ORIGIN OF SURNAMES COME FROM ANGLO-SAXON AN!) NORSE MYTHOLOGY. Professor Weekley, In His Romance of Names, Has Dealt With the Subject in an Interesting and Instructive Manner. The study as to the origin ot surnames is more intricate than one who has never engaged in this diversion may suppose. The name of the present president of France, M. Poincare, appears to mean “square fist,” which could hardly need a coat of arms to go with it. The greater part of our English names ending in “Ing” are, according to Professor Weekley, in Ills Romance of Names, of Anglo-Saxon origin. Among these are Browning, Benning, Dunning, Kipling. Manning and Spalding. Among Anglo-Saxon suffixes greatly changed In their spelling and pronunciation are beald (bold), beort (bright), cytel (kettle), god (good), heard (strong), here (army), wan (man), mund (protection), roc'l (counsel!, He (powerful), weald (ruling), weard (guard), and wine (friends). The name Everett is from the Saxon Eoforhead, which also takes the form of Everliard; Gunter was Cundhere Redmond, the name of the great nationalist leader, is not Irish, but is from the Saxon Raedmund, neither is the name Parnell Irish. “Mand” and “Mund” were often interchanged so that from Eastmund came both Eastman and Esmond. The name of the fat knight, Falstaff, comes from the Saxon Fastwuif, and Hubert, Hubbard, Hobart and Hibbert have as their ancestor Herebeorth (army bright), and Regenmund came to be Raymond. The name Cytel is connected with the Kettle or Cauldron of Norse mythology. It survives in such names as Chettle. Kettle, Chell and Kell, whence comes the name Kelsey, the “ey” tending to confirm the opinion that the original Kelsey was an islander. Many names of common folk, the plain people, have been ennobled. Prominent among these is Stewart or Stuart, which became royal with Walker, tl e Steward of Scotland, who married Marjorie Bruce in 1315. It stands for styward. where sty means pen, but is not necessarily limited to pigs. “Perhans the most interesting group of nicknames,” says Professor Weekley, “is that of which we may take Shakespeare as the type. Incidentally we should be thankful that our greatest poet bore a name so muc J more picturesque than Cornal’le (Crow) and Racine (Root). As Bar< sley well says, it ie impossible to retail all the nonsense that has been written about the name of Shakespeare never a name in English nomenclature so simple or so certain in its origin, it is exactly what it looks —Shakespeare.”

You and I. One superintendent says that even yet he hears a teacher, now and then, say “Between you and I.” —Ohio Educational Monthly. Don’t worry. We are all liable to fall into bad grammar occasionally, even outside the halls of learning. “Between you and I” has become such an idiom that it looks al! right, and then, besides, it has a cultivated tone. We never hear it without suspecting the speaker is trying to run in some educated grammar on us. But the sad fact about this gentle invasion of cultured talk is that it has gotten a deep hold on society. We heard the other day a lady of the most fashionable style, and who gives club banquets, say “between you and I,” though, of course, we weren't the you she referred to. So we have become very charitable on account of these discrepancies, and our charity is enhanced by thfe report that a teacher now and then says "between you and I.” although she does not refer to us, although we might hope she did. Columbus Journal. The Great American Plumber. A heroic statue to the first American plumber as a companion statue to the figure of Liberty in New York Imrbor is the suggestion of Barry Pain, the English short story writer, wiio has been lecturing in this country. “You have a magnificent supply of bathrooms in America,” he said recently. “I never saw so many in my life before. Who started your Unitea States bath tub movement? I am going to try to find out. and think the first American plumber should be given recognition. Are there no statues in his honor?” Mr. Pain, who is nearly fifty, is making his first visit to the United States He is famous In England as a writer of short stories and a contributor to Punch, but this year marks the first American edition of his work —three volumes of which have just been published. New Bcadstring Fastener. The clasps or fastenings ordinarily employed on strings of beads, such as the popular pearl necklaces, are objec tionable not only for insecurity in many Instances, but also because they make a break in the continuity, and when they slip to the front of the wearer detract from the appearance. It has been suggested that possibly some form of fastener might be de vised which would include as its ele ments bead structures corresponding to the other units of the necklace.— Scientific American.
