tho disease, of which one Atreya, who wrote
in India, probably more than 4, (XX) years ago,
said: '"'1 he man who neglects tho disease at
its commencement is sure to die, for it bo
comes incurable."
Tho present method of caring for tho lepers
is that of separating them from the rest of
tho community and making a settlement for
them. At first, separation was the one thing
thought of, but care was not considered. As
the time has gone by, and especially sinco Fr.
paniien devoted himself to tho work of alle
viating their condition, there has lieen much
done in the !.v.iy of care, until now tho people
aro as comfortable as they can be with this
terribla disease holding them in so stern a
grasp.
THE SETTLEMENT IX HAWAII.
For a considerable time there was nobody
to look out for these people. A man was
sent there just to receive them, show them
their houses and give them their weekly al
lowance of food. Water was scarce, and had
to bo carried considerable distances, and great
inconvenience and considerable suffering
grew out of it.
Many who were approaching tho latter
stages of the disease, and those who had uo
friends or relatives with them, suffered more
or less, but, to the credit of tho people bo it
said, as a rule they almost always found a
friend in tie-iv extremities. There was no
hospital or building in those days where they
could be taken care of. Tho tract of laud
constituting tho leper settlement projects
from the main lxkly cf tho island, and forms
a kind of shelf, including, probably, au area
of about i,000 acres, abounding with every
Variety of soil, and everything necessary to
supply tho wants of tho natives, and having
a largo area of land to be utilized for the
j-aising of stocks; the tea abounds with fish,
and before this place wa3 occupied by tho
loperj it sustained a very largo and thriving
pvpulat ion.
The original inhabitants of tho plaeo owned
a great many pieces of land and houses, the
houses being mostly thatched ones, and only
three or four were wooden structures; the
lands were mostly planted with taro, po
tutoos aud other vegetables. Most of
these hoti.M.s and lauds wero purchased
by tho government for tho accommoda
tion of the lepers, and the planted
lauds for their support. All tho first ship
ments of lepers were allowed to tako their
wives and husbands with them, or a sou, and
in some instances a daughter;"but children
.tyero not permitted to accompany them.
Later, uovvi-yer, lepers wero not allowed to
tako their husbands ur wives with them, and
visits to tho settlement eeused to bo per
mitted, exceping only under the most strenu
ous circumstances, and ouly for a brief inter
view. In tSVG l;e number of lepers at tho settle
ment had Inci-euoC-J is SOO, and, in spite of all
efforts to secure their Isolation, umbers al
ways remained behind. By this time tho bi
tsifijal legislatures evinced more interest in
the conJulai: pjf tsieir unfortunate feilowmen
at tho settlement thnu hjnl been the case pre
viously, and at nearly every session a com
mittee was appointed to visit tho settlement
and report on the modes of living, sufficiency
of food, houses, etc., of the lepers; and, in
consequence of one of these visits, during the
legislature of ISTd, tho settlement received the
special attention of the legislature, which re
sulted in an increase of their weekly meat
rations from five to seven pouads; a number
ol jJsUo.ros were also built, and the lepers re
ceived addition) pwssary articles, such as
soap and kerosene oii, and tiisir allowance of
ten pounds of rice was etiangea to nine
pn;Js, with one pound of sugar.
Previous ic J!; is tho settlement had received
very littlo medical attention. A physician
used to Coin's from ilaui two or threo times
a year, visit tho Scttlcnjent for a few hours,
and return. Subsequent!- efforts were made
to obtain the services of a resident physician,
the .-.-ji-Ooture having provided an appropria

settlement, which has met with varying suc

THE NAME AMERICA.
Tho Popular Idea That It Wait Derived
from Amerigo YcKucei IliHputed.
Tho bulletin of the I'aris Geographical so
ciety, which has just been issued, contains an
account by M. Jules Marcon of certain fur
ther researches which lie has made into the
origin of tho uauio "America." As far back
as 175 ho published a MiK-r on tho same
topic, which attracted much attention at the
time, and he has since devoted much labor to
an investigation of early historical docu
ments in which the New World is named.
Tho popular notion that America was so
called i ron i 1 lie Christian name of Amerigo
Vespuet i is, ho says, wholly unfounded, and
ho sums up his conclusions in this way: 1.
Amcrique is the Indian nanu of tho moun
tains bet ween Juigalpa and l.ibertad in tho
IVovineo of Chonlales, which separate Lake
Nicaragua from the .Mosquito coast. The
word in tho Maya language signiiies '"tho
windy country," or "the country where tho
wind blows always " 2. Tie? Christian naiuo
of Vespucci was AlberL-o in Italian and Span
ish, Alix-rieu.-i in Latin. This particular
nam..' is subject to au enormous number of
variations, as the nomenclature and calen
dars of Italian ami Spanish saints of the
period show; but nowhere is there ary such
variation of Amcrictis, Amerrigo, Amerigo,
Almerigo, etc.. and none of these is either a
diminutive of a variation in use in Italy,
8pain or France, for Albcrico or Albei t. 4.
Before l."Wi", when Jean Basin of Sahit I ie
published the name, it is not to be found in
any printed document, nor even in any man
uscript of recognized and incontestable au
thority. M. Marcon claims that his theory of a
native origin for tho namo America has been
accepted in Spain, Spanish America, a.id,
with somo exceptions, in the United States;
in France, Germany and Italy it has excited
doubt and surprise, but in the last named he
has the support tf tho eminent Turin geogra
pher, M. (Juido Core. There is no doubt that
Columbus and Vespucci went along the Mos
quito coast at the feet of tho Sierra Amer
rique, and that tho name was reported by
the officers and men of these expeditions, and
Schoner, tho geographer, declared in 1815
that tho name was already popular in Eu
rope. It is beyond question that one edition cf
Vespucci's letter on his third voyage has tho
namo Amerigo in tho place of tho Christian
name. Nineteen editions had Albericus, and
subsequent Italian editions had Alberico. The
one with Amerigo on tho title page was pub
lished in 150(5, but M. Marcon suggests that
this was never intended to be a variation of
Alberico, but rather an adaptation of Amer-
rique, a name already know;i and applied to
the Aew orid, to espucci's name todistin
guish him, as we now say 'Chinese Cordon"
to distinguish tne particular Gordon by su
costing ono of his greatest feats. London
Times.
Powerful Crujj-s.
A seoro of years ago drugs wero given in
quito crude forms. Tho pills then used were
largo enough to excite apprehension of suf
focation in patients obliged to take them.
Until quito recently all medicines havo con
tained more or less extraneous matter, which
added bulk but not virtue to them. Gradually
the chemist eliminated such unnecessary mat
ter, until at last drugs were furnished physi
cians in nearly, if not quite, pure form. But
he did not stop there, lie next applied him
self to extracting tho active principles of
medicinal agents, and now nearly all the
powerful remedies are used in what we might
term highly concentrated form. Aconite fur
uishes us with a ready illustration of this
great change. Tho powdered leaves were
once given in two gi-ain doses, and the ex
tract of tho same in one-half grain doses.
At the present time we have aeon i Una, the
real virtue of aconite in highly concentrated
form, and tho dosfj of that is from 1-lCOtbs, to
l-COUthsof a gram. Of course, a piU of auoni
tiua containing a full doso might bo mads ex
ceedingly minute, and as a matter of fact it
is put up in very small granules. The infer
ence to lie drawn is that, in taking medicine,
ono must lie exceedingly careful to follow the
physician's directions "to the letter." Be
cause the pills aro small, one must not assume
t'oat they can lie taken recklessly. A man not
long ago deceived himself in th;t way with
mat disastrous results. Ilia pityskiaii or
dered some ten granules, scarcely larger than
pin heads, which contained a very powerful
drug. He was cautioned to take only cue,
three times a day ; but, thinking to expedite
matters, ho took all of them at one dose and
joined the "silent majoriiy." Boston Herald.
A ISattlo ISetweeii Trout.
At the foot of tho Brush mountain, near
Bellwood?- in tho famous Logan spring of
David HcnsLey, while performing their
rounds of Sunday work, Mrs. John Henshey
and several others cf tho familv were eye
witnesses of a fight which may sound like a
fish story; nevertheless it is true.
At the head of this large fountain they no
ticed an unusual disturbance in the water.
Going nearer the- observed p. number of
beautiful trout swimming to and fro, making
a great commotion. Whilo getting a good
view of the encounter all except two dis
persed, which wero about pjio foot in length,
and whose spotted bides glistened in tho pure,
clear water.
la an instant the larger but less active one
bounced upon tho smaller, seizing it by tho
back and clinging to it like a bloodhound.
The next moment tho smaller ono, whisking
and twirling itself plniost- out of the water,
secured its freedom, "when in turn it grappled
tho large one. Biting each other in tho side,
head, buck and tail, tho fight continued for
twair'y minutes, causing tho blood to flow
freely from their wounds, so as to darken tho
water.
Mrs. Ilenskey, seeing that death would be
tho result, ran for a hay rako and, securing
one, sho parted them. But to her great sur
orUo they rushed together again. Another
