under a ladder. That's excellent wis„
done, really, for thereby they escape
the brick that might have dropped on
their head, .or the apace Of paint that
would have ruined their clothes, or
the bit of lime that would have fallen
into their eye and caused them half
a day's agony, or Waree.
The superstitious will not sit down
with thirteen at table. Excellent W13 -
dont again. Thirteen is an odd num.
ber. When conversation develops on
pair lines, as It generally does, then
someone has to be left out or
brought in as a third. Further, if Vela,
teen at table means that one is to die
before the year is out, isn't it wiser
to live? The cost of dying is as much
up as the cost of living.
Then there's the salt -spilling super-

the ill luck is cancelled if you throw

Surnames and Their Origin

RACIAL ORIGIN Irl.>h plus Norman-
French.
SOURCE—A given name.
There :is probably more romance
and tragedy, and certainly more his-
tora;a bound up in the surnames of
Irish origin than in those which de-
veloped in any other country, with the
passible exception of Scotland.
Ireland to -day is full of Anglo-Saxon
anti Norman-French names , which
families of pure Irish blood were
forced by law to assume. Sometimes
they simply translated their names in-
to English. At others they adopted
those English names which were near-
est in sound to their own.
But the shifting nomenclature of
Ireland was not a one-sided affair by
any means. And of this fact such
names as MacWilliams stand witness.
,to -day,
Prior to the death of William de
Burgo, third earl. of 'Ulster, - at the
hands of the natives in the year 1333,
many Norman-French families had be-
come thoroughly settled, and the Eng-
lish influence predominated in the
north of Ireland. But upon De Bur-
go's death this influence waned so
rapidly that these families had no
choice lint to cast their lot with the
Irish, and the fancily of De Burgo,
with many others; abandoned their
Norman family .names and construct-
ed new ones for themselves after, the
Irish fashion of using the, first naive
of a revered ancestor with the prefix
Hui (0' in moderh spelling), or Mac,
'to denote' descent. Thus the Burgos
j became "Sons -of William or Mac.
iWilliams, and such names as' Mac-
iDavid, MacAndrews and MacHenry
came into being. among families which
int the course' of time have, as the tra-
dition goes, "become more hien than
the Trish themselves."

RACIAL ORIGilt—Welsh.
SOURCE -4 given name,
When pronunciations change, of
names as well as common words, it
is due to one or more of several
causes. The most powerful cause of
language changes of course, is ease
of pronunciation. The tongue un-
consciously slips into the.easier pro-
nunciation and bas tendency to slur
and shorten words. Sometimes the
spelling follows quickly, and -.some-
times it does not, according to wheth-
er the change took place at a time
ivhe.n literature exerted little be -
fluence or much. ,
Another cause is the effort to pro-
nounce a word as it is spelled. Both
of these causes are involved in the ex-
planation of why such names as Price
and . Preece, Rice and Reese, which
really are the sante names, have dif-
ferent pronunciations to -day. If the
old pronunciation were followed, all
of these family names would be pro-
nounced with the "ee" sound, as in
"see," for "i" and "y" .are so pro-
nounced in the Welsh speech, and
they -never had the "eye" sound in
Anglo-Saxon or Norman-French, ' nor
even as tate as Shakespeare's time.
All of these family navies have been
developed from the Welsh given name
of "Rhys," which meant "warrior," by
affixing "ap" ("son of"). In some of
them the "ap" has been dropped en=
tirely. In others only the "a" has
been dropped and the -"p" has been in-
corporated in the name. - •
But neither Price nor Rice has any
connection 'whatever with our modern
English .words "price" and "rice."

Antiquity of Lotus.
Pew lowers have been more identi-
fied with the world's history than the
mysterious lotus of Egypt. The phrase
"lotus eaters" is a common one in
literature, and Is used to describe
those who live in a dream world. The
food made from the dried seeds of
the Egyptian variety seems to have
had an effect similar to various opium
products, and once in the clutch of the
drug the lotus aeons forgot both past
a,nd family, and went about, oblivious
of demands made by society; kin or
even their own physical wants.
The lotus is closely identified with
the ancient Egyptian religion, and was
dedicated to Osiris,,,no Egyptian think-
ing of approaching' a temple without
