PAUL DE CASTRO. A BENEFICENT PBAYEB BOOK. The fol- lowing information given in The Morning Post, Aug. 20, 1921, is new to me and may be equally fresh to other members of the goodly fellowship of ' N. & Q.' : A Scottish family, the Hamiltons, possess a Prayer Book, the use of which is considered to be the prelude to such good fortune and happiness that it has been used at nearly every Royal wed- ding from that of George III. in 1761 to that of George V. in 1893. So great is its repute, indeed, that the book was taken to Petrograd by Dean Stanley for the marriage of the Duke of Edin- burgh with the Grand Duchess Marie. ST. SwiTHIN. QUOTATIONS ON CHEESE. There are no doubt a number of maxims, proverbs, epigrams, &c., which refer to cheese, but are not generally known. The following are to be found in reference works, and a record of others with references will be of service : Caseus est nequam quia concoquit omnia secum. Caseus est sanus quern dat avara manus. Ego de caseo loquor, tu de creta respondes. Cheese and bread make the cheeks red. Cheese is gold in the morning, silver at noon and lead at night. Cheese from the ewe, milk from the goat, butter from the cow. They are no more like, than chalk is to cheese. As alyke to compare in taste chalk and cheese. Or thinke, that the moone is made of greene cheese. I had rather live With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far. Proud of her teeth and proud of her talk, Proud of " knowing cheese from chalk " On a very slight inspection. Folks want their doctors mouldy, like their cheese. May give a mite to him who wants a cheese ! Who mite by mite would beg a cheese ! Like a man made after supper of a cheeseparing ! Cheese it is a peevish elf, It digests all things but itself. After cheese conies nothing. Flatterers make cream Cheese of chalk. Make good cheese if you make little. Hunger will break through stone walls, or any- thing except Suffolk cheese. Toasted cheese hath no master. Bread with eyes and cheese without eyes. As demure as if butter would not melt in his mouth, and yet cheese will not choke him. A windy year, an apple year ; a rainy Easter, a cheese year. If you wid have a good cheese, and hav'n old You must turn'n seven times before he is old. The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there, And warmly debated the matter ; The Orthodox said it came from the air, And the Heretics said from the platter. True, quoth the other, each man toasts his cheese. The way to make a Welshman thirst for bliss And say his prayers daily on his knees, Is to persuade him that most certain 'tis, The moon is made of nothing but green cheese ; And he'll desire of God no greater boon, But place in heav'n to feed upon the moon. He does not allow the cheese to be taken from his bread. R. HEDGEB WALLACE. " AECING." This is probably the only I word in English in which the c is pronounced as k before an i. It is used by electricians to denote the forming of an arc by the electric current. In the case of the word " zinking " the difficulty of the c is got over by turning it into a fc ; but this expedient is objected to by some people in the case of " arciftg," because " arking " may have something to do with the ark. Travelling by char-a-banc I have seen spelt facetiously of course as I " charabaiiging," but " char-a-banking n could be used seriously. L. L. K.
