Treason should not be confined to

cessities of life because the present

New Enoland's Name.

The pilgrims had nothing TODD with
the naming Of New england. That
name was coined by Captain John
Smith Of Pocahontas fame and one Of
the founders Of the Virginia colony.
In 1914 he explored and mapped the
northern coast, then called North vir-
ginia, and renamed 1t New England.
The Mayflower pilgrims did not arrive
until 1920. and the charter granted the
new colony adopted the name used In
Smiths map several years before.

FERocITY ON the STAGE.
8aIvinj as Othello Was a Terror to His
Cesdemona.

6alvini as OtheIlo Was a Terror to His
Desdemona.
So abandoned was Salvini at times
that it was difficult to believe that the
force was at all governable. Though
there would have been time just be-
fore the fifth act to run over my i'm
portant scene with him, it was not
done. In this act Desdemona's bed
was placed in what seemed from in

right up against the bed.
Before the act began Miss Brooklyn,
who played Desdemona with sweetness
and appealing grace, implored Salvini
to be gentle. "Now, Mr.. Salvini," she
begged, do be careful, won't you?"
He playfully promised. When, after
she was asleep, he drew the curtains of
the bed aside and gazed down upon
her l stood within five feet Of him.
The scene that ensued was at such
close range very poignant. / did not
wonder that she had implored him to
be gentle. AS he was choking her with
the pillows she kept gasping In broken
whispers OF real terror between her
heard outcries and means: ooh, Mr..
Salvini! Please, please, MI. Salvini"
Sickened and fascinated, I watched
him, and ! did not make connection
with the real world again until Emilia
that vigorous and intelligent actress,
Mrs. Bowers-made her round off

Murder, murder!!' Then l rushed
headlong to Iago, for l knew that l
must shortly go on.
OF what happened that first night l
have no clear picture. I was dazed by
the sudden transition from the dark
ness where l had stood and seen Des.

the torches of the stage and a world
which in comparison to the one l had
just left was palpable acting. Docile-
ly l hurried after Iago and took my ap-
pointed place. But l should not have

terror rooted me rather than given me

An Ancient Work on Anotino.

The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is the "H%alieutica" of Orphan,
a Greek poet who dourished in the
time of Severus, A. d. 1913, from which
we learn that many articles in fishing
thought to be modern were known to
ancients.
We also learn from Atheneus that
several other writer's had written on
fishing some centuries before the Chris
tan era.
