Source—A given name or a descriptive one. The family name of Lloyd is same - times, though infrequently to -day, spell Lhuyd. It is a Welsh name, rather common- ly met with in England and particular- ly so in the Central Eastern section of the United States, notably in Pen- nsylvania, where the Welsh played a.n important part in the early coloniza- tion. As a family name its use traces back both to this given name, and to its use es d descriptive surname, for the word means "brown," and like such Gaelic names as Dougall and Douglas, which meant dark, it became a given name. Again it was used, as. "dhu" and "dubr" have been used in Scotland and Ireland, as a sort of surname, descrip- tive either of the personal appearance of the bearer or of that of the particu- -eveler branch of his family from which he came. In short, in many instances, its de- 'velopment into a family name has paralleled that of the English family name of Brown, the meaning of which is the same. GALBRAITH. Variation—Galbreth. Racial Origin—Scottish. Source—A given name. At the period when the Scottish clans were at the height of their power the Qalbraiths formed a very import- ant division of that most influential clan, the Macdonalds, North and South: . The Gaelic designation of this branch of the Macdonalds was "Chlann a' Bhreattennaich," or "descendants of the Britons," but they took as a family name the given name of their chief- tain, who played an important part in the national affairs of Scotland about the time of James I., "Galbraich," of Baidernock. Of course, in the earlier use of this name it was regularly prefixed by the "mac," indicating followers or des- cendants of the person named. But as has been the case with so many Scot- tish and Irish clan names, the prefix was dropped as superfluous after the translation of the name into English in later generations. The strongholds of this branch of the Macdonalds were at Macrihannish and Rrumore, and prior to 1600 they held the island of Gigha for the Mac- donalds. "Lord Nelson" and the Cooks: Yachting in the Mediterranean was • on the whale "Blue Water," as Mr. A. S. Hildebrand calls it in his book of that name. But on one occasion at Almeria, Spain, when the boat was without the services of a cook, not only the water but the yachtmen also were blue. The ship chandler at that place, a map. with one eye, .says Mr. Hildebrand, kept asking what he could do. for us, In the end we told him we n- edecl a cook, and as he left he hand- s his card, which we found bore the name "Lord Nelson." Subsequently we asked the British consul whether Lord Nelson was de- pendable. "He's about as good as the general run of them," was the reply. "He's about the only ship chandler here at any rate. Some of the others, younger men for the most part, have tried to break into his game from time to time, but he has money enough to undersell them, and he doesn't hesitate even to give away supplies for the sake of freezing out his competitors," When we asked Lord Nelson to re- commend us a 000k he tholtght for a moment and at last puttered, "Pepe! There's a manfor you. Good cook, good sailor. For six months he cook on Norway salvage ship; he go away, be- cause ship no go to sea. Always he want go to sea. He marry me little girl. You see? And I try to make him go into ship -chandler business with me. But no. No, no. He love sea. Always sea. Good sailor? Whoof! Bad weather? More bad weather, better he like!" Since the wind was in the east, we stayed three days in. Almeria, and Pepe came and cooked for us. He was a good cook and peat and pleasant, but be was so'fat that it was impossible to imagine his going aloft. We asked him whether he was willing to stay with us. "Yes, I go," he said. "For Six months I try get into ship -chandler business here in, Almeria, but Lord Nelson, he giveaway meat, figs, wine, eggs, every- thing to ships that come. So I lose three thousand pesetas and give up. No got more money. •I go. Where you go?" ' When we told him his eyes grew wide with astonisirinent. He reflected Lor a moment and then said he thought Say `gayer Aspirin" INSIST! • Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" , on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by phy- sicians for 24 years.

We sent for Lord Nelson again and asked for another cook. "I know very man" he said without a moment's hesitation. "Speak Eng- lish same as you; . better than me. Name Martini. Good cook, good sail- or. Been ten year at sea. American ship. Yes. Fine man. I tell him. You see." Martini was quick and clever in the galley and had once matte a voyage in a steamer to Newport News, but he was no man for going aloft, and it was hard to understand Lord Nelson's en- thusiasm for him unless—sure enough, we learned on investigation that Mar- tini had been trying to break into the ship -chandler business, and that Lord Nelson had had to give away supplies to defeat him. The wind came westerly on the fourth day, and as we were making sail. Martini appeared on deck with his bundle under his arm and, saying that his son was very sick, resigned. So we went to sea without a cook. History of the Cabbage. Remarkable facts • concerning the cabbage have been discovered by Pro- fessor Ruggles Gates, the botanist. It is stated that cabbages, kales, cauliflowers, and brussels sprouts all originated in the wild cabbage, a na- tive of the coast and th•e South of Eng- land. The cabbage as we knew it•was the first development of the wild plant, and from it came the cauli- flower and the sprout. Apparently there was no gradual de- velopment. It just happened spon- taneously. In the case of the cauli- flower there was an inflorescense, and the green flower turned to white and. became succulent and fleshy, though not to the degree we know it to -day. Aa a food the cabbage is extremely valuable, because it contains lime and potash. To be completely healthy people re- quire roughage, coarse indigestible material, just as animals do. Cabbage furnishes roughage and supplies lime. It should be steamed, and not boiled or. cooked `in soup. New Peaks Found in Cariboo Range. Eight new mountains have been found and ascended in the Cariboo range of British Columbia by Prof, R. T. Chamberlain of the University of Chicago's Department of Geology, and A17en Carpe, New York, engineer, who have recently returned. One is among the highest in the Canadian North- west. - Hitherto even old guides in Alberta were, unfamiliar with the Alpine slopes of the range. • Chamberlain and Carpe also located the headwaters of the Thompson and Canoe Rivers, and they are the first white men everto note the glacial sources of these two mountain streams. They camped on the rocks as high as 10,000 feet, using a special powder for fuel. To My Little Son.

Failing sight, the.result of rbeu- uratic or other infection, or even the Penetration of the eyeball, can be arrested within 'three nays by iniec tions of pure cow's milk Into the lum'- bar region of thepatient, according to Dr. Edward R. Gookin, of'Boston, wlio arrived at New York recently after five months' study in Vienna of this new discovery by physicians of the hospital attached to the University of Vienna. Dr. Gookin denied early reports that the intik injectionsare a cure for blindness. Those who are already blind, he said, may not hope for the restoration of their sight by this meth- od, but those who are but partially blind from infection or penetration, or those in whose eyes the infection has just been discovered, have good rea- sons to hope that their sight will get no worse, and also that sympathetic ophthalmia (affection. of , the other eye) will be prevented. For the meek injection treatment, said Dr. Gool in, no one Viennese doc- tor claims credit. It was discovered, he declared, by `a group of doctors chief among whom, perhaps, are Doc- ens Doctors Lindner and Guist. (Coe - ens indicates something more than a doctor, or e.. combination of doctor and professor). "Successful treatments have been given In so many cases in Vienna," Dr. Gookin continued, "that the discovery may be said to have passed the experi- mental stage. • It is established as an absolute preventive in far more than fifty per cent. of cases. .1f ;the patient does not respond in three days then he is Considered beyond hope and no other remedy iso attempted. "The discover`y'is particularly valu- able in the case of infants whose eyes are affected at birth. Any eye trouble, resultant from infection, may be ar- rested in them at once by the milk in- jections. It seems simple enough for home treatment, but there are details which only a physician experienced in this work can handle." "Pure, unadulterated cow's milk is the only ingredient. This is boiled for not less than four, nor more than five minutes. Then it is permitted to cool to body temperature, 98.6 degrees, be- fore the injection is made. The amount Injected in an adult is ten cubic centimetres, or 150 grains. This much is injected in the lumbar region once a day ,for three successive days. That is all. After that the infection, or failing sight, is arrested for good and all, or else the case is hopeless. The dose for infants under one year is ono cubic centimetre once a day for three days." Acute Sight Enables Birds to Spot Food. Compared with birds, human wings have poor sight. It is well known that an eagle is capable of sighting its quarry from a great height, and is able to swoop down and seize it exactly in the centre of its• neck. Most birds have good sight, but in some the faculty is more developed than in others. The woodcock, for in- stance, has the remarkable power of flying at a great speed through dense thickets as though it were flying through an open space. It is.also astonishing to see the pace at which a bird will alight upon a tree or building. Only most acute sight en- ables it to do this accurately. Then, how quickly birds discern food that has been left on the ground! Throw a piece of bread down at a time when no birds are near, and in a few moments a number of them will be on the spot. SUMMER HEAT HARD ON EASY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all hu- man help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer_ is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentery and, colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles niay prove deadly if no•t promptly treated. During ,the summer .the mother's best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. • They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy.

He ergss then sub -editor of what he called the ' local rag, the .Civil and Military Ga- zette of Lahore. It was at that time that lee wrote Plain Tales from the Hills and De- , partinentai Ditties. They used to ap- pear on the outside page of the Civil and Military Gazette and curiously ;enough did not set the hills ablaze. Some people thought them "rather funny," and some wondered languidly, "Who the dickens is R. K.?" But the tales and ditties gaye no offense at all for the simple reason that no one re- cognized himself, though he immedi- ately saw how exactly the cap fitted some one else. • Rudyard Kipling was so seldom in Simla that I have always felt con- vinced that his sister helped him a great deal in the ground -work of his tales and ditties; she had a more in- tixnate knowledge than he of Simla and its society. Miss Kipling was •a bright, clever girl, and, though she did not say much, she saw everything dis- tinctly. She was the bright damsel who, when Lord Dufferin asked her why she was not dancing, replied with _ a placid smile, "You see I am quite young; I am only eighteen. Perhaps when I am forty I shall get some part- ners." This quiet little dig at the middle-aged ladies who pranced about with the Hill captains while their daughters sat out appears in one of Rudyard Kipling's verses. It was some years later that a tra- veling publisher happened tb find the Plain Tales on an Indian railway book- stall and, grasping the genius of them, arranged to republish them. From that moment Rudyard Kipling became famous. The Stolen Duchess. No end ever loved prominence more than Georgiana, Duchess' of Devon shire; at her London mansion she was the centre of the social and political groups that swayed the kingdom. How delighted she would have been, there fore, could she have known that after her death she would be the most talked -of woman in the world! Gainsborough, writes Mr. E. M. Dole in the Mentor, was at the height of his powers; when the auburn -haired duch- ess ordered from him a full-length por- trait. He made four preliminary sketches before deciding on the pose and the costume. After the picture had passed into the lady's possession, about the year 1778, she occasionally lent it for exhibitions; then it dropped out of sight. In 1841 a well-to-do haberdasher saw the picture in the cottage of an old seamstress, who had cut it down to fit a space over her mantel. He bought it for two hun- dred and seventy-five dollars and thirty-five years later sold it to a well- known London firm of art dealers at a profit of over fifty thousand dollars! At this point there enters the sinis- ter figure of Adam Worth, an Ameri- can criminal, who in May, 1875, was directing from his luxurious apart- ments in London the operations of an international band of thieves and for- gers. One of his aids had fallen into the hands of the police and was in Newgate Prison. While trying to de- cide what to do to get him out Worth, passing along Bond Street one after- noon, noticed the line of carriages drawn up before Agnew's, where the Duchess of Devonshire's picture was on view. Immediately he conceived a plot. He would steal the painting that had set London astir and hold it as hostage against the release of his con- federate. The next night he climbed through a window, cut the portrait from a stretching frame and carried it to a safe hiding place. When the robbery was discovered the world of art was thrown into convulsions. A day or so later the Messrs. Agnew received an anonymous communication stating that the picture would be surrendered if they world go bail for the prisoner in Newgate. A scrap of the convas was inclosed in the letter. The own- ers would enter into no negotiations that would associate' them in doubtful proceedings, and Adam Worth found. the stolen 'masterpiece on his hands. Despite desperate efforts Scotland Yard got no Clue to the perpetrator of the crime, and some time afterward the robber carried the portrait to America, concealed under the false bottom of his trunk. • For twenty-five years the painting was sought by de- tective agencies all over the world while it lay concealed in warehouses in New York, in Brooklyn and in Bos- ton. In 1901 word came to Pinkerton's detective agency through Pat Sheedy, a notorious New York gambler, that the picture, the disappearance of which had never ceased to be the ob- ject of discussion in art circles and in the underworld, would be surrendered upon payment of the reward of five thousand dollars. After a life of ex- travagance Worth was penniless. A secret message was sent to Mr. Mor- land Agnew, and in Chicago a few weeks later the canvas was placed in his hands. . When exhibited in .London the Stolen Duchess was viewed by hys- terical crowd`s. J. Pierpont Morgan, after a few moments' examination, bought the picture for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At Mr. Morgan's death the painting came back to America and was shown for a while at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1916 it went to 1VIrs. Herbert L.
