Pomeroy is a family name belonging jto that group which originated as des- ,criptive of the locality in or near .whiclt the original bearers of the -name. lived. It means "apple yard." It is an old name in'England, being traceable back to the days of Norman eleminance, in which, together with the period following it, most of the ;English family names developed into such from mere descriptive: phrases. The original form of the name, as it ds .found 'in the old recorder is "de la ,Pommeraye" ("of the Appleyard"),but tl> a Saxonized vergion appeared quite early, at first in the form of "Atte Ap- pleyard," and later whit the" prefix, -eliminated.

Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. Source—An occupation. The word "marshall" is one that has run the full course.., from the most humble to the most dignified of mean- ings. It is an Anglo-Saxon word, the original form of which was, under Norman-French influence, "mareshal." It was a compound word, made up of "mare" and "schalk," the latter mean- ing "servant." The "marescal" was originally, then, a 'servant of the horse," that is to say, he was a horse -groom or a blacksmith. But as the Norman-French over- lords' household were of military or- ganization, the title came gradually to denote the more important ineaning of "master of the horse," and to be as- sociated with more dignified duties of a "military nature. In the course of time the "marescal's" duties became those Of "marshalling" the guests at 'bangttets and -important .functions. Hew important this was can be seen only le the realization that in the Nor- man'. social .organization this was a most punctilious matter, and from the fact that the: title has developed into the highest military bednor "that the French Go'vernment,'and that of Great ]3ritain also, can confer upon its generals.

The peacock prides itself in its tail, which it knows how to exhibit to ad- vantage when it suits its purpose., There areether birds which have just as much' reason to be proud of their tails. • A Japanese cockerel, known as the Yokohama cock. Possesses a tail of enormous length, so long, in fact, that special cages have to be designed for the bird. The height of these cages may be judged from the fact that the tail of- ten reaches ften'.ieaches a length of fl•om eighteen to twenty feet. In order to protect this long tail from damage; it is- al- lowed to hang over ; other perches ar- ranged in position for the "purpose..

Each Troop and Scoutmaster are under the supervision et a "Troop Committee" ot responsible citizens,usually Metals of the church, settee!, community as- sociation, club or other organization with which the Troop is connected. Through such, leadership the boys of the troops are kept interested in a larogramme ot play activities thnt are healthgiving and educational, They take long tramps, studying nature in all its forms. They learn woodcraft andhow to take care ot themselves in the open. They have troop meetings each week for study, handicraft, ex- periments, demonstrations, etc., and go into camp every summer under trained directors. In a hundred ways the boy's time is occupied. The programme is so varied and so fascinating to the boy that he simply hasn't time or opportunity to trail with an idle gang or to turn into the evils that beset the path ot the idle boy.
