Lord Kidded lias interesting things to wiv on the methods of sonic living politicians. Mr Lloyd George carefully prepares hi.s set speeches, the heads of the arguments being set down in detad on half-sheets of stiff paper, and important phrases being written out in I nil. Mr Winston Churchill adopts a dill'erent practice, lie dictates his set speeches in their entirety. Lord Balfour usuallv makes a lew notes on the back of a large envelope, but often speaks without notes and prepares his arguments while on his legs. Mr Bonar Law plans his speeches in his head, and never uses notes. Lord Birkenhead more or less adopts the Lalfourian method. Mention has been made ol double Christian names: but beyond the double, the triple or quadruple name is the multitudinous variety. A record in this respect is held by the TollemacheTollomaeho family, related to the Earldom of Pvsart. One of them, a lieutenant in old Leicester Regiment, had a dozen distinct words to make up Ins name, and an elder brother of his had a dozen and a half. The greatest total, however, was held by a lady of the family, her name being Lynna Deeinm Veronica Esyth fJiidyne Cy&sa flylda Rowena Viola Adela Thyra Ursula Ysahel Blanche Lelias; Dysart Plantaganet Tollciiiache-Tolleiuaclie.
