That destructive beetle was origin- ally native to mountain districts of' Colorado, where it fed on a wild varie- I ty of potato plant called the “sand bur." It is supposed to have been car- ried into Missouri by the cattle traiflc, and in 164 it crossed the Mississippi River. In the early seventies it had Crossed the Detroit River and Lake Erie was literally alive with potato bugs, passengers on chips or whatever else would keep them afloat. They reached the Atlantic coast in 1873, and the beaches were soon swarming with them. Vessels were boarded by them in such numbers that hatches had to be. battened down. I At that period and for some time afterward much alarm was felt lest the potato would become. an extinct vegetable in Canada and the United States. But nature has a way of deal- ing with such mischiefs, and before long parasitic enemies of the beetle multiplied in such‘ numbers as to make possible its control. The above-mentioned fly, which done such good work in Michigan, be colonized in other parts of country, and may solve the potato problem for good and all.

They don't look those family name given name from grown. The only variation of the given name of Henry which is frequently found today is “Harry.” In the Mid- dle Ages there were many, prominentl among which were "Hal" and “Haw.”l This last seems to have been due to a peculiar twist of the Norman tongue, which tended to substitute a “u” or a “w” for an “I.” It was the same ten- dency which changed the word} “heahne” into “heaume” and gave us[ the family name of “Homer,” though' later the English speech reverted to the “I” and brought the word back to "helm" again. It is the same ten- dency which changed the whole char! 'acter of the French language a fewl centuries ago.

She knows the good they have done her children and realizes that her experience should be of benefit to others. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Fred Murphy, Charlotte- town, P.E.l., writes: “I have used Baby‘s Own Tablets for the past eight months for my baby. I cannot speak too highly of them for they have been of great assistance to me in my first experience of motherhood.” Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which are absolutely harm- less and may be given to even the newborn babe with perfect safety.

As is indicated in the foregoing list of variations, the family names in this group are all derived from the given name of Nicholas. This name did not appear in Eng- land before the period of Norman- French‘ occupation and amalgamation. The Normans brought it with them from the continent, and due to its reâ€" ligious association with St. Nicholas, who lived several centuries before and had become Widely known as a patron saint of children, the name became quite popular throughout England about the time family names were be- ing formed.

As a balm to French patriotism Ger- many has finally decided to turn over a train load of military trophies cap- tured from France in the war of 1870, says a Paris despatch. Included among them are numerous‘cannon and rifles and even the first machine gun models. The train bearing these tro- phies has arrived at Mayence. They will be displayed for the troops of oc- cupation there and then brought to Paris for an exposition at the Inval- ides. The French Ministry of War has not yet been informed whether the French campaign banners which the Germans are compelled under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles to §urrender, but some of which were re- ported to have been destroyed at the outbreak of the war and the remain- der in the anti-French demonstrations in Berlin last year, are in the Ship- ment.

Little Freddy was using his fists on little Helen. “Freddy, stop!” commanded his mother. “Don't you know that gentle- man never strikes a lady?” Instantly Helen stopped crying. “They do, too," she contradicted. “Why, Helen,” said mother, “when did you ever see a gentleman strike a lady?” Shut Him Up. Scottish humorâ€"recently remarked Sir Harry Lauderâ€"is generally dry and crisp, but I as told a story over in the United States which I think will beat many Scottish ones. ‘A stranger arrived at a Far West village, and dur- ing his first walk up the one street he encountered a young man leaning against the door of a saloon,. lazily chewing gum. “Pretty quiet place this,” said the stranger. “There’s a quieter over there,” re- plied the villager, still busy with his gum and jerking his thumb in the direction of the cemetery. “Have you lived here all your life ?" asked the visitor, hoping to carry on the conversation. “Not yet," came the dry reply. After that the stranger gave up. The invisible ear drum invented by A. 0. Leonard, which is a miniature magaphone, fitting inside the ear en- tirely out of sight, is restoring the hearing of hundreds of people in New York City. Mr. Leonard invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it does this so successfully that no one could tell he is a deaf man. It is effective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated, or wholly destroyed naturâ€" al drums. A request for information to A. 0. Leonard, suite 437, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, will be given a prompt reply.
