There are many stories told against
Irishmen•>of ripe and full age, but not
44 many about them when they are
young. Stili, here is a proof that they
are Irishmen even before they are
breeched,
it was a class -room in a village
school In Ireland, and the teacher was
.giving a lesson on salt.
"Now," she said, at the conclusion
of her rather long and inclusive lee -
tures, «I want someone to give lee a
good definition of salt."
"Shure, teacher," said Micky, a
bright, blue-eyed youngster. "it's the
stuff which males potatoes taste
nasty when you boil them and deal

Surnames and Te rim
ROBERTS
VA1tiA.TIONS- .II. bertson, Robson,
Robinson, Robison, Probert, Prabyn,
Bobinett.
RACIAL ORIGIN--14tecilieval Eng-
lish; also Welsh.
SOURCE—A given name.
1;i.rbert was one of the most popular
of Christian names in the middle ages
in pngiand, more so by far than to-'
and as an inevitable result the
family name, cf Roberts to -day is most
widespread, as are also the unusually!!
large number of variations from it.
Probably no bettei illustration could
be chosen cf the manner in which farn-
sly names of that class derived feint
given names developed.
The origins of all the t variations
mentioned in this article, which, by
the way, fall far short of completing
the full list of Robert names, have
-'leen. along normal lin¢ and obvious
dines.
As a given name, Robert is of Teu-
eenico.:owing front two roots;'
"limed" in the early Przn?tish tongue
( l.:itl±aha" in Senediaavian), mean-'
ing, "fame," enddt, the old word common'
to. all Teutonic tongues signifying
"bright," which in German names has
developed into "brecht" • er "precha,"
and in English names into "bert."
Robin was a very common variation
of the given name 'in old England, as
'vas' the contraction Reis. From the
former has conic Robinson, Robison,)
Robins and Robinet, the last named
through • the use of : the Norman-
Ftench di iinutive "et." Robertson,
of course, is simply "Robert's son,
and Robson iS "Rob's son." Probert
land Probyn are forms of the name
i •
developed in Wales from "Ap-Robert"
and "Ap-Robyn," the "ap" being sine':
.lar teethe Gaelic "0' " and "Mae and
the Norman-French "Fitz," and sere-
'ting -the same perpose of the Anglo-
Saxon ending, 'son." .
Washing by Five.
The silky fibre derived from Berta n
rocks which we call asbestos wee fa-
miilar to the ancient ('reeks and ' He -
Mails, ' and was commonly used by
then to make fireproof yearn,, fireproof
rope and fireproof cloth.
These are the uses ,to which asbes-
tos is chiefly put 4lettliet present time.
It is only in the preelnotion of thread
from this materlal.th at we have muclz
improved upon the tacients. It is
now spun so fine that a pound of as-
bestos will yield two-thirds of a mile
of thread..

DRAWING ON YOUR
SEY MOU1t
VARIATIO N-Seym ore.
P y.CTAL ORIGIN --Norman-French,
also Middle English.
SOURCE—Descriptive of locality,
also of occupation.
Tt is surprising how many family
names which have come to us from
England have developed from two or
mare independent sources. The sur-
name of Seymour is one of these.
Regarding it in the light of one .of
these sources, it belongs to that very
large classification of family names,
descriptive cf localities in various
!.arts of northern Europe, which de-
veloped in England following the in-
vasion of William the Conqueror.
As William had gathered his forces
from many sections of Normandy,
making it a rather cosmopolitan
host, and as this took place at a time
when there, was necessity for some 1
system of names which would dis- 1
tinguish, one Jahn from another, and
one Hubert from another, it became 1
quite common, when the Normans got;
to England, to add to a man's given;
name sone 'mention of the locality in
Normandy from which hehad come. 1
One ef the places from which many l
of the invaders were enrolled was St. rr
Maur. The records show first men-
tion of this surname in the form of
"de St. Maur" (of St. Maur). Follow-
ing this the English language went
through the throes of radical change
in a short•period, from which the name
emerged as Seymour and Seymore.
The more humble explanation of the
name's .origin is that. it developed
fresh the trade ef same cf the early
bearers. The word for tailor in those
days,was sometimes "sumer," and is
is more than likely .that, in some in-
stances at least, the surname Seymour
may be so explained, being influenced
in its spelling by the prior existence
of the changed form of St. Maur.

Pills in crces c,f health breakdown,
through weak, Zvi te,y blood. Mrs.
Selwoley says: "For upwards of five
years i felt
my SLIengt2 deCllling,
un-
til at last I could not do light chores
around the place. Then a doctor was
called in, and after doctoring about a
month he said that only an operation
would help me. I did not feel like go-
ing through this, and decided that In
any event I would wait a whi/e. T had
no appetite, often had headaches ac-
companied
ccompanied by dizzy spells; several
times I had fainting spells, and my
legs would swell, and I could not even
sweep a floor without resting several
times. Again a doctor was called in
and tie said the trouble was general
debility and nervous breakdown. The
treatment, however, did not help me,
and then one evening as my husband
was reading the paper, he came across
a case in many respects similar to
mine, cured through the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. The next day
he got me a supply of the Pills, and
to their continued faithful use for
several months, T owe my present
splendid health. 'I may say that soon
after beginning the use of the pills 1
felt a gradual improvement in my con-
dition, my appetite improved, I began
to feel tested after a night's sleep and
I gained in weight. My friends were
continually expressing surprise at my
improved condition, as it was general-
ly believed I had become a chronic in-
valid. I always take a delight in'"tell-
ing them that Dr. Williams'. Pink Pii:s
are responsible for my presentgeed
health, and as they have ,been: a real
blessing to me I shall always continue
to praise them."
If you are suffering from any con-
dition due to poor, watery blood, or
weak nerves, begin taking Dr.. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills now, and note how
your strength and health will improve.

Pictures imprinte ? on the siiu are
a common freak of lightning.
Natural objects,, trees, .ships, and
the patterns of ferns are often 'found
on a mains, woman's, er child'
after it has been struck.
Perhaps the.most, curious instance
of this_ phenomenon is recorded by. the
famous French s•ctentist, •M, Rammer-
ion. A doctor, returning from a train
journey, missed` This purse... Later in
the day he was" called to "attend °a
stranger wiio had been struck by
lightning 'in' a train:
On the Man's throat the doctor was
.amazed to see an imprint' of his own
monogram, similar to that on his lost
purse. The purse was found in the
stranger's pocket.
He had picked the doctor's pocket
in the train, and while examining the
purse a lightning Rash had been at-
tracted by the metal' clasps and im-
printed the monogram on. the thief's
neck.
Scientists often (mete the.case-of
the eight petrified reapers when.talk-
ingot the freaks of lightning.
They were sitting under a tree eat-
ing their midday meal .when a storm.
came on, and they were found later in
the same position—dead.
One pr two held their food in na-
tural attitudes, cne had a mug to Ills
lips, while another was reaching for-
ward with his. hand in the food bag.
All had been struck by lightning.
