Dr. ANDRÉE, if you're going to the Pole by a balloon, (_Punch_ hopes you'll be successful, and he trusts you'll come back soon,) _Could_ you find a little room for some companions in your car? We have some whom we should like to see thus travelling afar. _Place aux dames!_ There's the New Woman whom we really do not want, And the Female-suffrage female, and the shrieking slave of Cant; There's the Fashionable Mother who constricts her daughters' waists, There's the Woman with a Past, who so pollutes the public tastes; There's the female who is masculine, the male effeminate, The Hedonist of hollow heart and paradox-muddled pate; There's that big bore the Degenerate, he'll turn up, divil doubt him! And that other bore, almost as big, who writes big books about him; There's the pedlar of Emotions, and the petty foe of Morals, There's the stirrer up in newspapers of journalistic quarrels; There's the thorough paced denouncer of Creation's horror--Man; There's the muckrake wielding maunderer on the Mysteries of Pan; There's the dirty dynamiter, the neurotic novelist!-- Oh, take them to the Pole, Sir, I'll be happy to assist, And drop them there--and _leave_ them there--"they never will be missed!" * * * * * On account of the vogue for cycling in Battersea Park this summer, the past two months will be remembered as the "Bike-at-Batterseason '95." * * * * * BY OUR NOTES-AND-QUERY-MAN. _Mem. for the next Historian of England._ It is probable, from recent discoveries in the Archives of the State Paper Office, that immediately after the time of CRANMER, in consequence of his having recanted two or three times, the See of Canterbury was to have been re-named "The See of Recanterbury." Also the question as to the origin of the name is, we believe, finally settled by the fact having come to light, that, every Archbishop, in consequence of the extent of his diocese and the necessity of his taking exercise, was compelled to be (as was Dr. TAIT, and as is the present Archbishop, Dr. BENSON) an excellent equestrian, and that the favourite pace for proceeding comfortably and expeditiously was "a canter." The origin of the "bury" has yet to be accounted for, as it has been spelt at various times "_bery_, "_berry_", "_berie_," "_burrie_," "_bury_." But Kent being an hop county, and beer the popular beverage from time immemorial, it is highly probable that as "_canter_" referred to the horse, so "_bery_" (with the "_e_" long "_beery_") referred to the refreshment for man (not for beast) required during the journey. This is from an antiquarian point of view most interesting. * * * * * "THE COWES WEEK."--This, read out aloud to a dairyman and a butcher, sounds bad; as the first would be anxious as to the milk, and the second as to the veal: for he would argue, "If the cow's weak, what'll the calf be?" * * * * *
