically to prohibit
enterprise in that direction, these
having been originally enacted to
give protect the colonists Of Vir-
ginia.
Apart from payment of duty, it is
necessary to take out an annual
license for curing and smoking the
plant, to have the crop officially
weighed, and to give two days. mo-
tice of the intention either to cut or
cure the tobacco. The grower is ex-
pected to give all kinds of help to
the excise officer, must have his land
and buildings examined officially,
and must keep a diary for recording
the dates of sowing, the particular
variety which he cultivates and his
transactions with other. growers.
Special permission must be obtained
before cultiyators enter into dealings
with one another as to exchange or
transfer of stock. The only help
vouchsafed by a paternal govern
ment is the pamphlet containing
these and many other regulations.
And all this lest England should
compete with Virginia London

LEAvEN OF EDUCATION.

As educated men filter through
the community, reforms are secured
that 20years ago seemed millennial.
The separation of local from state
sources of revenue, the separation
of local from national elections, the
treatment of franchise as valuable
property, the discriminating be-
tween ordinary industry and nat
ural monopoly, the practice of
scientific charity and penology, the
concentration Of responsibility in
government--these and score of
other good things which once seemed
as far above popular compensation
as four-dimensional space, have
come to pass, thanks chiefly to the
radiations from the classrooms.--

Middle West" in the Century.

SUPERSTITION IN HUNGARY.

A terrible instance of superstition
was brought to light, recently, in
Buda Pesth, Hungary. A boy of
fourteen died some time ago in
small village. A farmer, in whose
employment the boy had been,
thought that the ghost of the latter
appeared to him every night. J In Or
der to put stop to these supposed
visitations the farmer, accompanied
by some friends. went to the ceme-
terry one night, disinterred the body,
stuffed three pieces Of garlic and
three stones in the mouth, and thrust
a stake through the corpse, fixing it
to the ground. This was to deliver
themselves from the. evil spirit, as
the credulous farmer and his friends
stated, when they were arrested.

Colorado Justice Of the Peace Knew
His Business and Cared Not n
Rap for Precedents.

A story of the early mining days
in Colorado has to do with the self
sufficiency of Patrick Smith, a self
appointed justice Of the peace, and
the biting wit of a young lawyer,
who attempted to defend a man
charged with stealing horse.
The lawyer argued that the fact
that the man had the horse was not
proof positive that he had stolen it.
Justice Smith instantly oyerruled
the point.
The lawyer then read from Black
stone case identical with the one
before the court.
"What do I care for Blackstone
OF any other lawyer?" cried Justice
Smith. "I know the man stole the
horse, and I have decided he's
guilty. That's enough. I'm Judge
here" -
"Your honor" answered the law

case. I read the extract merely to
