Best of all in the ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY T'g Surnames and Their Origin WARREN: Variations—Warnett, War'eing, War- ing, Warison, Wasson, Fitzwarin, Fitzwarren, Warner. Racial Origin -Norman-French. , Source—A given name; also an occu- pation. Here Is a group of family .names, all of which come from either of two sources; but from which it is impos- sible to state in the case of Warren, except where the individual is fortun- ate enough to be able to trace back. the genealogy of his particular family to its origin. -,- Most of the family names in this group are the outgrowths of a given name which was quite widespread in medieval England, having been intro- duced by the Normans, but which has become obsolete to -day as a given name. There are, of course, to be found many men who bear Warren as their first names, but in virtually every case this is the result of the purely modern custom of using a fami- ly name as a given name, The old name, in its Norman form, was originally "Guerin" or "Guerin," but under the Saxon influence it rap- idly become softened into "Warin," in which form it fairly crowds the old records. Warnett comes from "Wari- not's-son," the "ot" being a mimiuutive ending. Wareing, Waring, Warison and Wasson all come from "Warin's- son," the "son" being dropped, for the most part, in the course of time. The "Fitz" variations are explained in the meaning of "fitz" as "son of." Warren, however, often comes from the same source as Warner, which is the medieval word "Warrener," "War-- ever or "Warner," from '"Waen," a game preserve. The warrener was the officer who had •charge of these for- est wilds and naturally came to be known as "Jacks le Warner," "Rich- ard de Waren," etc. Sons often fol- lowed the same calling as their fath- ers, and so such names in many cases lost their original meaning descriptive of occupation and became simply fami- ly "tags." O'LEARY.. Variations—Leary. Racial :.Origins -Irish. Source—A given name. O'Leary is a good old royal name. Even Shakespeare recognized it as such when he wrote his "King Lear." But the ancient Irish kings who bore this name, and from one of whom the modern family name is derived, did not spell it that way. The nearest we can come to the old spelling in us- ing the English alphabet is "Laeg- haire," The Irish pronunciation varies of course, in the different sections of Ireland, and there have also been changes in pronunciation due to the 'lapse of time, butyou can make a pretty good attempt if you say it "lay - airy," without emphasizing the"airy" too sharply; and if you can inject a faint "h" or guttural sound between the two sections, so much the better. The most famous Laeghaire of Irish history was the Ard-Righ, or High - King, who held his court at Tara, in Meath (whioh was a sort of "federal" province, bearing the same relation to all Ireland that the District of Co- lumbia does to the United States), and there received St. Patrick, about 432 A.D. At that first meeting the saint converted Laeghaire's daughters and half his court from paganism in open debate, and also won the king's friend- ship and help in the campaign which spread Christianity over the land like wildfire. But though he aided Chris- tianity, Leghaire himself never pro- fessed faith, and died a pagan. - Of course, the orthodox form of the family name is O'Leary, or Hui Lae- ghaire, the "0' " being a contraction of "Hy" of "Hui," meaning "descend- ant of.' But many families have in modern times dropped this prefix. KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER Winter is a dangerous season for the little ones. The days are change- able—one bright, the next one cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly, ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tab- lets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The new sales tax will not in - crease the price of Baby's Own Tab- lets, as the company pays the tax.

Marvellous artificial blooms that re- semble Nature's finest specimens in every respect, except scent, are now being made by expert glass-blowers. Every part of a flower or plant is faithfulay reproduced, frena the long, delicate stems and colored petals to the almost invisible pollen. The first thing which the maker of these; wonderful blooms does is to blow the petals from glass as thin and. fragile as tissue paper. The glass petals are then shaped and colored ex- e:ctiy like the natural ones. Some of the rarer plants cannot be easily reproduced, and often several experiments have to be carried oat with different colors before a really good imitation is obtained. These glass flowers are used exten- sively in museums, both to show de- tails of plant or flower fornaation and as backgrounds for displaying, speci- mens of birds aid insects. So far has this branch of scientific glass-blowing- been lass-blowingbeen developed that it is practically impossible to distinguish the artificial blossoms from the real.

You are so blue- and still and cold You are so young—you are so old, You chill nay blood and make it freeze With your unspoken myateries— You thrill my blood and make it burn When old desires to beauty turn. Yours is the iron hearted will, Yours, the purpose to fulfill; You are the hidden womb of earth Where seeds lie• cormant until birth— The paradox of life and death Within a shroud of icy breath. Yours is the secret buried deep Under the still, cold hand of sleep. —Sally Bruce Kinsolving. The Duchess "Lizzie." A few months ago when the Duke of York married, Lady Elizabeth Bowes - Lyon all the English writers spoke of the Scotch bride as Lady "Betty." Ape parently that was the thing to do. But what the new.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and the treatment should be the same as for other forms of neuralgia, Sciatica is 'stubborn in resisting treat- ment and the patient frequently suf- fers for years. So many cases of sciatica have been helped by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified in giv- ing this treatment a thorough trial. Dr. Williams. Pink Pills do not simply relieve pain—they correct diseases caused by weak, watery blood. Thus they are beneficial in the treatment of even the most severe disorders. Their value in cases of this kind is shown by the experience of Miss Lizzie Free- man, Nogies Creek, Ont., who •says:— "I was confined to bed for seven weeks with sciatica. What I suffered is almost impossible to realize. The doctor did all he could for me, and yet I was not getting any better, and he told me the trouble was likely to leave me crippled. .A. neighbor who was in to see me, strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I de- cided to do so and after taking them for a while found they were helping me, I continued taking the pills until I had taken nine boxes, when I was able to walk as well as ever, and felt that I was fully restored. In view of what these pills have done for me I strongly recommend them to all suf- ferers." If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor, watery blood or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills now and note how your strength and health will improve. The new sales tax will not increase the price of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, as the company pays the tax. You can stlil obtain the pills through any medicine dealer at 50 cents a box, or by mail, post paid, at this price, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Buy An Island. The Canadian Government invites people who are in search of a summer home to buy an island in Georgian Bay. There are some thirty thousand islands along the shores of that part of Lake Huron, and the islands vary in size from tiny eyots to islands many acres in extent. They are rocky and bear no great amount of vegetation, but many are ideal for summer camps. The price of an unoccupied island is twenty-five dollars plus ten dollars an acre. • It is always safe to send Dominion Express Money Orders.

And then, for me, from many a vanish- ed year, Fair pictures of a dreaming farm came near. Behold another world with its new face! The countryside In city held strange sway (Or, so to me it was) : for Time and Space Within a cirque of artful Magic lay. The soul withdrew to some lost, early mood, Rapt far away in boundless quietude. But now, The City, struggling as from swoon, Turned her uneasily—stretched out an arm; And helpless lifted up her outcry, soon— But softened all within the dim snow charm! With this, the horn of some stalled, venturous car— The chime of church clock—all from very far. At last the plough a clean cut furrow heaves— A marble way through new created land! Outflutter hungry sparrows from the eaves; Outflutter, too, the children, sleds in hand, Their tinkling laughter, in the magic morn, Seems from some elfin underworld up - borne. —Edith M. Thomas. A Ready Answer. Everyone is malicious enough to en- joy the discomfiture of a cross-exam- ining lawyer by the witness he is bad- gering. The American Legion Week- ly reports such a case. "Tell the court exactly where you were on the twentieth day of said month at five -thirty in the afternoon," sharply demanded the lawyer of an op- posing witness. "I was on the corner of Second and Main streets, asking a man a ques- tion," replied the witness. - "Ah -ha! But how do you know it was exactly five -thirty?" "Ah -ha yourself!" said the witness, "The question I was asking him was what time it was." Ask for Minard's and take no other.
