There is a proverb, in a land where it is always summer, that says: "It is easier to sit than to standâ€"and easier to lie down than to sit." The prevalence of that philosophy means that the people of that land are imperfectly civilized. They are in a state of arrested development. They are scratching flea-bites or sleep- ing in the shade or imbibing strong waters when they ought to be plant- ing, digging wells, making roads and building houses. A Swiss who visited these people said: “\Vhat they neczl is a winter." Thoreau observed: “Ix-man sits as many risks as he runs." Whole nations, like individual men, ‘may close their eyes and let a great chance go by. Sometimes it goes by with a loud noise; sometimes it passâ€" es in silence. But it does not stay.

Sourceâ€"A title of office. ot the Normans was the manner in which occilpations which toâ€"day we look upon as of an humble, household nature, were exalted into titled offices. One of the most peculiar points about the. social and military system Th1! answer, of course, is that in those days each feudal castle, the social unit of all who were not tillers of the soil, was, though a single "household," a small'nation in itself, largely independent and owing vas- salage to counts and kings only as a unit. A Thus the keeper of the “family” purse was in reality the “secretary of the treasury.” and the head of the household kitchen was the commis- sary-general. ‘ The “despenser” or despencer," un- der the feudal custom of the Normans, was the officer responsible for the “buttery” or food warehouse of the castle, an ofl‘ice of great responsibility in days when sieges were laid, often not to be lifted fdr months or even years. This title, however. when coupled with the word “16" (the). as of course it was, soon became too clumsy even for the Norman tongue, with the re- sult that it did not take many genera- tions before the more common form of the word was “Spencer” or “spen- uer."

There were instances in which indi- vidual fighting men lost as much_as a teacupful of brain substance without Impairment of their mental faculties. I Extraordinary! The reason is not easy 0! explana- Ition. But apparently nature provides Ins with more brain material than we l need to think with, and we can spare quite a hit of it without serious conse- quences, unless some essential struc- ‘ture be entirely destroyed. One thing the brain will not endure is compression. In childhood the skull may be squeezed all out of shape without harmful results. The Flat- head Indians do that. and so do abor- iginal peoples in other parts of the \world. But even a clot of blood, due (to cerebral hemorrhage, is liable to cause paralysis, and local pressure of a bone may render a person insane. WGULD NOT BE \HTEWHT MBY'S OWN TARLETS Mrs. W. Beesley, Mille Roche. Ont, writes: “I have used Baby‘s Own (Tablets for the past eight months and would not be Without them. I used them for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other mothers." What Mrs. Beesley says thousands of other mothers say. The Tablets are a. mild but thorough laxa- tive which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out constipation and indigestion and mak- ing teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams“ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. in medieval England. Hence there are many Spencer families to-day. BEVERLEY Racial Originâ€"Anglo-Saxon or Nor- man-French. Sourceâ€"A locality. This family name quite clearly be- longs ln the classification of those which have been derived from the names of places, for it is traceable through the early documents with the prefixed "de," meaning of. It is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all lands have given more’ family names than the big centres of population. The reason for this is, in the first place, tha‘. the people flocked from the small com- munities, where there was not so great a need for additional names, to the big centres, where there was not only such need, but Where the men- tion of a small place served the p11!“ pose of differentiation quite accurate- ly. In the second place, the big com- munities gave rise to comparatively .few family names because it consti- tuted little differentiation to speak of “Roger de London," when there were thousands to be found all over the country. Authorities differ as to We origin of the place name‘of Beverly, which is in Yorkshire. Some derive it from “belvoir” (beautiful view) and “iev,” a meadow or field. It is more prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the AngloSavons as “Veverlac,” or beaver-lake. Theres is no more uplift- ing habit than that of bear- ing a hopeful attitude, of believing that things are going to turn out well and not ill; that we are going to succeed and not fail; that no matter What may or may not happen, we are going to be happy.

It was for this reason that he decided some time ago to dispose of a considerable portion of his estates in South London, and it is possible that a great proportion of the money so raised will go to endow his sister and brothers. You can get Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. VVilIiams' Medicine (30., Brbckville, Ont. The Prince’s Income. surprise was expressed in some quarters recently at the announce» ment thet the Prince of Wales is not to start a racing stable, but the fact of the mflter is that he cannot afford ‘ . to do so at the present tlme, says an English newspaper. His income is a comparatively limit- ed oneâ€"far smaller than most, people imagine, and he has so many calls up- on his purse that at times he has to consider the matter of expenditure very carefully indeed. Almost the whole of his income is derived from the Royal Duchy of Com- wall, and last year the sum of $210,000 was paid into his banking account from this source. Out of this, how- ever, he makes a substantial annual contribution for the maintenance of his sister and younger brothers, who receive no money whatever from the State, but are supported solely by the King and the Prince of Wales out of their respective incomes. In addition to the income the Prince of W'ales receives from the source al- ready mentioned, he receives the pay of his rank as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, and this may be said to be 311 that he possesses. It may be pointed out, too, that he pays taxes in precisely the same man- ner as any private individual, while he 15 even rated for the portion of St. James’s Palace he occupies, though this is‘ purely an “act of grace” upon his part, and he could claim exemp- tion on the ground that this is a Royal palace.

From time to time the male bird gives the heap a. scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature de- veloped is neither too high nor too low. He does not permit the newly hatched young ones to emerge, however, until they are fully fledged and able to take care of . themselves. Then he helps them to get out. The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever inven~ tlon of an Australian bird of large size called the “brush turkey.” It saves the‘ fowl a great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her “clutch” of eggs in a neat circle, and then she and her mate scratch together a big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces heat, whereby the eggs are kept at proper temperature for incubation. Would Be More Popular.

St. East, Vancouver, BC. “I suffered for years from blllous- ness and my appetite varied a lot. Sometimes I would hardly touch a bite and other times I would eat a hearty meal, but, as sure as fate, if I did eat anything, I had to suffer for it afterwards. I would get nauseated and bloat up with gas so bad I'd have palpitatlou of the heart and almost choke for breath. I had violent head- aches that left me weak and lifeless and suffered with such awful pains in the back that it was agony to stoop over. I also had rheumatism in my right leg which gave me a lot of trouble and which kept me awake so much at night that I .was tired most of the time. "I’ve only taken four bottles of Tan- lac so far, but already I have gotten wonderful results from it. I have a good appetite, can ’eat anything I fancy and never have a sign of bllious-' ness or gas or pain afterwards. My food seems to do me good too, for I feel much stronger angl have gained ten pounds in weight. I'm not bother- ed with pains in the back any more and the rheumatism has entirely dia- appeared. I now sleep well at night and get up feeling fine. My wife also has been taking Tanlac with wonder- ful results and she joins me in ex- pressing our thanks for the great good We have gotten from it.” Tanlac is sold by leading druggism everywhere.
