arms deserves well for his hospitality. The house also denotes protection, but in this case. is doubtless used in reference to the name, thus placing this coat-armor in the class called punning or "canting.
 An arm signifies an industrious per son; flags or banners borne on shield chest always refer to some special action, in which they have been captured, and are signal rewards for gallant service.
 The metals, argent and or, signify, the former peace and sincerity, purity. and innocence. the latter, generosity and ele- vation of mind. The color vert which is not of frequent occurrence In heraldry. denotes hope. joy. and loyalty in love. Azure, loyalty and truth.
 To symbolize the colors by precious stones and the planets was a fancy of heraldic writers of the sixteenth century. According to this, the Newhouse arms claim Lune and the pearl for argent: Sol and the topaz for or; Venus and the emerald for vert and Jupiter and the sap phiro for azure.
 To "One of the Burwells who asks whether it is true that there is kin ship between the New England Burwells and the southern family of the name: No relationship has been established be- tween the New England and the Virginia
 Burwell families, although Major Lewis Burwell and John Burwell. the American progenitors, respectively of the Virginia
 and the New England families arrived in
 the new world at about the same time. To T. Guild, who asks for the record of the Guild family previous to their com ing to this country. Also the coat-of- arms, crest. and motto of the family: | Little is known of the immediate an- cestors of the two brothers Guild who first came to America. The family had ex- isted for sometime in England, also in ] Scotland, and in the Island of Guernsey and probably the various branches sprang
 from the same source In 1886 two brothers, John and Samuel Guild, came to New England from old England, prob | ably. John settled at Dedham, Mass.
 and established the Guild family; Samuel settled at Haverhill, Mass, and estab- 1 ished the Guile Gile family. Both | families have prospered and grown and
 spread pretty well over the country. The arms of the Guild or Guile fam. | fly are blazoned: A lion rampant or. Crest: An arm couped holding in the

 l To F. T. Daniel who asks for infor-
 nation about the family to which he 1 belongs:
 From the Christian name Daniel,
 meaning. God is judge" We have the l surnames Daniel Daniell, Dan
 iels Danyell. Danell, Danel, Dannell,
 Danelle. Danielson and Danelson. Daniels seems to be the favorite 1 form now the "s' being a compara- ] lively recent addition to the name.
 By some authorities We are assured
 that the name was originally de An l yers, of Norman origin, from a town l in Normandy Among the Huguenots 1 Daniel was a common surname.
 O'Donnell is perhaps another form of this ptronymic. At any rate. we 1 find that William ODonnell, Archbish op of Tuam in the seventeenth century | also wrote his name Daniell.
 I The family has always been one of prominence in Virginia, and connected by marriage with the Goodes, Con- | ways. Marcures and other well-known | "F F. V's." Two homes of the Dan | els were Tranquility" in Stafford
 county and Crows Nest" on the Po- tomac-both mansions famous for their | hospitality.
 The New England family trace back to Robert Daniel, who was living Tn 1 Watertown, Mass, In 1885. and VII l liam, who was a freeman of Dorches- ter in 1645 It Is supposed that Rob-
 ert came from England. After the death
 of his first wife. Elizabeth, he married l Reana Andrews, 1854. He had two sons l Samuel and Joseph. Roberts will proved l in the following year. gives us a good | example of the photography of the day 1 To his flowing wife, he left 70 shillings
 a year; one-half to be paid in "fruite, and the other half in "foure bushels of
 wheate" "Ffunerall'' was the way Rob- | ert spelled it. This was not so pressing
 in those good old days, and if a cer- 1 tain letter was good in certain word, l were not two better?
