C. FORBES. Temple. _Apple Sauce with Pork._--Why and when was the custom of eating apple sauce with pork first introduced? BONIFACE. _Gipsies._--In Shinar, or the province of Babylon, are the mountains of Singares, and the city and river of Singara. Have they anything to do with the origin of Zingari, the Italian name for gipsies? L. M. M. R. _Breezes from Gas Works._--Why do secretaries to provincial gas companies call small pieces of coke _breezes_; and why do they by letters offer to sell "_breezes_ at tenpence _per sack_?" My residence is not far distant from the works of one of these _Æolian_ gas companies; and when the wind is in the east, I inhale _breezes_ which my senses tell me do not blow from "Araby the blest." X. Y. Z. _The Phrase "and tye."_--The clerk in a parish in the north-west part of Sussex frequently makes use of an expression which I cannot understand,--nay more, he is unable to explain it himself! The expression is used by several of the old men in the parish, though by none of them so often as by the clerk. "Well, master, how are ye to-day?" He answers, "Middling, thanky'e _and tye_." He brings these two words in at the end of most sentences. If you ask him whether there are many people in the church, he will say, "Fairish number _and tye_;" or, "No, not many _and tye_." Can any of your correspondents say if they have heard it elsewhere, or tell the meaning of it? NEDLAM. _Stonehenge, a Pastoral, by John Speed._--Is any MS. of this dramatic pastoral known to exist? It was acted, according to Wood, before the President and Fellows of St. John's College, Oxford, in 1635. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. "_Buro--Berto--Beriora._"--A gold ring was found in France, in the province of Artois, between thirty and forty years ago, bearing the following inscription: "buro + berto + beriora." The ring is of a proper size for a man's finger, is plain, and rounded on the outside. The words are on the inner side, which is flat. They are well engraved, and very distinct. The character is the black letter of the fifteenth century. Perhaps, through the medium of "N. & Q.," a satisfactory interpretation of the three words may be obtained, which has been long sought in vain. A. F. A. W. _'Prentice Pillars._--"Deaths by Fasting," and "Genevra's Chest," have reminded me of another tradition, no doubt equally groundless. It is said by the vergers that one of the circular windows in the transepts of Lincoln Minster was designed by an apprentice; and that the master, mortified at being surpassed, put an end to his own existence. There is another "'prentice window" at Melrose: a similar anecdote is connected with two pillars in Roslyn Chapel. And there may have been many more of these clever apprentices and foolish architects, but can one case be substantiated? C. T.
