Surnames and Their Or'
LEACHE
Variations—Leeehe, Leeaiiman, Leach,
Ilk Barbour.
Racial Origin—Eng I ish.
Source -An occupation,
Had the words "doctor" or "physi-
cian" been in use about the eleventh
twelfth and thirteenth . centuries ,in
England, as they areto-day, such
family names as Leache, Leeche. and
Leachman would not exist. Instead
•
we would have such names as John. C.
Doctor, or James F. Physician, or Har-
'i'Ison G. Chirurgeon,
But it was not until , the tune of
Queen Elizabeth that : the words
"phisitiou and "chirurgien" (sur-
geon) came into general use, and not
until still later that the physician was
'called "dootor. '
At the period When family names
;were being for;, ; r there were no
!physicians except the barbers, and the
,principal method of treating nearly all
diseases was to bleed the patient with.
a leech, a little blood -sucking worm.
The barber was at once the physician
And the "tonsorial artist," He was as
frequently known by the medical
branch of his trade as the other, as
lovas called the "leachman" as afters
as the "barbour." In the course of
Itime the term "leachman was often
:shortened into "leeohe" or "leaches'
! A large factor in settling these old
trade names into family names was
•the fact that children so often follow-
ed the same occupations as their par -
rats, though in many cases the des-
.
optive name would stick to a son
len when he did not follow his
zither's calling, simply through the
, eer necessity of his having more
than one name at a time when popu-
lations were growing so fast that each
'7
mancould aot have a distinctive given
name.
KELLY,
Variations—O'kelly,wl eely.
Racial origin—Irish:'
Source—A given name.
The author of the lyrics of that once
popular ditty' "Kelly from the Emerald
Isle" never announced publicly, wheth-
er he chose that name tar the hero of
his ballad because it fitted the rythm,
or from a mors subtle motive,
As a matter of fact, the name was
singularly. appropriate 'to. the Spirit of
this• humorous: jingle of"adventui:e, be-
cause the given name from which the
Kelly group of family names is derived
means . nothing more or less than
"strife."
These family nams, however, are
very ancient and honorable. ones, com-
ing in the majority of eases from the
country about Wicklow„in Ireland.
But with diem again we have anoth-
er example of the wide difference be-
tween the ancient and modern spell-
ing, with a difference in pronunciation
which is much' less marked. The
given name • from which leelly, O'Keliy
are derived is "Ceallach,” which cer-
tainly does not look like'"Kelly," but
there is really little difference in the
pronunciation of the two. A alight
broadening of the final "y," with the
restoration of the "ch," which is best
described as a softened or aspirated
"k" sound (somewhat similar, but not
quite, to the German "th.") completes
the transformation back to the ancient
pronunciation. The Celtic "c" is al-
ways a "k" sound. There are modifi-
cations, of course, but never to' our
modern "s" sound. ICeely is an An-
glicized version of the name.

A Bit Misleading.
When Mary ,laving married William
Smythe and dwas able to have calling;
cards with "Mrs. William Symthe" en-
graved upon them, she felt that life
had no higher pride in store for her.
Sli.e preserved this attitude through
all the years of her married life.
When Mr. Smythe died she was In-
consolable, and even after several
yearn. of widowhood she .hotly resent-
ed any' indication that her friends had
forgotten her lamented William for a
moment, '
"It makes" me so angry," she said to
one whom she suspected of careless -
nese .in the matter, "to •be spoken of
or thought of as 'Mr , Mary'
Smythe,' It is an insult to William's
memory."
"Oh, I''m sure it's newer meant for
that,(" said the friend, hastily. "Only.
it's quite customary among Certain
people, you,knuw, for a widow to take
her Christian name—have letters ad-
dressed to her in that way—and so
on."
"It will never be with me," said the'.
widow, indignantly. "I prefer always
tto be known as 'the late Mrs. William
Smythe.'
To Save Time.
Pat was grumbling because he had
no money to speud while en his sum-
mer holidays:
"I don't know what to do7 he
groused to his friend Jack.
"Now, Pat," he said, "you ought to
take your wages to the post -office and
put five or six shillings in every week.
By the time your holidays are due you
will have a comfortable Sum in hand."
"Right!" replied Pat. "I'll try it. "
Some weeks later Jack met him and
asked hium h•orr much he had saved up
in the postofiice-
"I have no idea," said Pat,
"No idea! Haven't you got a book
rime mine?"
"No; I never troubled about a book.
I just dropped my money in the letter
box as I was passdng.'.'.
The Climax.
Softie, little girls wore boasting of
their respective families. The minis-
ter's little daughter said, "Every pack-
age thatcomes tor my papais marked.
19.D.'. „
"And, every e y p acka
e that comes for

the doctor's daughter.

IN THE SHADOW

When the shadow of poor health

Nature's Temperature
Control.
You put water into the radiator of
your automobile or tractor to keep the
motor from overheating and you put a
bucket or two 'of water into your cei-
lar to keep the potatoes from freezing.
Aside from the facts that water is
made from two gases, hydrogen -and
oxygen, and that it is used to put out
fire even though it is composed of one
very inflammable gas and another that
permits the fire to burn, water has
some remarkable properties.' In the
first place, it takes more heat to raise
a given quantity of water one degree
in temperature than it does any other
substance that -we know of, or, to put
the reverse, it takes more cold. or nega-
tive heat to lower water one degree
than it does any other substance. If
the biasksmith should drop one pound
of iron at a temperature of 212 degrees
Fahrenheit into one pound of water at
32 degrees Fahrenheit, the tempera-
ture of the water would beraised but
18 degrees while the temperature of
the iron was lowered 162 degrees!
It takes about five and a third times
as much heat to convert a given quan-
tity of water already at •the, boiling
point into steam as it does to heat the
water all the way from the freezing
point to the boiling point—that is, if
we had one pail of water already at
the boiling point, 212 degrees Fahren-
heit, it would take as much heat to
convert it into steam as it would to
heat five and a third buckets of water
pll the wayfrom the freezing, 32 de-
grees Fahrenheit, to the boiling point!
Thus the instructions for small oars
say not to worry if the water in the
radiator boils a bit.
The temperature of ice is normally
32 degrees Fahrenheit and the tem-
perature of water just before it begins
to form into ice is the same. But it
takes as much negative heat to freeze
a bucket of water: as it does to bring
that bucket of water from 176 degrees
Fahrenheit all the way down to the
freezing point. No wonder weput a
tub of water into the cellar along with
the potatoes.' -
Just think for a moment, now, that
three-quarters of the earth's surface is
covered with water and that plants
and animals are composed largely of.
water. Surely nature has made good
use of a marvelous temperature con-
trol.
Mum's the Word.
The teacher had been giving the
class a lesson in history. The subject
upon which she had hit was that of
King Alfred and, at the end of the les-
son, she directed the class to write an
essay incorporating what she had told
them. She impressed upon them the
fact' that she did not want them on
any account to mention the episode of
the cokes as it had no bearing on his-
torical events, and its authenticity
was very doubtful.
Twenty small heads, were bent in
thought for half an hour and then the
essays were handed in.
Tommy's effart, though not brilliant,
was certainly original:
"Alfred was King of England. He,
was a very good king and earned the
title of 'Great; One evening he visit-
ed a lady friend, but the less said
about that the better."

The Unnoticed Spring.
On Louis Anderson's farm there was
a fifteen+foot well that had never con -
tattled more than two feet of water at
the most, and that even during a short
drought was often dry. Hoping to in-
crease the supply or water Anderson
at last decided' to clean out the accu-
mulated silt at the bottom. With the
help of his twelve -year-old son he
pumped the well dry and removed six
inches or so of the mud.
The bottom five feet of the hole had
been blasted out of soft, disintegrating
shale. While scraping the rocky floor
.Anderson noticed a dark irregular spot
three 'or tour inches in diameter.
Watching it closely, he saw a little
water seeping up through it. With a
crowbar he began to chip away at the:
spot, and in a few minuteswater was
coming through' at a steadily increas-
ing rate,
Anderson had penetrated perhaps
three inches into the porous material
when his bar suddenly broke through
and dropped about two feet. Simul-
taneously au ice-cold column of water
spurted up almost into his face. He
had uncovered a deep, strong and pure.
spring, the presence of which the form-
er owner of the farm had never sus-
pected when he dug tho well; with a
little more digging he would surely
have found it. By sundown. Ander-
son's well 'was half full of excellent
water.
How many people whom we pass on
the street seem dull and unimpaselon-
ed, incapable of great thoughts or of
fine deeds! And yet, who can tell
what spring of strong, pure feeling
may not lie deep beneath an unpro-
mising and often unlovely human ex-
terior?
xterior? A little probing into the hearts
and minds of ordinary-Iooking and
even cold -appearing people will often
bring us great rewards. The sympathy
and understanding of an intimate talk
soon penetrates to the depths of, their
better natures, A little encourage-
ment of their kindlier impulses and
finer aspirations may release a great
fresh flow°of good for the world.
Both Were Old Fashioned.
Aix old physician of the last genera-
tion was noted for his brusque manner
and old fashioned methods, says the
Edinburg Scotsman. Onone occasion
a woman called him in to treat her
baby, who was slightly ailing. The
doctor prescribed castor oil.
"But, doctor," protested the young
mother, "castor oil Is such an old fas-
hioned remedy."
"Madame," replied the doctor,
"babies are old fashioned things."
