title for a new book to contain the
names Of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely a name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some Of the changes are. intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most Of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors of pro-
%nunciation. Our Butch ancestors had
a habit Of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the "van."
The name "Burch" was originally
Birch and meant a man who lived by
the birch tree. It is a curious COM
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who is putting it
out has juggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking a
title. Good names are a misfortune;
when they r used like family por-
traits to make snobs.-Exchange.
