Most of the family names in this group are the outgrowths of a given mime which was quite widespread la medieval England, having been intro- duced by the Normans, but which has become obsolete to-day as a given name.

Here, while still a young man, though through no fault of his own, he failed, and was "hammered on the Stock Exchange" â€" that la, announced as insolvent in the awe-inspiring cere- mony still employed there, more dread- ed by brokers than any other conceiv- able do^m. It is the Earl of Birken- head, the present Secretary tor India, who writes of that epoch in Lord Read- ing's life: "Inexperienced', penniless, almost friendless, it might have seem- ed that his career was ended almost before it was begun. But it was at this point that the resoopce and the re- siliency ot the young man flnst made themselves felt." Began to Study Law. He abandoned business and took up the study of law, and in due course passed his bar examinations. Then began one of the most brilliant of re- corda- as practicing attorney. In five years he had repaid every penny of his Stock Exchange debt. And he made a success of a kind never duplicated, be- fore or since, as earner of fees. Lord Birkenhead says he earned more money than any common-law prac- titione'r at the bar has ever made. When he was at the head of the English bar he entered Parliament as a Liberal. But he did not Immediately succeed, or ever e&tablish a parlia- mentary reputation, mych to the sur- prise ot his colleagues. Perhaps too much was expected ot him. He did, however, become Solicitor General, and later Attorney General, which he remained until 1913. Then came his bitterest failure â€" the Marcoui scandal. He was no longer the mischievous boy, or the adolesrent stock-broker. He was the most dis- tinguished lawyer in England, and law officer of the Crown. .And together with Lloyd George he was implicated in a charge ot having use<l Cabinet In- fomiatlon to speculate in Marconi shares. The incidents would have ruined almost any one else. "Every one," writes Lord Birkenhead, "who knew Rufus Isaacsâ€" personally or po- liticallyâ€"knew that he was one of the men who are absolutely incapable of doing any act which they believe to b» wrong. Never Excused Himself. "He never sought to den.v or pal- liate an admitted indiscretkin. His was. In fact, the case of a lawyer who brings the brains ot Solomon to every one's business but his own. To a man ot scrupulous integrity aJld of an al- most feminine senaltlveness, the months that parsed miut have been somewhat Uko a long and terrible nightmare." The Marconi affair dM not ioterfpr* with his promotion.

Lord ' Birkenhead lauds him as "a great dip- , lomatiBt • • • Hid. charm, hte tact,| his pjitience, his lucid iutniligence and { hJH incredible grasp ot detail combine to give him an equipment which tew diplomatists, even among the great- est, have enjoyed."

And then he was ofiored the Viceroyal- ty of India. Achievement In India. As Viceroy, Lord Reading's achieve- ments may be flald to be still under scrutiny. He reached India in the most serious crisis In its modem history. And during his stay the crisis has sub- sided. Lord Reading, the Liberal, has been patient to the point of woefully exasperating the dle-har^e, who think of India as a land that can benefit most by intimidation, swift blows and flrmnesfi. These old die-hards point out that while Lord Reading met and pleaded with Gftiandi, it was Lord Lyt- ton, Governor of Bengal, who imprison- ed him, which without doubt under- mined his power. But India Is slowly growing pros- perous. Its financial crisis has itassed, the sectional antipathies are burning tower, and the hatred for the British is sinking â€" perhaps only temporarily. If, during his next year, which will be the Earl ot Reading's last year as Vice- roy, this process gains impetus, and a, warmer co-operation between the governing and the governed develops, ha will have silenced his critics. Then he will return to a well-earned retirement (he la almost 70) as one ot the most distinguished Englishmen living, and probably one ot the two most distinguished Jews of his time the other, of course, being Einstein.

Thing Puzzles and Word Puzzles. In an interesting Ftench book, writ- ten nearly fifty years ago, It is pointed out that puzzles or enigmas have al- ways been of two kinds â€" one popular and familiar from remote antiquity among peasants and iillteraes as well as the more scholarly, the other liter- ary and enjoyed only in more cultured society. Theee two sorts' may be call- ed thing puzzles and word puzzles. Thing puzzles, some of the surviving examples of which are very old, are often simple and rather child i£ib; for example, here is one ot the oldest: "I wander about my home; water flows paet. Men come; the house goes out of the windows, and I am a prison- er. What am I?" The answer, which needs some ex- plaining and really is not very good, is, "I am a flsh caught in a net." Better known, at least outside ot Prance, is another of the same kind, of which a literal translation is: "Four feet upon four feet: Four feet awaiting four feet: Four feet do not' come: • Pour feet go away: Four feet remain." The solution in a receut free ren- dering runs: "A cat on a four-legged chair was sit- ting. Waiting an enemy caf and spitting. Cat dotli not come: Cat doth go: The chair remaipeth: cheerio!" Thing puzzles are indeed long out ot fashion; nor doM it appear likely that they will return to favor. Word puz- zles of many kinds â€" anagram, acros- tic, charade and cross-word puzzle, de- manding wider knowledge, less naiv- ete and livelier wits, have their ups and downs, come and go and return again. The present fad for cross-word puzzles will no doubt soou wane. But good ones are really clever and re- QuIre cleverness. Perhaps a century hence everybody will be hard at woii over them again.

Everywhere by Escalator. The modern slogan is "Why walk?" Every new building ot any size has Its lifts, and the escalator principle, in use at most of the big tube railway- stations, is also spreading. For Instance, at the French port of Havre, It has been decided that one of the steepest streets â€" the Rue de Mont- morencyâ€" shall be provided with an escalator to replace the existing path- way. The steps of the escalator will be sufficiently wide to accommodate j bicycles and perambulators. I Experts are not surprised by this j innovation. They tell us that they look forward to the time when all the streets of our large towns will consist of huge moving tracks on the escalator principle. All kinds of trafllc will be carried with the exception of very heavily loaded loiries. There will be Junctions at the crossings, where you will simply step from one moving track to the other, according to the direction In which you were going. What would this cost? The most up-to-date moving stairways in the world are those at the Bank Tube Sta- tion, London, for which $500,000 was paid. Here one travels at the rate of about a mile an hour, but we are told that on the flat three miles could easily be attained. If one chose to walk along the mov»^ Ing track It would thuB be Quite easy to travel at the rate of six miles an hour. Wha'.e-meat is rej^arded in South!
