happened to be out of luck and short on

again, is a name that might be corrupted
into Green, for De Creon, as such, is not
now to be found and in the Roll of Bat
tie Abbey by the Duchess of Cleveland,
the remark is made that c and G were
used indifferently. Grendon, a place in
Warwickshire, might have some connec-
ton with Green, and Hamo de la Creme
vel Grue cling. quod Dam" Ed. D gives
rise to the thoughts, What is Grue? Can
Grue be the same as Green for Hamo to
be de la Green vel Grue? If Grue be a
surname, why call it's owner by a less
distinguished one-Green? Was Grue
meant for GTne?
Going further afield in search of fore
fathers, Grun was mans name in Ger
many as early as the ninth century (Fos-
termanns "Namenbuch"), and Grun,
Gruen. Grein Gren, Gryn, was the name
OF a family living in the Rhineland having
the rank of graft. whose ancestor was
bursomaster CHellbach's "Adels Lexicon').
IN connection with Gryn. the last spelling.
Greyne occurs in an early English will at
Lincoln, A. D. 1417, and in the De Banco
Rolls, Edward III and vi, and Grayne is
also found as a surname. Gron is like
(Barber's British Surnames'O. Again,
there was a Heinrich Won Chreine Cor
ruptable into Green), who built the castle
OF Chre!ne, on the Danube, in the twelfth
century. A British word for alder. guern,
could have been given as mans name,
and corrupted into Green.
The difficulty of finding and discrimlnat-
ing the remote source of their name and
blood confronts all the possessors in com
mon OF this surname Green, than which
none can be more puzzling. The different
spelling, 1t Is superfiuous to say, affords
no clue whatever to the searcher in those
remote fields, inasmuch as it only relates
TO how the word Green itself was spelled
at different times. The research for each
person really Is to connect the earliest re-
liable portion Of any particular Green pedi-
gree that IS his with some one of whom
1t may be shown how how he came by the
surname. Yet on account Of the presume
bly, far greater number Of attic, de la, DE
and del Greens. it is conceivable that
scribes may have taken this as a constant
form and have written some down thus
who had their name from some of It's other
sources, and thus brought in fresh COM
plieations or wrong Inscriptions.

'jour de vernishage," is an event of much
importance in the social world. Then all
the actresses go to show themselves to So
ciety and all society goes to see the stage
folk There might as well be no pictures
so little does the conversation turn upon
art.
So, while the exhibit of the Academy
of Design is similar, it is also to be diff
ferent; for here the pictures will be first
and the people second.
Vanishing day is the opening day. Then
admission is only by card. Each exhibi-
tor can bring few friends and there are
a few special invitations. Tea is served.
Pictures are criticised and, of course, good
gowns are worn. The next day the acad-
envy is thrown open to the public for an
admission fee. but the glory of varnish-
ing day has passed. On vanishing day
the models are all there posing by the
side of their pictures.
The pictures this year will include many
portraits, for the exhibit takes in the
portrait show of last year and has other
paintings besides. There are several
thousand applicants with pictures and the
many alcoves of the academy will hang as
full Of paintings as can be crowded side
by side and on top of each other. The
hanging committee consists of those emil
nent academicians. r. NJ. Shurtleff, Louis
Moeller and w. West Clinedinst.
And there is a judging committee con-
sisting of Louis c. Tiffany, D. w. Tryon.
Louis Moeller, Arthur f. TAFT. William l..
Sonntag. l.. G. Sellstedt, Horace Robbins
and Augustus St. Gaudens.
In all their doings the academy commit
tees are quite arbitrary. They decide and
there is no recall. A picture is made or
marred by nod or shake of their au-
gust artistic heads.
incidentally the managers are quite in
dependent in their decisions. You read
that mo packing boxes" will be received
and that the committee gives you a lati-
tude OF about forty-eight hours to get your
picture there. This means that YOU must
time its arrival in town and must get d
picture dealer to receive it. After un-
packing II he personally conducts" 1t TO
the rooms of the academy. After the
show he calls and gets it and takes fl
away. II he neglects to do so within a
week the picture is thrown in the cellar
or held "at owners risk" But that Is
what great thing IT is to conduct a pic
ture show.

things before which lovers Of art like to
stand. He has a new one in the academy

INFLUENCE OF MOSQUES.
They Have n Peculiar One on Orien-
tai Life and Thought.
From the Contemporary Review.

From the Contemporary Review.
The mosque Is not merely a house of
prayer. As its name, "Djami," indicates
it is also center of attraction and a
place Of meeting. Djami brings together
the individual Moslems. and by grouping
multlplies the forces of Islam. At sun
set a great silence falls, with the night on
the eastern city; all noise is hushed, and
one hears nothing but the resounding voice
of the Muezzin calling the faithful to their
duties. Additions and prayer are but SYM
bolic publications of the body and the
spirit in preparation for a duty even more
noble and more civic, that is for public
elaboration on the affairs of the country.
The ceremony of the Selamlik-the visit
of the sultan every Friday in great state
to the mosques a spectacle which much
interests, and indeed amuses strangers
who pass through Constantnople. But
this procession, which closes NOWADAYS AT
the threshold Of the mosque, formerly
went on, with even greater majesty and
significance, into the interior Of the sane
tuary. There the commander of the faitn-
full after presiding at prayer and press
ing the hands of his fellow believers, gave
public account to the assembly Of the
more important acts Of his government.
This splendid institution gave opportu-
nifty to all the great personages of the en-
pire TO take part in the deliberations and
TO exercise influence over the conduct OF
affairs. Monarch and private subiect
linked together by a common faith. worked
together for a comomn interest. Islam
ism furnished the direction and the bond
OF union; the object Of all was the pursuit
of truth and justice. The citizen, what
ever his social position. was thus trained
In the art Of administration, and Il was
this school which produced the great men
to whom we owe so much important prog
ress, So soon as the government failed
to recognize their worth and their service
