The Brotherhood of St.
 Andrew and It's History

ent The Council reports showed 2o6
 Chapters in good standing with mem | bershfp of 3.708.
 During the year 1888 the Junior De-
 partment was. organised. The organt- zation of this department was one of the most hopeful and far-seeinR ac- tfons of the Brotherhood. If means
 that the future men of the Brother hood will come largely, from this de-
 pertinent. where they win have been 1 trained for intelligent and active work.
 The twenty-ffrst birthday of the Brotherhood was fittingly marked by the annual convention held in Phtla- delphia. September 29-ao. october 1-2. 1904. This was the largest convention of the Brotherhood ever held, 2.f74 se- nior and junior delegates having reg istered.
 The annual convention in 1908 was held in Milwaukee, Wis. the conven- ton for 1909 will be held in Providence. R. II. .g- s --- The Council reports for the six months ending March IS. 1909. show B12 senior and 2s7 junior chapters in good standing, with about 6,376 senior and s.204 junior members. or total membership of about S.SSo ~naen and lboys of the church in the Brotherhood today. The annual international Con- ventions of the Brotherhood of St. An | drew. of the Protestant Episcopal Church. as held in the United States. are the largest eatherinss of laymen | in the world To such proportions has this Brotherhood of St :, Andrew grown that 1t Is to be found actively engaged
 in not only the United States. Eng land and Canada. but also in the West Indies. Australia, Japan and China; and in fact 4n nearly every country in which the church is found at work, the Broth : erhood of St. Andrew Is usuaily act iyely engaged also. For the spread

 Brussels. April 10.--M. Georges Mar quet. manager of the Ostend Kursaal and Gambling Club, has once more been condemned by the Bruges Tribu- nal to one months Imprisonment anu q fine of $500, for having kept and ex- plotted a gambling house contrary to Belgian law. The Judgment explains that the Ostend Kursaal is run at an annual loss of about sS4.000 in receipt of which dividends of 60 and 30 per cent. are paid to the shareh oldres of the company. of which NJ. Marquet is the director These dividends have, it is recognized, been paid out of the profits from gambling. M. Marquet's associates have also been fined.
 It is believed that the action of the court will mean the permanent sup pression of gambling at Ostend This is the third time the NJ. Marquet has been arrested for contravention of the anti-gambiing laws. After the frs, sentence four years ago he escaped by a technicality. A year ago he was sentenced to three months imprison- ment, and . fine of s600. but tiie Court of Appeal at Ostend altered the sen- tence to fine of $1s00.

ian rocco, roeca, Spanish roca, Portu-
 guese roca, rocha, is much disputed.
 The most plausible solution, according
 to French etymologists, fs that pro-
 posed by Diez. who sees in the French
 roche and Italian rocfa, hypotheti-
 cal Low Latin adjective rupea from
 rupes rock" and in the allied roc and italian rocca an equivalent adjective
 rupica which became rupca and then
 rocca by assimilation. There are dif-
 faculties in this but not as great as
 fin other explanations.
 The Latin rupes is frequent in place.
 names. as iu the Tyroiese. Reopen and
 Rofen. It Is derived from the stem of
 the verb rumpo "break," coKnate with
 the sanskrit ropayati. ''break off." L-
 thunfan raupai, measles, eruptive dis
 ease." Gothic biraubon ana English
 rob.
 The deuterotheme is the French
 maure or more. black. dark which has been explained under Maury in No. sf of this series. Tracy, Tracey.
 The Tracys are from a famous Nor
 man family that come over with the conqueror." They derive their name from their estates at Tracy Bocage. in the arrondissement of Caen. Nor
 mandy. They became lords of Barns taple in Devonshire. where the par ishe4. etc, of Wooicombe- Tracy. Bo- vey-Tracy. Minet- Tracy and Brad- ford- Tracy. bear witness to their
 local ascendency.
 The male line failed early, but the heiress married John de Sudley, whose son. William, adopted the maternal surname. Some psychologists assert that this William was one of the as- sassins of Thomas a Bcket. Others assert 1t was a different William de Tracy. A curse was laid upon the assassin and his seed forever that wherever he or they should go, by land or sea. the wind should always blow in a direction opposite to their course. So the traditional couplet arose:
 All the Tracys Have the wind in their faces.- The surname on the Hundred Rolls of t273 is de Tracy. It is not in the Domesday Book. but is found on the Roll of Battel Abbey.
 Ire remoter origin of the place name Tracy is hard to trace. Tracy Bocage | Is called Traceium in the documents of the eleventh century, There are other places of the name as Tracy-le-M Monte and Tracy-le-Val, both in Picardy. and Tracy sur Loire in Nivernafs. It is in the case of the last named only that we can get back to any earlier
 form than that cited above. Here we find the name appears as Draptiacus in the sixth century. We. therefore, assume that such was the orgin of the name in the other places also. ' Draptiacus is a syncopated form of Drappetiacus, .ethe estate of Drap- petius." A personal name Drappetius could safely de assumed as a Latin ized form of the Gallic Drappes. geni- tive Drappetis. the name of chief tain of the Senones in 51 B. C.. as re- ported by Aulus Hirtins. the author of the Eighth Book" of Caesars "Galifc War" So sturdy an antagonist of Rome as Drappes was sure to have
 namesakes among the Gauls. Drappo (n) and Drappus are found in Gallic in- scriptions.
 | The name is then connected with the Galhc drapplrs, "cleth, garment
 whence the Provencal. Catalanian and French drap, Italian drappo, Spanish l trapo, Old High German trabo, may have been borrowed.

The legend was Greek. but if was the Western Church that adopted 1t and caused the spread or zhe name.

 The legend of the virgin martyr made a strong appeal to the fancy Of Chris ltianized Hungary and led to the eager adoption of her name. That land pro- duced two more saints of the name in the eleventh century. Thence also rama Margaret Etheling. the wife of Malcolm Ceanmohr. and the sainted Queen of Scotland. who made the name lthe most popular feminine name in sScotland. where 1t still holds It's nu- merica1 prinacy. q
 From Cremona the name passed to Germany as Marguerite and to Prov ence as Marguerite, and became in- mensely popular in both lands The first English Margaret of royal blood was the daughter of Henry III, niece of Marguerite the Queen of St. Louis.

 been defnitively established. The sug- xestion of Prellwitz connecting 1t with the Sanskrit manjari, "a bouquet, bunch of fiowers." from man5us, 'beautiful, lovely" is not convincing in its dini-

 gest that we have heSe a compound from the roots mar, "the sea" and gar,

The surname Roouemore halls from Languedoc, a province in South France. Here is the village of Roquemaure in
 the Department of Tarn, the little city of Roouemaure in the Department of
 Gard. and the town of Rochemaure in
 the Department of Ardeche.
 The last two are called in early re- cords Rupes Maura ''Black Rock" and
 such must have been the origin of the name of the first also.
 We have an extended description of only the third of these places and that
 shows the appropriateness of the name It is situated on the right bank of the Rhone, upon the flank of volcanic ] mountain at the foot of three rocks of basalt. of which the central one rises to height of about 100 metres This l is crowned by the ruins of an ancient castle that must have been very strong and very large. It was fortified by steep masses of basalt and by strong walls, high and quite thick.
 | The other places probably owe their names to some@hat similar topograph- teal features. The country is volcanic l in origin and large rocks or black ba- salt are characteristic feature of its l landscape. The name Roche. Rocque. ! or Roaue indicates primarily a rock I and secondarily strong castle built of rock, or on a rock. In northern France we find the equivalent word roc.

MANY USES FOR LEFT-ovERs
Remnants of Dishes May Be Eeonom- ically Applied in Number
 of Ways.

The few spoonfuls of leftover mashed potato can be used to form the foundation of rice soup. If mixed with cold chopped meat and rice. with an egg and suitable seasoning, they make appetizing croquettes.
 The last spoonful of jelly can be added to pies or cooked prunes.
 A hard-boiled egg is useful as long as there is piece of it in the house.
 Unpalatable soup meat Is made very appetizing when chopped fine and mixed with a small can of salmon to form croquettes.
 Old bread just now takes its new form in breadcrumb cakes. Soak the bread In buttermilk and use four to thicken the batter.
 A half can of tomatoes can be used to make tomato soufle. Season with salt and pepper. add butter, strain and add cup of cream. Serve with salt ed crackers.
 A saucer of baked beans can be heated with catsup in pan and a spooful on toasted crackers serves nicely for the monday luncheon.
 Tough steak should be chopped and mixed with diced potatoes and then baked. Cheese grated over this dish improves the flavor.
 Dad pieces of fruit such as one banana, an apple, or an orange, are mixed with lemon gelatine.

come back with a championship. Miss Campbell, however, literally conquered all along the line. Her success is no matter for wonder. Trained in one of the finest Scottish schools of golfs she has steadily forged her way to the front rank. For four or five years Miss Campbell has been the best golfer of her sex on this side of the Tweed, and she came within an ace of winning the ladies' open champion- ship several times before that honor ultimately fell to her at Birkdale in May last. Considering that the
 courses in America present many diff faculties to the visitor from this coun-
 try. it is no easy matter for British
 golfers to do themselves justice there.
 but Miss Campbell has evidently be- come familiar with them very speed fly, and playing at the top of her game won all her matches with something to spare.
 Miss Teacher, one of the other British golfers who took part in the championship, acquitted herself well. These interchanges of golfing courte-
 sies tend to strengthen the bonds be- tween devotees of the royal and an cient game all the world over, besides greatly enhancing the interest in open | tournaments. It is to be hoped that Miss CampbelPs victory in the States will have the effect of sending more i American ladies to this country next
 year. The ladies open championship
