As with only cently was shown out a side entrance of Buckingham Palace by an attend­ ant who did not recognize him. He also was halted by a House of Lords attache this week and asked if he were a member of the Cabinet. The first occasion was at the royal court. Prime Minister retired to another part of the room, though his official posi- ■ tlon wras behind the King and Queen on the dais. When the procession formed to follow the Sovereigns from the throne room the Prime Minister waited until the court dignitaries and members of the diplomatic corps had passed and then modestly started to follow. An attendant, however, ignor­ ant of the identity of the King’s first Minister, said he could not join the procession and insisted upon showing him out by a side door. Mr. Baldwin liked the joke so much that he did not protest. When the Prime Minister attempted to make his way to the place in West­ minster Hall reserved for Ministers, on the occasion of its reopening by the King after a protracted period of renovation, a House of Lords attend­ ant touched him on the arm and in­ quired if he were a member of the Cabinet. Mr. Baldwin quietly answered that he was the Prime Minister and the attendant hurriedly walked away in dismay. The Mower Sang. The mower paused to whet his scythe, And whetting it he sang Till to the merry tune and blithe The stretching hay fields rang. The sweat ran down his sunburnt face. But deep his breath and slow, A wind made ripples in the place Where still he had to mow. The whetstone rasped along the snath, Which hummed beneath the stroke, The knife that had laid low the swath In ringing triumph spoke. Pennies as Pledges. In its original form the penny not a coin, but a token or pledge, derivation comes from the same source as that from which we get the word “pawn,” and also such words “panel,’ ’ “pane,” counterpane,” “panicle.” i The readiest pledge to leave i pawn was cloth, hence the Latin “pan- na,” a piece of cloth. The original panel was a piece of cloth, or patch, and from this we get the word “pane” as applied to a pane of glass, and also the word “penny,” its literal meaning being a pledge or token., and hence a coin. Originally the word was spelt “peny.” The word shilling really means a division of money into small parts, and is obtained from a word meaning i “to divide.” Thus, in the first place, | it was not a coin, but an indication of j money having been made up in small form. Sterling, as applied to money, is de- I rived from the Hanseatic League, [ which had an important house in Eng- i land. As their land lay "to the east j of England,” Englishmen called them “Easterlings,” and the gold they paid in the course of trade became known as “Easterling money.” Subsequently the expression became sterling. What words were coupled to the tune He sang amid the hay? It may have been a wordless rune The mower sang that day. But fully did I understand The song that then I heard, As though each note the mower spanned Was wedded to a word. And as he sang my dull heart sang And While And lifted to the blue, all the stretching hayfield rang all my spirit, too. —Maurice Morris.

The man, who is the proprietor of a fashionable restaurant, and his wife, are both seventy, and it was their de­ sire that their funeral should take place before their death. A long cortege of “mourners” left the Kochi park, and all the procedure of the funeral service according to Buddist rites was carried out in regu- i lar order at the Hongwan Temple. I After the service the couple enter-‘ tained many of their “mourners” at a dinner, given to celebrate their longe­ vity. They believe that the “funeral’ has given them a new lease of life.

The Canadian Government steam­ ship Arctic sailed from Quebec on July 9th for points in the Canadian Arctic archipelago in the provisional district of Franglin, Northwest Territories. It had been intended that the ship re­ cently purchased in England for this service, and renamed the Franklin, would be used this year, but owing to unforeseen delays in having her hull strengthened to meet ice conditions this was impossible and it was neces­ sary to recommission the famous old Arctic for one more northern voyage. As last year the expedition, which is in charge of the North West Terri­ tories Branch of the Department of the Interior, is commanded by Mr. J. D. Craig, and Captain J. E. in charge of the Arctic, board include a number of naturalists', and engineers gate the natural resources gion; the members of the special court which is to conduct the trial of three Eskimos charged with murder; and a number of members of the Royal Cana­ dian Mounted Police to relieve men stationed in the north. The cargo con­ sisted chiefly of supplies for the posts at Craig Harbor and Ponds Inlet and for the new posts it is intended to es­ tablish. It is expected the Arctic will return in October.

Georges Clemenceau, the veteran French statesman, is exciting a great deal of comment in the French capital because of his remarkable energy. He ■is up at seven o’clock each morning and begins his round of visits at eight o’clock. He has an hour’s gymnastic lessons regularly every morning, and generally has very little time to spare. However, one of his favorite pas­ times is telling good stories, and the following is the latest gem of a reper­ toire that must contain thousands upon thousands of amusing anecdotes. This story concerns, strange as it may seem, himself; it must be remem­ bered that M. Clemenceau is modest and very rarely tells a about himself, although tales him are legion. The grand old Frenchman was ing outside his residence one morning Rbout eight o’clock, when a photo, grapher from a morning newspaper sidlecj up to him, and asked: “Excuse me, but has Clemenceau come out yet? I want to take his pic­ ture.” “Clemenceau, Clemenceau!” said the former premier thoughtfully. “I seem to know the name, but who is he? Who is he?” I don’t know the end of this delight­ ful story, but it seems extremely un­ likely that Clemenceau gave the game away and let the photographer take his picture. It is oqe of the boasts of the French statesman that he will never have his photograph taken for newspaper purposes for the next ten or twenty years. After that time, of course, he may relent. --------------------- Timber. Stroke of the axe! The trunk shivers and gapes, Stroke on stroke!

While on his route from Singapore, a violent disturbance was noted on ! the surface of the sea, where a mass 1 “dark in color, with straight sides,! about 100ft. in height and between I two and three miles in length,” had risen above the surface. “There "Were breakers along the en­ tire length,” the sea was terial.

SAVE THE CHILDREN Mothers who keep a box of Baby’s Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe durini the hot weath­ er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan­ tum and diarrhoea carry off thousands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby’s Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given occasional­ ly to the well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaran­ teed by government analyst to be ab­ solutely harmless even to the new­ born babe. They are especially good in summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr Brookville, Ont.

Some people have a tendency to be­ come thin-blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condi­ tion in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and stealthily that anyone with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symp­ toms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlessness on slight ex­ ertion, such as going up stairs, is no­ ticed. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of diseases caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood-making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post­ paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil­ liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Little Peter was of an inquiring turn Df mind. “Daddy,” he asked one day, “is to­ day to-morrow?” “No, my son, of course it isn’t to­ morrow,” was the reply. “But you said it was,” murmured Peter. “When did I say to-day was to-mor­ row?” asked father. “Yesterday,” answered Peter. “Well, it was. To-day was to-mor­ row yesterday but to-day is to-day, just as yesterday was to-day yester­ day but is yesterday to-day, and to morrow will be to-day to-morrow, which makes to-day yesterday and to­ morrow all at once. Now run along and play.” Poor Puss. After a particularly trying day an English barrister came home with his nerves on edge and at once sought re­ fuge in his own study, well away from the noises of the household. He sat down by the fire and was gradually feeling calmer, when the cat, which had Men sitting there too, got up slowly Z.M walked across the room. The barrister started, then turned on her and said Indignantly: "Now .what are you stamping round Ii ere for ?” Surnames and Their Origin CUMMING. Variations — Cummings, Commlngs, Cumyn. Racial Origin—Norman-French. Source—A locality. This group of family names is dis­ tinctly Scottish. It lsi, In fact, the name of an old feudal estate in Nor­ mandy. This does not mean, however, that any appreciable amount of French blood flows In the veins of descend­ ants of the Clan Cumming, for names form no infallible guide to blood. Prob­ ably no better example‘of this could be given than in the case of this par­ ticular name. The Sire de “Comeyn,” or “Comin-” as it is spelled in another copy of the battle roll called at the command of William the Conqueror followiKg the Battle of Hastings, at which he broke the kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons, was one of the followers of the Conqueror. His given name does not appear, but the name of the place of which he was the ruler served for the Norman noble­ man the same purpose as a modern family name, for his rulership was hereditary. Either this nobleman or his son pre­ sumably was the Richard “Cornyn” who settled in Scotland and became a follower of King David I. of that country, starting the family on the road to high honors. Later a John, known as the “Red Cumyn,” laid claim to the Scottish throne and killed Robert the Bruce. The family won its holdings and position in the Highlands, as a few otker Norman families did, both through intermarriage and grants of the Scottish kings. In this manner the clan following gradually was built up from the inhabitants of the granted territories, they, of course, taking the name from the chief of the clan. NEWMAN Variations—Neuman, Neumann, New­ comer, Newcum, Newcomb. Racial Origin—English and German. Source—Descriptive. It was not until after the Norman conquest, and the two races, Norman and Anglo-Saxon, had begun to inter­ mingle thoroughly, that the period of i industrial growth began. This period, one of increasing pros­ perity for the medieval English, was also the period in which the real ' growth of family names began in that I country. It was a period in which, as , a result of the new social and econo­ mic order, there was a considerable shifting about of population occurring. , Men moved about from place to place, ■ in the slackening bonds of feudalism, ' searching for new opportunities. I There was not a community that ' did net have its quota of new settlers., i When you search for another word i than “newcomers” by which to desig- ' nate them, you realize how naturally j they came to be Called “newcomers” ; by the communities in which they set- ! tied. Such names as “Peter le Newe,” ; “Geoffrey le Newcomer” and “Roger : Newcommen” (“newly come”) are quite frequent in the medieval records of about this period. The name of Newcomb properly should not have that final “b,” for it does not come from the word “comb,” descriptive of the character of the land, hike the names Combs, Coombe and Coombes. Neuman and Neumann are for the ; most part German equivalents of the English name. The latter is in vir­ tually all cases, as is indicated by the final “nn.” Seventy thousand trout fry and 250,000 trout eggs were deposited in the outlying lakes and streams of Waterton Lakes national park with gratifying success during the past season. Music is Organized Sound. With regard to performing and hear­ ing music, the multiplication of in­ struments like the player piano and the talking machine added to the large number of persons w’ho are able to play the piano, the organ, the violin and other stringed instruments—these all have, smoothed the way to the un­ derstanding and appreciation of music. It is by no means true that music is appreciated when it is understood, nor is it necessarily understood when it is appreciated. A long experience in teaching musical appreciation to col­ lege students has convinced one well- known authority of the truth of these statements, (1) An understanding of ffiusic without any real love for it, without feeling its worth, -will result in mere snobbery, (2) A love of music, a belief in its great value without knowledge of its structure, without any exact knowledge how it grew or of what it is composed, will leave its possessor critically helpless, unable to distinguish between the false and the true, able to say only this, “I know what I like.” To know what music is made of, to approach it as organized sound, to realize that it has structure, to know that it Is subject to the same great laws of growth as the other arts, to es­ teem it not because it helps one to make pictures, or for any other rea­ son, but because it has value in and of itself, this is to understand music. Quite apart from what many people are pleased to term its message, be­ yond any emotional enjoyment- ex­ perienced in hearing it, music exists as organized sound, and lasting and profound appreciation of music come to one the more profoundly that truth is apprehended. -------------A------------ MONEY ORDERS. .

Everyone knows how exorbitant th© prices of genuine antique furniture frequently are. The purchasers are generally rich and don’t often dispute the price, and the supply Is rarely equal to the demand.. In a recent court case, says London Opinion, a witness who was a furniture dealer testified as follows: “In October, 1920, I went to Sudbury Hall, Lord Vernon’s place In Derby­ shire, to bring to town ten Chippen­ dale chairs and two settees that we had bought. In a few days we sold them to Messrs. Dighton.” “What did you pay for them?” asked the examining lawyer. “About six hundred pounds.” “How long was it before you sold them to Messrs. Dighton?” “About six weeks.” “For how much?” “One thousand four hundred pounds.” “And then they were sold to Mr. Shrager for three thousand pounds! What do you suppose Lord Vernon would think of that—a profit of two thousand four hundred pounds the dealers made out of his chairs in a few weeks?” What indeed! -------------*------------ Keep Minard’s Liniment In the house. -------------*------------ Manifestations.
