with him that he would not drink a
gallon OF liquor at a draught. The

feat was to be the title deeds of a val

The prince ate nothing all day with
the exception of salt herring, and
In the evening, In the presence Of the
count and four witnesses, he raised
a gallon jar to his lips and drank
steadily until he set it down empty.
The title-deeds of the estate were
handed to him, but hardly had he re-
ceived them when he sunk to the
ground and died in a few moments.

Greeks 1T was called Libya, and by
the Romans, Africa.
With respect to the word Africa,
Suidas tells us that it was the proper
name of that great city which the Ro-
mans called Carthage, and the Greeks,
karchedon. 1t is certain, at least.
that it was applied originally to the
country In the immediate neighbor~
hood of Carthage. that part of the
continent first known to the Romans.
and that 1t was subsequently extended
with their increasing knowledge, till
1t came at last to include the whole
continent. OF the meaning of the
name. the language of Carthage itself
supplies simple and natural explain
alton; the word Afrygah, signifying a
separate establishment, or in other
words a colony, as Carthage was of
Tyre. SO that the Phoenicians Of old.
at home. may have spoken of their
Afrygah, just as we speak of our col
onies. Be that as IT may. the Arabs
of the present day still give the name
of Afrygah or Afrikiyah to the terri

marked that the name seems not to
