Africa's Name,

The name Africa was given by the
Roman conquerors after the third
Punic war, B. c. 146, to the province
which they formed to cover the terri
tory of Carthage. 1t was most prob
ably adopted from the word AIRY
gah," the Carthaginian term for col
ony. This original Africa was limited
IN extent. Its borders reached, ac-
cording TO Pliny, from the river Tusca
on the west, which divided it from
Numidia, to the bottom of the Syrtis
Minor on the southeast. though Ptol-
envy carries it as far east as the bot
tom of the Great Syrtis. making IL
include Numidia and Tripoitania. In
later days the whole African ccnti-
nent took it's name from this part
which in It's narrower limits CORE
rponded with the modern regency or
Tunis and was called by the Greeks
Lydia. Africus, the stormy southwest
wind. was so called in Italy because
It blew from Africa.

In France during the reign Of Louis
XIV. dancing took a very prominent
position among court festivities, and
many members of the royal family took
part in the complex ballets of the time.
Louis himself, no mean performer, took
lessons for twenty years from Beau
champs, who was called the father of
all dancing masters and upon whom
the king conferred the title doctor as
a special mark of favor. Beauchamps
had the honor Of appearing as partner
with the king in the minuet dance
which was introduced in 1850 In
France, and no court ball was opened
in Europe for century and a half
without 1t. About the year 1901 a
royal academy of dancing was formed
under the auspices of Beauchamps.
Lulli, Moliere and others, the object Of
which was to elevate the art and check
all abuses. OF this academy Beau
champs was chief, with the title of di-
rector.

COULDN'T PLEASE HER.
The Woman Whose Husband Never
Had the Right Change.

RAD the Right ChanSe.
A prominent broker remarked the
other day that he thought his wife was
the hardest woman to please in the
wide world She was always asking
him for money when he was home.
John" she would say, give me AZ
cents. The grocery boy is here with a
BILL 81 can't give you At cents" he
would reply. "but here's half dollar"
"Oh, you're the funniest man; you
never have the right change" A dozen
times day she would ask for a few
odd pennies.
Finally the broker went into the
subtreasury and obtained 500 worth
of bright new pennies. There were
10000 pennies, and he packed them in
a suit case and lugged them home.
Then he went to blacksmith shop
and had an iron tripod made, and upon
this he hung the suit case filed with
pennies.
The next day the butcher came with
his bill 1t amounted to S5.67. John
said the wife. "give me $5.67.' "You
will find It on the tripod he explain
ed. The wife returned in moment
in a great rage, why, john she
cried, I'm not going to count out 567
pennies for this man! I'd be ashamed.
It's wonder you can never have the
right change"-New York Herald.

BOGUS ANCESTORS.
A Paying Business In England That
ThrIves Upon Snobbery.

lnhVe6 upon ohoppcFys
The most tragic form of snobbery In
a country place is that which concerns
itself with the tracing of a pedigree.
In my travels came upon man who
confessed that he had made thousands
Of pounds out of the conceit and snob-
bishness Of people living in country
places, and especially people who hap
pened to possess names of a high
sounding character. His method OF
work was simple. and only the ultra
snob could be taken in by it.
He would glance through local di-
rectory and select few names of the
Fitz-Blank style. A short visit to the
town would help him to determine the
character of the persona snob is cas-
lily distinguished, and he would return
to his place and write that he had
come into the possession Of portrait
which he had every reason to believe
was that Of an ancestor of Mr. Fitz-
Blank.
There would be few quaint hero
glyphics on the back Of the canvas
showing that the original was native
of the town in which Mr.. Fitz-Blank
was residing. In nine cases out of ten
that picture sold at price which
meant a profit of 100 per cent to the
dealer after he had paid the little 1tal-
ian artist who turned out the pictures
by the dozen. In many country house
today there is a fine old full length
portrait Of an ancestor which was
painted in a murky studio somewhere
down Whitechapel way.-Margaret Bal.

"If all deer that are wounded In the

dead deer than are taken away" said
an old hunter. But all Of them do

ly wounded. have killed many a
deer that gave evidence of having
been so severely wounded that its hav.
ing survived to take the range again
seemed almost miraculous.
II once shot and killed buck that
had rifle bullet encysted near the
skin of the left shoulder but there was
no wound on the outside of the skin
to show that II had entered the deer
there. Investigation showed wound,
long healed. near the top Of the right
shoulder, Enthusiastically made by that
rifle bullet, which must have passed
clear through the deer to the left shoul-
der, where its speed was spent and 1t
lodged Just under the skin.
Besides that severe wound that deer
had been pretty well filled some time
or other by buckshot, for took out
nine from one side Of him, where they
had broken several Of his ribs. These
two ugly wounds had been inflicted at
different times. and in spite Of them

Not so long ago knowledge Of Latin
was essential to an orator, and long
quotations from the Roman poets en-
bellished every debate. James Payn,
the novelist, was once at dinner par
ty where a learned, distinguished and
very dlgnlfed statesman insisted on
quoting Greek. The lady sitting next
to Payn asked for translation. Payn's
Greek was rusty. Accordingly he as

beau stopped at florists to order a
box of flowers sent to his lady love. At
the same time he also purchased de,

the card for his girls box he wrote,
Hoping these may help you bear the

"Thank you so much for the flowers,
but why did you write Sympathy on
the card?"
There was no word from the Other
