And tho Missing Sword of the Duke of
Cumberland.
What became of the Duke of Cum
berland's sword, which was lost or
stolen at the Haymarket theater Jan.
16, J7497
1t was ON the night of the great
Bottle Hoax" According to adver-
tisement, a man was to play on a
common walking cane the music OF
every instrument now used to per-
lection, get into a quart bottle with
out equivocation and while there sing
several songs" besides doing other
things only a little less marvellous
more marvellous that the theater
should have been packed with spec
%tators, including many Of the nobility
and the Duke of Cumberland Of Cullo-
den fame.
The coniurer did not appear, but
one of the theater officials did and In
formed the house that all money
would be returned at the doors. Gum
berland was the first that few In q
rage" a contemporary account tells us
"and called to pull down the house
He drew his sword and was in such
a rage that somebody slipped in be

been heard OF nor the person who took

Keyport. July SIT has been de-
cided by the Carnival Committee to
hold the annual land carnival and
baby parade Wednesday afternoon,
August 3. The affair will be man
aged by the committee, which has
chosen Henry Salz, who has been
chairman for the last few years, to
fill hat position again this year.

Nothing has been done to start
the water carnival as yet, but 1t is

Curious Street Names.

The llst-ef curious street names Is
inexhaustible, Bermondsey possesses
d Pickle Herring street. Near Gray's
inn there Is to be found a Cold Bath
square. Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough in the slums of the east end.
But for really bizarre street names
n should go to Brussels. The Short
Street of the Long Chariot, the Street
of the Red Haired Woman and the
Street Of Sorrows are remarkable
enough to catch the least obserVant
eye. The Street of the One Person is.
as one might guess, considerably mar.
rover than Whitehall. But the cream
OF Brussels street names surely be-
longs to the Street of the Uncracked
Silver Cocoanut. This in the original
appears as n ponderous thirty-sis

Love. Honor and Obey.

The controversy about including the
word ''obey" In the marriage VOW Is
probably as old as the marriage cere-
mony itself. When Marion Harland's
parents were married in 1925 las she
tells us In her autobiography the bride
had 'laughingly threatened that she
would not promise to obey and that q
scene would. follow the use of the OBJ
noxious word In the marriage service.
The young divine, with this In mind or
IL a fit of observation-disclosures or of
stage fright, actually Numbered out,
Love, honor-and obey in all things
consistent" The costumes worn on
this occasion were hardly as modern
as the unfortunate amendment 1.-THE
bride wore a soft sheer india muslin,
a veil falling to the hem of the gown
and white brocade slippers embroid-
cred with faint blue flowers. The
bridegroom's suit was of fine blue
cloth with real silver buttons. His
feet were clad in white stockings and
low shoes with wrought silver buc-
kles,"

The Rrahman Funeral Pyre.

After the body of a Brahman has
been anointed with NJ oil the
two toes are bound together and the
two thumbs. 1t is then dashed to a
litter made of two long parallel poles,
to which are fastened seven transverse
pieces of wood. The shroud is very
simple, a large piece of cloth wrapped
round the body and bound with ropes
of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves
a will his face is not covered; other
wise the shroud Is brought up owe the
head. The burning ground, or CHAT, is
usually near a river, that those who
have taken part In the ceremonies may
purify themselves as quickly and as
easily as possible. Before erecting the
funeral pyre q shallow pit is dug and
partially filed with dry wood; the body
is covered with %splinters of dry wood
and sprinkled with panchagaria, an
in1ammable liquid, and placed on the
pyre and covered with branches and
roots, like a hut. The nearest relative
OF heir then takes a lighted taper and
sets fire to the four corners Of the pile
and leaves at once to perform the cere-
mony OF publication. The carriers, be-
ing of the lowest caste, remain until
the body Is entirely consumed.

There have been epochs at which rid

there was at the first ~glimmering of

half of the seventh century. This was
the age of Aldhelm. bishop of Sher-

Latin poets. He left a considerable
number of enigmas In Latin hexame,

his time there was a collection of Lat

used 1t, and we may infer that 1t was
then a recent product. The riddles of

MATAWAN NOT
INTERESTED In
TRADE BOARD
s,ecsar to tho EVENING NEWS.

Matawan, July Sit looks as If
Matawan is not going to have a
Board of Trade. Severa attempts
were made to have a meeting for the
organization of such a board, but
the response was not what might be
called enthusiastic. Only two or
three men turned out and, after ad-
journing the matter for one week to
another, the idea was finally aban-
doned without and definite date fixed
for another meeting.
There is no doubt that the inter-
ests of the borough could be greatly
advanced If a Board of Trade could
be organized. Other places have de-
rived much good from such bodies.
Matawan has many advantages that
only need developing, or bringing to
the attention Of the outside public.
1t Is thought that In the fall the men
will become more interested and per-
haps another attempt will be made
to get them together.

slightly pressing this end on the soft
moist clay the inscriptions were made.
The tablets, having been inscribed on
