The name of Finlay, however, is truly Celtic. Originally, its form as a given name was Fionnlaoch, a com- pound of “fionn." meaning "white," and "laocli." meaning “fighter,” or "soldier." When it first became a family or clan name, of course, it was preceded by "Mac," meaning "des- in one respect. They are not over- whelmingly Celtic, either in language or in the. method of formation. And there are reasons for this. In the first place, the blood of Scot- land is far from being overwhelmineg Celtic. At the time of the Roman do- mination of Britain, the country north of the great wall which marked the northern limits of the empire’s gov- ernment was inhabited by the Picts, a. race more similar to the Cymric branch of the Celtic race, like the Welsh. the Cornishmen and the Bre- tons. About the third and fourth cen- turies of the Christian era the Gaelic Celts of Ireland came over from Ulster and settled themselves in the High- lands. Then, when the Angloâ€"Saxons invaded England, they cut well north‘ into the lowlands. Norman and then1 English conquest and occupation fol-1 lowed on a large scale before sun; names became true family names! Hence there were influences of many races at work.

"Oh, yes, he means to stay,” said Madge; “he's got his things off." Means to Stay. ‘ Little Madge was excited. A baby brother had arrived on the scene. She spread the good news, and among others told the gardener. “The question is,” said the old man “is the new baby going to stay?” There is always danger to the lab- oratory worker in dealing with this formidable substance unless the moat careful precautions are taken, and un- der no circumstances should any per- son be continually exposed to its rays. Thus if the patient is treated for exactly the right length of time the diseased tissue will be destroyed while the healthy tissue is not much injured. Obviously, to accomplish a satisfac- tory result the surgeon must exercise the highest degree of skill and must employ the radium with utmost cau- tion. It is this tendency of the rays to destroy tissue, says the United States Bureau of Standards, that makes them valuable in the treatment of cancer and for certain other surgical pur- poses. For while both healthy and diseased tissues are attacked by the rays, their destructive effect upon dis- eased tissues is much greater and more rapid.

The name itself is Eng- lish, and there is evidence that it sprang up in many sections of mediev- al England, among the followers of the various earls and overlords, first as a title descriptive of office, but rapidly becoming a family name under the in- fluence of the hereditary nature of the office. Later, in the political shifting of power in those tumultuous days, the sept lost the honor of bearing the king's standard, but the name by this time had become permanently estab- lished, and was not dropped. The Bannermans constitute an im- portant division of the Clan Forbes, and tradition has it that in the days of Malcolm IV. or William the Lion, made standard-bearer to the king, and one of the Chieftains of this clan was that for several generations the office and honor were hereditary. In the same manner the title descriptive of it became hereditary also, and the cus- tomary designation of this branch of the Clan Forbes. hot summer months are to small child- ren.

An oil well that can be reached only by swinging in a rope sling operated from a stiff-leg derrick at the top of a 107-ft. cliff, was recently completed at Point Firmin, California. The well is located on a narrow ledge of tide land, and at the bottom of the cliff. The ledge is so narrow that, at high tide, the water rises to within a foot of the rig. Despite the fact that all material and workmen had to be low- ered and hoisted from above by means of the derrick and sling, the well was completed without a mishap. This re- mains still the only way to reach the well. M!nard's Llniment Relieves Neuralgla . , .: Maia: For Worry, if it gets control. will make you pay a heavy toll.

During the war, the Germans had a gun that did actually fire a projectile 75 miles. Up to the present that has been considered the very limit pos- sible in long-range weapons. But there is no limit to modern progress, and a new development in this line has in- spired the inventor and others to claim a possible range for a projectile of 300 miles. The new principle has been embodied, as yet, only in a de- vice resembling the ordinary hand- gun rivetiug machine. In place of the hammer of the riveter. steel slugs are dropped into the barrel of the ma- crine, which is charged with some special smokeless explosive, and fires these slugs into a steel plate ‘94 in. thick. Tests of this machine were The ancient cathedrals scattered over Europe are full of such expedi- ents of illusion, and from those sources our modern architects have acquired many of the hints on which their own designs are based. in the Orient there is an inscription with itskletters arranged vertically; but to make the letters appear of equal size they are increased in size progressiver toward the top. The long lines/of the beam which surmounts a row of columns would ap- pear to sag if they were straight. To satisfy the eyeâ€"i.e., to look straightâ€" they must be curved. The stories of a building, to look of equal height, must increase in height as they go up. On one famous temple Tall columns must be made with a considerable bulge. If their outer lines were straight they would look shrunk in the middle. In the columns of the Parthenon this bulge amounts to threequarters of an inch. The ancients understood this sort of thing wonderfully well. Take, for instance, the famous Parthenon of Athens. Its superb columns look as if vertical and parallel, but in reality they are inclined toward one another so much that, if they were continued upward, they would meet at the height of about a mile. All of what we call perspective is, of course, illusion. Where two objects of equal size are concerned the more dis- tant one looks smaller. A straight railroad track seems to meet at a point in the distance. All the prin- ciples of optics that apply to architec- ture are based upon illusion. In the construction of any large building where effectiveness to the eye has to be considered the architect who knows his business takes into View certain illusions of the eye. Thus, for example, a diminishing tower can be made to look higher by decreasing the size of its successive portions more rapidly. Every muscle in the body needs con- stantly a supply of rich. red blood in proportion to the work it does. The muscles of the back are under a heavy strain and have but little rest. When the blood is thin they lack nourish- ment. and the result is a sensation of pain in those muscles. Some people think pain in the back means kidney trouble. but the best medical authori- ties agree that backache seldom or never has anything to do with the kid- neys. Organic kidney disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the back. This being the case, pain in the back should always lead the sufferer to look to the condition of his blood. It will be found in most cases that the use of Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills to build up the blood will stop the sensation of ‘pain in the ill-nourished muscles of the back. How much better it is to try Dr. VVilliams' Pink Pills for the blood than to give way to unreason‘ able alarm about your kidneys. If you suspect your kidneys, any doctor can make tests in ten minutes that will set your fears at rest, or tell you the worst. But in any event to be per- fectly healthy you must keep the blood in good condition, and for this purpose no other medicine can equal Dr. Wil- liams‘ Pink Pills.

A woman on her first railway trip noticed the communication cord over- head, so she gave it a pull with her umbrella. The whistle sounded, the brakes were put on, and the train be- gan to slacken its speed. Presently the guard appeared and asked, “Who pulled the cord '3" "I did," replied the woman, meekly. “Well, what do you want?" "Some ham sandwiches and a cup of tea, please.” “I guess I know," said George, seri‘ ously. “I’ve got on Henry’s shirt and his pants and his shoes.” One autumn little George entered the same kindergarten that his brother Henry had attended during the me vious year. Very frequently the teach- er called him Henry by mistake, until she became provoked at herself and said to him: “I am sorry, George, but I don’t know why I always call you Henry.” "Dear me!” said the girl. “01 course, I know it's awfully out of fas- hion, but I had no idea. a. country bull would notice it."

The city girl spending her holidays in the country, was complaining to the farmer about the savage way the bull regarded her. “Well,” said the farm- er, "it must be on account of that, red waist you’re wearing." “You can do the dining-room on Thursday," said Mrs. Newrich. “What shall we do in the interim, madam?"
