London Tower Beefeater
Not Woman of the Guard

One of London's greatest draws is
the Tower of London where a Beef
eater, or Yeoman of the Guard,
is always to be found on guard in
his picturesque scarlet and gold uni.
form. But Beefeater is only his
nickname; he is not really Yeo-
man of the Guard, and although his
uniform is the oldest in the British
army, he is not really a soldier.
The name Beefeater is a corrup-
ton Of Buffetier, the name given to
Yeomen of the Guard who served at
royal dinners in days gone by, says
PearSon'S London Weekly. The
Beefeater does not descend from
these yeomen, but from the warders
who acted as assistants and were
allowed to wear yeomen's uni
form.
Another version of the origin of
the name Beefeater was that a
grand duke of Tuscany, visiting
Britain in 1869, was so struck by
the size and girth of the tower
warders that he asked if they fed
entirely on beef.
All the BeefeaterS are old soldiers
with distinguished records, and they
play an important part in the cere-
monies that have been handed down
from Norman times.

Thanks giving in February

Imagine Thanksgiving day in Feb
ruary. To South Carolinians it was
an actual occurrence almost a CEN
fury and quarter ago, for a pre-
served copy of the famous pioneer
newspaper, the Pendleton Messen-
ger, reveals that once the state OBJ
served the feast of Thanksgiving on
the first Thursday in February. In
the issue of February 3, 1919, this
journal carried a proclamation CIV
en- under the hand of Gov. John
Geddes and the seal of the state,
that reserved the day in early Feb
ruary to acknowledge the goodness
of God.

Negro Births,
Deaths Given
By Census Dept.

Number of Negro Births and
Deaths: 1886, 1885, 1884, 1888
/ There were 251, O98 Negro births
reported in the United States dur
ing the year 1886, as compared
with 192,748 deaths, or an excess
of $3.50 births over deaths, ac-
cording to w. L. Austin, Director
of the Census. In 1886 the number
of births exceeded the number of
deaths by 77,601. This decrease in
the excess of births over deaths
was mainly the result of an in
crease of 1925 in the number of
deaths. At the same time there
was a decrease of 4,026 in the num-
Der of births.
In the South the excess of births
over deaths in 1886 was Lass.
Outside the South there were g.
los more deaths than births. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Oklahoma
were the only southern states in
which the deaths exceeded the
births. In the North the only states
in which the births of Negroes ex-
coed the deaths were Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island
and Michigan.
In the state of New York the
excess of births over deaths de-
creased from 1,473 in 1888 to ~293
in 1886; in New Jersey, from 1,048
to 615; in Pennsylvania, from l.
ITO to 661; in Maryland, from l.
1856 to 1872; in Michigan, from 369
to 1877. Other Midwest industrial
states, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Missouri reported increases of Ne
gro deaths over births from 1888 to
1886. Increases in the excess Of
births over deaths in 1886 as COM
pared with 1888, were reported for
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Mississippi, Louisiana and the
District of Columbia. Massachu-
sets was the only state with a
Negro population of $4,000 or more
that reported fewer deaths in 1886
than in 1885.
Commenting on these figures,
Director Austin said, ave have
reason to believe that in many
states, especially in the South, the
registration of Negro births is de-
ficient although every effort is be-
ing made to correct that situation.
If the records were complete the
actual excess of births shown would
probably be larger than the above
figures indicate. 1t is to be hoped
that Negroes everywhere will take
pains to see that the births occur
ring in their families or in the COM

WHAT Meteorites Reveal

Meteorites. the meteors that fan
to earth, are messengers of regi-
mentation. They indicate that in
all the vast cosmos there are only
about 80 chemical elements, and
that those on the farthest sun are no
different than those on earth. Ma
ture everywhere is regimented by
these 80 forms of matter. The anal
ysis of meteorites has been made
for the American Chemical society
by DR.. Jacob Papish, head Of Cornell
university's department of chemis-
try. MeteorS not only come from
the solar system, but also from out
er space. They are the only tangi-
bile messengers man has of the pres
ence of other worlds. In the metz
orites, the spectroscope and chem
ical analysis have shown the great
majority of the known chemical ele-
ments.

MAY AnnIes

May apples are among the most
attractive flowers of our woods, with
their waxy white blossoms nodding
between the paired, umbrella-like
leaves. The round, lobed shape of
the leaves has given the plant its
scientific name, Podophyllurn, which
means foot-leaf. And that, in turn,
has given the name podophyllin to
the active principle of the drug ex-
tracted from the underground root
stocks Of the May apple, used in
medicine as an active cathartic. The
common name of the plant comes
from the small, pulpy fruit.
