Reale, Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. These family names are anglicized feoprins of another of the Irish clan A'''i4ames, though, of course, the one vari- ation, Hill, has an English origin which in the majority of eases ex- plains its existence. The Irish form of the name is "O'Baoghail,” which isn't half as hard. to pronounce as It looks when it is oonsiderod that the "gh" in this cars happens to be virtually silent, leaving the four vowels, "weal" for pronuncia- tion as a diethong. In short. the Eng- lish spelling of Boyle represents the true pronunciation. The less frequent form, "Boghill," has no connection whatever with the English' words, "hog" and "hill." It is simply an attempt to preserve the Irish spelling, and was arrived at merely by the elimination of "a" from the first syllable and "m" also from the second, with the addition of another sial "1" simply from English habit. In turn there are cases on record where families bearing this name have arbitrarily shortened it still further to "Hill" in the effort to obscure its Irish origin. Changes of this nature oc- curred chiefly at times and places in Ireland when English law made it com- pulsory to drop the native names. The .clan traces its origin to a chief- tain of the O'Donnells of Tyrcouncil, whose given name was "Baoghal." MACKIN. Varlations—MacMackin, Meekine, Ma kin, Meakin. Racial Origin—English, also Scottish. Source—A given name. There is a peculiar paralleling of the forms of the English and Scottish family names' in this group, which have come from the same given name, but through a different form of de- velopment. The given name, though you might not suspect it, is Mathew, the same that has given us the family names in the Mathewson and Matheson classi- ficatio is. The change from the "eh" in Mat- hew to a " ck" .or "k" in English was brought about as the result of the use of ono of the Anglo-Saxon diminutives of the name, "Mat" was a short form of Mathew. "Mackin," through the ad- dition of the diminutive ending "kin," meant "Little Mat." Hence the mean- ing of Matkinson is clear. But that combination of "tie" in the middle of the name was as hard. for the Eng- lish tongue of the Middle Ages as for us, and the "k" being the more domin- ant sound, .the `"t" just' naturally dropped out. The development of the Scottish name is somewhat different. One of the older forms a the Gaelic "Mac- Mhathain" (Mathewson), was "Mao- Maghain," met with about 1263, and it is from this form that MacMackin is developed. Words With Changed Meanings. If we wish to label anything strange or barbarious we say it is "outlandish," but when the Bible speaks of an "out- landish woman" is means a foreigner, Ano7t zer curious expression le the Au orized Version is "The other bas- k very naughty figs." That means fruit which was good for naught. To -day the word "naughty" means "ill-behaved." In the Prayer Book -the word "presently" means "at the present time," but to -day it always means a future time, though not far distant. When the Authorized Version of the Scriptures was first printed the word "careful" meant "full of care and an- xiety," as . in "careworn," but if a man were said to be careful it would to -day be a good testimonial. Thus, when the New Testament tells us to "be careful for nothing," it is not enjoining waste- fulness and speaking against thrift, but simply telling us not to worry about anything.

One of the stone tefilets discovered in the ruins of the ancient temple at the foot of Mt. Sinai may possibly have been inscribed by the hand of Moses himself. The message, which. is in primttive ehrew, reads: "I am the son of Hatshepsut, overseer df the mine workers of Sinai; chief of the tempile of Mona and Jabu (Jehovah) of Sinai. Thou, . 0 Hatshepsut, wast kind to me and drew me out of the. water of the Nile; and• thou hast ;.placed me over the temple which is on Sinai." It is well-known that Hatsb'iep- sut was a great queen of Egypt who ruled about 1500 B.O., and who opened. capper mines on Sinai: The date, moreover, •corresponds with that which Jewish traditionassigns to the life- time of Moses.

A well known doctor has ascertain- ed that outbreaks of infectious disease may very easily originate in trees and shrubs and be Carried by the insects inhabiting them to neighboring locali- ties. It appears that in the first placecer- tain prickly plantssometimes harbor living germs known as fiageliftes, which, - through minute in size, have long, prickly, and Very active tails. The germs are eaten by insects visit- ing the plants, and remain alive in their bodies. Further experiments were made in connection with the deadly disease known as "black sickness," and also with one so-called trypanosma infec- tions. In both cases, it was disclosed that, the prickly plants on which the tailed germs• were first discovered, and the enormous spread of such. diseases in swampy countries, where ,parasitical insects may infect large areas scan well be imagined. -o,— It is always safe to send Dominion Express Money: Orders. The Plaintiff on the Jury. Since it is a place where human na- ture is constantly under examination and illustration, there is plenty of humor to be• fotzned in the solemn pro- ceedings of the court room. . One of the very beat court anecdotes, is told by the eminent English—advocate Sir Ernest Wild, •K.C. A civil action'was being heard in a certain court of justice, and counsel, having, opened the case, called the plaintiff, whereupon a member of the jury rose, left the jury box and made his way to the witness box. Asked what he .was doing, he said that he was the plaintiff. "Then; what are you doing an the jury?" said the ledge. "I was summoned to sit on the jury," said the man, iynoclucing the summons,. "But .surely," said the judge, '"you know that you cannot help to try your 9., own case?" • Good Progress Made in Control oArc Good progress has been made by the C.G.S. Arctic in the annual patrol of the Arctic arcbipelego'according, to ie - ports received by the •Nortir West Ter- ritories and Yukon Brandi of the De- partment of the Interior by wireless: The 1924 expedition sailed from Que- bec on July 5 with Mr. F. '•D, Hender- son, D.L,S„ representing the Depart- meet of the Interior, in' charge, and Captain J. E. Bernier •in command of the Arctic. The object of this year's patrol of the Dominion's northern pos- sessions was the re -provisioning of the posts at Pangnirtung and Ponds Inlet en Baffin Island and Craig Harbor on Ellesmere lslazel, the establishment of another post and a general inspec- tion. t =4 When about 200 milce north of the strait of Belle isle and off the coast of Labrador, the Arctic ran into a storm: and shipped some water, which neces- sitated the throwing overboard of a part of the cargo of coal. The Arctic proceeded on its way and reached Cumberland gulf on July 22, where In- specter C., E. Wilcox, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, was taken aboard for his tour of inspection of the posts. The ship arrived at Godhaven, Greenland, on August 1, sailing the next day for Pends Inlet„which was reached on 5th August and Craig Har- bor on the 9th. On arriving at the lat- ter post it was learned that the main building there was burned in February but all the men at the post were well. The Arctic proceeding north reached Rice. Strait on August 11 Sind estab- lished a cache. Rice strait is the body of water separating Pim Island, of which the eastern extremity is Cape Sabine, from the mainland. The Arctic then returned southward and made Dundas Harbor an the 17th, where the new post was established and the buildings erected, The latest wireless message received August 28 indicated that the Arctic was then at Ponds In- let and that all were well. The mail for Captain Donald B. Mac - Milian, the 'United States explorer, was not delivered, as' he was not seen nor any word received from him. The success which has been attain- ed in maintaining communication be- tween the Arctic and the civilized world has been chiefly due to the re- gular commercial sat. The short wave get has proved more satisfactory in the latter part of the trip than in the ear- lier. aT .ANKFUL MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she would use nothing else. • The Tablets give Such results that the mother has no- thing but' of praise and thank- fulness for them. Among the thou- sands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is. Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience I would not be without them. I would urge every other moth- er to keep a box ,of the Tablets in the house." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach; drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers, or by mail at 25c. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Measuring Brides for Dowries. A quaint ceremony is ohserved at Boyden, in Norfolk, England. About thre hundred year ago the Lord of the Manor bequeathed the sum of £1000, the interest from which was to be voted annually to provide dowries for four brides. Under the terms of the bequest, the money has to be divided between the youngest, the eldest, the shortest, an dthe tallest brides married during the course of each year in the parish church. This entails' the "measuring of the bride." After the marriage ceremony the bride and bridegroom proceed to the vestry to sign the register, and the bride is then measured by the.officiat- ing minister. In order that her cor- rect stature may be ascertained, she is required to remove her shoes and let down her hair. At the end of the year the marriage records are exani- fined, and the dowries awarded to those qualified to receive them. To -day many people seem inclined to do as little as possible, but to get as much money as possible and to send it extravagantly.—Field-Mar- steal Sir William Robertson.

The Land of the Rising Sun offers many curious scenes for the Canadian, while Hong Kong is of special interest as an out- post of the British Empire. Shanghai and Singapore, the West Indies, Cal- cutta, Bombay and Ceylon, what vis- ions of tropical grandeur these names suggest! A trip up the Nile, a view of Luxor, Cairo and AIexandria,is fol- lowed by a visit to the Holy Land. Mediterranean cities next claim the at- tention ttention of the traveller, who may con- tinue his tour to include Switzerland, Fiance and the British Isles.

Pinkham's Vege- table Compound f Crandall, Manitoba,—" When.I was a young girl at home and working I had terrible pains, almost more than I could bear, and I was not regular. These troubles kept me so tired all the time that I had no strength and no ambition to join in with my friends and have a good time. I was just tired and miser- able always and life just seemed as if it wasn't worth living. I saw so much in the papers about. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then I had a friend who had taken it and told me about it, so'I got some. Every month after taking it I got stronger and I soon did, not suffer every month. It stopped the pains and°helped the other ways. Then when my babies were corning I was tired and worn out the first three months and ached badly. I took the Vegetable Compound right along and, must say it made a new Froman of me and able to do my work, ''and it helped me through, confinement.
