Varig (o—MacNevin, Bone, Bonass, Bo do Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. The family name of Nevin should not be confused with that of Niven, though, owing to the ease with, which one form may be corrupted into the other through the simple transposi- tion of vowels which sound very much alike, there is no doubt that there have been many instances in which Niven has been changed into 'Nevin, and vice versa. The family name of Nevin, unlike Niven, is distinctly Irish. It is not found among the historical lists of the Scottish clans. It Is derived from the given name of "Cnamhin," which means a bone," and appears in its true Irish form as "O'Cnaimhin" or "MacCnaimhfn," with a pronunciation virtually the same as "nevin."' In some cases Irish clans of this name tract it back4to a younger broth- er of "Owen Mor," or Owen the Great, one of the ancient Irish monarchs, though the family name does not track back to this same individual in all cases. At various periods under pressure of English laws and customs, the. name has been translated into the English equivalent "Bone," and into Bonass and Bowen on account of their similar sounds. There is a family name of Bowen, also of Welsh origin, but it is not the same, being the modern form of "Ap- Owen," of "son of Owen." ARBUTHNOT Racial OrigIn—Scottish. 8nuroe—A locality. Several conflicting and fanciful explanations have bean given of the origin of the family nate° of Arbuth- not. The truth is that it is one of those family names which were originally place names, and in its first use it de- signated merely the place from which the 'individual had come or the terri- tory over which he held some sort of suzerainty. Arbuthnot is a place in Scotland: The older records show it was at one time spelled' •Aberbuth"noth. One family bearing this name at least traces back in unbroken line to the period in the Middle Ages when the name was deliberately adopted as a result of the feudal sway which it held over the district. But while there is a chance that any one bearing this family name 'might trace his ancestry specifically to this family at some period or other, it does not necessarily follow that suck is the case. Some ancestor who merely lived in that distriot might have be- come known by the name upon his moving to some other locality. Wheth- er feudal sway or mere former resi- dence -was indicated, the prefix to the family name in the first place would have been the same, "de," the Norman- French method of saying "of." HEALTHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL The healthy child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is cross and peevish. Mothers, if your children do n t. sleep well; if they are cross and great deal, give them Baby's Own Tablets and they will soon be well and happy again. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stom- zeh, banish constipation, colic and in- digestion and promote healthful sleep. They are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates and may be given to the new-born babe with perfect safety. You can obtain the Tablets through any medicine dealer at 25 cents a box, or by mail, post paid, from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, .Ont.

EDMONTO.N''„VANCOUVER CALGARY Science Baffled by Scents. Science can do marvels for sight, hearing, and touch, but so far it has accomplished nothing for .our sense of` slnell.. Attempts have bean made to find the means by which deer and other animals detect a plan's presence even though he is a mile or niore away. and out of sight. It seems °fairly certain, that the secret lies in a wonderfully • keen sense of smell, yet elaborate tests have not proved this. Civilized man has lost the keen power of smell with which he was originally endowedd, but many savage races retain it. A tribe in. Northern Japan track game by the nose alone, exactly like a dog. There is also an. Indian tribe in Brazil with the same gift. • Occasionally a member of one of the white races is found with similar powers, Dean Buckland, the British geologist, could tell the locality in which he happened to be simply by smelling the earth, Once, on being lost while out riding with some friends , he picked up a klandful of earth, smelt it, and announced, correctly, that they were near Uxbridge. James Mitchell,' the blind deaf-mute, invariably recog- nized his friends by the odor peculiar i to them when they entered his room. t So far from deciding how our olfac-1 tory nerves work, science has not yet discovered what scent is. • A grain of musk, for example, will perfume a room for years, and yet, on being weighed, will be found not to have diminished even a fraction in size. THF DIG GIRL Requires a Mother's Constant Care and Watchfulness. In their early teens it is quite com- mon for girls to outgrow their strength, and mothers should careful- ly watch the health of their daughters at this time, for it is when strength is sapped by ,too rapid growth that anaemia develops. The first signs may be noticed by peevishness, lan- guor and headaches. The fate grows pale, breatiileseness read palpitation follow, with low spirits, At the first symptom of anaemia mothers should act at once.

Years go; when I lived in a cold house and the plants would freeze now and then or get chilled enough never to be, really nice, I learned the value of the hardy bulbs. I could have flowers even if the soil in the pots should freeze a crust. A. light chill had no effect on even the more tender sorts, such as the paper -whites and freesias, while the hyacinths seemed to welcome the cold. Then if I wanted flowers in a room where I kept no fire, but where the temperra- ture was well above freezing—around 60 or 60 degrees most ofthe time—I could have them, for all the hardy bulbs like such cool quarters. They will do better in a cool room than in a warm one, though in the ordinary liv- ing -room temp•eratiire they will do well if kept moist.—H. A. , Youth Asks. I wonder what they know, They must be very wise, With all a lifetime garnering Behind their dulling eyes; And yet they talk of tiny things And petty things long known, And handle life that burns so hard As if it were a stone.

Drivers improve With Age. According to Dr. J. J. Snow, nation- ally known psychologist, automibile drivers between the ages of 30 and 39 are least likely to have accidents., while those from 20 to 29 are consti- tutionally more careless. The old supposition that married men are less likely than single nien to have acci- dents has been , definitely disproven, he declares. Fitness to drive an auto- mobile is solely a matter of intelli- gence, caution and quick nervous re- action to the needs of a sudden emer- gency. You can always tell the age of a Japanese woman by looking at her hair. She 'wears a . gold pin in her hair until she reaches the age of 25. At 30, the pin is white. At 40, the women wear plain shell combs. It would take a mind reader to tell the : age of an American woman by her , 66 hair. They bob from 6 to 96 l danard's Liniment torr Rheumatism.

The making of plaster masks from living faces'bids fair to supersede por- trait -painting and • photography in Vienna, A well -know -i sculptor has established a studio for this purpose, and is doing a thriving business—the majority of his clients being women. A mask of this kind can be made in a quarter of an hour, and costs about twenty-five dollars. The skin- is smeared all over with grease, the eyes closed with sticking plaster and the ears stuffed with cotton wool. A tube betweetg the lips, and another in the nostril, prevents suffocation, whilesilk threads are placed on the skin before tire plaster is put on to make it easy to remove when the "sitting” is over. Masks of women made in this way are often finished off with wigs, while those of men may be adorned with hats, Their terrible rigidity and death- like pallor have an effect which is both weird and gruesome tothe last de- gree, But the sculptor could not get orders for statues and he had to live. So he started this business, which bids fair to become far more remunerative than the mere carving of marble, A Month Later. Anna ---"It's such a pity you were sick at Easter and couldn't wear your new spring hat" Anne—"Yes—and now it's entirely out of style!" Minard's Liniment Relieves Pain. A Returned Evil. An American tourist was shown to a room in a hotel in Brussels, where he found twenty candles stuck in a chan- delier. As it was dark, the attendant lighted them all, but the guest had been in European hotels before and made him put them out immediately. This was of no avail, however,. In his bill next day he found them charged— 'Twenty candles, ten francs" (two dol- lars). He went back to the room and took out all the candles, wrapped each one in a bit of paper and slipped them into his overcoat pocket. When ho was about to leave the house he found the servants dra,wn up in two lines in the hall, ten men servants on one side, the maid servants on the other, all smiling and ready for the expected tip. Then he drew out his package and dis- tributd the candles, one to each.. "Al- low me, monsieur," he said, with a bow; "permit me, madame. They are very superior candles. I can assure you, I paid ten cents apiece for them." Then he stalked out and left them all staring at the candles like a set of wooden images.

Is Britain becoming higher in the north and lower in the south? Scien- tists say that it is. Recently anumber of readings have been taken to find out the height above sea -level of the land In various districts, The results show that since the last readings were taken, about fifty years ago, the North of Scotland has risen about half an inch, while the South of England has sunk by rather less than that distance. It is already an accepted fact that land is rising and falling in other parts of .the world. The eoast of Nor- way, for instance, is rising about half an inch a year, while the coast of Hol- land is sinking by that amount. Britain once formed part of the mainland of Europe. The land in be- tween gradually sank until the sea covered it and farmed the English Channel and the North Sea. Such earth movements, gradual or convulsive, are in operation ceaseless- ly upon the earth's surface. Their im- pulse seemingly arises from the fact that, the core of the earth being of heavier material than the crust on which we live, the latter naturally re- sponds to the expansion or shrinkage of the mass, largely metallic, which it surrounds.

My nerves were too terrible for words and I sim- ply could not stand or walk without pains. I suffered with fainting spells until I was no longer any good for my household duties and had to take to my bed. The doctor said I should have an operation, but I was notin a fit condition at that time. My neighbor said, 'Why don't you try Lydia E. Pinkharn's Veg- etable Compound? I am sure it will do you good and will save those doctor's bills.' So I was advised by my husband to try it after I told him about it. I am very thankful to say that I was soon able to take a few boarders for a while as rooms were scarce at that time. My baby is 17 months old now and I have not yet had an operation, thanks to your medicine. I have recommended the Vegetable Compound to a few people I know and have told them the good it has done me. I know I feel and look a dif- ferent woman these last few months and I certainly would not be without a bottle of your medicine in the house.
