 Sir John de Pennington, who was at tached to King Henry VI, secretely gave his sovereign refuge in Muncaster when the King was in flight from his enemies. In token for the gratitude the King felt he gave his subject glass cup of curl ous design and with it a kingly bless ing.

Answers to COrrespondents

To P. T. C., who asks for informa ton
 Of the Chambers family of New Jersey: The branch of the Chambers family
 established in New Jersey was that of john Chambers, who was born in Scotland about 1877, and who went with his father to County Antrim, Ire- land, when he was boy. In 1729 he left Ireland and came to America set ting in Trenton, N. J., that year.
 John had a son, Alexander. who was
 born in 1716 in Ireland. He manu- factnred spinning wheels and chairs in Trenton and was one of the fore most men there in the work of the Presbyterian church. He was, in fact, one of the corporators of the church given, through Governor Belcher by George I, the English King. From 1756 til his death he was trustee of the ohurch-he was treasurer of the church and for 15 years he was president of the board
 Alexander Chambers was commits sary of the state troops of New Jersey during the revolutionary war His wife, Rose Craze, was born in Ire land.
 Alexanders descendants were most of them pillars of the Presbyterian church of Trenton. Alexander's grand : son, John Story. son of John and Eliz- abeth Story Chambers, who was a lumber merchant, was president of the church board for two years. He mar ried Elizabeth Scudder of Cranbury, N. J., and had a son, John Story, born in 1923, who was in the state militia
 in the civil war and who was a man Of public spirit. doing much for the growth and development of his native town and state.
 To l.. T. B., who asks for the origin of the surname Bordon.
 This name has had variety of forms -Bordone. Barden, Berden, Birdin. Bur don, Bourbon and the hardly recognizable form Bordinghe. In Italian, it is Bor- doni. Variations of the name are Borda, Bordeon. Bordlev and Bordng.
 Borde is an old Saxon word mean ing cottage, and Bordaru, name found in the Domesday book. means cottagers. In England there is a town called Bor- den, and there the family owned fine es- tates as early as the twelfth century. Those who favor the tradition that one of the conqueror's followers was Bor- den-the name appears upon the great roll of Battle Abbey as Burboun-point to the Norman town Bourdor nay as the cradle of the family. In France. at this day, the name appears a de la Borde and de Borden Then another theory is advanced re- garding the origin of the name as a sur name, similar to that first mentioned. Borde means a cottage, the termination den, woody valley. Some one lived in a woody vale in a cottage. He had no name-he might have called himself Smith or Jones, but he preferred the more appropriate application, Borden The staff a pilgrim crusader bore was called bourden. For this reason, as a play on the name, or because a Borden joined the holy wars, a bourden is em- blazoned upon the family coat-of-arms. Andreas Perforatus (bored) is the name Andrew Borde, the original Merry An drew" calls himself in his "Boke of the Introduction of Knowledge" written in the reign of Henry VIII.

LORD CARMICHAEL
 WILL RULE INDIA Belived to be Slated to Sue ceed Lord Hardinge
 as Viceroy

London, August 15.-(Special.)-It wal supposed for long time that Lord Kitchener was anxious to succeed Lord Hardinge as viceroy of India and 1t was looked upon as certain that the govern ment would be unable to resist him in the matter. The writer was told by K. of Ks Closest personal friend, many months ago, that the war minister's ann bitions lay in that direction. but unfor- tunately the great war made demands up- on his efforts in other directions. It is no secret that. at the beginning of the war, Kitchener was anxious to re- turn to India and had no stomach for the job of minister of war. especially with the restricted powers which it was orig inally proposed to give him. If he had returned to Egypt he could undoubtedly lave succeeded Lord Hardinge this year, instead of which the latter has agreed to hold on another 12 months, despite his poor health
 It is now said that, as the war will not be over even year hence, and as Kitchener will probably be needed in Eng land for many months after the terms of peace are finally arrived at Lord Hard inge will be succeeded by Lord Car michael at present filling the post of gov ernor of Bengal, and one of the most experienced students of Indian affairs. Lord Carmichael is an able administra- tor, with a knowlege of the clements of diplomacy gained while acting as pri- vate secretary to Sir George Trevelyan and Lord Daihousie. as governor of Vic toria, Australia and as governor of Mad ras Furthermore. he Is not a military nan and Ifor that reason, if for no other shoritics Sn India.

Inbreeding Cancer Cause

From the Louisville Courier Journal
 The study of a number of human families has borne out the results ob- tained from the laboratory work with mice and indicates that resistance to cancer is a positive (dSminant) trait and that nonresstance appears in the children only when both parents be- long to a nonresistant race. And this result is commonest, writes Charles B. Davenport in the Popular Science Monthly, where cousin marriages are commonest. because that makes it probable that if one parent belongs to a cancer race the other-the cousin will belong to the same cancer race Tn rural Maine cousin marriages are extremely frequent, especially in the islands off the coast and here we have the conditions for the result-the high incidence of numbers of the cancer rate in an inbred community

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES cowLEs. THE PENNIN GTON FAMILY

Copyright, 1915. by the Mcclure News
 Paper Syndieate)
 The Philadelphia branch of the Pen ingtons in America trace their descent from Sir Isaac Pennington lord mayor of London in 1643, and commissioner of the high court which tried King Charles | Owing to the fact that Sir Isaac did not sign the death warrant, he is not to be classed among the regicides. Sir Isaac was worthy scion of the ancient Penningtons. The members of this branch of the family spell their name with one n
 The members of, the other branch Of the Pennngtons in America spell their name with two ms and all though they are surely descended from the same stock it is not known where the founder of this branch in America -Ephraim-lived in England. There is some slight reason to believe that he was son of Sir Isaac Pennington, the lord mayor of London. who was the di- rect ancestor of the Philadelphia branch of the family.
 Ephraim landed in New Haven, Conn., in 1643 and died in 1660. From Connec- ticut the family later removed to New Jersey. Ephraim had a son of the same name who married Mary Crockett. They had two sons, Ephraim and Judah, of whom Ephraim removed to Mendham, Morris county, New Jersey, and settled there. Judah had a son Samuel, who married Mary Sandford and had nine children.
 The name was early found in England only in Cumberland Westmoreand and Lancaster and there is no doubt that all who bear it were originally derived from the Penningtons of Muncaster castle, Cumberland. where Jamel de Penintone lived. In the time of King John one
