AMILY PEDIGREES THAT RUN BACK
TEN CENTURIES.
National Vanity Borilir* on the Ab
surdly Grotesque, and Playing the Gen
tleman Ilaa Been Called “the Endemic
Disease of Hpa!n.M
It is related that a yrmng guard, hav
ug neglected to pay the usual salute to
i Spanish duke at the court of Madrid,
xcused himself by Raying that ho did
lot know tho offended nobleman's rank.
"My friend," replied bis grace, "the
afe rule is to assume that everybody in
he palace who looks like a monkey is a
Tamlee of the first class."
The truth is the Spanish are a thor
mgbly mongrel race, and their conceit
f themselves amazes us. Their country
ias probuhly been oftener overrun and
onquered than any other territory of
quid extent in Europe. Phmuician,
lartbnginian, Homan, Vandal, Visigoth
.ud Moor have ail successfully made it
:heir stamping ground, ami the effect
)f all this upon the pure Castilian
ilood, whatever that may be, is imh li
ily stamped on every really Spanish
ace.
Hut playing tho gentleman lias been
ailed "the endemic disease of Spain, ”
ind the iiHtionul vanity is something
trotosquo. One of their histerians seri
ously advanced the theory that the first
nlmbitants of tho country "arrived
>y air,” so impressed was he by tlieir
luperhunmu qualities that nothing short
)f a descent from the sky could account
For them. A subsequent historian, how
mtr, after a long and grave discussion
if the question, finally announced bis
ipinion tlmt “they more probuhly came
jy land."
After this we need not be astonished
bat the Spanish claim to possess tho
driest families in Europe. The surpris
ing circumstance is that tlm claim is
lot wholly without foundation. Their
Family names can in some cases he triio
sd back to an incredibly remote perils),
though it must not lie assumed that the
iriginal blood persists in any purity.

Spain is tliii house of Pacheco, whose
estates are not far from Carteia, now
onlled Oartayu, in Andalusia. Plutarch
tells us that when Grassns fled from
Italy ho concealed himself for eight
months at Ximcna, near Garteia, in
oaves belonging to a Spanish gentleman
named Pucici-us. Cicero also mentions
this generous Spaniard, and there can
bo no doubt that bo was one of tho an
cestors of tho Pacheco family, whoso
name is obviously derived from bis and
who still own the oaves. This carried
them back about 2,000 years, to a period
antedating the Christian era, but it is
possible to traco the line much further.
The name is clearly of Phoenician origin,
being ultimately derived from “patai
coi,” tho word by which tho Tyriuus
designated the carved figurehead of
