An aged African Negro, who as a young boy was rescued from a Portu- guese slave -trading party, by David Livingstone, has been discovered in the little village of Chisiehurst, in Kent., }Ie is known as Arab Makep- po, he is not certain of his age. He only nows that it was very many years ago and that he was a very small black boy when the party which had raided his native village, and to which ho was sold by an older brother, was attacked by red -coated British soldiers attached to the Livingstone party and he and his fellow slaves, both men and women, were rescued. The captured blacks were brought before Livingstone and the great ex- plorer took a fancy to the small Arab Makeppo and kept him for his "boy." ,The English party kept most of the men of the party with them, sending the women back to their native vil- lages and then after learning the na- tive language sent them throughout the country to announce to the native ibes that the Englishmen were eeds of the Africans and were bring- ineeood-will with them. Thus was the way prepared for unmolested explora- tion in the farthest depths of the then little known continent. Worships Memory of Explorer. Makeppo remained in the Living- stone party as the body -servant to its leader until the great adventurer died, and was then sent to England to school. Shortly after his arrival here he` was christened George Watto by the English family which engaged him w as a cook. IIe is a devout Christian and looks forward to again joining his famous "Governor" when he dies. He remembers well the grin proces- sion of himself •and his native rela- tions and friends as captives of the Portuguese. He says that the men were tied two by two to wooden col- lars, which they wore even in their sleep; the women were chained at wrists and ankles, the -girls roped like horses while the little ones, himself long them, were allowed to run free, were kept in the centre of the Vo were frightened all the same," said, "when the Redcoats began, to f ire on our captors"." ' He worships .the memory of the teat explorer who was his benefactor, Mid bays ttiat''when,''as 'a smell boy; his lege would get tired, .Livingstone! would carryhim on his back until he was rested, ' Makeppo has been gardener in the same family in Kent for more than thirty years. In spite of the many years he has lived in England he wears four coats in winter weather. Death Curse Put on Cattle by Angry Irish Fairies. Every now and then a,story of some- thing other than mutinies and upris- ings comes from that "most distress- ful country" of Ireland. The latest concerns• the man who crossed the fairies. In a reoent prosecution before a local peace commissioner quite a lot of fairy lore came up because a certain farm building had been built on a "pass." It seems the little folk always travel in a direct line and resent any construction placed across their path. When they find themseves held up by a house or farm then woe betide the person living there. Near the village of Maam Cross, some miles • east of Clifden, a returned Trish -American not long ago bought a large farm, and an there was neither cowhouse nor stable began to erect these things, despite warnings of the neighbors. When the buildings were roofed and cattle installed therein the animals refused to eat, pined away and died. Not until three-fourths of his stock was killed (struck by "elf stones," said the peasantry), was he .convinced and he removed the build- ings to another place. After that his luck changed and he lost no more cat- tle. PAINFUL SCIATICA AND NEURALGIA Caused by Starved Nerves Due to Weak, Watery Blood. People think of neuralgia as a pain in the head or face, but neuralgia may affect any nerve of the body. Differ- ent names are given to it when it af- fects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatica nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature 02 the disease is the same, and the remedy to be effective, must be the same. The pain, whether it takes the form of sciatica or whether it af- fects the face and head, is caused by starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reason no longer does so and the excruciating pain you feel is the cry of the starved nerves for food. The reason why the blood fails to properly nourish the nerves is us- ually because the blood itself is weak and thin. When you buildup the impoverished blod with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, you are attacking sciatica, neuralgia and kindred diseases at the root. As proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind we•.give the state- ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Port Elgin, Ont., who says:—"Some years ago I was attacked with sciatica in my leg and hip. The pain was excruciating and finally I was forced to go to bed. Apparently all the doctor could do was to give me drugs to dull the pain, as otherwise I found no relief. I had been in bed with the •trouble for eight weeks when a lady who came to see me said that she had had a similar at- tack,and had only found relief through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I decided at once to try this medicine, and before I had taken more than three boxes I found relief. I continued the use of the pills and under the treat- ment the pain left me. I was able to alk again, and have not since had the least return of the trouble. I feel that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have'' been of such great benefit to me that I strongly urge similar sufferers to give them a fair trial."'

Source -An office or title. It le a surprising thing how many family names of ea -day have conic down to us • from words denoting cede- pation or titles of office which long since have become obsolete. Few people in this country bearing the name would, have any idea of what a "hayward" or a "beyward" was in England of the twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth centuries, nor of the nature of his duties. Even the explanation that themeek- val word. "hay" meant "hedge," and is not our modern word "hay," would hardly serve to give you the right clue. The "hedge warden" was not the keeper of hedges in the sense that he was a gardener. His duties consisted in service toward the villagers, the farmers of the day. Fences and walls were little used in those days to mark the divisions, of land. For this purpose hedges, either the real thing or mere indications of them, were used. Naturally, cattle had a tendency to stray from one man's land to another: It was the "hayward's" duty to prevent this. Or- iginally his duties were limited to this. He was a servitor of the entire com- ni unity rather than the employee of a single person. But in the course of time his authority and his duties were extended until he became a sort of general trespass officer, and an official. of considerable importance in each vil- lage or community. "Eayward" Is not the regular source ofthe family name of Ilow'ard, though sometimes the latter is simply a cor- rupted spelling of the termer, DANIELS. Variations—Daniel, Dann, Tancock. °!>;ac la I Orig i n—Angio-Saxon. Source—A Biblical given name. Daniels is another or t12oste family names which comes down to us from the days of the old Anglo-Saxont;, though,. like other family names, it did not become such until a period after the Anglo-Saxons and Norman-French had become fused into the English race of medieval and modern times. The final s on Daniels indicates that it has been shortened from Danielson. The variation Tancock is the result of a misspelling that crept into the name at some period, either before or after it became a family name, and the habit o the Anglo-Saxons of short- ening names to one syllable and then adding a diminutive ending. One of these endings was "cook" or "cock," meaning "little." Tancock, then, trans- lated literally into modern speech, means"little Dan," or, if we should use the modern diminutive, "Danny," 1t is impossible to state at just what period ."Daniel's son" ceased to be merely descriptive of an individual and was adopted through several gen- erations, thus becoming a family name. A general development or custom took place along this line throughout north- ern Europe from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, The frequency with. which Daniel appears as a given name in tate old days indicates many unrelated families adopted it • simul- taneously. • Former Playmate of Czar's Children Now Saleswoman. Little colonies of Russian aristo crats, penniless refugees, are forming in Canadian cities. Honors, wealth, titles have all been swept away by eight years of revolution. These exiles are content to begin life in a new home just as other im migrants would. Positions as domes- tics, as saleswomen or as ordinary la- borers aro accepted. As a rule, aristo- cratic arrivals are absolutely without friends or any one to whom they can appeal for assistance. Previous ar- rivals from Russia, drawn from the proletariat, are generally hostile. If you enter a leading jewelry store in Toronto you may be waited on by a tall young woman in a blue sweater coat with wavy blond hair knotted loosely, a striking face, in which ex- perience and youth seem curiously blended, who will try to. learn your wants in broken English. She is the Baroness Lu.ibich de Lozilia-Lozinoky. The baroness was a daughter of Baron Ivan Tehteglovitova, who ,was minister of justice in Russia from 1905 to 1915. To him fell the task of pro- secuting and punishing offenders' in the revolution of 1905: No, doubt he at- tracted his shar'e of fear and hate. Immediately on the outbreak of the revolution in Russia in 1917 the baron was thrown into prison, where he re- mained during the regime of Kerensky. Then, in 1918, when some one shot at Lenine, in retaliation the 'baron and other prisoners were taken from a dun- geon below the Kremlin and put to death. — n How the English Make Toffee. Mix four cups of brown sugar and half a cup of corn syrup with half a cup of water, and put on the fire, stir- ring carefully until all the sugar is dissolved. Let this come to a boil and then take off the fire and add four tablespoons of butter. 'Put the mix- ture back oil the stove once more and boil until the butter has penetrated throughout the candy. Pour onto a greased enameled ware tray of any kind and, as the candy cools,mark it into squares. When it has hardened break these apart and wrap each piece :separately in wax paper. Incidentally, you will find that the labor of "clean- ing up" is a great deal less if you have used an enameled ware saucepan for the cooking, since even the stickiest mixtures do not adhere long to its por- clain-like surface. Tip from the Chaplain. The rector of a; fashionable London church was induced to preach at a well-known prison. When in the ves- try he said to the prison chaplain: "Now I have come, I don't know what to say to your convicts." The chap- lain replied, "Preach to them :exactly as you do to your own congregation; and remember only one thing my people have been found out and yours have not—yet." At the Crossroads.

OF CANADA LIMITED• Garden Labels. Most garden labels are unsatisfac- tory because the names become oblit- erated so quickly. There is a method, however, by which labels can be pre- pared at home so that they will re- main legible for ten years or more, It is only necessary to buy a sheet of zinc and to cut it into labels of what- ever size you may desire. A hole, or better still two holes, can be punched in one end for the wires, which should be of copper. Strips adready cut and punched can be bought for a few cents if the gardener desires to avoid the labor of preparing them. Zinc labels have ,been marked with a prepared ink, but that Is not neces- sary. If the labels are exposed to the elements for a few weeks until they become oxydized the writing can be drone with an ordinary lead pencil. Oxydization can also be produced by immersing the labels in a bath of salt water for a few days. Also the results by this method are generally satisfactory, still better ones can be obtained by painting the zinc with a good gray paint after they have been oxydized. The paint should be thick and can be put on with a cloth. and the writing should be done when the paint is only partly dry. Running Wlfd.
