Racial Origin—Norman French. Source—Geographical. Here is a group of family names, all ltti'iom •the same source, but in every ,one of which all clue to that source la Well concealed. These names were .originally addi- tions to given names• which were des- criptive of the nationality of the coun- try from which the bearers• had come. During the period of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries :the English language had not developed the name "Germany," which, by the way; 4s the name for Germany in no other language than Dnglish. The common ward in those days was that from which the modern French name for Germany has de- velepea "Almaine," or "Aimayn," Merchants and artisans who came to England from the inland sections of Germany (in contrast to those from the seaports, who were called "East- , ,:4„erlin_gs") were known either by some such title as "Raynard. d'Aimaine" ("Raynard of Almaine") or "Raynard le Alemaunde." "Le Aleman," "de Al - mania" also are forms frequently met with in the old records. It is easy to see how such descrip- tive additions• to a name would be cor- rupted into some form that sounded like'them as son as the medieval im- migrant had been in England long enougli for his neighbors to forget their real meaning. Thus "d'Almaine has become either Tallman or Dollnian, an "le Aleman" has become Aleman. The variation Lailimand.e probably has come into England •at a later period from the. French, for Norman-French • ceased to be the predominant tongue of Englad before it had. a chance to shorten the "le" into the "1" of mod- ern French. Even before words be- ginning with a vowel it is found in the old records in the form of "le:" MacDOWELL Variations---M'acDowail, Dowell, Dow- ell, MacDhoil, MacCoul, MacCooi. Racial • Origin—Scottish. Source—A given name. This group of names constitutes a °lags of variations • of the clan name of MacDougall, borne by one of the lead- ing 'clans of Scotland, and all of them occur as family names adopted by branches or septs of that clan. Cer- tain of 'them, too, aro not exclusively Scottish, but are to be found. in Ire- land as. •well. That the same Hammes should spring up independently. in Scotland and Ire - lend, though in some cases from dif- ferent sources, la not strange, for the bulk of the Scottish Highland clans trace back to various' periods of eon - quest and colonization of Scotland by the Dalriadic Scots from the north of Ireland, virtually all of which took placeprior to the filth century A.D. The difference in the Gaelic of the High- lands and that of Ireland is more a difference of dialect than of language. The family names in this group, like that bf MacDougall, trace back to the given name of Dugal, from the Gaelic "dhu," meaning "dark," and "gall," for "stranger." In the very early period this was the Highlander's name for a man of the low country, but is very quickly became a given name. The family name of MacCoul was more anciently spelled- "Makoul," One of the Exceptions. Steward ---"You may find your lug- gage that was in the hold a bit damp, nia'aaa. There's been a. sinall leak."

Two Negroes employed in an "equatorial" section at Wembley were gazing upwards wonderingly at an aeroplane high. over, the Exhibition grounds. Their comments were brief but pointed.

Everest; the recent account by Gen, Charles Gran- ville Bruce and other members of the expedition of 1922 of their attempt, so nearly successful,` to conquer the still unconquered Browning peak of the Himalayas, nothing is more note- worthy than their experience In secur- ing the .common necessaries• of life— food and sleep. They were not simple matters to obtain on the terrible, windswept slopes and in the rarefied. air and the intense cold of the high- est camps,. The highest camp of the $rst climb- ing party had to be made upon peril- ously steep ground, upon a smooth, sloping slab of rock, across the foot of which they hastily piled a ridge of small stones so that they should not slide off. "It was not a situation that proniised for either of us a bountiful repose," says Mr. George Leigh Mal- low, who, as the reader will remem- ber, lost his life in the expedition of 1924, "for one would be obliged to lie along the slope, and the only check to his tendency to slip down would be the body of the other. However, there was the little tent " making a gallant effort to hold itself proudly and well." There were two such tents; and af- ter a brief meal of which hot tinned soup was the important part, the four climbers went early to rest—if they could—for the morrow's final climb, in which they stoped to reach the orest. "To the civilized man who gets into bed after the customary easy routine," continues Mr. Mallory, "the disposi- tions in a climber's tent may seem strangely intricate. In the first place he has to arrange about his boots. He must start next morning if possible` with warm feet and in boots not alto- gether frozen smtiff. He may choose to go to bed in his boots, and if his feet are warm when he turns in, it may be that he can do no better. His feet will probably keep warns in the, sleeping bag if he wears his bed socks over his boots, and then he will not have to en- dure the pains of pulling on and wear- ing frozen boots in the morning. At this camp I adopted a different plan— to wearmoccasins instead of boots during the night and keep them' on un- til the last possible moment before starting. But if a man takes iia boots off, where is he to keep them warm? Climbing bootsare not good to cud- dle, and there will be no room for them with two in a double sleeping bag. Mine were accommodated in a ruck sack and put under my head for a pillow. It is not often that a man uses the head for warming things; nevertheless, they kept warm enough and. were- scarcely -frozen in the-morn-- ing, Norton's entrance into our double bag was a grievious • disturbance; 'con- sidering how Ming and slim he is, it is astonishing how much room he re- quired. .We were -pressed so tight to- gether that if either moved a corres- ponding •manoeuvre was required of the other. I soon discovered as the chief item of interest . in the place where .I lay a certain boulder, 'immov- able and excruciatingly sharp, that came up between my shoulder .blades. How : in these circumstances we achieved sleep—and I believe both of us were sometiines unconscious in a light,' intermittent slumber—1 cannot explain. Perhaps the fact that we of- ten breathless from exhaustion or. dis- cdiufoi't arid. were obliged tb 'breathe deep . helped us to sleep, as deep breathing _ often will: In spate of every- • thing the night was endurable; -to pass the sleepless intervals thoughts were natfar to seek; •.we were•able .to.feel soxne 'satisfaction, in the mere exig- ence • .of this . camp -the two small tents perched 'there" on the vast moun- tain side - of: snow -bound rocks and actually higher, at twenty:five. thous- and feet, than any climbing party had been before. 'Hang it all!' we mut-, teied, `It's not so bad!'

TOO MANY ROHE CARES One Reason Why so Many Wo- men Are Weak and Run -Down. The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitality than men realize, and there is always something more to do. No wonder women's backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. No wonder why they get depressed and irritable, suffer from headaches, and always feel out of sorts. But of course all women are not like that. What is the difference? A womanwith plenty of healthy red blood in ber veins finds work in the borne easy, her vitality is at par. This points the way to health in women who feel run down and depressed. Make new rich blood. You can do it with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have the marvellous property of building up thebloodand toning up the nerves. That is proved,., by the case of Mrs. II. Eppinger, Scott Street, Vancouver, B.C., who says:— "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought back my health and strength and restored my nerves to normal condition after other medicines had failed. It was. after the birth of my second child that I became so anaemic and nervous that I thought I would lose my mind as *ell ae•,my strength, I, tried several •medi- cines, but got no relief until I was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using a few boxes of these I could see a ohange. I felt stronger; my appetite was better, I slept better, and my nerves were stronger. I con- tinued the use of the pilLs for some time, and again found myself a' well woman, and I can sincerely say that my health has since been the best. I can cheerfully recommend the pills to all weak, run down women." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont.

The only visit that Robert Louis Stevenson paid to the bookshop of Mr. Walter T. Speneer, in.. London, made a lasting impression on the owner. In ,Forty Years in My Bookshop Mr. Spencer thus describes it: Always I remember the night when Robert Louis Stevenson came into my shop. It was in the year 1885 that he made his one call on me, during a break in a journey from Edinburgh to Bournemouth. The day had been very wet, and he sat down wearily in a chair in my shop parlor to examine some pamphlets that he had inquired about. He told me that one of his shoes leaked, and I suggested that he take it off and allow it to be dried. I thought Mr. Stevenson would be In- terested to see a catalogue that I had just issued in which the first edition of his New Arabian Nights (two vol- umes, published in 1882) was listed at 8s. 6d. in the original cloth. A moment earlier he bad been depressed by the sight on my shelves of some sixty copies of the book—a library surplus that I had purchased for a shilling a volume, I can see now the change on his face as he looked up from the canal' logue. "But, Mr. - Spencer," he said wist- fully, "no one asks about first editions of my books, do they?" Poor Stevenson's lack of self-con- fidence was neveh justified, for the book gradually increased in price, moving to four guineas, to six, to eight. At the sale of Colonel Fri- deaux's library I gave 447 for a. copy. But neither R.L.S. nor I, as we sat there talking on that rainy night, ever thought I should live to see the day when, knowing how limited is the edi- tion, dition, I had to bid £ 101, as I did in 1921, for a book that thirty-seven years earlier I had priced at 8s. 6d.

PUTS HEALTH AND VIM MO WOMEN So Says Mrs. MacPherson of Lydia E Pinkham's Vege- table Compound Brantford, Ontario.—" I was always tired and the least exertion would put me out for a day or two. I had a pressing pain on the top of my head, pain in the nape of my neck, and when I stooped over I could not get up with- out help, because of pain in my back. I did not sleep well and was nervous at the least noise. I keep house, but I was such awreck that I could not sweep the floor nor wash the dishes without ly- ing down afterwards. A friend living near me told me what Lydia E. Pink- ham'sVegetable Compound had done for her so I began to take it. With the first bottle I felt brighter and got so I could wash dishes and sweep without having to lie down. Later I became regular again in my monthly terms. I have taken ten bottles all told and am now all better. I can truly say that your wonderful medicine cannot be beaten for putting health and vim into a wo- man."—Mrs. JAMES H.
