Racial Origin—Irish, Source—Given Names, If your name is Cosgrave, and the name comes down to you from "the old sod," you may be a scion of either one or two of the Irish clans, for two entirely different Irish clan names have been Anglicized into the form Cosgrave. One of these, like the Hogan clan, was a branch of the more ancient O'Briens, being founded, in fact, by the grandfather of the chieftain from whom the Hogans took their sept or clan name, This chieftain, the grand - sire of "Ogan," was called "Cosgrach," The other clan, which bore the name of "O'Cosgrighe," had no connection at all with the O'Briens and the Ho- gans, but derived its name from its founder, a chieftain named "Cosgar." DURKIN Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. Here is a family name which you might be pardoned for taking as Eng- lish, for it has a truly English sound to it. Possibly it would not look so Eng- lish to you, however, if you saw it spelled ';0'h-Dobharcon." But you won't find the sounds so dif- ferent if you pronounce the Gaelic form of the name as it should be pro- nounced, with a silent "bh." This clan name, derived at some period in the Middle Ages from the name of the chieftain under whose leadership the clan formed, Is but the regular development from the given name of "Dubharchu. " The Durkins were a branch of the more ancient Macnamara clan. IS THERE A BABY IN YOUR HOME? Is there a baby or young children In your home? If there is you should not be without a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets. Childhood ailments come quickly and means should always be at hand to promptly fight them. Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal home remedy. They regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach; banish constipation and indi- gestion; break up colds and simple fevers—in fact tlfey relieve all the minor ills of little ones. Concerning them Mrs. Morse Cadotte, Makamik, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets are the best remedy in the world for little ones. My baby suffered terribly from indigestion and vomiting, but the Tablets soon set her right and now she . is in perfect health." The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. - B r The Eyes of the Blind. I have a friend, the sweetest friend That ever you could find, And, though he lights the way for me, They tell me he is blind. But, oh! I know my•friend can see Mauch more than I or you; We are the sightless: he is blessed With visions, ever new.. So quiet; so serene leis• face, His smile so quick, so bright— He sees beyond the things. we touch And needs no earthly light. His spirit bears him on, although He knows not night form day; The shining beauty of his soul • Lights. all the darkened way. • Our fleshly fes that .have not seen The glory yet to .come, Can never bellow- such as he When he shall reach 'his Home. The jeyo to us so new and strange, T,b;e radiance and the.song, • To hien wi1L'be but old-time things .That be h:'aa loved so long Soul blind and groping; for the peace That he—who sees—bas won, We know when we would guide his steps 'Tis he who leads us on.

The lanes of Glostershire are sweet With hawthorn bloom to -day; The larks are nesting in the wheat Where Severn winds her way, And ancient men are whetting scythes Ere conies the time of hay. Oh, Glostershire and Canada are many miles apart, But the old songs of Glostershire are singing in my heart. The hills of Glostersedre are white With ,sheep now it is Maly; Where gleamed the Legion's armour bright The Cotswold yearlings play, . And daisy -spangled is the sward Above the Roman way. 'Tween Glostershire and Canada vast waters rise and fall, But a cuckoo calls at sundown its old familiar call. Great ships come into Gloster town And safe at anchor lies And little boats with sails of brown; And seagulls wheel and cry Around the spires. of Glostershire When wind and wave are high. 0 Glostershire. in Canada thy children think of thee, And heart to heart is calling across the northern sea.

The colony stretches for a consider- .a.bie distance along the dockside, and there are several hundred alien in- habitants, To walk through the prin- cipal street is like visiting ,an Eastern city. There are Arabian butcher slops, lodging-hou,;es, and eating -houses, while most of the pedestrians are Arabs. Arabic aigne adorn many of the stops and housjes., while here and there a sign has been "drone into English" with comical results. Then there is one• notioe to the effect that Mr. Said Hassan'r. premises are a "licensed sea- men's Arab lodginghouse." Moat of the Arabs came to this coun- try as s11ani.en during the war, and since then many of them, unable to find berths, have found themselves stranded in various ports. -There are large numbers of them in Glasgow, Liverpool, and Cardiff. At South Shields the colony has its own ministers, and at marriages or funerals. the strange ceremonials' of the East are observed. In the case of funerals, the mourners execute a sol- emn "death dance'' in memory of the departed. Betrothals and births are signalized by rejoicings, which in some cases ex- tend over several days. The colony has been considerably depleted recently, as many of the men have succeeded in getting ships and returning borne. In some cases, how- ever, the Arabs have settled down with their wives and families, and have found various. ways of earning a liveli- hood, Strangest TO AVOID PAINS OF RHEUMATISM This Trouble is Located in the Blood, and Relief Comes Through Better Blood. Rheumatism comes with thin, im- pure blood, and can only be driven out of the system by enriching and puri- fying the blood. The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain. The most successful treatment is the one that quickly banishes this disagreeable symptom. Many rheu- matic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in rheumatic troubles is proven by the testimony of Mrs. A. Bryson, Arthur, Ont., who says:—"I was so used up with rheumatism in my shoulders and neck that I could not turn in bed with- out the help of my husband, and the pain at times was almost unbearable. I took doctors' medicine which did me little or no good. Then I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and have since been free from rheumatism. I can also recommend the pills to young mothers, as in my own case I found they are unexcelled.— I may also add that I recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to a neighbor who took fainting spells at the change of life, and who could not walk any distance. She took the pills for nearly three months and they made her a strong well woman." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicine 'or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Flames Can't Destroy Writing. Even the careful criminal, who des- troys, as he thinks, all traces of evi- dence against bins by burningdocu- ments that prove his guilt, is not safe from the long arm of the modern scientific detective; for documents charred in the fiercest fire can now be made to give up their secrets. A short time ago a document of vital importance was thrown by mis- take into the fire. Whien its lose was discovered it was nothing more than a blackened fragile thing containing not a single word that was decipner- able. An expert was called in, though the owner of the burnt paper had little hope that he could be of any use. Four weeks later the expert returned and handed the owner a clear photograph of the document, with every word as easy to read as on the day ithad been written. The expert knew that photographic 1 plates are acted upon by other things besides light. The ink of the original' writing contained chemicals, and even though they had been in the heart of the fire he felt that .some of their pot- ency must remain, He pieced the paper- between two ultra -sensitive plates and left it for a week. Then he looked to see if there wasany result: a few faint narks ap- peared ou the plates, but that was all. Undeterred, ha' next gave a three weeks' exposure,' at the end of which period` he was able to ,deliver the per- fect photograph.. , It is rather interesting to compare the price per pound of automobiles with the price per peund`of other light machinery.

Some little creatures have so short a "life That they .are orphans born but why should we Be prouder of a life that gives more time To think of death through. all eter- nity? Time bears us off, as lightly as the wind Lifts up the smoke and carries it away; And all we know is that a longer life Gives but more time to think of our decay. , We live till Beauty fails, and Passion dies, And sleep's our one desire in every breath; And in that strong desire our old love, Life, Gives place to that new love whose name is Death.. —W. H. Davies. Fish That Sit Down. Nature never produced a more re- markable creature than the Japanese goldfish:. Though they are called goIdfieh, their scales range in color from pink to bronze, blue, black, and orange, in shades such as human craftsmen have never succeeded 1i s copying. They have ! wonderful tails that remind one of bridal veils or fans, and they sit down on thea whenever they feel tired. Nature has provided them with a strange means of defence, Their eyes are telescopic. That is to say, the fish can manipulate them in such a way that they can see what enemy is chas- ing them, rear or flank. No other crea- ture has such a wide range of vision. The Japanese goldfish is of consider- able value; some of them selling for four or five pounds, and quite a large trade is done. They are imported in specially -built aquariums, heated and ventilated in such a way that the oc- cupants are not affected by changes of climate. The Source of Thorinaite. It is said that the mineral thorinaite, now largely used in the manufacture of the mantles for incandescent gas lamps, is at present not known to oc- cur elsewhere than in the island of I Ceylon. Its discovery was due to the operations' of the Ceylon Mineral Sur- vey. It is exported to Europe and America. Not Perfect. An argument between man and wife had been going on for some time, and at last she exclaimed: "I suppose you think I am a perfect fool?"
