Halcyon.
Halcyon is the Greek for a king¬
fisher, compounded of “hals.” the sea,
and “kuo,” to brood on. The ancients

the waves of the sea were always un¬
ruffled; hence the “halcyon days”—
the days of happiness and peace.—

manager, onee told a story which illus¬
trated the reason for Mansfield's suc¬
cess ou the stage. Mansfield before he l
was known to fame was cast for a
part iu “Baron Chevrial,” a part so
