THE SINNERS' REDEMPTION.

1. All you that are unto mirth inclined, Consider well and do bear in mind What our great G-od for us hath done In sending His beloved Son.

-2. Let all your songs and your praises be Unto His heavenly Majesty ; And evermore, amongst your mirth, Remember Christ our Saviour's birth.

3. The five-and-twentieth of December Great cause we have to remember ; In Bethlehem, upon that morn, There was our bless'd Messiah born.

4. Near Bethlehem shepherds they did keep Their herds and flocks, a-f ceding sheep, To whom God's angel did soon appear, Which put the shepherds in great fear.

5. Prepare and go, the angel said, To Bethlehem ; be ye not afraid ; There shall ye see, this blessed morn, The heavenly Babe, sweet Jesus, born.

1$. With thankful heart and with joyful mind The shepherds went for this Babe to find ; And as the heavenly angel told, They did our Saviour Christ behold.

7. Within a manger the Babe was laid ; The Virgin Mary beside Him stayed, Attending on the Lord of Life, Being both Mother, Maid, and W 7 ife.

. If choirs of angels they did rejoice,

Well may mankind, both with heart and voice, Sing praises to the God of heaven, Who unto us His Son hath given.

" POPINJAY," " PAPAGEI " (11 S. xii. 440). Reading, some years ago, a book or writing on some part of West Africa, I came across the remark that the native or local word for parrot was poll, which I took to explain our " Pretty Polly." MR. N. W. THOMAS indicates several native or tribal words for parrot but not poll. He seems, indeed, to suggest that the Bullom word apal is a corruption of our word " polly," which, he remarks, " is itself in common use amongst many tribes." May it not be, however, that poll really is an aboriginal word for parrot, and that our " polly " is, in fact, the native, or a native, word for that interesting bird ? If not, where did we get our word from ] A Dutchman once told me, if my memory serves me, that polli was the Dutch for parrot. D. O.

FROMOND'S CHANTRY AT WINCHESTER (11 S. xii. 433). In the " Glossarium Mediae et Infimae Latinitatis Conditum a Carolo du Fresne Domino du Cange " (Niort and Londres 1887), one finds :

" Tena, vel Tenia, Joanni de Janua, a teno dicitur, estque vittarum extremitas dependens diversorum colorum, vel extrema pars vittae, quae dependet coronas. [Glossae S. Andreas Avenion. MSS. S83C.

Provinciale Ecclesiae Cantuar. lib. 3, tit. 1 : Contra Clericos portantes infulas, aut Tenas coram Praelatis, &c. Concilium Lambethense ann . 1281, cap. 22 : Et cum corona sit character Christianas militias, et revelati cordis ac patuli radiis caelestibus insigne : ipsi ut veraciter ostendant, se hujus characteris titulum erubescere, Tena coronas abscondunt, quasi caelestes radios repellentes, &c. Infra : Portantes infulas aut coram populo publice deferentes, &c. Ubi Concilium Londinense ann. 1268, cap. 5, habet, Infulas, quas vulgo Coifas vocant. Ita Tence et Coifce, idem sunt. [**Placit. ann. 15 Edward I. Hereff. rot. 2, in Abbrey. Placiti., pag. 279: Jurati dicunt quod Reginus Dingge venit in quadam grangia et voluit luctare cum Roberto de Clynton ipso Roberto invito, ita quod cepit ipsum et prpstravit ipsum ad terrain, et Tenam suam in capite suo cepit et in luto projecit.]"

This contains the explanation of tena as used in the very interesting note about the delightful Chantry in the Cloisters of Winchester College, which has under- gone so much regrettable deformation. I was very sorry to find, when I last went round that hallowed ambulatory, that the
