A Native African Food.

The native food of the Malunda coun-
try, in southern Africa, comprises ma
n;oc and that alone. 1t Is a plant par
ticularly adapted to wet, marshy soil,
says the author of I'm Remotest Ba-
rotseland." 1t takes two years to arrive
at maturity and willie growing re-
quives very little attention. The root
when full grown is about the size and
ias very much the appearance of
German sausage, although at times 1t
grows much larger. One shrub has
several roots, and the extraction of two
or three In no way impairs the growth
of the remainder. When newly dug it
tastes like n chestnut, and the digestion
of the proverbial ostrich can alane as
simulate 1t raw, but when soaked in
water for a few days until partly de-
composed, dried on the roofs Of the
huts and stamped 1t forms delight
fully white soft meal far whittier and
purer than the best -four. Then 1t Is
beaten into a thick paste and eaten
with little favoring composed Of
locust or caterpillar, which the ma
tlyes seek In decayed trees. Another
way of eating this native luxury is by
baking the roots after soaking them
and eating 1t "a you would banana.

never left the third baseman's handi
The play happened in this way: Andy
Moynihan was playing third base for
the Pastimes of Chicago in 1868 when
tournament was held. The Occiden-
tails of Peoria were the opposing team.
In the first inning, with runner on
first, the batter drove liner straight
over third. Moynihan showed up his
hand, the ball struck it and stuck
fast In the hand. The crowd cheered.
An instant later they saw something
was wrong. Moynihan, wrlthing with
pain, was running around third base.
The base runner at first saw something
was the matter and ran down to Sec
ond. Then he ran to third and finally
trotted home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball, strik-
ing MoynihAn's hand. paralyzed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight in
his hand 1t was Ave minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fin

Ing characters in George Elio,'s great
historical novel "Romn,a." the scene Of
which is III Florence and the period
that Of Savonarola's career. The idea
of writing the hook occurred to the
novelist while on visit to Florence
and on n second visit to the city, In
1861 she began to carry out her prof.
ect. The subject and design were for
egn to the authors genius. but she
spared no pains in making thorough
study of the locality, the people and
the literature of the Italian renais-
sance for the purposes Of her story.
In her own words, the work 'plowed
into her" more than any of her books.
She began 1t, she says. as a young wo-
man and finished 1t us an old woman.

At one time. when De Quincy was
living at Lasswade In simple and
friendly relations with the people, who
respected him not as writer, but as
a good neighbor, he formed very de-
lightful friendship with little child,
a boy Of four years. This lad, q
nephew Of one of the housemaids, was
the constant companion Of the great
man and would forsake any amusc-
ment for the pleasure Of walking
round. dull Nttle garden with him.
One day somebody heard this CONVEX
sation between the two comrades:

the child.
De Quincy considered and then
said, with careful elaboration, 81 am

The child interrupted him with some
scorn: IA laurustinus! Lad, dye no

They were rehearsing a new play.
and every one was nervous. for the
first night was close at hand. The play
was tragedy, yet at Its end the dying
heroine, as the curtain descended, said:
Three beers, please"
Those words concluded the play. Yet
they were entirely out of keeping. The
concluding words should have been, 81
die, but, since have saved you, die
happy" or something to that effect.
A dramatic critic new to the business
asked how it was that the tragedy end
ed with "Three beers, please" and the
stage manager said:
Superstition. 1t is always thought
bad luck in rehearsals of new plays to
speak the last sentence before the open
ing night. He who has the last SEN
tence to speak substitutes some mean
lngless phrase for it. II he dared to
speak the true phrase the prospects, of
the play would be thought doomed

The French were first mentioned a.
the Franks, tribe of warlike Ger
mans in the northwestern part of the
region now known as Prussia. They
came into notice about 24O A. D., and
with other German tribes invaded the
Roman empire in the fifth century and
settled in the country now known as
France. The word Frank. or Frank
man, means freeman. After their con-
quest of Gaul they named the country
Frankenric, or Franks kingdom.
