A Strange Conversion. ,
How a woman was converted to
Christianity by a Brahmin is told by
a recent writer.
Cecelia Thaxter, a poetess, was an
earliest student of strange and mysti-
cal teachings. At one time she was
much dominated by the teachings of
John Weiss, and she did not appreci-
ate the beauty and power of the Bible.
She saw a good deal of a Hindu theo-
sophist.
One day sire said too her friend, Mary
Parkman, "Did I speak contemptuous-
ly of such a person? I ought not to,
for one of the principles of theosophy
is to feel no contempt far any human
being,"
Miss Parkman replied, "But did not
Jesus teach that? Is it not all in the
Sermon on the Mount?"
By and by Mohini himself happened
to get hold of a copy of the New
Testament, and was much surprised
and itnpressed by the beauty of its
contents. He spoke of it to Mrs.
Thaxter, and found to his amazement
that she knew nothing about the New
Testament.
"Fiat!" he said. "You do not read
your own religious books? I never
heard anything more beautiful than
this."
• Mrs. Thaxter forthwith began to
read the New Testament and became
so much interested in it that she went
about with a copy in her pocket;
whenever she had a chance she would
read it. From that time she began to
attend Phillips Brooks's church. She
was converted to Christianity by a
Brahmin theosophist!
Making Markets.
"To a very large degree, produc-
tion is controlled by profits and the
ease of marketing the products, but
sometimes, as in the live stock indus-
try, markets have to be created.
Canada was producing the fat hog
and for years had an outlet for the
surplus product; but marketing con-
ditions changed and the industry im-
mediately faced rather a difficult
situation. A new market was the
solution. The Government was imine=
diately seized of the situation and had
careful surveys and investigations
made; educational campaigns were
carried on, the type of hog raised in
The island of Lundy, off the Bristol.
Channel, was for many years in the
occupation of a man named Heaven,
and the place was referred to by
sailors as the "Kingdom of Heaven."

Eastern Canada was changed, and the,
bacon industry as we know it to -day
came into being. Those who assisted
in the transformation realized how
great were the difficulties and how
tremendous the possibilities. Time has
proved to the satisfaction of Cana-
dians that the exportable surplus of
agricultural products must meet, in
so far as is possible, the standards
laid down by the importing nations.
Moreover, we have learned that it is
profitable to meet these demands
wherever feasible. Canadian bacon is
in Great Britain, and even in other
countries, a standard product. The
Government's part now is to keep
clear all • trade channels„ thus pro-
viding the demand, while the reputa-
tion already achieved assures the pro-
ducer a price comparable to Chat re-
ceived in any other market." ---Dr. S.
F. Telltale, Minister of Agriculture.
THE TREA§URE
OF GOOD HEALTH
Surnames and Their Origin
HOMER.
Racial Origin—Anglo-Norman.
Source—An occupation.
While the Normans spoke French
they were really a Teutonic race.
Indeed, a large part of the blood of
modern France, particularly in the
north, was originally Teutonic, the re-
sult of the great migrations westward
of the Teutons into what had pre-
viously been the purely Gallic prov-
inces of the Roman Empire. Thus not
only the overwhelming majority of
names, but a large percentage of the
words in the medieval French speech
were Teutonic.
One of these words was that for
"helmet," a modern word which has
come clown to us both through the
Anglo-Saxon an.,: the Norman-French
tongues, only for some reason we have
perpetuated the diminutive rather than
the original word itself, "Helmet"
means "little helm." As the Normans
originally spelled and pronounced it,
It was "healme," but in accordance
with that tendency which has scatter-
ed the diphthong "au" so profusely
through modern French, namely, the
tendency to drop the pronunciation of
the "1" and substitute a long - "e"
sound for the former vowel, it was
quite generally spelled "'heaume" be-
fore the population of England finally
swung hack toward the old Anglo-
Saxon speech.
The "heaumers" or "'healmers" of
:medieval- England were the makers of
helmets. The name was, of course,
first applied as descriptive of this oc-
cupation, with this meaning being ul-
timately. lost
1-timately.lost in that of mere personal
designation. With the original mean-
ing forgotten er unstressed the tend-
ency toward phonetic spelling in an
age when spelling was little standard -
Easily Maintained Through the
Use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
There le not a nook or corner in
Canada, in the cities, the towns, in
villages, en the farIn1 and in the mines
and lumber camps, where Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have not been used,
and from one end of the country to
the other they have brought back to,
bread -winners; their wives and fart-
ilies the splendid treasure of new
health and strength,
Yon lave only to ask
your neigh-
hors,
elg-hors, and tjiey can tell you of some
rheumatic or nerve -shattered man,
some suffering woman, ailing youth or
anaemic girl who owes prel ent health
and strength to Dr: Williams' Pink
Pills, For more than a quarter oe a
century these pills have been known
not only in Canada, but throughout all
the World, as a reliable tonic, blood-
making medicine.
The wonderful Mucosas of Dr.
liams' Pink Pills is due to the fact
that they go right to the root ot the
disease in the blood, and by making
the vital fluid rich and red strengthen
every organ and every nerve, thus
driving out disease and pain, and

will keep me up to the mark is Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave
home far a trip in the woods I am as
interested in having.my supply of pills
as 'provisions, and on such occasions,
I take them regularly. The result is
I, ani always fit. I never tako cold,
and can digest all kinds of food such
as we have to pht up with hastily cook-
ed in the woods. Having proved the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as
a tonic and health builder, I am never
without then, and I lose no opportun-
ity in recommending them to weak
people whom I meet."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be
kept in every home, and their occa-
sional use will keep the blood pure
and ward off illness. You can get
these pills through any medicine deal-
er, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for X2.50 from the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

CASEY.
Variation—Cahasey, O'Casey.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
The Irish family name of Casey is
one which, strangely enough in view
of its Irish form, so complicated to
our English -accustomed eyes, has de-
veloped very few variations in its
transition into English spelling.
This is true because, despite the
complicated •looks of the Gaelic spell-
ing, the pronunciation is not very
susceptible to any other phonetic
rendition in English than Casey, or
'when care is taken to preserve the
faint "h" sound in the middle of the
name, Callasey.
The Irish spelling is nothing less
than "O'Cathasaigh," sometimes also
spelled "O'Cahesaidh." To our Eng-
lish -trained eyes the latter form illus-
trates best its pronunciation, when it
is remembered that the sound of the
final "dh" easily became eliminated,
and makes cleaithe reason for the
spelling sometimes, but not often met
with Cahasey. The "h" in such a
name is very easy to ignore except
for a tongue trained in the Irish
language.
The given name from which this
fancily or clan name was developed
is "Cathasach," and its meaning is
"brave." It was a name quite com-
mon in the • old Irlash nomenclature,
but, of 'course, only in comparatively
few instances gave rise to a family
name.
The O'Caseys in Ireland are most
thickly settled in Munster, Limerick
and Clare : (the territory which was
the ancient Thomond), and also an
Cork." •

Vegetables That Are Benefit-
ed by Freezing.
It is known by mostgardeners that
cabbage, parsnips, turnips, salsify,
and carrots are not injured by freez-
ing, provided they thaw out while in
contact with the earth or soil; but it
is also a fact that certain winter
vegetables are not at their best until
they have been frozen hard at least
once while in the ground., ' Parsnips
and salsify especially, should stand in
the ground until there has .been
weather cold enough to freeze several
inches, then the roots may be dug and
stored in an open pit and covered
with dirt. The covering may be
sufficiently heavy to prevent further
freezing if it is desired' to go Ante
them during the winter, but it will
Ido no harm if "covered only a few
inches so that they will freeze and
thaw several times. They, will be of
better texture and flavor ley having
frozen. Turnips -should not be al-
lowed to freeze more than once, and
cabbage also keeps best if covered
well after the heads have frozen once
er twice and thawed out under ground.
The 'stalks should also be 'covered with
soul when in storage, as the frost wrle
come clown them into the head if they
