Surnames an COLLINS Variationsâ€"Collinson, Collett, Colet. Racial Originâ€"Norman-French. Sourceâ€"A given name. Here is another group of family names derived from the given name of Nicholas, only this time more in acâ€" cordance with Norman than Anglo- Saxon custom. Even before the Normans invaded and conquered England the given name of “Cole” or “Colin” was popu- lar and widespread among them. They had formed this name of the famous saint who was archbishop of Myra in the fourth century. and who already had become the patron saint of child- ren. Incidentally, this tendency among the ‘people of Europe in the early Mid- dle Ages to take a single given name and split it up into all sorts of diminu- tives and variations was not due en- tirely to the natural inclination to form nicknames, but in large measure was due to that same death of insuf- ficient names to go around which, in- tensified as populations became larger, finally grew into the formation of family names. The family of Collins, when it is not traceable to Irish sources, is simply the modern form of “Colin's son,” as also is the faintly name of Collinson. The Normans . quite frequently formed diminutives of given names by the endings “et” and “at.” and it is from names so formed that the family names of Collett and Colet come down to us. MEREDITH. Variationsâ€"Merideth. Meredeth, Mer- riweather, Merriman, Murray. Racial Originâ€"AngIo-Saxon. Sourceâ€"A sobriquet. or nickname. There's a word in the English lan- i'uéiroiigii I guage which is responsible for a great deal of misunderstanding among us as to the character of the English public in medieval times. It is the word "merry." It is met with constantly in fiction, where it really belongs, as lending local color to the olden days, and also in historical relics. The misunderstanding on our part arises from the fact that the word had a very different meaning in those days. The English of medieval times were no more rollicking or boisterous than those of today. The word meant “happy,” “contented.” “satisfied,” “pleasant” and “peaceful.” Of all these meanings, that of “peaceful” is probably the closest to it. There was nothing incongruous, therefore, in the hope of the religious Englishman of those days for a “mer- ry death," and by that same tendency which leads the human race, when not too bound up in conventions, to name its children after its hopes and as- pirations, “Merydeth” would often be added as a sobriquet to a child’s name, becoming a family name in the course of time in a great many instances. The family name of Merriman is ac- counted for quite similarly. A merry man in those days was a peaceful, contented, happy man, not necessarily a laughing or noisy one. This sobri- quet was one more likely to be given to a man as an adult than as a child, but would have no less tendency to develop into a family name. We have a relic of the old-time use of merry- weather (merywedyr) in the use of “fair weather” in that song which be- gins, “lt’s always fair weather when good fellows get togctlier~." The family name of Murray is, of course, for the most part of Celtic origin, but when it is not, it is merely a corrupted spelling of Merry, fronnthe old forms. such as “Richard le Mery." @llllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I ed barley "swee cereal when you E § 3 a E E E A Ready-Cooked Food For Breakfast or Lunch Grape=Nuts Crisp granules of wheat and malt- special processing and long baking.

Lumberman’s FriendT, The Original and Only Genuine l YARMOUTH, N.S. Professor to Choose Film Stars. A significant development in the| production of British films is an- nounced by an advertisement in the London Times for a university profes- sor of sociology, psychology and scien- l tific research to assist the producer of a well-known company in the castingl of photo-plays. For some months past the important work of casting for a film play has‘, been gradually passing into the hands } of specialists, who have discarded the old system of putting so-called starsl into leading parts, and leaving the other characters to be played by any; one. A year ago it was common for film producers to give the leading-woman parts to favorites. The result was seen in unsuitable people in leading parts. Often they were too old, too thin. or too fat. or were temperamentally unlike the character they were supposed to reâ€" present. Some went so far as to "make up" young women to look like old women by process of wigs and facial lines, all of which were mercilessly exposed by the camera. In the United States, where the star system was carried to absurd lengths, ' there has been a complete revolution. Producers now seek true types, in-l stead of highly-paid, well-advertised_ stats. - sigh, "and just think of the appetite it will give the horse!" The Reason Why. Tommy, aged six, had been out or a long walk, and on his. return was speedily put to bed. Some time later his: mother, going up to his bedroom, found that her fond offspring had gone off to sleep with his feet resting on that part of the bed intended for his head. She woke him u , reversed him, and then demanded an explanation. Two chubby little fists then a plaintive voice replied: “But, mummie, my tired, and my feet. were." 0 “Pape’s Diapepsin” Corrects I Stomach. “Pape‘s Diapepsin" is the quickest, surest relief for Indigestion, Gases, Flatulence, Heartburn, Sourness.
