It has been wisely said that the soun!, tike the sun, has its atmosphere.

Mr, Edward McClure has lately published a little book on the names of famous places in England and their derivation, and it is jn- teresting and. often amusing. to find old friends traced back to their beginning and discover what curious aspects they used to Wear. The writer often = disputes etymologies hitherto unquestioned. Says one reviewer: Lichfield, for example, did not receive its name from the corpses (Germ: leich, ¢p lych-gate) of a thousand Christian martyrs, The present name is a contraction of Lyccidielth--Lycecid again being an abbrevia- tion of Lectocetum. The people of Lichfield, whose city arms consist of a field covered with the slain, will hardly thank Mi. Me Clure for dispelling a cherished illusion of many centuries. Again, we have always be- lieved that in Venta Belgarum, the ancient name of Winchester, we have the Latinized form of the Celtic Gwent, Our author shows conclusively, by a most interéSting chain' of evidence, that Venta is a Roman prefix mean- ing market; so, too, in the case of Venta Silurum, the modern Caerwent. We trace the original Durobrivis through Roribis, Hrofibrevi, Hrofesbreta, Hrofes- castir, to Rocliester, and barely recognize the modern Hexham in the ancient Hugustalde- sim! A trismph of curtailment is found in Autun for Augustudunnm, and the. tricks time may play with names may be exemplified in Hew Goose for Uch-goed--ie, above the wood, and' Beggary Island, off the coast of Wexford, representing au earlier Bekeria-- i.e. Little Ireland. Mr. McClure Kindly lets some of his per sonal friends have: a litle light on theiy patronymics too. = Mr. Casement was once Mac Asmundr, and Mrs. McCorguodale, had she lived some centuries earlier might have rejoiced in a husband with the name of Mac Thorketel, softer to the ear and more impos ing to the eye. The Haldanes were original: ly Half-Dane, but Macdougal is an immense improventent on Macdubquill (son of the black foreigner) for the Norseman was known as Fingaill, the fair foreigner. As the reviewer spoken of above says, the book enables us to visualize an almost for gotten past. ---------------- Curious Tombstones. On a gravestone in the parish churchyard of Great Yarmouth, England, there is sculp- tured the unusual representation of a clown seated in a tub, which is being drawn down a river by two swans. Beneath this stone lies one of the many victims who were drowned years ago by the collapse of an iron suspension bridge on which. they had crowd: ed to see a clown pass underneath in the manner. described." The feat; which was a novel form of advertisément by a travelling circus, was actually performed, but the rush of peopie from one side of the bridge to the other after the man had passed under caused tire ttagic ending. A fight took place in Maine not many years ago over an artificial forget-me-not. A gentleman sent it to 4 damsel whom he knew, and it fell into the hands of the elder brother of the lady. There. was nothing the letter that contained the Hower to indi: cate why it was forwarded, not a word of a the epistle alluded to it, but the "brother challenged the sender. Each fired at the same moment, both. fell dead, and to this day no one knows why the artificial forget-me- not was sent, Japan Church Literature. The Japan Church: literature fund report for 1909 is an unexpectedly full and interest ing little pamphlet with a .cut of "The Fukosha," the new Church bookshop in Tokyo, on the cover. It contains lists of the tooks published .in 1909, the books being translated and prepared. Of the elevn books published, S.P.CK. bore thie expense of 4; 5 were paid. for by the JCLF. Translators have been secured who will take an interest in' the translation they are making and the committee would rather delay publicatior than give the work to those who would not bs enthusiastic over it. The SP.CK. promise: grants towards various branches of the work bit donations frem friends are nesded to pay a thoroughly competent Japanese to examine manuscripts, the secretary needs a Japanese to assist with letter-writing, and at least one permanent translator is wanted. The Bishops of Japan, three Japanese clergy and Rev Egerton Ryerson are the committée of the literature movement. The Happy Horse. Prof. James says that "the attitude of an happiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly." The happy man needs no placard or his breast. His face, his speech reveal his inward spirit." That the grace of a cheerful happy. disposition can be cultivated is beyond question. That a man can mike possible in his horse this 'same state of peace and con tent no one will deny who has studied horses and drivers. So good a judge as the presi dent of the Boston Work-Horse Parade has said that he has sometimes discovered on the horse's face the same look of happiness and kindly good feeling that he has seen shining in the face of the driver. About everything that 'a man touches sooner or. later btomes a revelation of his character, not only the human companions of his. hearth and home but his dog and his horse and his cattle will surely in timé "proclaim the man."

Norham Castle 1s one of those fine old ruins which are famous in British uatidual history, but which have been rendered even more familiar in modern times by poetic treat- ment. Built in 1121, by Ralph Flambard, Bishop of Durham, this was for a long time regard- ed a5 the "most important fortress between Berwick and Carlisle. From earliest times it was the centre of border strife, the Scots making many attacks upon it, and sometimes with success. + In 1136, and again in 1138, the castle was captured by David and his Highlanders, and once more, in 1513, it fell--to James IV. of Scotland: Alexander, King of Scots, made an unsuc- cessful attack; and in 1497 James IV. after a 'fruitless effort lasting sixteen days, was compelled 'to raise the siege. Kings bave slept within walls on many an -occasion. John paid two visits, in 1209 and again in 1211. In May, 1291, Edward I. came hither to meet and de- cide between the rival claimants of the Scot- tish Crown, Edward II. also visited Norham, and greatly added to the strength of the castle. The see of Durham, too, dd much towards its maintenance, and Bishops, Rutha!; Pudsey 'and Tunstal are named among its chief benefactors. On the death of Tunstal, in 1559, it was detached from episcopal jurisdiction, and transferred to the Crown; but from 1583 it was' no longer preserved as a place of de- fence, and with this epoch the more romantic part of its history closes, Norham, with its castle ruins and fine old church, full of richest interest is a favorite with holiday seckers in the North at this time of the year. these crumbled Royal Burial Places, Of the thirty-seven English Kings and Queens who have reigned since the Norman Conquest; several are not even buried in British soil. Six- teen are buried at Westminster, and seven at Windsor; Queen Victoria is buried at Frogmore, which is adjacent to the Royal Borough, and the remaining thirteen arp distributed about the country and the Conmtivent. George II, who died at Kensington, wa, the sixteenth and last Sovereign to be inter/ed at Westminster, Fe died on October 25th, 1760; his body was removed to the Princes' Chambers at the House of Lords on the 'roth November, and was interred the following day with gorgeous ceremonial.

Sonie | historians have stated that Cromwell, visiting ' the vault at night, pulled away the coverlet and. disclosing 'the placid face of the decapitated monarch, murmured, "Cruel necessity." Four of the Stuarts were buried at Westminster--James the first, who died at Theobalds, in Hertfordshire, in 1625; Charles II, "who died 6th February, 168s, and was interred in the Abbéy on the 148): William III, who died on March 8th. 1702; and Anne, who died at Kensington in August, 1714.
