They are not very plentiful around here. Will we be forced to be satisfied with sausage? ‘The sudden blizzard like weather of Sunday and Monday last, with winds of a cyclonic order, reminds us very forcibly that winter is not far off. Overcoats and mitts were in demand Monday when the mercury dropped 40 degrees in six hours, registering 6 degrees above zero Monday morning.

In the Channel islands the woman never Joses her maiden name. In Spain the | children write the names of both | parents, as Llarens y Monteverde. In “Don Quixote” is the following: “Casajo was my father's name, and 1, for being the wife of Sancho Panza, am called Teresa Panza, but by good right they ought to call me Teresa Casajo.”” In Scotland both names are preserved, and the woman is always known by her maiden name. In Wales it is the custom to describe the woman by her maiden name. The fact that a woman on becoming the wife of a man loses her identity is apparent in many portions of the Bible, when under the ancient custom man, on i to | of others.

The first to rule over all England was Egbert, king of Wessex, who united all the various petty kingdoms and be- came king of England In 827. The greater kingdom was disrupted from $78 to 938, when the Danes ruled north of the Thames. In the latter year King Edgar reunited the kingdom, ard since that time it has never been partitioned. Between Edmund Ironside (1016) and Bdward the Confessor (1042) three Danish kings ruled all England—Ca- nute, Harold 1. and Hardicanute. The first king of Great Britain was James I. (1603). The first king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was George 111. From the conquest of Ireland in 1172 by Henry 11. the kings of England were styled Lord of Ireland until the assumption of the titie king of Ireland hy Henry VIII, and there- after this title was used until the act |} of union in 1801.
