Dafrodll and asphodel-the latter, ac-
cording to Homer, covered tho meadow
haunted by the shades of departed he
roes-are etymologically the same. Old
time Englishmen confused the two
plants, which are quite different, and
1t was reserved for later generations
to restore its true spelling to the true
Rsphodel and restrict daffodil, with its
mysterious 3D." to the flower now
known by that name. Formerly 1t

OLD ROMAN NAMES.
rhe Peculiar System That Was In
Use BY the Nobility.

The Peculiar System That Was In
Use BY the Nobility.
The noble Romans were peculiar in
their system OF nomenclature. They
he'd the praepomen, the nomen and the
cogiomen. The first Of these dlstin-
guished the Individual ~ wdsaaalva-
lent to our Christian or baptismal
name II was usually indicated by a
single letter, as A. for Aulus, or by
two letters, rs Ap. for Applus, or three.
as Ser. for Servius. The nomen was
distinctive Of the gems or clan and has
no corresponding appellatlve among US.
The ccgnomen was placed last and des-
ignated the famillae, precisely answer
ing to our surname. Sometimes a
fourth name was added, the agnomen.
In Consequence Of q renowned action,
some conspicuous event OF life or fea-
ture Of character. scipio, IN addition to
bis regular names, was STYLED Africa
nus after his conquest OF Carthage.
The name Gcrmanicus was assumed
BY those who distinguished themselves
in the wars with the Germans.
In female names the Romans indulg-
ed but small variety OF appcllation
and fancy had nltle or nothing to do
with their Invention and bestowal.
When there was but one daughter in a
family she received the feminine ter
mlnatlon Of her gentle name. rs Tul-
lia the daughter Of Marcus Tullius
Cicero, and octaviae, the sister Of Oc-
tavlus Caesar, etc, which names were
retained even after marriage. When
there were two daughters one was
called Major and the other Minor, as
Cornella Major and Cornclla Minor.
If there were more than two they were
distinguished by their number, thus:
Prima, sccunda, Tertia, QuartG, etc.

GREEK COINS.

How the Ancicnts Tested the Purity
OF the Metal.
The first coins Of gold and silver that
have come down to us are now dated
as a rule in the time of Croesus, who
lived about tho middle Of the sixth
century 3. @.
1t may readily be imagined that
mere lump Of gold, supposed to be Of
O certain weight, would be subject to
skepticism unless it were guaranteed
by some recognized authority. So, in
order to save reweighlng and testing
at each transaction, these ingots or
coins were stamped with the authorita-
tive mark OF q prince or state. So
stamped they become the true coins
in spite Of the fact that. contrary to
modern custom, they were not at all
regular.
But, in spite Of the guarantee that
might be afforded by the mark Of q
state or prince, we find the Greeks
applying certain tests to determine the
genulneness Of the currency offered to
them. Plating was easily detected by
jabbing the suspected coin with some
sharp instrument. At other times the
touchstone was used. One which was
known as the 'Lydlan stone" was sup
posed to reveal proportion Of foreign
metal as small as a barley corn in
slater. Another test, in the case Of sill
yer, was to polish the coin and then
breathe on It. If the moisture quickly
disappeared the metal was pure. Yet
another way to detect alloy was to
heat the coin or coins on redhot iron.
II the metal was unalloyed 1t remain
cd bright, if mixed with other sub
stances It turned black or red accord
ing as 1t was more or less impure
