Surnames and Their Origin
WEL•DEN.
Variation—Weldon, We!by.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
Welden, or Weldon, the latter of
twhich is eimply a different way of
spelling the same family name, Is
easily established as a surname which`
in its first use merely significant of
the place at which, or near which, the
bearer dwelt. •
But you wouldn't know how the
place name came into being unless
you were unusually familiar with the
less common words of the English
language, or knew something of the
ancient Angio -Saxon speech.
The place name is composed of two
Angio -Saxon words, "weald," which
means "wood," or "wooded," and
"den," which in the speech of these
first Englishmen did not mean a cave,
but a depression in the ground, a lit-
tle valley. The meaning of the com-
bination is clear.
It has been held by some that the
4,2,dme is a combination, of "Weald" and
"don,' or "ton," the ancient
equivalent of our modern word "town,"
and that the ending "den" is but a
change in spelling. The reverse, how-
ever, is the more likely explanation,
for towns and fortified places in those
days were not "wooded," but quite na-
turally, always cleared.
Welby is a family name derived
from a place name which is a combina-
tion of "weald" and "by, signifying a
habitation.
PITMAN.
Variations - Pittman, Putman, Put-
nam.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
Right away it comes to our minds,
accustomed to modern meanings of
words, that the original Pitmans, or
Pittmans, were miners, probably of
coal.
But immediately a knowledge of so-
cial history begins to discount this
theory. In the first place the name an.
tedates the use of coal. Though this
does not dispose of the possibility of a
few family names, formed only in
more modern times, having that ex-
planation. In the second place there
wasn't enough mining by, means of
pits in the days of the greatest family
name formation to account for the fre-
quency with which the family name 10
met.
Knowledge of . the language of the
medieval English comes to the rescue,
however, and old documents, suoh as
tax lists and the like, clearly indicate
that the original Pitmans were dwell-
ers near certain wells, for in the -An-
glo-Saxon tongue the word "pit" meant
a well, and in the speech of the Danes
it was "put." Remember that Danes
settled certain parts of England, and
left to some extent the impress of
their language upon local dialects and
you have the explanation of two forms
of the name. The form of Putman is
but an unconsciously developed varia-
tion, taking place after the meaning of
the name was forgotten. Inversion of
the "m" and "n" is quite common.
Experiments have proved that wire-
less can be heard 3,000 feet below the
surface in a mine and to considerable
depths in water.
Do not be afraid to yawn. It is one
of the most healthful of exercises. It

It indicates relaxation and freedom

When in the Woods.
When in the woods be sure your
match is out before throwing it away;
don't throw cigars, cigarettes, and
pipe ashes on the grbund without be-
ing absolutely sure they are out; build
small compflres away from brush and
small trees; never leave your camp-
fire unwatched; make sure you thor-.
ouglaly extinguish your campfire with
water; when it is dead bury it in wet
earth; see that others do likewise; re-
port to responsible parties all forest
fires large and small.
Headaches and Backaches Often.
Make Life Miserable.
A woman's health handicaps her al-
most
lmost always. She has pains and dis-
abilities which do not afflict men. Na-
ture does not give her a fair chance.
Her blood is more often thin and poor
than a •man's, and she often neglects
the first beginnings of ill health. Many
women who seemed destined to a life
of frequent suffering have been freed
entirely from their suffering through
the wonderful blood -making qualities
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Many a
woman toils all day with a pain in her
back and side, a burning headache,
and a sense of having no spine left.
What a pity women will not listen
to their friends whom Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills have saved from their mis-
ery. Whenever a woman suffers they
will help her—in youth, middle -age
and afterlife. Mrs. John Mitchell, of
Middleville, Ont., gives her experience
for the benefit of other women suffer-'
err. She says: -"Some years ago I
was so badly run down I could hardly
walk around the house. I tried to do a
few chores but was able to do very
little. My boys and husband had to
do the rest. If I started up stairs I
had to go very slow or I would fall,
and I was just played out when I got
at the top of the stairs. My head
ached terribly, and my heart would
beat violently. In this deplorable
condition I began taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. When I had finished six
boxes I felt much better. Then d got
a further supply, and by the time I
had taken these I could walk any-
where without being exhausted, the
headaches had disappeared and I am
now perfectly well. Any woman who
is run down should not hesitate to be-
gin Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once,
as I am sure from my own experience
they will build her up."
You can get these Pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cts.

cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Portrait of An Old Lady.
As charcoal sketches, deft and spare,
Suggest a foam that is not there,
The low unshadowed coils of white
Have coronetted her with light.
Her faintly colored lips are sweet
With treasured smiles that they re-
peat,
And quaint reflective lights abide
In eyes that evening opens wide.
A New Kind of Rhythm for;
the Musician to Fathom.
Music lovers, take note! Someone
has discovered a new kind of rhythm.
Not the rhythm of the orchestra,—
not the rhythm of shuffling feet—not
the rhythm of the proverbial alarm
clock -but the rhythm of city life—
the rhythm of London, the capital city
of the British Empire -
The discoverer' appal;ently has visit,
ed .London. recently. Whether he is a
musician or not is not known. He
doesn't mention the music at Queen's
Hall, Albert Hall, Sit. Paul's, West-
minster Abbey, or other places where
music is expected to, and really does,
flourish. Which makes us think: he
isn't a musician. On the other hand,
as the following observations will
testify, there is 'every probability he
knows more about music and rhythm
than the average person will ever
hope to know. He states:
"There is one thing which impress-
es before all others, that thing is the
rhythm of London; the eternal orches-
tration of London life, which the roll
and Jolt of endless moving vehicles,
and the myriad movements of count-
less people, expressing every key and
every tone of sound, ringing the
changes on every harmony, rising and
fabling in a perpetual diapason, like
the undercurrent of organ music In
the service of a great cathedral. The
rhythm. of London is the most subtle
and the most fascinating charahteris-
tic of the capital. It is something more
than mere sound, something more
than a great orchestral piece; it is a
part and parcel of the monster city,
the very garment of her; the font song
she croons to herself and her millions,
and the banner of sound she waves
abaft to heaven as a sign for all who
oome near her"
The soft dull coolness of her flesh
Has netted stiillness in a mesh
Of silky lines that touch with lace
The mellow plainness of her face.
Where life, the wistful warrior -king,
Recording battles, learned to sing,
And left his dreams in low relief
Like shadows in a curled -up leaf.
—Rex George Puller.
Very Necessary.
A clergyman was questioning a Sun-
day -school class and turned to the sub-
ject of baptism.
"Now, children, can anyone tell ine.
what are the necessary things for
baptism?"
Naturally he received the repiy,
"Water."
"Oh, yes, that is one, but can any
of you think of the •other?"
After a long silence a se all girl held
up her hand.
"Well, my dear, what is the other
necessary thing?"
"Please, sir—a baby!"

-Not Poison at AIL'
He lay on the roadside groaning and
writhing in pain. A policeman, hear-
ing the groans, hastened towards him,
inquiring what was the matter. He
could get no definite answer." The
man muttered again and again:
"I ate one too—I ate one too."
The limb of the law soon arrived at
a solution of the problem.
"Poison," lie said to himself.
Hastily procuring what he thought
would be a suitable • antidote, he ad-
ministered it to the man.
The result; however, was:rather sur-
prising. Like a ,shot` tbe man sat up
and asked why he was subjected to
,such treatment, On being told he be-
came angry.
"What did I' eat?" he yelled_ "Why,

Ominous Signs.

man do?„
"Why, I told him several stories, and
as sure as I stand here not one of 'em
) reminded him of another story!!"

RED HOT JULY DAYS
HARD ON THE BABY
July—the month of oppressive heat;
red hot days and sweltering nights; is
extremely hard on little ones. Diar-
rhoea, dysentery, colic and cholera
infantum carry off thousands of pre-
cious little lives every summer. The
mother must be constantly on her
guard to prevent these troubles or if
they come on suddenly to fight them.
No other medicine is of such aid to
mothers during the hot summer as is
Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate
the bowels and stomach, and an oc-
casional dose given to the well child
will prevent summer complaint, or if
the trouble :• does come on suddenly
will banish it. The Tablets are' sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from Th3 Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

the demand fell off. Ceylon and India

Mystery Creatures of the
Jungle.
To those who imagine, as many do,
that Nature has no further surprises
in store or us in the shape of new
animals and birds, tbe news that an
expedition is in South America at-
tempting to capture the hoazin, a very
rare species of water fowl, will come
as a surprise.
But the hoazin, with its cockatoo
crest and its formidably powerful beak
is by no means the only mystery crea-
ture known to exist to -day.
In the heart of Central Africa, where
the jungle in. many places has never
been penetrated by white men, there
is to be found a strange leopard -like
animal striped after the fashion of a
zebra, that so far has evaded classifi-
cation by natural history experts.
What is known as the hippo -horse
is another mysterious beast that
roams the African wilds.. The natives
have long spoken of it, but it was not
until a few months ago that a white
man, Mr. H. E. Lee, made its acquaint-
ance.
He saw the animal half immersed in
a pool. Its mouth, cheeks, and ears
were like those of a horse, but its head
Was like that of a hippopotamus, with
two long, ereot horns on its snout,
The New Guinea forests are be-
lieved to be the home of more than
one animal unknown to natural his-
tory, while the dense jungles of Bor-
neo and Brazil contain others, among
them a long lizard -like creature that
is said to be capable of flying. •
The Giant Bush Pig of Kenya Colony
is another beast that is so rarely seen
that its• existence is doubted by some,
although several reputable travellers
claim to have observed it.
He Didn't Need to be Told.
A certain sales manager down in
Connecticut, says Hidden Treasure,
was administering a well-deserved re-
buke to one of his salesmen recently.
The salesman became indignant and
said, "Don't talk to me that way! I
take orders from no man!"
"I noticed that in the report of your
last trip," replied the sales manager
softly.
