In this~case the name was “Hes- cuith." It probably suffered a loss in the period immediately following the Norman invasion. Nevertheless, the old names were retained to a certain extent among the subdued Anglo»Sax- ons probably the greatest number of them disappearing in the latter period of amalgamation than the earlier one of subjugation. But the name had not entirely disappeared at the time family names began to form, and it is first traceable as “Hescuith’s‘sion.” Ease of pronunciation first caused the dropping of the ending and then the This latter is one of those which have entirely disappeared in the course of the development in nomem- 'clatux‘e which followed the Norman in- vasion and the language changes of more modern times. And it might be remarked here that the number of Anglo-Saxon given names which have disappeared completely is far greater than those which are still in use to- day. Variationsâ€"Hesketh. Racial Originâ€"English. Sourceâ€"A given name. Here is a family name, widely known if not widely borne, which would be a good bit of a puzzle were it not possible to trace it back, step by step, through the centuries to a source in an old Anglo~Saxon given name. The Academy recommended that special attention be given to singing ci’asses in crowded districts where everything tends to break down the nervous and digestive systems. Prof. Frossard has experimented with hundreds of cases of overexcita‘ tion and sympathetic nerves, as well as gastric cases, and has found that when the patients keep in a cheerful mo-od, singing music of the gayest quality, the equiuibrium of the ner- vous system is restored within a few weeks and badly damaged appetites commence to reappear with full force. Like human beings, flowers have their likes and dislikes, and vent their displeasure in no uncertain manner upon their unfortunate victims. Poppes, for instance have a very in- jurious effect upon other flowers placed in the same vase. which seems to react upon themselves, as they soon fade and die under such conditions. The same remark applies to sweet peas. which should always be placed by themselves. If you want to be healthy sing as often as pessible, is the advice of Prof. Frossard of the So‘rbonne, which was reported to the French Academy of Science by his colleague, Prof. d'Ar- sonval. says a Paris despatch. If other blooms are placed with mig- nonette, there are few which will sur- vive such intimate contact. A yellow tea-rose faded away in two hours when placed next a pink one, yet in the ordinary way it would have lasted several days. Thls explains why. after arranging perfectly fresh flowers, one comes back, in the course of an hour or two, to find that some of them have wilted badly. In nearly every case, it is wilg to] murder on the part of the other flowers which would not bear their :ompany. , anard’s Lim'ment Relieves Neuralgia for most makes and models of cars.

ASQUITH. 6‘ Surnames and Their Origin racers everywhere STUM ' Cholera lnfantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and un- iless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby’s IOwn Tablets are an ideal medicine in warding off this trouble. They regu- late the bowels and sweeten the stom- ach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. Concerning them Mrs. Fred Rose, of South Bay, Ont, says: “I feel Baby's Own Tablets saved the life of our baby when she had cholera infantum and I would not be without them.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co., Brockvilie, Ont. The place name itself is a relic of pre-Saxon days, being compound of “lin” and “coin,” signifying in the ancient British tongue, a lake on a. hill. The Welsh is “11yn,” the Cornish "Iyn" and the Gaelic “linue.” names, made up often by the addition of dimunitives added to the name or a single syllable of the name. Even this, however, was not enough, when communication between various com- munities became more common and men moved from place to place. It beâ€" came quite usual to speak of this. that or the other Roger or John or Ivo by reference to the place from which he had come. Thus the name of Lincoln was originally preceded by “de,” indi- cating “of Lincoln" or “from Lin- coln.” Like all surnames of the same classi- fication it was originally descriptive of the bearer’s place of residence. In that period of the middle ages when population began to increase rapidly the supply of given names was over- taxed. The first result of this was the tendency among parents to give to their offspring new Variations of given changes in spelling to the two modern forms. Racial Originâ€"English. Sourceâ€"A locality. The originxof the family name of Lincoln is simple. It comes from the town of the same name in England. Good intentions do not pay bills; It's easy enough to plan.

This establishmentâ€"a wonderful stable, with every modern contrivanceâ€"provides luxurious quar- ters for the horses of the town's bus company. Besides this, it rents ac- commodation by the day, week, or year for horses visiting or staying permanently in the city. It Is a. structure three stories high, and on each floor there is a roomy balcony running the full length of the building. These are available for exercising the horses. An inclined run-way, by which the animals may proceed up or down, connects these with one another and the ground level. A band of uniformed attendants are engaged to look after the horses, and these lucky animal inmates are given every possible care and attention.

"I calI_ed him a liar be- cause he is one, and I can prove it.” Then the judge turned to the de- fendant with: “What have you to say to that?” “I don‘t think it has anything to do with the case, your honor. Even if I am a liar, Fve got a. right to be sensi- tive about it, ain't I?” into the ho teries fixed invented current relaxes the ne duces a sensation of A Question of Dignity. In a. case tried in the North of Eng- land the judge very s‘tel‘nly demanded of the defendant: “Why did you strike this man?” “Your homo-r,” was the reply, “he called me a liar.” “Is that true?” asked the judge. turning to the man with the battered countenance. anywhere else, an immediate economy would be effected that would be appre- ciated by all members of the league and particularly by those whose ex- change is depreciated. “Since the main purpose of the Com- mission of Inquiry is to suggest every form of economy,” the report says, "it feels bound to point outfithat, at the moment, Geneva isâ€"and so far as it is possible to foresee will remainâ€"a city in which the cost of living is com- paratvely higher than in almost any other city in Europe and where the rate of exchange is; at the moment of writing, the most disadvantageous for the great majority of states members of the league.” The report suggests that were the league headquarters in Brussels, Fon- ta‘inebleau, Turin 01' Vienna, or almost “There can be no doubt,” says the committee’s report, “that, rightly or wrongly, the League of Nations has the reputation of costing too much.” The report then goes on to explain how the complexity, diversity and novelty of the work undertaken neces- sarily cost heavily, particularly since it is in the hands of a comparatively young institution and lacks experi- ence. The dual language of the league re- quivrinlg translation and duplicate pub- lication of all documents alone ac- counts for one-third of the entire ex- pense, the report says. It then points out that the location of the headquar- ters in Geneva makes a good deal of the excessive outlay. Obligatory us of two languages, French and English, in all its trans~ actins, and the high cost or living at the headquarters in Geneva are given by the special committee investigating the workings of the League of Na- tions as an explanation of what has been considered in some quarters as the excessive cost of the organization, says a despatch from Geneva, Swlt< zerland. The expense of the last year, as already reported, was about $4,150,- 000.

THE HEALTHY MN HAS THE liES’l‘ CHANCE .vh The same is true of women. Some have the charm that makes men seek them out; others are neglected. But this is not luck. it is due to a person- al giftâ€"vitality. Men and women of this sort are never weak, puny inâ€" valids. They may not be big, but they are full of life and energy. The whole thing is a matter of good blood, good nerves and good health. Everyone would wish to be like this and the qualities that make for vitality and energy are purely a mutter of health. By building up the blood and nerves, sleepiessness, want of energy, weak- ness of the back, headaches and the ineffectual sort of presence which real- ly comes from weakness can be got rid of. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made many weak, tired men, vigorous, and many pale dejected girls and wo- men, rosy and attractive, by improv- ing their blood and toning up their nerves. If you are weak, low-spirited or unhealthy, try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and note their beneficial efiect. Is Always Full of Life and Energyâ€"Failures Are Weak and Bloodless.

One of the children. who had been gazing at the unwanted apparition, re- mained staring open-eyed from the door of the cottage for a. moment long- er, and then rushed indoors, shouting in amaze: One day the children were playing happily together, when a man was es- pied on the hillside, evidently making for the cottage. “0h, mither, here’s a thing like father: coming!"
