What's in a name? Sometimes a- soldier finis out that there may- be something attached to the pronunciation of a .uame. if not to the name itself. One New Zealand soldier -writes from France : "There are many of good family- in this voluntary army, ami. many of "would-be good family. One' young man's name was Monligiie. and he pronounced it with the emphasis on the final syllable. Ho fell in with other recruits, audi when the sergeant-major, in calling over the names came to Montigne (which he pronounced 'Monteeg') there was no answer. He called' it twice, thrice, and stilL there was no answer. At. last, in exasperation, he pointed to the man. and asked him his name. 'Montigne' is my name,' said the inrperturba-bie one. stressing the accent on the final syllable. 'Oh, is it?' said' the sergeanL-m'ajor. "Well, Mr Montigne. to-morrow you're on fatigue !' And there -was a roar of laughter at the. non-commissioned officer's wit in rhyme, for he emphasised the silent'letters at the end of 'fatigue' to make them rhvme with the recruit's name." cuts. scratches, .bruises. >buriT.s and scalds—nothing so oi/eklv soothes and Tieafe as does BEE ".OINTMENT.
