on one or more of the birds it or they
give him such n raking with beak and

not the addition by his descendants. The

unusually active. Its logs are long, beak

cries that awaken the crocodile, if asleep,
giving it opportunity to escape.
Similar instances of the guarding and
attending to the physical comforts of un-
calmly brutes by feathered beauties are

the rhinoceros and elephant both have

con. traces Jne Iamny from me rortn a'evr
this fashion: The Washine tons. he says.
were q Northern family, who lived for some
time in Durham and Lancashire. From
Lancashire they came to Northampton.
The uncle of the first Laurence Washington
was Sir Thomas Kitson, one OF the great
merchants, who in the time OF Henrys VII.
and VIII. developed the wool trade IN the
country. That wool trade depended mainly
on the growth of wool and the creation OF
sheep farms in the midland counties. There
Is no doubt, therefore. that the reason why
Laurence Washington settled in Northamp-
tonshire, leaving his own profession, which
was that Of a barrister, was that he might
superintend his uncle's transactions with
the sheep proprietors of that county.
Laurence Washington soon became Mayor
OF Northampton, and. at the time of the
dissolution OF the monasteries, became
identified with the cause of civil and reIioo
ious liberty. and gained a grant of monastic
lands. Sutgrave or Sotgrave was given to
him. For three generations they remained
at Sutgrave, taking rank amongst the no.
biiity and gentry OF the country. At the
end of three generations their fortunes
failed. They We're obliged to sell Sutgrave,
and retired to Brington. From this de-
preston the Washingtons recovered by a
singular marriage. The eldest son Of the
family had married the half-sister of George
Villiers. Duke of buckingham. They rose
again into great prosperity.
About the emigrant who was the great
grandfather of George Washington it is
not easy to discover much. except that he
was knighted by James 1. in 1923. and thar
there is in the county not only the tomb OF
the father but that of the wife of the youth
who lies buried at Islip- on the-Nen. He
emigrated to the United States in 1867.

tanned by modern students and observers
to be founded on fact. His writings, as
translated, are highly interesting. He
seems little given TO the marvellous,
but commentators accept him as accurate
whenever referring to anything based on
personal observation. His episodes are
skillfully interviewer, one entertainingly
leading to another, with the language
simple and to the point. So this OBJ
serving old traveller tells of curious
relationship between the little bird called
trochilus-or, by the pathological card,
Hyas egyptiacus-and the crocodile.
After mentioning that all other beasts
and birds avoid the saurian monster,
Herodotus says:
When the crocodile issues from the
water and opens his mouth, which he does
most commonly toward the sunset, the
trochlus enters his mouth and swallows
The leeches which cling to his teeth. The
huge beast is SO pleased that he never in
jures the little bird.
Native Egyptians call the bird "zic-
zac. and supplement Herodotus with the
