Racial Origin—Norman-French. Source—A nickname. The family name of Ruseeli is, in a Renee, akin to that of Reid, and its variations, Reed and Read. It comes from an old English word meaning red," whk7h, however, was of Nor- man rather than Anglo-Saxon speech. This word was "rouse," and has sure' rived to -day only as "russet," with a «GOLDEN -brown toast, crisp and piping hot, may be made right at your • breakfast table, with the Hotpoint Reversi- ble Toaster."

As might be expected it was, to- gether with the sobriquet "Ie )3ede," just about as widespeead as red hair was, for apparently. ,there is no per- sonal eharacteristio which the human eye singles out more quickly in a man to differentiate him from his fellows than a red head. • The name "le Rouse" and "le Rus- sel" appeare frequently in the old re- cords,_ the so-oalleld "Hundred Rolls," the "Muniments Gild Lallac Londonien- sis" (Minutes of the London Guild- hall), eto. An explanation for the name Russ, which form is also found among the old reoords, but an explanation'tvhich probably bas little foundation of fact, is that this name was derived from the nationality of one of the original bearers; in other words, that it means "the Russian." While a great many names are known posltiveay to have taken their origin from nationality, the evidence le against the claim in this case, for it was not customary among the medieval Hinglis'h who knew little of the lands to the east of them beyond the shores of Germany, to make any distinction between the races inhabiting thele, all of whom they referred 'to as Esterlings, or Easterlings. This objection, however, does not apply to the explanation in oases where the name has come to the United States from other countries. PALMER Variations—None. Racial Origin—Medieval English. Source—Descriptive. Palmer is a very appropriate family name for a crusader. Its origin is traced straight beak with little varia- tion or change to the days when the spirit of fighting religion swept over all Europe and crusade after crusade was launched at the Tusk with the object of winning hank the Holy Land. One very old English document, dating from Norman-French days, gives a list of named•, among which is one Hervey le Palmer. Another men- tions a Geoffrey le Palmere, while an old document of Parliament speaks of John le Paumer, Harvey the Palmer, Geoffrey the Palmer and John the Palmer.

The descriptive appellation of pal - mer quite naturally developed into a family name on a very large scale,. In the first place, there were Many pil- grims. In the second place, the man who had made the pilgrimage was like- ly to be considered the moat thwart - ant member of his family for several. generations before and after, and therefore the most likely individua], in his family to perpetuate his name. to the extent of its being permanently accepted in the course of years as the family name. EASILY FAtIGUED AND DESPONDENT A Condition Known as General Debility Due to Watery Blood. General debility is a term used to describe a weak and run down condi- tion of the system. Debility may come from a number of causes. The after effects of acute illness, lack of nourish- ment due to poor digestion, overwork or worry, or anything that makes the blood thin, thereby preventing it from carrying' nourishment and health to the tissues of the body. The symp- toms of debility vary, but weakness is always 'present, often a tendency to be easily fatigued, spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wake- fulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep. Mr. Lorena L. Gamache, Rockland, Ont., was a severe sufferer from this trouble and tells how he found release. He says:—"Two years ago I was in that condition which medioal men call general debility. I made periodical visits to Montreal for fourteen months to undergo electrio treatment. At the end of this time I was feeling well and thought with proper care I would con- tinue in good health. But in the course of a month or so the symptoms came back more acute than ever. I lost ap- petite and could hardly sleep during the night, and what sleep I had was disturbed with hightmares. I had headaches and the least effort was telling on my nerves. I always felt pains somewhere, and had to lose much time. After suffering for three months, trying various things without good results, I was terribly depressed and disheartened, One day I met a friend who noted how pale and thin I was and he so strongly recommended Dr. Williams' Pink. Pins that I deter- mined to give them a fair trial. I got six boxes and began the treatment at once. After I had taken four boxes I began to notice an improvement In my health. I could sleep better, and I scarcely had a headache. Since that time my health has been steadily im- proving and now I feel jut as well as ever. I have gained twenty pounds since I began the treatment. Now I would not be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the home, and strongly recommend them to all who suffer from a depressed system and the aches that follow." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cis. a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvile, Ont. Most Unfortunate. Huskisson was very proud of his son and heir, who had only arrived at his house a few months. He was never happier than when he wasshowing off his a,on's good points. Bagshaw was among the party of inspection. "Well, Bagshaw," said, Huslrisson, as he proudly showed off the wonder - child, "what do you think of that for a strapping Iad?" Bagshaw made no repay. "Think he looks like me?" persisted Huskisson. "I -I'm — well—er--ha--hum — .well, Huskisson—well, old pal, to tell you the truth, J'm afraid he does." . His Hearing- Restored.

For every 100 women in Canada there are 105 men. So Canada'soivea the problem of importing women from England as was done 300 years ago by the American colonies. ud the plan suits England, f8i statisticians estimate England has a surplus of 2,000,000 women. Parties of women and girls are formed in England, brought to Canada under reliable es - cora and offered jobs in whatever line of work they may ohoose. As each ship lands, scores of housewives are on hand to hire servants, and farmer*, to offer them jobs in the rural dis- tricts, says Capper's Weekly. So far as the marriage question is concerned, the women have proved able to take care of that detail. Records show that most of the girls are married within a year and settle down on farms of their own. She Knew Sheep. After the city -fired young woman was -put in charge of a country school, to the class in arithmetic she said: `Now, -children, if there are ten eheep on one fade of a fence and one jumps over, how many sheep will be left?" "No sheep, teacher," answered a tow -headed little lass of ten summers. "Oh, no!" cried the city young wo- man, reproachfully. 'You are not a0 stupid as that! Think again. If there were ten sheep an ono side of tho fence and one sheep jumped over, nine sheep would be left. Don't you see that?" "No! no! nal" persisted the child. "If ono sheep jumped over, all the others would jump after it. My father keeps sheep." Then, seeing the puzzled look on the teacher's face, the little tow -head ex- plained apologetically: "You know arithmetic, miss, but I know sheep." Michael Was Mystified. Mirhael's mother had married again, and though Mi•ehael did not object to Ms new father, he was somewhat puz- zled as to the relationship. "Mother," he said, "is this man my 'stepfather?" "Yes, dear; he's your stepfather." "Well, mother," continued the child, "you call me your little lad." "Yes, dearie, you are mamma's, lit- tle lad." 'Then, mother," continued Michael, "I suppose I must be my stepfather's little stepladder." Couldn''t Be Mistaken. An American woman went to Scot- land to visit some friends. When she returned one of her friends accom- panied her. As they neared New York the Ameri- can woman said: "In a little while we shall see Sandy Hook," "Oh!" said her Scottish friend. "Do not tell me when, because I am sure I would know a Scotsman anywhere." 41) I9 1iiflili t'"iit The Safesand Pest Family Medicine i1111illilhl1hill!ihflC11111ifillililiillllllfll11111111111f II11IIi1iiilihl1111111111Ql(1 Very Appropriate.
