Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupation. Among the medieval English a Lipp- man was a "1eapinan," "lepeman" or "leepman;" All three spellings are to be found in the old records. You dight conclude from this that the `various founders of the Lippman and Lipman families were celebrated as }jumpers. Such a conclusion, however,. would be entirely ez'r•oneous. The werd "lepe" has been for many generations defunct in our language, though the family names derived from the occupation connected with at are every much alive and by no means un- common. The "lope" was a form of basket, strongbut flexible, and in wide use about the period when fancily names began to crystallize from occupations as well as other sources. In an old Bible, in the parable of -tee* loaves and fishes, is found the follow - lug: "And thea eaten and weren ful- filled and thei taken up that that lefte of relifs sevene leepis." It was the usual thing to refer to a :man by his occupation, as "Roger le !Lepeman ("the maker er baskets"), but quite often without even the ar- ticle, "le," particularly toward the close of this period, in which common usage made the names mere verbal tags of identification rather than literal descriptions of occupation. DRISCOLL Variation—O'Driscoll. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. You might not even recognize Dris- coll as an Irish family name, though if you run across it in the form of O'Driscoll the significance of that pre- fix is clear. Like virtually all Irish names, it is the Anglicized form of an ancient clan name, and this clan name was "O'h- Edersceoii," which is sbmething quite different in both spelling and pronun- ciation from O'Driscoll, though your English pronunciation of the Gaelic spelling would probably be wrong, for that syllable "aeon," containing the three vowels was pronounced simply „col-,: The elan was founded by a chieftain named "Edersceal," who was the great grandson of "Lugaidh MacCon," the 113th monarch in that line of "high kings" whose reigns stretched through virtually 3000 years. There are no records which show specially the year in which the clan was founded, but history gives definite- ly the reign of this great-grandfather of the founder, which was between the years 195 anS,.225 A.D. SATISFIED MOTHERS No other medicine gives as great satisfaction to mothers as does Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets are equally geed for the newborn babe or the growing child and are absolutely safe, They cannot possibly do harm —always good The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which regulate e bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus relieve baby of any of the minor We of childhood such as con- stipation, indigestion, colds, colic, etc. Concerning them Mrs. Arthur Pillion, St. Sylvestre, Que. writes: --"Baby's Own Tablets have been of wonderful benefit to my baby who was suffering from constipation and indigestion, I always keep the Tablets on hand and would advise all mothers to do like- wise." The Tablets aro told by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out. Label Them Correctly. I have seen careless people wash out a medicine bottle, and without changing the label refill the bottle with some entirely different kind of medicine.

STORIES OF WF,I J. - KNOWN KNOWN PEOPLE it Came Truel The greatest living British musician, Sir Edward Elgar, can look back with pride and declare that he is practically self-taught—£3 12s. Gd, was his total expenditure on instruction, for a fort- night's tuition on the violin. One of Sir Edward's first appoint- ments ppointments was as bandmaster to a local lunatic asylum, where he used to con- duct an orchestra composed of the at- tendants, and in those days he thought little of writing a whole score of a piece for is. 6d. He tells the story oI the time when he first went to school. The master asked for his name, and he replied, "Edward Elgar," whereupon the mas- ter said: "Add the word 'sire" "Sir Edward Elgar," came the re- ply. And that unconscious prophecy came true! The Missing Clock. In "My Garden of Memory," Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin, the famous authoress, tells a story of the time when 'she was the guest of some friends, and was kept from sleeping by the ticking of a clock in her bedroom. Finally, she had to place the clock among some blankets in a drawer- Leaving early next morning, she for- got to tell the maid about the clack. Three months afterwards, in Ger- many, she remembered it. She would have cabled, but it seemed bizarre to say, after an interval of many months: "Clock buried in guest -room between blankets in bottom drawer. Impossible to sleep with it! Forgive!"

Mrs. Calvin Coolidege is noted for her quick flashes of wit and repartee. When her husband was Vice Presi- dent and she was meeting the ladies of the Senate for the first time at their luncheon club, over which she was to preside, the Senators' wives filed by introducing themselves. When Mrs; Jahn B. Kendrick's turn came, she said: I'm Mrs." Kendrick, the junior from Wyoming." "And Pm Mrs. Coolidge, the fresh- man from Massachusetts,",,. was her prompt retort. PALE, WAN CHEEKS AND DULL EYES Is Proof That the Blood is Thin and Impure. It is the blood that gives color to the cheeks and lips, as well as bright- ness to the eyes. If your blood gets thin -the color will fade and the eyes grow dim. By the time this happens You will notice that you tire easily and are subject to headaches and backaches, for the blood goes every- where and the entire system feels the effects when it becomes thin. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to enrich the blood, and this better blood strengthens the nerves and all the organs of the body, brings a glow of health to the cheeks, bright- ness to the eyes and a general feeling of renewed health and strength. Miss Florence Johnson, Stratford, Ont., who has proved the value or Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills hi cases of this kind, says:—"A few years ago I was great- ly run clown; my brood was very poor and my nervous system in bad shape. The doctor said my condition was due to improper diet and lack of fresh air. I then commenced eating the food he advised and went out daily for a walk. I did not improve, however, and was much discouraged. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I lost no time in getting a supply and can truthfully say that when I had finished the first box I could note an improvement. From then on the pro- gress was steady. My complexion, which had been pale anti sallow, be- gan to take on a healthy glow, I felt a great deal stronger and my appetite became normal, and soon my health was fully restored. Before using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I' did not know anything about their wonderful quali- ties, but now I recommend them to all suffering from similar aliments." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at'50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. ei And Americans Are Motorists, You Know. "Do you think Americans believe in their motto, 'In God We Trust?' "Don't the motorists drive as if they do?" About "Grass Widows." In the eleventh century in England it was a law of the church that a widow must "remain under God's pro- tection and grace"-not"marry--for a year after the death of her husband. Such woven were called. "Grace Wid- ows," which often went into the parish registers as "grasse widows," This was the first use of the term. Of more recent origin, however, is its recent inelegant adaptation to indi- cate a divorcee. In the days of, the Foi'ty-niners in California it was not uncommon for men toboar out" ut thein wives while they went off to dig for gold. Seeing humor in the situation, one of them uuiquoly referred to the separation as "peting his widow out to grass"—with reference, of course, to the pasturing of cattle. The term evidently struck what has been called 'the .American affliction of the funny bile." For applied to the rapidly incl ea Ing number of: divor' cees, "grass widow soen`intrenched it- self in our slang lexicon.—Kansas City Star. England Shows Auto Gains.

The, United States, 'japan, Russia, Czecho-Slovakia and many other coun- tries import trained Germaa dogs to act as detectives in criminal .cases; These .dogs are second to none in searching for bidden things, : writes Dr. Koen. Since. January 1, 1824, the Bergin police headquarters has had a con- stant night service which In important cases sends dogs to the place where a crime has been committed. Ten ex- cellent German shepherd dogs, among them the record doge, Wotan and Ito, are in the service. Their work oopsists of search, either alone or with a policeman. The latter is the more popular and more suecess- ful Inethod. If the dog is gnawed to move freely, without being held by a leash, the policeman is hardly able to watch his behavior and his course, which contribute much to any dis- covery. Anyhow, It is almost impos- sible for a man to fallow a dog, for his race leads frequently over roofs and through hidden hotels to the re- fuge of the criminal. Frequently criminals hide their tracks by pouring gasoline or other liquids on It, or by placing poisoned meat which might kill the dog if he were not watched. Whether stolen goods are hidden on land or in the water does not matter to a police dog. A cow, for instance, was stolen recently and th epolice dog, with its policeman leader, was set on the track. He followed the track to a suburban garden and found the dead cow hidden underneath branches and straw. Not satisfied with this dis- closure, the dog went on and began to bark in front of a shack, where the two thieves were found, with the blood- stains of the fresh -killed cow on their clothes. Ito, the "wonder -dog," found stolen copper and lead in a water barrel. Here also the dog was not content with finding the geode, but.discavered the thief, who was with his father in a garden of the neighborhood.. That the splendid police dogs do their duty even in water is proven by the stunt Greif did not ions age when he speeded to Berlin's river harbor to locate a stolen tun of oil which the thieves had sunk there by means of ropes and stones. • BETTER GREEN TEA IMPORTED. Many think that those who drink Green Tea are more critical judges of quality than those who drink blot, Such would seen to be the case, be- cause some years ago great quantities of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas were brought into Canada. The demand for this type of tea soon fell off. Now, however, the much finer quality of India and Ceylon Greens, imported mostly by the Salada Tea Company, has sharply revived the de- mand by those who enjoy the distinc- tive flavor of Green Tea.

As every good gardener knows, there are a right way and a wrong way of gathering flowers, In hie "Bluebook of Annuals and Biennials" Henry Stuart Ortloff, the landscape architect, gives a word about the proper way. "0 word about cuting flowers. A sharp pair .of scissors' is the best Im- plement," he says. "A clean sharp cut is more readily healed by Nature. Spare the small shcts and branches, for they are the sources of a later supply. It is always well to cut an average amount of foliage with your flower; and it is always better taste to use a flower with its own foliage rather than depend on ferns and other things for greenery, "When the flowers are taken in- doors plunge their stems into a deep dish or pail of cold water and let them stand for a quarter to a half an hour, or while you are collecting the vari- ous vases and filling them about three quarters full of fresh water, When you have selected your blooms, before you take them from the water, snip off the ends of the stem withYo ur scis- sors while they are still under water. The reason for this is that while the flower has been in the open air with a cut stem a large amount of air has entered the stalk and so does not per- mit water to flow readily up the stem ae it should."
