It comes with something of a shock to realize that'th.e Prince of -Wales is now thirty, Probably the fact that he is still a bachelor makes one forget that he is Lot still in his early twen- ties, ':for the average Prince would, have been married by now, or pa least have Borne definite union in view, The Prince of Wales is individual in his tastes; an maybe there in. some Peter Pan quality in him which re- fuses tA grow up, Formal ceremonies do not appeal to him, the glamour of a` great marriage does not appear to • thrillhim, and it is said that lie pre- fers smallhouses, to big ones, "What on earth do I want a place that size for?" he demanded, when it Was first :mooted that; he should pre-. e ntly .occupy Marlborough House, "I should get lost in the place, and the evening papers- would have placards. out: 'Mysterious Disappearance of the Prince of Wales!'" He holds his bachelor apartments in Fork House in far more regard, but it seems that he may have. to 'give them up, after all. Even, princes can- not always be choosers. The Value of Health in. Dollars. Queen Victoria's dentist, Dr. Edwin Truman,. who made .his fortuneby-pro- ducing a composition that prevented the sea from eating away the material of the Atlantic cable, was a healthy man—and simply because he was, healthy he became increasingly rich. The cable company thought they had made a better contract with him than £10,000 down when he preferred to close with their offer of an, annuity of one thousand pounds, but as it has proved, they were wrong. Long afterwards, writes Mr. Walter T. Spencer in Forty Years in My Book- shop, Truman said to me with a chuckle: "I've lived forty-four years at a thousand a:year already." And as a matter of fact he lived for fifty. A Circus Crowd' for the General. General'Pershing's favorite story, of himself is -so we are assured—as fol- lows: ol-lows: ' In the summer of 1921 while paying a personal visit • to friends in. West Virginia and being within a couple of. hours of Charleston by motor I accept- ed an invitation from the governor to visit that city. On less than an 'hour's notice'I motored the twenty-five 'miles and was cordially greeted by the gov- ernor in his office. After a few min- utes' inutes' conversation he • led the way through the main corridor to the front of the building, where much to my as- tonishment a crowd of some ve thou- sand people had assembled. A table had been provided as a rostrum from. which I was to make a speech. Later that afternoon at an informal gathering of some twenty or thirty citizens I mentioned 'my astonishment at finding such a large number of peo- ple assembled on such an exceedingly short notice. But the explanation. quickly name from a number of the company. who' had not previously taken. part in the conversation - "Well, mebbe you didn't .know it, general, but Charleston is one' of the best circus towns in the United States." The Coming of the Birds. On that far day when •time itself was new, And all the world„ -was rainbow -starred. with clew, Thebirds . were fashioned with the tenderest care, Then loosed to fly upon the sunlit air, Anil s.orne wore golden plumage, some snow-white, Others flashed past on• pinions silver .bright, • Brawn hued were some, there sped a ruby crest, And. nearer, one with heaven on its breast. High -and more high—the happy .min- strels soared, Song beating upon song in ,true ac- cord; Up to the walls of Paradise they went, Where angels crowded, ' mute with wonderment; ' To watch the shining hosts go circ- ling by.; Then, sudden, through the music rang a cry- And on the moment every sound was stilled; Save for a little angel's voloe, joy - filled: "Look, look, my brothers, oh! what beauteous things Are these dear thought of- God that come 00 wings.” Imogen Clark.

Source—A IocaIity, This family name quite clearly be- longs in the classification of those w;hich'. have been derived from the names, of :places, for it is traceable through the early docunie'nts with the prefixed "de" meaning of, It Is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all laude have given more family names' than the big cen- tres of population. The reason foie this is, in the firstp lace that people flocked from the small communities., where there was not so great a need for additional names, to the big cen- tres, .where there was not only need, but where the mention of a small. place served the purpose of q differen- tiation quite :accurately.• In, the sec- ond 'place, the big communities • gave rise to .comparatively :few family namea because it constituted little .dif- ferentiation to speak of "Roger de London," when there were thousands of "Rogers from London" to be found all over 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 ''ley," a meadow or field. It more, prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Saxons as "Beverlac," or beaver -lake. qtr OR lV1acC YciLL Variation•--MacCorkle, Racial Origin—Scottish. Source—A given name. Here is a family name which, tliough' purely Scottish Gaelic in it sorigin as such, traces back ultimately to Norse sources, and if you bear this name there is a good chance that you have a line of ancestry reaohing back to the Vikings through Scotland. The name of 'MacCorkill or Mac- Corklo was borne by one of the. branches or seats • of the Clan Gunn,. which was decidedly one of the fight- ing °Lane' of the Highland's, its history vying with that of the MacGregors. In records of desperate fighting. • But the given name from which MacCorkill is derived is Thorketil, a relic of the old pagan Norse religion,. and the meaning of which is "Thor's kettle." The kettle or cauldron was a utensil which played a.large part, iig- uratively,: in the worship of the Vi- kings, and is found to -day as an ele- ment in a. lot of family names, and even still is given names in the Scan- dinavian countries. . There is a great deal. of Norse blood in Scotland, principally along the north and west coasts. At one period a considerably part of the coast was in the hands of Norwegian settlers who retained their allegiance to the Norse kings., and .who later took their places among the Celts of the High- lands in, full Gaelic clan organization.

We often hear this., or some similar remark at the Royal Academy or any other picture exhibition. Very often, the true answer would be "chance." It is frequently a purely accidental cir- cunistancethat suggests a picture to a knight of the palette. Everyone who has been to St. Paul's Cathedral., has seen Holman Hunt's beautiful picture, "The Light of the World." ., 'Concerning this the painter says: "I had been rereading the . Testa- ment, and had read as far as Revela- tions when, anxious to finish the book took myBible to m 'I Y one. evening, up bedroom, and suddenly came upon :a passage .which, as by a flash, impress- ed the picture on my brain." Two of Sir Luke Elides' pictures were inspired by accidental circum- stances. These' are "The Return of the Penitent" and "The Widower."

During a rest period SirLuke caught his model looking at and petting the baby as tenderly as any woman; and 'so im- pressed was he with the unrehearsed scene that he put it on canvas. Secular aa well as sacred literature has inspired pictures. Marcus Stone was so impressed by Dickens' descrip- tion of Mr. Doinbey's Joy at the birth of Poul, and his -consequent neglect of Florence, that he painted the scene.

Only two men, so far as we know, have ever passed a night virtually on the brink of the Horseshoe Fall of Niagara. Those men, says a writer in Wide World Magazine, are Gustave F. Lofberg and, dames H. Barris, who were employed as dredgers. On an afternoon in August, 1923, their scow broke its cai5ie, and they were at the mercy of the swift current above the falls. There seemed to be no hope for them. Down they swept, and then suddenly the heavy scow ran aground almost on the brink! The minds of :the watchers on shore, says the writer, worked like lightning. They quickly, decided on a line and- a breeches buoy as a method of rescue. The Coast Guard station at the mouth of the Niagara River, fifteen miles or so distant, was immediately called on the telephone, and Capt. A. D. Nels,an and his crew were asked to come to the rescue. It 'was about three o'clock when the scow broke adrift; at a quarter past four Captain Nelson and a squad of men started for Niagara Falls in 'a big army motor truck. They tarried with them the life -line cannon and other necessary apparatus. The ques- tion that agitated every mind was whether the fierce current. would lick the scow away before the men could be saved? It was `a race between the river and the rescuers. When Captain Nelson and his men arrived they quickly set up the life- line cannon on the shore east ef the power house. The captain sighted it and fired. High out over the river the projectile hurtled. It made a remark- able flight and then settled directly over the scow. Lofberg and Harris grabbed the small line as it fell and at a signal began drawingit in. Attached to the shore end was a heavier rope, but the twomen had a hard time hauling it across the swift current Though those on shore 'helped all they •could; it took two hours to get the rope over. Then those on shore carried the end up on top of the power house and made it secure. As the work progressed night came .on, and big searchlights were brought intola : For a time the rescuers n Y kept at their task, but atter a while they reluctantly agreed that their ef- forts must cease' until •daylight. Out on the scow Lofberg and Harris were seen to lie down to rest, if rest. were possible for men aboard a strand- ed ,scow that at any minute might be picked up on a rising flood and, tumb- led over the brink of Niagara. It was a night of awful suspense, not only for the poor fellows on the scow and the. men engaged in their rescue but for the thousands of men, women and. children who had lingered on the scene. Daylight on the morning ,of August 7 saw everyone alert. The scow still lay where it had run aground, though it might move at any moment. Quickly all the lines were cleared, and after a little delay the breeches buoy was. sent out to the castaways. Lofberg helped his companion into the buoy, and before long he landed safe on the Japan. -"My marvellous paper is as solid as the hide of an elephant.
