To Bs Sharp.
The Aryan root "ak" meant "to be
sharp," and the Idea of sharpness has
followed It at least Uuoiigh 10.000
years Into all of the family of lan
guages of that tongue. It is quite like
ly that the property of sharpness was
conceived of by these ancestors fro.u
handling shells, the first kuives that
man knew. That cutting edge was in
ferred to by "ak" long before the most
primitive people had learned to put
an edge ou flint When these Aryans
wanted to express the idea of sharp
ness of mind they used the same word.
'l')s root went Into the tireek, where
It berime "nkros," meaning pointed.
In Sanskrit it Is "acre," meaning the
same thing. In the Latin we find
"acrliuunia," signifying sharpness, from
which our "acrid" comes. The Latin
also has "m-er," meaning sharp, and
"acus," n needle. In the Anglo-Saxon
It lniaine "cag," an edge. So the idea
uf sharpness rum. all the way through,
and we have It In our "acid," "acute."
"cdj;e" and "ax" as well as In "acrid"
and "acumen." Argonaut
The Alexandrian Library.
(unar. a fanatical caliph who over
ran Kgypt about the middle of the sev
enth century, proclaimed that, since
the Koran contained everything that
human beings ought to read, no other
bonks had any right to exist, so he
runtleimied to deHtructiou the immense
library at Alexandria founded by the
I'tolemles and coustantly enlarged by
their successors until the advent of
the Saracens. How enormous It was
can be imagined from the fact that for
six months the manuscripts supplied
the fuel of 4.000 public baths. It was
the most terrible blow ever indicted
open literature.
Genius Rewarded.

personal beauty swooped down on the
Inattentive boy nud found him draw

"Please, sir," said the victim. In a
state of terror "please, sir, I did not
J mean to make It so like."
