A few villages advertised that a market was bed there by prefixing the syllable "chip" tor chepei. That word just means market. though we have given its a secondary mean- 1X18 as “less in price".

Just as many towns and villages took their name from the stockade of tree-trunks, so did those of a later date from the stone waits surrounding them.

Before leaving this interesting subject. tof which I have’ just touched the fringe) we may note that many villages have names of trees as components. Probably the most frequent is the thorn, so we find many ‘Ihorritoris a few Thorn- hams; Thorndon.

BRITISH COINAGI

The British are s very conserva- tive people. and seldom depart fr0m the old paths. That. Is because they have found it to be the best policy in most cases. But it sometimes happens. in the modern world. that

great handicap in certain essential mat- ters. The antiquated system of coinage. for instance, is a. terrible hindrance to British trade.

The question of decimallzlng the mtrrency is not. a new one however. for even in the last century m1!!!’ notable Englishmen advocated this step; and in 1904 the House of Lords passed the second reading of a Bill for this purpose. But the measure was one which did not. attract sup- port or even interest from the

(UJIIMIIIICCII

The period of incubation. 0r hatching. of an eagle last-i about five weeks. alter which the young remains in the nest. which is usual- iy called an “eerip" and is fed by its parent for nearly three months. It is tiien ready to fly and leave .he nest or eerie But even after has left the errle and after It has started off 011 its own account, it continues to receive attention and

food frcm its parents. This period of "housekeeping", as may called. which includes the time

spent in preparing or refurnlshing the eerie, the caring for the young birds until they are able to lenu lot" them .vrs is thus about half a year, in al. This is said to be the longest time spent by any bird in the production and care of its offspring. By the time the young eagle has leit its eerie its white downy covering has entirely disap- pcaicd. and its plumage i5 iiimcst black although the bases of the feathers are wiiiibc. Its bill is black. It is then sometimes called a "black eagle". By the end of the second year, the young eagle has turned gray, and it is then fre- quently called a "gray eagle", By tlie end oi the tilirci year the Juve- iille oi" young edge comes into pos- Session 0i a white head and a white tail, the rest of the plumage being a dusky brown with the featheis paler on the edges. Its bill and feet are their yellow and its legs are bare of feathers,_ It is then unmistakably recognized as a “Bald Eagle."

Another remarkable characteris- tic of eagles, which is said to be common to both e Bald ' 1e and the Golden Eagle, is that t e immature birds are actually larger than atiLLtS. In this they reverse the usual order 0i nature, but the fact that eagles two yearsof age are larger than the same clros V111... tour years of age or older, is at.- tested to by many naturalists. It is possible, however. that the a pear- ance of the plumage may. a least in part. account for this idea that tnc immature bird is larger than the adult bird. ‘flie- plumage of time: younger bird does not ile so smoothly in place as it does when the bird is older.

The female eagle. whether Bald or Golden. is invariably larger than the ii;a.e. is is a characteristic coiiiliion to all birds of prey.

The old Romans also selected the eagle as an emblem for their im- perlal standard, and when the Ro- mans invaded Britain the Eagle was’ the emblem carried by the in- vading armies. Although the Ro- man legions in their day were said

to have invaded and conquered all lands, including even Britain, yet the Island of Great Britain was never fully conquered. As one of our poets has expressed it;—-

"Rome, though her eagle through

the world had flown. Could never make this island iilf her own."

On account of the eagle's sustained DOWer of flight and its ability to climb upward throu h the air un- "til it becomes invis ble, this bird was venerated as a winged messeng- er from Jupiter, worshipped by the Romans as King of their gods. In- dian tribes also venerated the eagle as their bird of war. its tail fee - ers being used for headdresses and to decorate their pipes of peace.

The character of the Eagle has also been lauded; particularly its magnanlmity towards small birds.

"The eagle suffers little birds to

l 1 And is not careful what they mean thereby."

"Pegched on the eagle's towering W n8. The lowly linnet loves t.o sing”

This attitude of the Eagle 11o- wards smaller birds have given rise to interesting Ten . One of these which used o be current in Ireland was to the effect that the little Wren, one of the smallest of birds, really became King of the birds. instead of the Eagle, through the Eagle's generosity.

The story runs that the birds once met in a great athering to elect a monarch; that t e Kingship was to be given to the one who could liy the highest; that the Eagle, cun- fident that the honour would 111.1 tq him. rose proudly in the air, hi her and ever higher, until the o er birds were mere specks beneath him.

When again they crossed the water, Crossed the roiling ocean water; Belt the stvcli and heard the wail-

Heard the thumping oi the sailors

Many days upon the water;

Melancholy waste of water;

Lahdiess, dreary, gray around them;

Rolling, vrsilcss, iii the sunlight;

Darkiiiig near them in the night time.

Where the pine trees and tne fir

Where they heard the scolding chatter

Oi the very busy squirrels,

Flitting skyward through the branches; _

Stopping halfway up and i" ring

Round eyed from behind ...e tree trunks;

Peering at this strange invasion:

Strange as when the long gone woodsmen

Startied, frightened. their ancestors

Back some furry generations

Of those busy scolding squirrels;

startled all the forest. creatures

Long ago those noisy woodsmen,

Struck the fairest trees and laid them

Low upon the forest carpet;

Scared the fox so wise and wary,

Sent the she-bear farther inland.
