The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever inven- tion of an Austraaleau bird of large size called tbe "brush tarl:eye' It. saves the fowl a great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her "clutch" of eggs in a neat circle, and then she and her prate scratch together a big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces ileac. whereby the eggs are kept at proper temperature for incubation. From time to time the male bird gives the heap a scratching over, as tf to make sure that the temperature de- veloped is neither too high nor too low. IIe doers not permit the newly hatched young ones to emerge, himover, until they are fully fledged and able to take care of themselves, Then he helps therm, to get out. Credit won by lying dying. is quick in Surnames and Their Origin SPENCER Variation—Spenser. Racial Origin—English. Source—A title of office. One of the most peculiar points about the social and military system of the Normans was the manner in which occupations which to -day we look upon as of an humble, household nature, were exalted into titled offices. The answer, of course, is that in those days each feudal castle, the social unit of all who were not tillers of the soil, was, though a single "household," a. small nation in itself, largely tudependent and owing vas- salage to counts and kings only as a unit. Titus the keeper of the "family" purse was in reality the "secretary of the treasury," and the head of the household kitchen was the commis- sary-general. The "despenser" or despencer," un- der the feudal custom of the Normans, was the officer responsible for the "buttery" or food warehouse of the castle, an office of great responsibility in days. when sieges were laid,. often not to. :be lifted for months or even years. • This title, however, when coupled with the word "le" (the), as of course it was, soon became too clumsy even tor the Norman tongue, with the re- dult. that it did not take many genera- tions before the more common form of the word was "spencer" or "spen- ser." There were many, many castles In medieval England. Hence there are many Spencer, families to -day. BEVERLEY Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon or Nor- man-French. Source—A locailty. This family name quite clearly' be- long1 in the classification of those which have been derived from the names of places, for it is traceable through the early documents with the prefixed "de," meaning of. It is paradoxical that the 'smaller communities in all lands have given more family names than the big centres of population. The reason for this is, in the first place, that the people flocked from the small com- munities., where there was not so great a need for additional names, to the big centres, where there was not only such need, but where the men- tion of a small place served the pur- pose of differentiation quite accurate- ly. In the second'place, the big corn - =males gave rise to comparatively few family names because it consti- tuted little differentiation to speak of "Roger de London," when there were thousands to be found all aver the country. Authorities differ as to the origin of the place name of Beverly, which is in Yorkshire. Some derive it from •"belvoir" (beautiful view) and "leo," a meadow or field. It is more prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Savons as "V.everlac, or beaver -lake.
