In note 2. C. the popular account printed and circulated at Whitby is given. It is substantially the same with that given by Beckwith, but for "strut-stowers" we have "strout-stowers;" and for "yadders" we have "yethers." It appears, also, that the service was not at that time performed by the proprietors in person; and that part of the lands charged therewith were then held by a gentleman of the name of Herbert. I shall be glad if any of your correspondents will elucidate the terms strut-stowers, and yeathers or yadders. C. H. COOPER. Cambridge. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Archbishop Parker's Correspondence._--I am now engaged in carrying out a design which has been long entertained by the Parker Society, that of publishing the Correspondence of the distinguished prelate whose name that Society bears. If any of your readers can favour me with references to any letters of the archbishop, either unpublished, or published in works but little known, I shall feel extremely obliged. I add my own address, in order that I may not encumber your pages with mere references. Any information beyond a reference will probably be as interesting to your readers generally as to myself. JOHN BRUCE. 5. Upper Gloucester Street, Dorset Square. _Amor Nummi._--Can any of your correspondents inform me as to the authorship of the following verses? _Amor Nummi._ "'The love of money is the root of evil, Sending the folks in cart-loads to the devil.' So says an ancient proverb, as we're told, And spoke the truth, we [no?] doubt, in days of old. But now, thanks to our good friend, BILLY PITT, This wholesome golden adage will not sit [fit?]; On English ground the vice dissolves in vapour, Being at best only a love--of paper." It must have appeared in an English ministerial paper about the year 1805.--From the _Navorscher_. DIONYSIOS. _The Number Nine._--Can any of your mathematical correspondents inform me of the law and reason of the following singular property of the numbers? If from any number above nine the same number be subtracted written backwards, the addition of the figures of the remainder will always be a multiple of nine; for instance-- 972619 916279 ------ 56340 the sum of which is 18, or 9 × 2. ====== 925012 210529 ------ 714483 the sum of which is 27, or 9 × 3. ====== 83 38 -- 45 the sum of which is 9. == JOHN LAMMENS.
