P0cAH0NTAS NOT REAL NAME
Literally Means "Tomboy" and Was
Given to Indian Child as
Term Of RidlcuIe.

The story OF John Smith and Poca-
hontas Is known to everyone who has
attended school In the United States,
but few know that the name Pocahon-
tas was only a nickname, and meant
50 unpoehcal thing as "tomboy."
Her real name was Ma-ta-oka. When
she was about ten or eleven years old
she was engaged in turning series Of
handSprings at the door of her fathers
hut. He was the chief of the tribe,
and was known as Pow-ha-tan, al
though his real name was A-bun-so-na-
cook. Ra-bun-ta, an Indian runner,
came leapipg through the forest with
message for the chief. He turned
the corner of the hut just as the little
daughter Of the chief made one of her
most vigorous wheels. Her flying feet
struck him in the chest and knocked
him down.
llslians dearly love rough joke,
and u great shout Of laughter went up,
although the chief was anything but
pleased, and called his daughter sharp
ly to him. This Is not maiden's play"
he said. "Will you never cease to be
q po-ca-hun-taS?" The children caught
UP the name, and it clung to the little
girl ever afterward. The English
changed the spelling a bit, but the
name has come down in history almost
as It was given away back In 1907.

Chang Smoked Pipe.

Il Hung Chang was the first to, pay
me a visit in my capacity Of minister
Of finance. Count Sergius Witte late
Russian diplomat, writes In the
Worlds Work. When we had taken
our tea, I inquired Of Ii Hung Chang
whether he did not want to smoke.
he emitted a sound not unlike the
neighing Of horse. Immediately two
Cinnamon came running from the ad-
jacent room, one carrying narghile
and the other tobacco. Then began
the ceremony of smoking. Ii Hung
Chang sat quietly inhallng and .ex-
haling the smoke, while his attendants
with great awe lighted the narghile,
held the pipe, took it from his mouth,
and put 1t back. 1t was apparent that
Il Hung Chang wanted to impress me
with all these ceremonies. On my part,
I made believe that did not pay. the
slightest attention to the proceedings.

Natures Jewel Boxes.

The northwestern part of Uruguay
Is a newly discovered field for the pro-
duction Of amethysts, which occur In
"geodes." The geodes, so plentiful
that they are picked up in the fields
are carried on muleback or in carts
to the nearest railway station and
shipped in barrels to Salto, whence
they are transported by river boat to
Mountevideo.
Naturally 1t win be asked, what Ii
a geode?" Originally, 1t was hole In
a rock. Water percolating through the
rock deposited silica, making lining
for the cavity. The lining grew thick
er and thicker, and after q long time,
IL the rock were broken or "weathered"
to pieces, a hard nodule would dror'
out. The nodule is a geode; and II, al
sometimes happens, the silica has
formed crystals inside Of 1t, colored oy

JEALOUS OPPONENT OF DYES
objection Made by English Quaker
Was That They Led to Con.
ceaIment Of Dirt

John Woolman, the Quaker. refused
to wear any clothing that had been
dyed. BE carried his scruples 50 far
that he wore a hat that was Of the
natural color of the fur, thereby pre-
senting, as one Of his biographers TO
marks, the aspect Of sort Of Robin
son Crusoe. One Of John Woolman's
objections to dyes was that they cen
cealed dirt. Travelling often In wet
weather through narrow streets, he
was frequently distressed by various
impurities-especially when his jour
neys took him to places where cloth
had been dyed, so that at sundry
times he had to walk over ground
where much of their dyestuffs has
drained away" This produced in his
mind a great longing that people
might come into cleanness Of spirit,
cleannesS Of person and cleanness
about their houses and garments" AS
q further reason against dyes he ar
gued that the spirit that would hide
dirt leads to the concealment of any
thing that may be materially or NOR
ally disagreeable, and Is therefore
contrary to sincerity. He contended
that II the money spent on dyeing were
devoted to the promotion of cleanliness
much'good in every way would result.

Carrier Pigeons in Warfare.

The use Of carrier pigeons Is very
ancient In the Orient and was brought
to the attention Of Europe at the time
Of the First crusade, when the Sara

employed falcons to chase and inter

sions, and on others caught the tired
birds, substituted misleading messages
for those they were carrying, and sent
them on to deceive the enemy. The
Mohammedan sovereign Nureddin used
carrier pigeons for welding together
the scattered parts Of his empire. Al
though the use continued, it was not
atil the Franco-Prussian war Of 1870
tat pigeons were again Of conspicu-

Of Paris constant communication was
maintained between the besieged city
and the outside world by means Of
the carrier birds. Subsequently the

governments established regular pigeon

PRAGUE CITY OF PALACES

world, with its gales tianked with

tirely given to palaces, where in mar
row old streets, crooked and grass
grown, and about tranquil, silent
squares rise the splendid facades Of

took over the palace belonging to the
Buquoys, Flemish family which
came to Bohemia after the battle OF
La Montague Blanche and cast in
their fortunes with those Of the Haps-
burgs.
The United States minister, Mr.
Crane, has bought with his own money
the magnificent palace of the Schon-
born. The chateau is less beautiful,
less elegant, perhaps, than the Buquoy
palace, but the gardens are marvellous.
They rise in terrace after terrace to
a hill which overlooks the entire city.
At the top are the tennis courts, where
the diplomatic circle meets daily for
afternoon tea.
The most strikingly original feature
Of Prague Is the "Hradchany," an
acropolis of towers, churches and pal
aces dominating the capital. From
the time that Prague was reduced TO
a city of secondary importance the
palaces Of the "Hradchany' were prac-
tically abandoned. Now and then

president of the republic and the diff
ferent ministers. President Masaryk

drawing room which had once been
