Appearunces Often Deceive.
One day last week a Boston business man,
who was at work dictating letters to his ste
nographer, was interrupted l.y a business call
from two well dressed men, who remained in
conversation for some littlo time, and then
went out. When they had gone the business
man turned to his stenographer and said:
"Did you notieo the personal appearance of
those two gentlemen f"
"Oh, yes."
"Well, one of them was a well known pub
lisher of this city, and the other was a prize
lighter. Now, which was the prize fighter
and which was the ptibli.-.her f"
Tho girl descrilMsl 0110 ot the two a young
man of agree; flipicarance and pleasing
manners.
"That," bho said, "was tho publisher, of
course."
"You aro mistaken," said her employer
"Tho man you took fur the publisher was the
prize fighter, and tho man you took for the
prize fighter was the publisher."
And this was not a ease where "the boy
lied," cither. Uostoii Transcript,
A Wonderful Lake.
One of tho most picturesque and remark
able Ixxlies of water in the world is Henry's
lake in Idaho. It is situated on the dome of
the continent in a depression in the Uoeky
mountains called Target's pass. It has an
area of forty square miles, and all around it
rise snow cupped peaks, somo of them being
tho highest of the continent's backlione. In
the lake is a Ho:tiiig island ulxjut oOO feet in
diameter. It has for its basis a mat of roots
so dense that it supports large trees and a
heavy growth of underbrush. These roots
aro covered with several feet of rich soIL
Tho surface Is solid enough to support th
weight of a horse anywhere, and there aro
places where a house could be built The
wind blows tho island about the lake, and it
3eldom remains twenty-four hours la the
same place. San Francisco Post.
Manners of Americans.
The real test of tho manners and moral
of a nation is not by comparison with
other nations, but with itself. It must he
judged by tho historical, not by tho tope
graphical standard, liocs it develop? and
how? Manners, like morals, aro an affair
of evolution, and most often be n? native
product, a wholly indigenous tiling. Thia
i.s tho case, for instance, with the habitual
American courtesy to women in travel
ing a thing unparalleled in any Euro
Iean country, and of which, even in this
country, Ilowells-jtnds his licst type in
the Californium What takes tho plac
of it among tho Latin races is the courtesy
of tho high bred gentleman toward the
lady who is his social equal which is a
wholly different thing. A similar point
of evolution in this country is the decorum
ot a public assembly. It is known that
at tho early town meetings in New Eng
land men sat with their hats on, as in
England. Unconsciously, by a simple
evolution of gxxl manners, tho habit haa
been outgrown in America. lnt parlia
ment still retains ii.
Many good results may have followed
imperceptibly from this same tendency
to decorum. Thus Mr. IJryce points out
Hat the forcible interruption of a public
meeting by the oi!o:,ite nartv. althou 'h
very common in England, is very rare in
America, In general, with us, usages are
moro flexible, more adaptive; in public
meetings, for instance, wo get rid of a
great many things that aro unutterably
tedious, as tho English practice of mov
ing, seconding and debating the pre
scribed vote of thanks (o the presiding
oHicer at the end of the tuost insignia
jant gathering. U is v(-ry likely that
vea our incessant self criticism con
tributes toward this gradual amelioia
kioa of habits. In that case tho wonder
;a that our English cousins, who ciiticise
themselves quite as incessantly, move eo
slowly. Hai per"s Bazai.

Tho Difference.
Willie M., an Ayrshire farmer, was som&
what remiss ia attending divino service, and
his parish minister, on one of Ins pastoraj
visits, took occasion to refer to i t in rather a
pointed manner. Willie excused himself on
the score of advancing years, but his spiritr
ual guide would not condone the offense on,
that ground.
"That will scarcely do, William, for I ob

' The longest pendulum on this continent
swings -in tho technological school at
Atlanta. It is a heavy pear shaped piece
of iron attached to a brass wiro forty
two feet long. The upper cud of the
wire is pivoted in a steel plate bo as to
cause the least possible friction. Thc
swinging of the pendulum gradually de
scribes a circle on the floor in a direction
following tho eun, showing in this that
"tho earth do move."
Directly under the pendulum is a large
circlo divided into twenty-four parts, of
flftin degrees each, to correspond with
tho hours of tho day. The north polo is
placed directly under tho pendulum and
tho meridians of longitutlo meet there.
Tb.e parallels of latitude make smaller
circles inside the first.
Dr. J. S. Hopkins, president of the
school, who made and put up the pendu
?Un, performs the experiment a follows:
THe iron is brought 10 the edge of the
circle in tiie meridian of Atlanta and let
swing across. Apparently it goes straight
across, but gradually it traverses the
circle in the direction, taken by tho buu
and opposite to the revolution of the
earth. The pendulum not being dJvectJy
over tho axis of tho earth, does not move
in exactly the came timo as tho sun, but
falls behind some hoars a day. It is eaid
that if it were at tho north pole, where
it would bo immediately oyer iue axis, it
would traverse the circle in exactly
twentyrfour hours, and at tho equator i!
z.it traverse 1 t all. fcr cimviry

The riu!:ir Idea That It Mas 1. lived
from Amerigo Vespueei Disputed.
The bulletin of the Paris Geographical so
ciety, liieh has jiit 1k';-u h-siied, nt;iins tin
account by M. Jules Marcon of (vriuiii fur
ther researches which ho has made into the
origin of the name "America." As far I ack
as 17, he published a paper on the 1.11110
topic, which attracted much alUntioii lit. tho
time, mid he h;is hinco devoted murii l;;bor to
an investigation of early historical docu
ments in which the New World is naii-M.
Tho pe;ular notion that America was so
called from the Christian name of Aiu. i igo
Vespucci is, he says, w holly niifoim-h d, !.d
he sums up his conclusions iu this way: 1.
Amcriquo is thu Indian numo of the itwit.!i
tains between Juigalpa and I.ilx riad in tho
Province of Chontales. which separate b!:i.
Nicaragua from the Mosquito coast. '' l.e
word in the Maya language signui-s "the
windy country," or "tho country where tl;;
wind blows always " L. Tl i Chri.-tian n.-.-um
of Vespucci was AllK-rico iu Italian and Sj-!:i-ish,
Albcrieus ia Latin. This particular
name is subject to uu euormous iiinubcr of
variations, as the nomenclature and calen
dars of Italian end Soani-h siiints i.f li.e
periotlshow; but nowhere is there oy.y -aeli
variation of Ainericus, Aniwi-igo, Amerigo,
Alnicrigo, etc., ot;d none of these is eitlu r a
diminutive of a variation in use in Italy,
Spain or France, for AlUrico or Alh. i t, 4.
Deforo I.VJ7, when Jean Hasin ut f:,;:i:it pit
published the name, it ia 11.it to 1k found i:i

in Trance, Germany and Italy it has v .teitcd

rique, mid that tho rain? was repo.i ted by
the ollicers and tuen iheso fxpeiiiLions, and
Schoner, tho geographer, declared lit I'.l.i
that tho name was already populnr in Eu
rope It is beyond question that one edition of
Vespucci's letter on his third voyage has tho
name Amerigo in tho place of the Christian
name. Nineteen editions had AH-ericux, and
subsequent Italian edition, had Aiberioo, The
one with Amerigo on tho title page wus pub-iish;-d
in hi!, but 11. llarcon suggests that
this w;ts never intended to be a variation of
Alber'eo, but rather an adaptation of Amer
