A Philadephia family of Huguenot
descent preserve a curious story, of one
of their ancestors. During the persecution of the French Huguenots, 12-0f
theleading.citizens ofadisaffected town
were-forced into a small prick house
re pia walled up,
oners were, ett starve. ;
After three weeks a body of Hugue-not soldiers gaptured the town, and the
walls) of this prison. “were torn dawn: . .
Inside they found 11 dead bodies and
rone living man.
. When asked how he.had survived, he
showed a smail.hoJe in the foundation
of the buildingy, pear, which he lay; . .
Every day a hen had “crept into this
hole and there laidvan egg. , The eggs,
and, the, air thus,admitted,, had kept)
him alive. His descendants have taken
for a crest a brooding hen. . .
Another family: in the same city have
adopted for their symbol. the.figure ofa,
—} eat-holding s.rabbit.in its mouth, One_
of their. ancestors, a ‘widow living ina
cave on the banks of the Delawdre with.
other early settlets of Philadelphia, was .
reduced to starvation by a long, hard
winter, She knelt.and prayed for food
for her children, and soon after-hericat . .
brought in a rabbit which it had killed,
Another American family have taken
the india-rubber tree as. their crest,
they. being the descendants ofthe man
.who was eminent among thewmen. who .
haye made its sap one of thé most useful .
servants of mankind. Henry M. Stanley is said to have adopted a map of Africa as his. crest,
There can -be-no objection to the use
which recalls some striking instance-of
Divine merey,to their, ancestons, » or
some great achievement by one of their
ancestors for the benefit. of their fellowmen; but for an American, family whose
progenitors. have-been simply worthy
traders or: méchanies, to borrow or
steal the crests of old, noble European
. houses.is not only an ethical offense—

handsome military school and girls’
seminary, and: negotiations were pend"ing for the putting up of several factories to supply a means of support to
the residents of his ‘ideal city.
Shortly after the death of-Mr. Stewart, in. 1876, some of these plans were
changed, and instead of making this a
Lbusy industrial city, as he bad wished,
no factories.or manufacturing places of
any description were allowed. on the
estate, property was restricted and Garden City ‘became a residentia] town for
