There is no translation of this song extant, and as the words are -relieved to be largely taken from a provincial dialect, now extinct, it is not likely their full meaning to Americans from the tact that the pears in It for the known language. The English wtr is "Yankee i Doodle" were taken from this old national so'ng of Holland. When 'England was at war with Hol land and Admiral Drake won a great victory from that people, the victors taltze the Hollanders. All manner of mocking ; parodies were fitted to the tune, and it was considered a great joke. The word "Yankee-was inter preted to mean a Dutchman. In those times the Dutch were the shrewdest traders known, and "Yankee"-became a term synonymous -with wide-awake business encrgj'.

The visitor draws close and glances 7at the windows; people dressed like himself look out.

If anxious to solve, the mystery and to learn how it has become possible for .mere humanity to emulate the fly and walk "upside down, the visiter will only find his bewilderment increased. In fact, the apparent intention of the desierner of the "Manor" is to instill a lasting doubt in the minds o? man as to whether they do really stand 'on their heads or-t thefr heels. Immediately the visitor enters he at once becomes part and parcel of the topsy-turvy scheme. He is ushered into a room, and gradually it dawns upon hini tfiat he is really walking upon the ceiling.
