They accepted the rest as natural
outcome of the war, and what an eX-
trnordinary rest" it was. One has
to go far back to find anything to COM
pare with it. After Bannockburn the
Scots used to raid the adjacent parts
of England, SO that for years it was
impossible TO raise crops, and the
houses were so Systematically de-
Stroyed that the buildings of wood and
stone were ultimately replaced by turf
and waffle. The desOlation there in
the fourteenth century must have been
comparable to the desOlation produced
in the twentieth century by a nation
which counts itself cultured beyond
most. And what was worse than dam
age to property was the carrying away
into captivity of the whole population,
excepting such as were too old TO
work. Into what various regions they
have been scattered no one knows.
Very few have found their way back.
1t was, however, the preparation for
subsequent misery that inflamed the
soldiery. l could see their eyes hard

the French army will not be content
with any end of this war which is
not cOnsummated on the further bank

of satire, remarked that the Germans

Use Of Surnames.

The custom of using surnames for
Christian names, as exemplified in the
cases of Harrison and Mr.. Holden,
goes back at least three centuries, but
the people stuck pretty close to Johns,
Edwards and Thomases. In this coun-
try we have seen tendency to use, at
baptism, the mothers family name as
q middle name for the child. This, no
doubt, is leading to more free use Of
family names as given names. For the
most part, however, we are John Hen
ry Smiths.

He agreed with other experts with
whom 1 had an opportunity OF CON
versation that the better plan was
to set about the planting of new trees,
which should be chosen with special
regard to their suitability to the soil
and the district, and to their useful
ness. For many years it has been
pointed out in vain to the French peas
ant just as it has been TO English
farmers and gardeners, that the old
messy trees, picturesque though they
may be. which are usually found in
both countries, could advantageOusly
be replaced by young sapiings of the
best varieties.
But the French peasant IS every biz
as conservative as the British farmer.
As long as his trees carried annually

ent cider nothing would persuade him
to remove them. He was equally deaf
to the argument that cultivation would
be easier if the trees were removed
from the middle of the field and plant

good. A plan has been formed for re-
constructing these orchards on an en-
tirely new basis, with the cooperation
of the British public.
