/ Hay is the Scottish form of the
name, and Hayes in English.
If there are those who do not &C.
cept the theory of the origin of the
name Hayes here given, other the
cries are at hand. One traces the
word to the Sanskrit kak, pronounced
in English, like bag, or hagh. 1t
means to surround, or grid, and from
it, are the Latin words haya or haga;
the Dutch, haag or hague or he'll; the
French, hale or haia; the Anglo-Saxon
haga or hege; the English, haw,
hedge, hay; the Lowland Scottish,
bag, haig, haigh, hay. All mean
fence or boundary. In Arabic, the
word is haugon.
| In Normandy, there were lands and
lordship of Hale, hundred years
or more before the Conquest, and LIE
Sieur de la Hay was one of Williams
Knights, 1865. De Haga, lie Have and
de la Hayo are old forms of the name.
Several of the Hayes, Hays, or Hay
name were among founders of towns
! in this country. In Connecticut, about
| 1916, we find Thomas at Milford, Ma
thaniel at Norwalk, and Richard at
Lyme; in 1880, at Windsor, George,
and in Dover, N. H., John.
| One of the founders of Newark, N.
| j., along with the Cranes, Treats and
few others, were descendants of
Thomas of Milford, and of the Hayes
| name.
| George of Windsor is supposed to
| have been born in Scotland and a
Hay. He added IS" or "es" to- his
| name after arriving in this country,
or he had lived in England before
coming here, and had there added
| the extra two letters to his name.
George married, for his second
wife, Abigail Dibol, or more probably
Dibble, (who would be Dibol, if Dib-
BILE was just as easy?) Their wedding
| day was August 20, 1888. AS George
had three children by his first wife,
he must have been married when he
came to this country. He was the
proud father of 11-five were sons.
Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth
| president, was descended from George
| of Windsor
| George Hay of Virginia married a
daughter of President Monroe.

Camels Are the Freight Cars of Bagdad

Arabs depend on the camel for milk.
Shoes are made from it's tough, cal
loused hide and in times of famine
its brittle, strong tasting flesh is eaten.
CONDENSED milk, made by boiling
fresh camel milk until evaporation
leaves only hard chalky substance,
is priced among the desert nomads.
By rubbing this substance between
the hands it reduces to powder and
when mixed with warm water it
makes refreshing drink highly es-
teemed among the desert folk.
"Mereesy," as it is called, will keep
in good condition for two years. When
made from butter milk it tastes sour
and is priced among Arabs who have
eaten much of sweet dates. Fresh,
warm camel milk is also the food of
many valuable horses owned by desert
sheiks.
Camel calves are weaned in their
eleventh or twelfth month. When a
camel caravan is on the march the
very young camels are often tied upon
the back of the mother animals, since
they cannot endure the fatigue of a
long march. Valuable dogs and Arab
desert hounds, called "slugeys," also
ride in the same way.
Unless camels have been especially
trained to the abstinence they cannot
go as long as is commonly supposed
without water. When marching near
rivers they drink twice a day. They
feed largely on the tough, scrubby
verdure known locally as camel thorn,
which grows throughout Mesopotamia
except on the extreme desert wastes.
Their habits are peculiar; unlike
horses, they seem to feel no fondness
for their human associates, though
they will seldom wander far from the
caravan tents, even if left united over
night. 1t is no uncommon sight to
see 1000 or 5000 camels on the desert
waste outside Bagdad's walls. They
represent the combined herds of cara
vans which have met at Bagdad, bring
ing in wool, etc., and taking out other
cargo to different parts of Mesopo.

Newport Family

Newporte, import and Newport are
variations of this name, or at least,
these are photographers found in the
records. The sc" was added for airs,
probably. The import may be called
euphonic spelling and Newport is also
airs, or akin to it. Newport seems
to have been the original, first, and
only form, if we accept the name,
Novus Burgus-the new borough-as
1t was called, and afterwards, New
port. This was on the isle of Wight,
and about the ninth century. Carts
brooke castle is near Newport, which
Is also the name of towns in York
shire, Essex, Cornwall, Shropshire and
of towns in Ireland, Wales and Scot
land.
The charter of the borough of New
port, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dates
to 1915, and the quaint custom of
walking the boundaries" is still kept
up, and here is the castle of Newport.
Present seats of the Newport FAM
fly include Castle Bromwich, Birming-
ham. The earl of Newport is one of
the titled members of the family; the
first earl of Bradford about 1850, was

Capt. Christopher Newport, admiral
of Virginia, has been called the first
real estate Spectator in this coun-
try, if the colony of the London COM
pany, with its los colonists, which
found shelter 301 years ago behind
Point Comfort, may fairly be called
a real estate speculation. The actual
settlement at jamestown dates from
26th of April, 1907, when the little
squadron of three ships-the Susan
Constant, the Godspeed and the Dis
covery-under the command of Chris
topher Newport, completed its long
voyage. 1t entered the estuary, be.
tween the capes, afterward called
Charles and Henry, in honor of the
two sons of the king. The vessels
took shelter behind the promontory
which the weary voyagers called Point
Comfort. Newport News also owes
its name to the Admiral, as it is gen.
orally accepted by those who have
gone into the local history of vir.
ginia. that it was thus named in his
honor.

WAsHINGTON-Some of the weekly
w consular and trade reports re-
ceived in Washington from represent
atives of the United tates in foreign
lands tell Of interesting things in
other countries. Among those recent
ly received was report on the use
OF camels as freighters. According
to this report nearly 10000 camels
are used in the villayet of Bagdad as
beasts of burden and with donkeys
they form the only means of carrying
goods to the inland points.
Camel caravans go in strings"
seven camels to the string, with two
men in charge. For a camel $50
pounds is good load, the mack being
divided into halves. A burdened
camel travels two miles an hour; on
long trips across the desert II miles
a day is an average march, though
swift messengers, like the mounted
dromedary posts from Bagdad to Mos
soul and Damascus, make forty, fifty
and even more miles at a stretch.
Freight between Bagdad and inland
points in Mesopotamia is commonly
! packed in pairs of bales, each bale
weighing about 225 pounds, for the
convenience of camel drivers in load
ing. The rates charged for carrying
freight across the desert vary with
conditions, being lowest when camels
are cheap, labor and pasture plentiful
and freight offerings none too numer-
GUS. For common burden camel $50
is fair price, though the trotters or
swift messenger camels are worth
more. A young camel can sometimes
be had about Bagdad for as little as
three or four dollars.
