ANGELA

/. a NGEL-LIKE is the translation of
Angela, from the Greek angeles,
meaning messenger, which the Romans
interpreted as heavenly messenger"
and hence "angel." Angeles first be-
came proper in the Byzantine empire.
1t is believed to have begun as an
epithet since it comes to light in Kon-
stantinos Angeles, young man of
: noble family whose beauty caused him
to be the choice of the Princess Theo-
dora Komena in HOO. Because of the
beauty Of the family, Angeles became
its surname
The misdirected crusade of the
Venetians brought it to Greece and a
monastic saint, who preached at Pa
lermo and was afterward murdered by
wicked count whose evil deeds he
had rebuked, was one of the first to
bear the name. The Carmelites
claimed st. Angelo as a saint of their
order and the name, in both its mascu-
line and feminine forms, caught the
fancy Of Italy.
tions, due perhaps to it's inseparable
associations with beauty, and also to
the fashion of complimenting women
as angels. The derivative Angelica is
noted in romance as the faithlesS lady
for whose sake Orlando lost his heart
and senses. But she was a gratuitous
invention of Boiardo and Aristo, for
Spanish ballads and earlier Italian
poets make Lin the faithful husband
of Aida. However, Angelica obtained
that character for beauty which has
made the name popular through the
centuries. 1t has been a particular
fayorite with authors through all
ages of literature, particularly in mid
Victorian fiction, where its heritage of
fragile, virtuous beauty fitted it ex-
ceptionally for the name of its hero
ines. Angela, from time immemo-
rial has been applied to the fluffy,
youthful, unsophisticated type with
curly hair and wide innocent blue eyes.
The French call her Angelique and
Angelina. England has evolved the
derivative Angelot. Angola, Anglo
lettta and Angiolota are the Italian
forms. The Teutonic versions are En-
gel and Engelchen. Amelia is Polish
and Amelia and Anjelina have been
evolved In Bohemian.
1t is fitting that the pure beauty of
Angela should have the pearl as her
salismanic Jewell It assures her charm
and purity and popularity. Should
she dream of pearls, she will find new
faithful friends. Monday is her lucky
day, when she wears a pearl, and Z her
lucky number.

First American Tannery.

In 1880 the first tannery in America
was built in Virginia. A second one
was established a few years later at
Lynn, Mass. The tanning industry was
well represented among the early set

corded that no fewer than 81 tanners
had come over to the new colony be-

DIPPING FOLLOWS SHEARING
Ticks Are Common and Interfere With
Thrift of Sheep-Treat Lambs
Well as Ewes.

Ticks are still too common and are
the cause of great loss by interfering
with the thrift Of the sheep. Most
sheep growers follow the practice Of
dipping soon after shearing in order
to get rid of the ticks. Prof. G. w.
Hickman Of the university's animal
husbandry department says that it is
necessary to dip the lambs as we'll as
the ewes, because the ticks tend to
leave the older sheep for the lambs.
Any standard creosote dip will serve
the purpose. 1t pays TO do a good
job and see that every part of the an
imal is thoroughly wet. The flock
should be examined in two to three
weeks and if ticks are found another
dipping is in order

VenezueIa's Pearls.

The island of Margarita, off the
coast of Venezuela, is one Of the most
celebrated centers of pearl fishery.
The Spaniards, in the days Of Colum-

out with pearls, and the pearl-produe-
ing oysters Of that locality have never
since failed In their pr0ductiveness.
Metal 'coops are dragged over the
oyster beds, and the interest of the

thus secured are opened. A black

Avoid Plant Loss.

The percentage of loss is greater as
the plants attain size, but early trans
paintings go a long way to obviate
this loss by developing strong fibrous
root systems, especially in the case of
plants which, undisturbed, form tap
roots, or a long root that goes straight
down some distance before giving off
branches. When this long root has de-
veloped far the plant receives a Sc
