'him tap, "I believe I smell cocoanuat cake!' . he remarked wistfully,, rising from his Chair and looking toward the kitchen. The lady laughed, went 'to the pan- try and cut him a very thin slice. Bob- ble thanked hereend. said: "It seems Strange that could smellsuch a little •piece, doesa't it?" "My papa is a mounted policeman," said Eric -to :a visitor. "Is that better than being a 'walking policeman? asked a visitor. 'Course it is," replied _Eric. ,"If t'here is any trouble he can, get away quicken" "Now," asked the teacher, "who can tell nine what an oyster is?" There was silence for a moment. Then little Billy raised hie hand. "aI know," he triumphantly an- nounced. "An oysteris a fish built .like a nut:' "Does the baby talk yet?" asked a friend of the family. • "No," replied .the baby's, oldelr broth- er disgustedly, "he doesn't need to talk. All he has, to do is to yell, and he gets everything in the house worth hay "What's the matter with the baby?" asked a 1ady.of a little girl whose baby brother she had understood to bt+'ail- in.g . "01i, nothing much," was the ans- . wer, "He's, only hatchin' teeth." Harry, aged five, had never happen- ed to see the moon in the daytime. He came down the other morning shriek- ing with laughter. "Why, Harry, what's the matter?" ' inquired his mother. "0, mamma," said he, as soon as he could speak, 'what a joke! They've forgotten to take the moon in!" The class was- given "Oliver Crom- well" romwell" as the subject for a short essay, and one of the efforts' contained the following sentence: "Oliver Cromwell' had an iron will, and unsightly wart and a large red nos% but underneath were deep re- ligious feelings " , "Willie," said his mother, severely, "you've been fighting. again.

And this is what Jack Smith did while I was counting." Dick was sent to the store far some eggs, A little later he Dame back with a crushed paper bag held tightly in his arms and dripping with the rem- nants, of its contents. "Dick," exclaimed his mother, "what has happened?" "It's all „right, mother," gasped Dick, "I let the eggs fall, but I only lost the juice out of them." Best Light for Eyes. The increasing" use of electric .light, even in lural neighborhoods, lends fresh importance to the question as to whieh of the various, types of electric light: is the one best suited for the humaneyes. Thisis answered de- finitely by La Presse Medicare (Paris) which says: "There are three principal types of electric lamps—the old-fashioned bulb having a carbon filament, the Iamp having. a _long metal filament in a vacuum, and the lamp having a short- er filament in nitrogen. Thle last .is,. more costly, but Inas e a higher degree of` lighting power for an 'equal amount of electricity. "The light of the three types differs considerably to the eye. The elarbon filament gives a more yellowish. light, while the nitrogen light, which is the most brilliant, exhibits. a sort of halo. When analyzed by the .epectoglraph thea radiation of the three lamps . Ls shown to differ greatly. - "The spectrum given by the ifitro- gen lamps is not only the most intense,. • but ilia most extensive, and Includes the ultraviolaet Pays, while the lamp' with the carbon filament has,'a spec- 'brum which ineludes a number of in - gra -red rays, the visible radiation con sisting .mainly of yellow, orange and red. ""This carbon filament lamp contains ,r'too many of the ultra -red rays to be comfortable to the eye. The nitrogen • i' in p, on the :other hand, contains too much of the ultra -violet radiation and' thus renders the • crystalline lens fluorescent, whence comes the halo mentioned above. ,Preference should therefore be given to the vacultni lamp since the light furnished by it is bet- ter balanced and more oom'plete. With regard to the nitrogen lamp it, may be said further that it is Inadvisable that a source of light should be too rich in ultra -Violet rale, since sole tend to diminish the sensitiveness of the re- tina and cause congestion of the eon- junctiva." trnfortunately , eft,erthotights 'cone. last.

Racial Or!gin=English. Source --Geographical. The origin of the family name of Sterling' is bound up with that of our word sterling, as applied to silver, and in its various acquired meanings. In the early middle , ages, before England had become much of a sea- faring nation, the • most intrepid traders• were those vyho .hailed from the various "free cities" along what is now the German seacoast. These cities, owing fealty to no king, or at most but nominal fealty for temporary periods, ware leagued together in the establishmentof trading colonies, and for mutual military defence. They had their agencies which were virtual- ly forts, in all the principal countries of Europe.. One of their stations with great walled -in warehouses, was in London.. These tradens were known to the English as.. `Basterlings"; that is, men of the East, or illasternern.. They settled their transactions in pure silver, and as the English coin of the day was much adulterated the "pound. Easterling" came to be the standard of absolute value, In conunon usage the initial vowels soon were dropped, leaving the word "sterling." The family names Sterling and Eastman originally were preceded by "le";; thus,"Sigmund le Easterling"; and later more simply, as Sigmund Sterling" or "Geoffrey Eastman. MacDOWELL. VarlatIons—MacDowell, Dowell, Dow- ell, MacDholl, MacCoui, Maceool. Racial Origin—Scottish, Source -A ,given name. This groupof names constitutes a class of variations of the clan name. of MacDougall, borne by one of the leading clans of Scotland and all of then!; occur as family names adopted by branches or septa of that clan. Cer- tain of them, too, are not exclusively Scotish, but are to be found in Ireland as well. That the same names should spring up independently in Scotland and Ire- land, though in some cases from dif- ferent soercesr, is not strange, for the bulk of the Scottish Highland clans trace baok to :various' period's of con- quest and colonization. of Scotland by the Dalriadic Scots, from the north of Ireland, virtually an of which took place prior to the fifth century A.D. The difference in the Gaelic of the Highlands and that of Ireland is mor. e a difference of dialect than of lang- uage. The . family name in. this group, like that of MacDougall, trace back to the given name of Dugal, from the Gaelic "dhu;" meaning "dark," and "gall," for "stranger," In the very early period this was the Highlander's name for a man of the low country, but it very quickly became a given name, The family name of McCoul was more anciently spelled "Makoul."

BABY'S ODYN TABLETS AN EXCELLENT REMEDY For Any of the: Many Minor Ail men's of Infants and Young Children. No mother can, expect that her child will escape all the Me to which baby- hood and childhood are subject, but she can do much tolessen their sever- ity, and to make baby's battles for health easily won. Nine -tenths of the minor ailments which afflict babyhood and childhood are caused by some derangement of• the stomach and bowels. Regulate the stomach and bowels and these troubles will disappear.

They are a mild but thorough Iaxative which through their action on the stomach and bowels, never fail to ban- ish constipation and indigestion; colds and simple fevers; expel worms and make the dreaded teething time easy.

Itrost treatments for rheumatism de no more than aim to keep down the poison in theblood and enable nature to overcome that particular attack. Then when the .system becomes run- down from any cause the disease again gets the upper hand and it all has to be done over. Sufferers from rheumatism who have found their condition unrelieved or actually growing worse while using other remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The tonic treatment with this medicine has Droved in thousands of cases that it builds up the blood to a point that en- ables it to cast out the rheumatic poisons' through the regular channels, the bowels, kidneys and the akin. When this is done rheumatism Is ban- ished, and as long as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from .attack- This is fully preyed by the case of Mr. Samuel Zinc's, Upper Blandford, N.S; who says:—"For a long time I was a great suffererfrom rheumatism which set- tled in my hip and down my leg to the knee. At times the pain was so great that I could. not walk. I tried lini- ments and medicines but without get- ting more than mere temporary relief. Then one day a friend called who said that he had been afflicted with this trouble which was banished by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and urged me to try them. I did as advised and after using a few boxes'there was no doubt ,they were helping me. Not only was the rheumatism disappearing, but my general health was improving. I con- tinued the pills until I had taken about a dozen; boxes, when every trace of the trouble had disappeared, and I have not felt a 'twinge of it since. I may add that my wife used these pills for a run.-d'own condition with equally. good results." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or bymail at' 50 cents a box from The Dr: Williams' Medi- cfne Co., Brockville, Ont. La Mort. Autumn dies a -singing, Shouts a bold "Don't care!"

He was preachiug in Liverpool to a congregation that packed the church to its utmost capacity. Suddenly In the midst of the sermon hestopped abruptly and said: "There is a man here Who twelve years ago was sent': to New Zealand. He was a druulseed, a gambler and awife-beater, He re- turned from New Zealand last evening and has come to this 'church to -night. I have to tela .him that hiswife has forgiven hint and that he s1ould re- turn to her as quickly as he can." Then the evangelist resumed his ser- mon. At the end of the servicee as he descended from the pulpit the vicar rushed up to him, and said excitedly: "How did you icnow about Chet man? It's true, 'doctor! And f packed him off to the colonies twelve years ago, and he is hexa to -night; It's true! How did you know about it? "All I can say," replied the preach- er, "Isthat during my sermon I saw on the wall opposite to me a vision of the Mersey and a man embaa•king- then a map of New Zealand -then the Mersey again , and a man coming ashore." "How did you know it was twelve years ago or that the man was here?" "I can't tell you, I knew: that is all!" Before that night war ended the man had given his heart to God and was speeding back to the wife he had so cruelly treated, that they might begin life again together. There is no doubt that there is: a heightened consciousness frequently realized 1n the pulpit by saintly preachers that is a sound testimony to divine inspira- tion. Keep Minard's Liniment handy. Killer Whales Battle Finback in Arctic ins Explorer Watches During one of Scott's Antarctic cruises to study the finback „whales, the rare appearance of which Yn the waters near the Falkland Islands threatened the existence or the island- ers, one of his assistants witnessed a stirring battle between a sixty -foot finback and a number of killer whales.
