The Mor,th's Name
When the year began in March, as the
seventh month September was properly
named, but when the calendar was
changed by placing two months before
March, the name, like those of the three
following months, October, November and
Decenbcr seems inappropriate. but
through all the mutations these names
have not been changed. as others have,
though julius Caesar added a day TO /.
September, which Augustus again took
away, and it has since had only the
Augustan quota, In old English days
this month was called "Gerst monat, i
or barley month because of the barley
harvest.
September Saints.
The history of September saints Is cs-
recially interesting, and none GS>them
more so than that Of st. Cuthbert, whose
fcte day Is September ith. An ancient
Northumbrian legend represents ST, Cuth-
bert forging beads for the faithful TO
use as rosar!es, seated high on rock Of
Holy Island, and using an opposite rock
for an anvil. These so-cnllcd beads have
a hollow cen tor and bear n fanciful re-
semblance to a cross. They arc shown
by modern science to DO joints Of the
articulatcd stems of crenoids. The shore
Is strcwn with them after storms, and Sir
Walter Scott mentions the legend of st.
Cuthbcrts Beads In the following lines
from "Mnrn1ion':
ION 4 rock. by l.indisforne [
4 Saint Cuthbert sits and tolls to frame
The sea born beads that bear his name;
Such tales had Whtby's fishers told,
And said they nigh, his shape behold,
And hear his anvil sound:
A dcadened clang, Il huge, dim FORM
Seen but and heard when gathering storm
And night were closing round"
Walter Scott
