William 1| of England Signed His Name by a Cross to a Charter He Granted, In the collection of Norman char- ters sold recently in England, the |’ property of Baroness Beaymont of Carlton Towers, York, there is strong presumptive tevidence that William the Conqueror was unable to write, for a grant signed by him and Matil- da, the queen, bears their crosses. - This collection of Norman charters |- was made by the antiquiry Thomas Stapletop, one Of . the . ancestors - the barony of Beaumont, and ‘has been’] preserved for' centuries at Carlton Towers. Its sale Is attributed to the costs of the war and the present high' taxes. The earllest grant is undated, .but was made between the years 1067 and 1079. It ts in Latin, on vellum, and 1s a grant by Walderand (de Meulin?) for the salvation of the soul of his lord, William I, king of the Inglish, and others, to St. Stephens church, Caen, of the Church of St. Mary. In- serted in their names are the crosses ot the witnesses, Wilitam, king of the English; Matalda, the queen; John, archbishop (of Rouen?); Roger Bel- montensis (Beaumont) and Rebert Belmontensis (Beaumont). The docu- ment is one of the most interesting autographs that s likely to come inte the auction room for some time. The evidence of Willlam the conqueror’s illiteracy 1s not conclusive, however, as it may have been thought beneath the dignity of the king to write his name, as Willlagm Rpberts suggests. King Henry I also signed one of the charters with his cross. EAST INDIA SLOW TO CHANGE Eight Varieties of Marriage In That Region Remain as They Were in Manu’s Day. There ate elght varietles of mar- rlage In India, all of them outlined by Manu, the great Hindu lawgiver, and it 1s not untll one comes in contact with such examples of custom that one realizes how little the native Indian has advanced to meet moderri ideas, an exchange says. The eight ways of marriage are: Brahmya, which censists In a gift of a girl bedecked with ornaments to a learned, and vjrtuous bridegroom who has been invited for the purpose, accompanled by proper religlous cere- monies. J Daiva, or gitt of a girl decked With ornaments to a priest who is at that time officlating at a sacrifice. Adsha, or gift of a daughter in con- sideration of a pair of bullocks given by the bridegroom. Parajapatya, or gift of a daughter after the father has thus addressed the couple: “May both of :(ou perform your'dutles together.” Asura, or gifts of a girl after her relatives have given as much wealth as possiple. Rakashasa, or forcible capture of a girl after her relatives have been killed or wounded. Gandharba, or a voluntary union be- tween a young lady and a man. Palsacha, or the seduction of a malden who 1s aslgep, Intoxicated or ~ erack-braine OnYons, dry . slightly stronger.
