Source—A locality. Here is a family name likely to ptiz- sl•e you or deceive you as to its origin. It is almost' impossible to get away from the idea that in some way it is conected with the word "woolly." It has nothing to do with wool, how- ever, Nor dses it beong to that cities of family which have develcped from phrases descriptive of personality in any way. It is a development from a snrrnarn•e which was descriptive of the locality, or localities, in which its erg- inal bearers lived, or with which they were connected in .some way. And you don't recognize its origin readily, because it is a compound of two Anglo-Saxon words, one of which long ago disappeared and one which is Yirtuo.]ly cbsolete to -day. "Wold" was a word used by the An- �..� g10 -Saxons to designate something will or uncivilized, a sort of wiltler- news. You'll get the connection by 'changing the "o" to an "1" in the word. And "ley" in its broadest sense meant "land" or ground,' A "woid ley„' therefore, was a wild or uncultivated piece of ground, or hillside, without the normal forest growth. memegess 1 TEE tMG TROUBLES DIAMOND Variations—Dimond, Dimwit, Clamant. Racial Origin—Dutch and French. Source—A given name. Here is a famil'Y name for the origin of which several explanations• have been advanesd. Oft the face of it you might suppose that it was 'a develop. ment in some way from our word m- edicating the precious stone. It is not impossible, of course, that in an individual case, here and there, the nein° diel originate that way. But So far as the available records go, this is not considered probable. It may be that in some instances the family name was termed from an An- glo-Saxon given name. But there is nothing even to indicates this•. Ap- parently it has come from a given name which, among the Dutch, was at first "Diemen,” and then "Moment"; and among the French, "Dimon." It was also found among the Flemish as "Deman," and the French call it "De- mandt." All of these linguistic varia- tions are traceable as cleseendants of the old German "Diomund," a given name indicating that its bearer was devoted to the protection of his fol- lowers. In semen instances the family name may have been formed before, and in others after it was brought into Eng- lish. nolish. Baby's teething time is a time of worry and anxiety to most mothers. The little ones become cross; peevish; their little stomach becomes deranged and constipation and colic sets M. To make the teething period easy on baby the stomach and bowels must be kept sweet and regular. This can be done by the use of Baby's Own Tablets— ` the ideal laxative for little ones. The Tablets are a sure relief for all the minor ailments of childhood such as constipation, colic, indigestion, colds and simple fevers. They always do .good --never harm. The Tablets are veld by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The First Banks. Few things play a more important part hi our lives to -day than the sys- tem of banking. The word bank originally meant a tradesman's stall, and the first bank in anything like the modern sense existed about 2,700 years ago. We learn about this bank from clay tab- lets discovered near Babylon. Ap- parently the first firm of bankers was deem that ot Egibi and Son, who flourished in Babylon about 600 or 700 B.C. The early Chinese were in the habit of issuing paper money—indeed, they got into difficulties by issuing too much, There was a bank in China about A.D. 1,000. But banking as we understand it to- day did not begin until the twelfth cen- tury, when the Bank' of Venice was established. This was followed by the Bank of Barcelona, in Spain, and the Bank of ,Stockholm, in Sweden. The latter was the first bank in Europe to !nue paper money. This was in 1668. Other early banks were the Bank of St, George, at Genoa, the Bank of Ham- burg, and the Bank of Amsterdam. WHERE THE BEST TEA GROWS. The tea plant flourishes best on the well drained side of a mountain in a country where there is plenty of. mois- ture and a warm sun. Certain parts of Ceylon, India and Java are ideal 'Por the growing of delicious tea, hence from these countries come the finest varieties. "SALADA" is a blend of the choicest qualities grown, in these, the three most famous tea -growing coun- tries in the world. • Roasting a Safe. There must be no doubt about a safe. Therefore a safe that is being tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories has to undergo some pretty severe usage. If it does not weaken, says :4In Harry Chase Brearley in a Symbol of Safety, it wins a label of utter trustworthi- ness. First the safe is submitted to the "explosion test." Inside are maga- zines and loose papers• and a recording thermometer. .A photograph is taken of them. Then the doors are closed, and the safe is enveloped in flames. In less than three minutes the tem- perature exceeds a thousands degrees; and in fifteen minutes it has reached seventeen hundred degrees. Those are extrema conflagration conditions. For the second test the safe is placed in a furnace that consists of a box of thick masonry and that is heat- ed with four rows of blast burners. Af- ter twenty minutes an observer look- ing through a peep hole at the back of the furnace can see the large sheet of steel that forms the back of the safe beginning to show signs of ristortion. That is only natural. Thirty minutes; tiny spurts of flame are issuing front joints in the safe from the generation of gasee within the insulation. It is indicative of good design that they can escape without doing damage. Forty minutes ,and the steel knob of the combination lock is brilliant red; one hour, and the entire surface of the safe is brilliant red. If the safe has been submitted for the highest classi- fication R. is subjected to an inferno of ever-increasing intensity for three hours longer; but at the end of the four hours the heat inside as indicated by a recording instrument connected with an external switchboard must not be sufficient to injure the most delicate papers on the shelves. The "drop teat" is even more spec- tacular. Toward the end of ars hour's heating, which the safe must undergo for this test, eight men fn overalls stand by at their -stations like trained gun crews. Blocks and tackles are all set to open the wall door of the fur- nace and to roll out the bottom truck on which the red-hot safe rests. The engineer at the instruments takes a last reading of temperatures, jots them down and puts his mouth to the speak- ing tube. "Ready!" he calls. Two asbestos -gloved mars discon- nect the recording instruments and withdraw them'White hot from the fur race wall holes. "Ten seconds!" shouttr an engineer-. "Five ."

But there. is at least oneadvantage which come* from baldness, For example, 'hove you ever met' a bald man who was . consumptive? It has been proved that bald men are peculiarly immune from this disease. One doottr has said that out of five thousand consumptive patients not a single one was bald, Baldness le sornetimee caused by bad ; dieting; but more frequently by letting the cold and damp penetrate to the roots of the hair. .A, man will emerge from a barber's shop with his hair wet even on the .coldest day. Excessive exercise is liable to bring on baldness. Athletes become over- heated, and, when they cool off, their scalp becomes chilled. HOME TREATMENT SAFE AND EFFICIENT Ailing People Made Strong by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills do one thing, and do it well. They build up the bleed, increasing the number of red corpuscles. As this is done the blood becomes a richer red and is able to carry more oxygen, the great sup- porter of human life. As the blood im- proves in quality the tissues of the body are better nourished and the functions of the body are better per- formed. This is the reason Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills have been so suc- cessful in the treatment of diseases due to poor, thin blood, and it Is also the reason why they are so success s1u1 in building up strength after fevers and acute diseases, Among those who have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with great advantage is Mrs. Helena B. Taylor, Hanover, Ont., who mays: "Not long ago I was critically i11. The trouble started with anaemia and a run-down system, and ended with pleurisy. I was confined to my bed for three months and three -doctors were in attendance at different times. My life was daspairea of, and I was practically living on doctors' medicine, because I could not eat. My friends did not expect me to recover. During MY girlhood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had brought me through a severe at- tack of anaemia, and my mother urged that I should try them again. The doctor could not understand why we wanted to try these pills, but we de- cided to do so. After taking six boxes a decided change was taking place. I was actually getting hungry and anxi- ous to live. After using twelve boxes a miracle was worked. I could walk and felt my strength coming back, and people on all sides were asking what was helping me, and we were not slow. in telling them it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. With my health fully re- stored through the use of these pills I am a striking example of what this wonderful medicine can do, and now I never see a pale or sickly -looking girl or woman that I do not feel>like going up to her and asking why she does not take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Yes, That's What He Meant.

His Last Chance. A certain canny Scotsman had car- ried arried on a courtship of long duration without definitely committing himself.

A recent bulletin deeeribes sections= of the Chiriese, Canadian and. Indian pottery coile•etions, as well as recent additions to outer groups. A Lohan or Apostle of Buddha, the gift of Mrs. H. D. Warren, amply illus- trated and deaoribed in the pamphlet, attracte considerable Interest. It is a Chinese pottery figure of the Tang dynasty, measuring 41 inches in height. The statue, which is delicately model- led in white clay, amid covered with green, yellow and white lead glazes, is supposed to be one of sixteen Lohan. or disciples of Buddha thought to have been taken from a remote mountain. sanctuary in Chihli some years ago. The Loben,, represented as a young man, was a human being who had, reached the end of the eight -fold path and had attained perrfeetion and en- lightenment. Other stance of the Lohan group are to be found in the British Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, where there are two; the University Museum in Philadelphia, and the IVlatsukata Collection in Ja- pan, Of no small appeal to Canadians both from the patriotic and artistic point of view is. the description of the Museums two t;*taee of Canadian -made pottery, Dhisi collection is the work of J. S. Neale of the Dominion Depart- ment of Mines, Miss Adeline Wads- worth and the pupils of Miss Groocock at the Central Teehnie al School, To- ronto. The clays are taken from Mus - to a, and various other parts of the Dominion from coast to coast. From. the ancient New World has ccme a distinctive group in the pot- tery section, namely Indian pottery from the Cases. Grandes region of northern Chihuahua, Mexico. This was originally part of a collection which was divided between the Museum at Santa Fe, New Mexico; the Archaeo- Iogical Society of Washington, by which it wrae deposited in the Nwttanal Museum; and the Royal Ontario Museum, thus giving these three in- stitutions remarkably complete seriee of this elms of early pottery. The pieces, of which numerous illustra- tions are given, are done in plain, black, red and polyeilrome. The un- usually thin walls of the vases bear witness to the skill •of the potter and. the fine quality at the clay used, while the design and coloring excites ad- miration. This pottery is known to have been made before Columbus even dreamed of a New World, The impression of a preponderance of art over utility is given by a beauti- fully executed wheel -lock petronel, a recent eddition to the Arrns and Arrner oolleetion.

Despite the fact that the stock of the gun is. delicately inlaid with stone and the butt terminates in a pear-shaped formation much like a spearsh'ead in appearance, the weapon was apparently deadly enough for the age. The German Resters. gained no a niall.reputation for themselves due to their skill with this weapon which had the advantage over the more ancient match -look gun that it could be car - Beware of Imitations!
