UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday we spoke of how men
gathered facts for the Domesday
Book, in the time of William the
Conqueror. Today let us see some
of the things which were set down
In the two volumes of the big book.
On one page we read words with
this meaning:
I'm the villa is the church of St.
Peter. The abbot holds 13 and a
hall hides Of land. The villeins have
six plow teams, and one more might
be made. There are II cotters who
render q shilling a year for their
gardens. There are IS houses Of
the abbot's soldiers and Of other
men,"
These notes were about West
minister, which now makes up a part
Of Greater London. Today the land
and buildings Of Westminster are
worth thousands Of times as much
money as in the time Of William the
Conqueror.
On another page of the Domesday
Book are these facts about a village
called Limpsfeld:
There are on the home farm five
plow teams. There are Is villeins
AMI six cotters with IA teams among
them. There is a mill, q church,
four acres of meadow. two stone
quarries, woods for $50 pigs, two
hawks nests in the woods and 10
slaves"

counted If We allow for them the
population Of England at that time
probably was about 100000.
Today England has close to 40,-
100000 people, not counting Scot
land or Wales. Greater London has
about five times as many people as
there were in all England In the
year 1886, when the Domesday Book
was put together.
A census of Great Britain is now
taken once in 10 years. The last
such census was made in 1881. An.
other Is due next year.
The British census Is carried out
with even greater care than was
the Domesday Book. The census
takers 60 to the homes of the people,
instead Of calling together 4 few
persons to supply facts for the whole
village.

Picoyune
BY FRANK COLBY.

Picoyune
Noun. Something OF insignificant
Udlue.
The word picayune. formerly the
name of the half dime or scent
piece, has become popular in famil-
lar language. The term especially In
the South, designates anything OF
small or "piddling" value.
The Picayune of New Orleans
Louisianas largest and Oldest daily
newspaper established 1880, was so
called because it originally sold for
picayune. The price still is 5 cents a
copy.
Correct pronunciation: PICK-uh-
YOON.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accentedD
Question-Will you please define
'1agniappe" and pronounce it for
us?-D. T. M.
Answer-In the South, Louisiana
especially, lagniappe is small gift
of inconsequential or "picayunish"
value received from trades people
when purchase is made. The word
Is Creole in origin.
The first syllable rhymes with
man; the second syllable, which re-
ceives the accent. rhymes with map.
Correct pronunciation: lan-YAP.

questions about words, send =
