Up, to quite recently it was accepted that tourist traffic to Canada was es- sentially from She United States. In 1925 it became evident that there is a distinct awakening -of inerest in the British Isles in Canada as a country for touring and holiday objective. This may, in part., be attributed to the Influence of Canada's participation at the . British, Empire Exhibition, At the sametime, an analysis of the traf- fic at any popular point reveals num- bers of vis'itors from other countries. Such an one conducted at Grand Pre .memorial park' in Nova Scotia, for in- stance, discloses visitors from all pro- vinces of Canada and nearly every State of the Union, and in addition from England, Ireland, Scotland, ilrl- tfait 'West Indies, Nowfoundland, ,Bermuda, China, Japan, Hawaii, -South Africa, France, Panama, New _ Zealand, • Switzerland and India, Canada's scenery and holiday possl- 'bilities are proving as popular and exerting as wide an appeal as her Wheat and other products.

' Can -You Judge Distances? If you devote your -Saturdays 'to geiflng, shooting, or' taking photo graphs, you have, in all probability, met the problemof judging distances,. Bear in mind these few simple rules, and your difficulty ,will` be lessened: With the naked eye; if you have aver- age sight, you can see the whites -'of peoples eyes at thirty yards;. at eighty yards you can just see their eyes. s When all parte of their body are dis- tinguishable, they are 100 yards away; when the outlines of their faces are just ' isible, the distance is 200 yards; and when a face appears' as a separ- ate dot, you should be 400 yardsetway. Six hundred yards away a group of people can be.. distinguished singly; but at a further.dfatanee than this no detail of the human form .can be deter- mined. Yet at "1,200 yards. you should be able to tell a roan on horseback from a man on foot; at 2,000 yards' he is simply a dot en the 'landscape, Tlie majority of people, too, are un- able to determine the wind's velocity. When the smoke from a chimney moves in'a straight, vertical *column, it:.nieans. that a one to two -miles -an - hour breeze is bio Bing. A three -miles an -hour wind will . just stir' the leaves on the trees. Twenty-five nines an hour will away the trunks; at forty, the ma -branch- es will break; and it takes a mile -a - minute gale to snap the trunks, of big trees. The Son of a Fisherman.

She. said, to, in a moment of anger, that she did not know how. Millie could so easily.. contemplate leaving her after all she'd done for her:' Poor Mislie! Poor Katharine! It was a stormy scene. But Katharine stood to her guns, t She remembered- suddenly, with` a e shade of annoyance, that it was only through' herself that Millie had known John. He was the brother of someone she had known in the old days. John was art orphan, too. It had p been that partly, perhaps, which had it drawn him to Millie.

Katharine was not surprised to see letter from Jahn on her plate on th morning of November llth. He had already made many appeals to:her. It was a short note, but something —another' •letter—fell from the envel- ope as she read: • "Dear Katharine, —I was turning out last night and came across •the en closed.

One of the strongest points in favor of any medicine for children is that it is so agreeable that the mother does not have to • force it down' the little one's throat. , ' Baby's Own Tablets have no drng taste, may be crushed to.• a powder if desired, and, babies like them.' They • are perfectly safe for they contain no f opiate or narcotic. They sweeten the el stomach and remove the cause 'of fretfulness. - Mrs. Arthur Charlebois, Pawtucket, Y R.I., says: "I have found Baby's Own ut Tablets to be a gentle laxative and a I safe remedy for stows disorders in ' ' children. Our little Boy had been given harsh cathartics but these tab- lets worked more effectively without the' severe griping. I can recommend them to all mothers of little children." Baby's Own^^'Tabiets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. She turned to look, at the letter. It must have been nearly ten years old. It was written In the round, girlish writing which had been hers long ago.' The sight of it made her heart grow cold. She opened it with tentative fingers, and read, • The Wisdom of Youth. It would be cruel to give that letter sufficehere in its entirety -let it suffice to say that there we're' many crosses at the end of it and it was signed "Kitty," Yetonesentence jumped out at her: 'Yee; Tye thought hard Jimmy, as I promised you, and we will be married d during your next leave I know we are young, but let its take what the gods give while we may—" Katharine sat for a long time think - ng. She ,had forgotten that she had ver been foolish enough to scribble kisses at the end of a letter. And she had often wondered whether he had received her letter. It had not been returned unopened with some of the others. She SAW now from the ostmark that•he must have received the: day before -he died. Ah, well, for them it had been' too ate!

Racial Origin—English, French and German. ` Source—A locality: This group of family names, repre- sentative of development in three dif. ferent languages, belongs to that clas- sification of surnames which at ,first were"indi�cative of the place of resi- dence .of the individual, or the locality with which he was connected in the minds of those with whom he came in contact, and who naturally distinguish- ed him from other individuals of the same given name by reference to .this. In England• there was- the word "hall," the same that we now use in the sense of "public hall," or "great hall," In French there was the_word 'saile," with approximately the same meaning, but which since has come to o equivalent to "room" with, them, .nd which was introduced, into English bY the Normans to come down to us as 'saloon:''' In.

POLLOCK Variations:= -Pollock, Poole, Pool, Racial Origin—Scottishanti English, Source --A locality. Two testas of this family name while Scottish and traceable in the last analysis to• a, Gaelic source, aro rot necessarily to be numbered in the c fish: forms, Poole and Pool, are purely place names, with the same meaning, except that in the case of the Scottish forms the origin Iles mostly in an ac- tual place name, while in, the English forms it represents merely the descrip- tion of a locality. - There is a parish in Renfrewshire, Scotland, named Pollock, and this name is supposed to come from the Gaelid word "poliog," with the mean-. ing ora "little pool" or "pond." It. is a. safe' assumption that the earliest hearers of this family nasrie for the most part came from that parish. In" FJngland any man living near a pool or pond would be likely to have. the reference of it attached to his name. Thus, a man named John, who everybody knew lived near such a Mace, would be distinguished from other Johns by the name "John atte Pool," the "atte" being simply a con- traction of "at the." At a later period this "atte" was contracted "to "a'." Thus the name wuold become "a'Pool," and' finally just "Pool." Ghosts t . This is a story of a diver who saw two ghosts.

Fifty years have I passed, and the tiny hospital has' grown into one; of the greatest insti- tutions of Its kind in the whole world. The people of this province demand- ed this service—and they have mad it possible by their Chriatmas Tim gifts. They are rewarded by th knowledge that thousands of Ontar children will grow up into manhood womanhood blessing the "little bia cots" wherein they were restored an strengthened to play a full part in th battle of life. • To win back ;health for six thousan boys and girls was the measure of th Hospital's ward -service alone th year.

On the occasion of is fiftieth Christmas an appeal . is ade to the public for the funds which will allow' the Hospital for Sick Child - n to enter` upon its second half-cen- ry of service with its courage re- ewed by a credit balance in the bank.
