An old schoolmate Of Kipling writes
in 1.-The st. James Gazette" some en-
tertaining "reminiscences of the authors
early days. which show that there
really were a Stalky, McTurk and Beet
le. Kipling, however, was not called
Beetle but Gigs" in reference, of
course, to his particularly large spec
tacles; and it was by this name that he
was continually adjured by his COM
rades TO tell them stories in the DOR
mitory at night. During these seven
or eight years of school life this writer
declares Gigs" did not appear to his
school-fellows as a prodigy. In the
first place, he was always extremely
nearsghted, which was, perhaps, the
reason for his not taking any very
keen interest in either field sports or
athletics-a proficiency that almost
alone makes an English boy hero in
the sight of his school fellows. On the
other hand, Kipling was not by any
means a sweat He was not always

was seldom at the top of his class,
though to be sure never at the bottom.
He did not take all the prizes that came
in his way, and. he was not even IN
due course promoted to the office OF
.sub-prefect, although when he left the
college, in 1882 he carried with him the
well-earned first prize in English lit
erature. Only, he did seem to be able
to solve problem in ten minutes over
which another boy might have labored
for an hour. He was chiefly noticeable
K in his school fellows eyes for keen
wit and a flow of, language that would
only be suppressed by depriving him OF
his spectacles."

Notes and Queries: To cut his stick,
In the sense of going away in a hurry,
has long heen common expression,
though it is not heard by any means
so frequently as it was forty and fifty
years ago. 'Hey's cut his stick" equals
run away. Now, then; cut yer sticki''
equals be off. In playing cricket when
l was a boy, the record of runs for
each player was notched on long
stick, and runs were only known as
"notches' in those days. I have seen
the records of bigger matches also re-
corded on sticks by means of notches,
say, forty-five years ago.
