Beesley, Mille Roche, Ont.,‘ writes: “I have used Baby's Own Tab- lets 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 moth- ers." What Mrs. Beesley says thous-l ands of other mothers say. The Tab-i lets are a mild but thorough laxative. which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out consti- pation and indigestion and making teething easy.

The total length of China's canals would be sufficient to cross Canada forty times from north to south. The number of boats in China exU coeds the number of boats in all the rest of the world. There is coal enough in the province of Shansi, in north China, to supply the world for 2,000 years, and vast iron deposits close by. The Yang-tse-Kiang River pours, when high, a million and a half tons of water a minute into the Yellow Sea. The great cause of the families east of Pekin and north of the delta of the Yellow River is a westerly gale that may blow night and day for four whole months without ceasing. The fertility of China is due to the loess constituting the soil of the Great Plain from Pekin to the Yang-tse Kiang basin. This loess is a yellow soil. Loess has self-sufficiency of fer- tility beyond any other known soil. The loess can be powdered in the hands, but is firm enough for entire communities to carve out apartments in which they live comfortably. Cliffs of loess occur. A single mile of loess soil in Shan- tung province wil support 3,072 people, '256 donkeys, 256 cattle and 512 pigsâ€" an average of twelve individuals, one donkey, one cow and two pigs all on a single farm of two and a half acres. ;â€"â€"_¢.\â€"â€"â€"__ Boots made of a special patent metal, extremely light and cheap, with all parts replaceable, have been de- signed “oy a Marseilles workman. Surnames and Their ilrigin O'SHAUGHNESSY Variationsâ€"O'Shaghnassy, O’Shaunes- sy. Racial Originâ€"Irish. Sourceâ€"A given name. Like virtually all of the Irish family names, the first use of this name as a surname was to designate a clan. The Gaelic form of the name is “O’Seachnasaigh.” ° And what is the proper pronuncia- tion of this? Well, it’s difficult for an English-speaking tongue to get it ab- solutely, but “O'shaw-nesch,” with the accent on the “Shaw” and the final syllable a rather vague one, somewhat between the sound of “sch” and “say.” An “s” before an "e" or "i" in Gaelic takes the sound of “sh.” ‘ The “O’Seachnasaigh” became a clan about the year 1100 A.D., becomâ€" ing known by that name as the follow- ers of a Chieftain of the O’Connor line named “Seachnasach.” The O‘Connors of Ireland held a po- sition in the ancient history of that land not dissimilar to that of the Clan Aplin in Scotland. So many of its di- visions became full-fledged clans them» selves. Thus, as many of the Scottish clans trace back to the Clan Alpin, so in Ireland there were many closely as- sociated with the O‘Connors, including the O’Dowds, the O'Colmans, the O’Cahiils, the O'Rowans, the O’Scan- ions, and the Irish Forbes, not to be confounded with the Scottish clan of that name. The stronghold of the O'Shaughnessys was "Cineol Aodha," now spelled Kinelee, in Countinal- way. CULLEN Variationsâ€"O’Culien, Cullin, O’Cullin. Racial Originâ€"Irish. Sourceâ€"A given name. “O’Cullin” is the Gaelic form of the clan name from which the Anglicized family names of Cullen, O’Cullen, Cul- lin and O’Cullin have been developed. The founder of the clan, a Chieftain by the name of “Cullin,” was a great- grandson of “Core,” a contemporary of St. Patrick. Hence it will be seen that this family or clan name is of great antiquity, much older than the bulk of the family names of England, Scotland and the Continent. Indeed, the ancient Irish records give this cliieftain‘J‘Core” the credit of being the ancestor of the Scottish Stewart clan, and hence of the Stew- art line of English monarchs. According to the fragmentary his- tories this “Core” fled to Scotland in his youth, where he married a daugh- ter of the Pietish king. One of his sons, “Main Leamhna,” remained in that country and founded the line of the “Mor Mhair Leamhna,” the “mor- maors’” or the “Great Stewards” of Lenox. Corc returned to Ireland, but was-never converted to Christianity, though he was appointed to a commit- tee of scholars, including the High Monarch, the saint himself and a numâ€" ber of bishops, to codify and classify the historical records Kingdom of Ireland. of the High ‘lliililillillliiltllllllLitiilillilllll.lfit:lllti.inliiiuntilt2l.li;i.t.l..t.... have produced, from appeal to every NCE the crispness and charm of Grape-N uts have tested by the family, there’s one item that stands promâ€" inently out in the marketing list thereafter.
