injrs in Familiar Terms.
Maine takes its name from the province
6f Main, in France, and was so called as
k compliment to the queen of Charles I,
Henrietta, who was its owner.
New Hampshire takes its name from
Hampshire, England. New Hampshire
(was originally called Laconia.
Vermont is French (verd mont), sig
nifying green mountain,
i Massachusetts is an Indian word, sig
nifying "country about the great hills."
Rhode Island gets its name because of
its fancied resemblance to the Island of
Rhodes, in the Mediterranean.
The real name of Connecticut is Quon
eh-ta-but It is a Mohegan word, and
means "long river."
New York was so named as a compli
ment to the Duke of York, whose brother,
Charles H, granted him that territory.
New Jersey was named for Sir George
Carter, who was at that time governor
tof the Island of Jersey, in the British
channel.
Pennsylvania, as is generally known,
takes its name from William Perm, the
"sylvania" part of it meaning woods.
Literally it is "Perm's Woods."
Delaware derives its name from
Thomas West, Lord de la Ware.
Maryland was named in honor of Hen
rietta Maria, queen of Charles I.
Virginia got its name from Queen
Elizabeth, the "Virgin Queen."
The Carolinas were named for Charles
(Carolus) H.
MEANINGS WOBTH REMEMBERING.
Florida gets its name from rTnnnrum
de Flores, or "Feast of the Flowers."
Alabama comes from a Greek word,
and signifies "Land of Rest."
Louisiana was so named in honor of
Louis XIV.
Mississippi is a Natchez word, and
means "Father of Waters."
Three or four Indian interpretations
have been given for the word Arkansas,
the best being that it signifies "Smoky
Waters," the French prefix "Ark" mean
ing bow.
Tennessee, according to some writers,
is from Tenasea, an Indian chief; others
have it that it means "River of the Big
Bend."
Kentucky does not mean "Dark and
Bloody Ground," but is derived from the
Indian word "Kain-tuk-ae," signifying
"Land at the Head of the River."
Ohio has had several meanings fitted
to it Some say that it is a Snwanee
word, meaning "The Beautiful River."
Others refer to the Wyandotte word,
Oheza, which signified "Something
Great."
Indiana means land of Indians.
Illinois is supposed to be derived from
an Indian word which was intended to
refer to a superior class of men.
Wisconsin is an Indian word, meaning ■
"Wild, Rushing Waters."
Missouri means "Muddy Waters."
Michigan is from an Indian word,
meaning "Great Lake."
The name Kansas is based on the same
as that of Arkansas.
A VALUABLE LIST.
lowa is named from an Indian tribe,
the Kiowas; the Kiowas were so called
by the Illinois Indians because they were
"across the river."
The name of California is a matter of
much dispute. Some writers say that it
first appeared in a Spanish romance of
1630, the heroine being an Amazonian
named "California."
Colorado is a Spanish word, applied to
that portion of the Rocky mountains on
account of its many colored peaks.
Nebraska means shallow waters.
Nevada is a Spanish word, signifying
"snow covered mountains."
Georgia had its name bestowed when
it was a colony in honor of George H.
The Spanish missionaries of 1524 called
the country now known as Texas "Mix
tecapah," and the people Mixtecas. From
this last word the name of Texas is sup
posed to have been derived
Oregon is a Spanish word, signifying
"vales of wild thyme."
Dakota means "leagued" or "allied
tribes."
Wyoming is the Indian word for "Big
Plains."
Washington gets its name from our
first president.
Montana means mountainous.
Idaho is a name that has never been
satisfactorily accounted for.—St. Louis
Republic.
Why He Didn't Rise.
Detroit is a lovely city and everybody
knows it. The love of it is bred in the
bone and never gets out of the flesh.
The other Sunday a visiting clergyman
addressed the Sunday school of an up
town church. After a serious talk he
said to the children:
"All of you who desire to live in a
better world than this, please rise to
your feet."
All the children rose except one small
boy in the corner.
The good man looked at him in pained
surprise.
"My child," he said, very gently and
kindly, "why don't you rise with the
others?"
"Detroit's good enough for me, that's
why," sung out the youngster, and the
solemnity of the occasion was knocked
to pieces.—Detroit Free Press.
Parisian "Beef."
In buying beef at cafe or shop you run
the risk of getting horse meat. Its long
fibers and pinkish blood tell the tale.
Americans watch for it with eagle eyes,
and their first meal of horseflesh is de
scribed with all the minuteness and
gusto of the first trip up the Eiffel tower
or the first visit to the Grand Opera.—

A Modern Athenian's Dilemma.
"Did I ever tell yon," said Thalia to a
reporter, "my awful experience the only
time I was ever honored by a call from
the elder Salvrni? My sister had been
shown many kindnesses by him while in
Italy, and had begged him to call on us
when he came to America. It was the
maid's afternoon out I was alone in the
flat with Jack, my irrepressible ten
year-old nephew. An accursed impulse
whispered to me that a hot bath was a
good remedy for headache.
"I was in my bath wrap, my dripping
hair hanging about me, when the bell
rang. Oh, horror I The name on the card
which Jack poked under the door was
Tomaso Salvinil I knew he scarcely
understood a word of English. 'Jack,'
I gasped, 'say after me till you get it,
"Madame D. est sortie," and then go in
and fire it off at him. He'll know what
it is if yon don't He'll go away.' So
said, so done. The little scamp caught
the words quickly and repeated them
glibly.
"Fancy my anguish when Signor Sal
vini began to question, to regret, to dep
recate in a flood of swift French, Jack
gazing in widemouthed terror, I on
the verge of catalepsy behind the bath
room door. Jack bore it as long as he
could, and then his sky piercing accents
rose upon the air. 'I dont know what
you're driving at I' wailed he. 'All I
know is that she told me to say she was
sortie, and I've said itf Don't ask me
the rest. I collapsed in the bathtub
and tore my hair and wept"—Boston
Commonwealth.
Air Strata Over Cities.
The popular idea that the higher one
gets in the city air the purer the atmos
phere becomes, has been disproved by
evidence given before a select committee
on house of commons ventilation in Lon
don. It is found that the air of cities
like London, where soft coal is burned,
is purest at thirty or forty feet from the
ground. Lower than that the dust is
encountered and higher the smoke from
the chimneys.
These conclusions were arrived at
from experiments with frames of wood
covered with blanketing material put
at different elevations—one on top of the
clock tower at Westminster, another on
the highest point of the roof and others
at various heights down to the court
yard. After five hours' exposure there
were found to be more smuts at high
elevations than at low, but on the level
of the courtyard there were considera
ble quantities of dust
The inference from these experiments
is that the common notion that the high
est stories of the tallest blocks of flats
are desirable for their salubrity is apt to
be a mistaken one, and that beyond forty
feet nothing is gained by going higher
unless a very great height—some say 400
or 600 feet—is reached.—Louisville Cou
rier-Journal.
Is Iron Rust a Cause of Fire?
When oxide of iron is placed in con
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere, and aided by a slightly in
creased temperature, the oxide will part
' with its oxygen, and is converted into
very finely divided particles of metallic
iron having such an affinity for oxygen
that, when afterward exposed to tbe ac
tion of the atmosphere from any cause,
oxgen is so rapidly absorbed that these
particles become suddenly red hot, and
if in sufficient quantity will produce a
temperature far beyond the ignition
point of dry timber.
Wherever iron pipes are employed for
the circulation of any heated medium,
whether hot water, hot air or steam, and
the pipes are allowed to become rusty,
in close contact with timber, it is only
necessary to suppose that under these
circumstances the particles of metallic
iron become exposed to the action of the
atmosphere—and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction of the
pipes—in order to account for many of
the fires which periodically take place
at the commencement of the winter.—
Iron.
Benevolent.
There was, not long since, a venerable
and benevolent judge in Paris who, at
the moment of passing sentence on a
prisoner, consulted his associates on each
side of him as to the proper penalty to
be inflicted. "What ought we to give
this rascal, brother?" he said, bending
over to the one upon his right. "I
should say three years." "What is your
opinion, brother?" to the other, on his
left. "I should give him about four
years." The Judge (with benevolence)
—"Prisoner, not desiring to give you a
long and severe term of imprisonment,
as I should have done if left to myself,
I have consulted my learned brothers,
and I shall take their advice. Seven
years!"— Life.
Henry George's Query.
Henry CJeorge is a singularly absent
minded and preoccupied man, so much
so, indeed, that he frequently passes ac
quaintances by without seeing them,
though he may seem to be looking them
straight in the face. At the same time
he is often minutely observant, and
when anything unusual attracts his at
tention he is prompt with a query. He
reduced a harmless young Englishman
to a state of painful embarrassment
amid the crowd of a London drawing
room by looking hard at his monocle
and suddenly saying, "Do you wear that
because one eye is different from the
other?" —San Francisco Argonaut
Two Bales for Martial Happiness.
Lily Devereux Blake suggests as one
rule for martial happiness that the wife
should not always ask the husband
where he is going when he goes away,
and where he has been when he comes
back. And as another the equal divi
sion of money, for she claims that one
half of every dollar the husband has be
longs in the law to the wife.
A Rhode Island man made a net profit
of $2,700 in six months by raising
skunks for market. He sells the felts of
the odorous animals at good figures, and
manufactures skunk oil, which he dis
poses of to the druggists for a rheu
matic cure.

Tbe Doctors Are Unllty.
Grave mistakes are made by physicians in
treating Heart Disease. The rate of sudd»a
deaths is increasing. _ Hundreds become
treatment of this disease. One Fn four*pe7sorU
has a diseased heart. Shortness of Breath,
Palpitation and Fluttering, Irregular Pulse,
Choking Sensation, Asthmatic Breathing, Pain
or Tenderness in Side, Shoulder or Arm,
Weak or Hungry Spells, are symptoms of
Heart Disease. Dr. Miles'sNew Heart Cure is
the only reliable remedy. Thousands testify
to its wonderful cures. Books free. Sold by

An Antlcorn Law Leader Dead.
Mr. Peter Alfred Taylor had so long
retired from public life that the an
nouncement of his death will recall an
almost forgotten name. But in his ac
tive days he did splendid public service.
He was an aggressive Radical when
Radicalism was unpopular, and the
weak and downtrodden had always in
him an ardent and active friend.
As a member of the Anticorn Law
league, a defender of Mazzini, a cham
pion of the northern states during the
American civil war, a determined op
ponent of the game laws, compulsory
vaccination and grants to royalty, he
did much to stir up public feeling on
these subjects, and when, after a parlia
mentary career of twenty-two years, he
retired, owing to ill health, the cause of
reform lost an honest and outspoken
champion.
Mr. .Taylor was wealthy, but gave
liberally, and he deserves to be held in
grateful remembrance as a man who
singularly sincere, unselfish and of
earnest purpose, did much for the pub
lic weal.—Pall Mall Gazette.
She Committed Snlclde.
Mrs. F. 0. Boe, at Watkins, left this letter
"My husband—Forgive me if I cause you trou

these long, wakeful, wretched nights are to

never be better. It is not easy to take my own
life, but I have been sick so long. Good-bye,
my husband, I love you—your wi'e." This la

Lands a Rich Duke Owned.
The late Duke of Devonshire owned
land in fourteen different counties. The
estates extend to 193,000 acres, and the
annual rental is something over £170,
--000. Much of the land in and about
Eastbourne was tho property of the
duke, and, like that in the vicinity of
Barrow-in-Furness, has increased enor
mously in value of late years.
The duke possessed no fewer than
seven seats, the cost of keeping up
which alone must have been consider
able. The duke had the patronage of
over forty church livings, the annual
total value of which exceeds £10,000 per
annum.
The founder of the house was William
Cavendish, commonly supposed (accord
ing to Mr. Evans' "Old Nobility") to be
identical with that Cavendish who wrote
the "Life of Wolsey," and who has been
immortalized by Shakespeare. The fifth
duke was the husband of the duchess
whoso portrait was painted by Gainsbor
ough, and about whom there is a story
similar to that of one of tho duchesses of
Gordon of her kissing tradesmen to ob
tain votes. It was tho sixth duke who
formed the famous gardens at Chats
worth. Tho family motto, "Safe by
being cautious," applies, most people
will think, very fitly to the new duke.—
Pall Mall Gazette.
"Mother, the birds are singing—the tun is
bright—the ladies are all out in Spring dresses
and I can't wear mine for fear of neuralgia."
"Pshaw, cruld, go out and be happy. Only
don't torget to buy a bottle of Salvation Oil.''
