Racial Origin -Irish and 8cottlsh. Source—Given Names. There are two 'sources to the family names in this group, both of. them Gae- lic. Strictly speaking, the family name of MacMorran does not belong in the same group with the others, but se the epellings are so similar they are likely to become confused, and un- denbtedly have done so many times in the past. The name MacMorran is Scottish, and is borne by a branch of the Clan Mackinnon. The Hghland designation of the sept is the "Chlann Mhoirein," distinguishing it as the descendants of. a chieftain named ' "Moghran," a name which translated literally, nieans "slave of theeseal." The names Moran, O'Moran and Morrin are Irish, and are of entirely different derivation.

The Ua' or "o" sig- nifies "descendants" and "Morale" is the possess4ve case of the given name "Moran," a tranlation of which would be "a multitude." The thoughts embodied in the orig- inal meaning of many of these Celtic given names are no more difficult of oomprelienefon than those which mark the ancient Teutonic or even the He- brew names. It le no more strange that ancient Gothic parents should have named a child "Multitude" than that ancient Gothic parents should have named theirs "Resolute Helmet," which is the meaning of the name William. There was, of course, a poetic or romantic significance in the origin of all given names, in that dawn of human hi5rbory when men, not hav- ing names ready made for them as to- day, had to invent them. OGDEN. Variations — Hogg, Hogue, Hogarth, Hogshaw, Hogman, Hoggart. Racial Origin—Middle English. Source -An animal, Ogden and the foregoing variations of this family name developed prob- ably through several different pro- cesses, but in all cases from the same source, the name of an animal, which unfortunately has a savory name with us to -day only when we think of it in connection with eating, namely, the hog. But if proof were necessary to es- tablish that this ancient friend of man held an horored position in the lang- uage of the middle ages, it would be only necessary to call attention to the great number of family navies which have developed from him. ID,deed King Richard III, was widely and wiIlingly known as "Richard le Hog," and there's many a family among the no- bility of Europe which proudly bears the boar upon its crest. .A. boar, of course, is nothing but a hog, and though in modern times it has taken on the meaning of "wild hog," no suck distinction was made in 1.:_e olden days. Ogden was originally spelled "de le Hogedene." The "done" of those days was a sheltered depression in the woods. The modern word is• "den." Hoggart, and in some cases Ho- garth comes from "le Hogeherde," "the herder of hogs"; though iu other cases Hogarth traces back to "de la Hoge - Garth," the word "garth" being the progenitor of the modern word "yard," through a usual changing of the "g" to "y," and the ".th," which was then pro- nounced "t," to a "d." A. "salaam' was very similar to a "dene." Hence Hogshaw. The varia- tions Hogg and Hogue undoubtedly de- veloped from the use of a picture of the animal by a merchant or inn -keep- er on the sign before his place of busi- ness.

The "Paris" is French in every line and detail. The furnishings, ' the cuisine, the conveniences, the com- fort, the atmosphere of culture and luxury are essentially French. When you walk up the gang -plank you are in France! You enjoy six days of your visit to France before you ever set foot on her soil. Famous Parisian decorators have made the cabins de luxe as fascinating as the rooms of any great chateau. In the magnificent dining salon one recognizes the same Old World cour- tesies that make dining so delightful in famous Parisian cafes and hotels, and the same masterpieces of culinary art are offered for the traveller's en- joyment. The kitchens of the "Paris" are a marvel—ranges of polished steel and gleaming nickel—long rows of steam serving tables—devices for timeing the cooking of delicacies—white-clad chefs who take pride in their work of converting raw material into tempt- ing dishes. On the "Paris" children have the happiest of voyages. Governesses who speak both English and French take entire charge. They teach French, or- ganize games and supervise the child- ren at mealtime.

How many people would associate the word "pencil" with a peak or a headland? The word is derived from the nature of the districts, where slate is quarried, for the earliest pencils on record were made from slate. The word "pen" de- notes a headland on the coast, or a peak in the country, and it is from these old rock formations that the ma- terial is quarried. In this way we find such names as Penrith, Penmaen- mawr, the Pennines, and Penzance, all of which have at one time or another been actively associated with the slate industry. In the manufacture of the modern "lead" pencils, the plumbago from which the wilting portion is made is also quarried in these regions. The Magic Name. I heard the wind go crying through the grass And making little sounds like any child; The yellow leaves would hardly let me pass Until I told them why I walked and smiled. And when I spoke your name to them, the wind Broke into laughter as a child who stands And sees a butterfly, while far.:. behind The yellow leaves were clapping tiny hands. —Herbert S. Gorman.

Many people, after'they have boast cd of their good luck, proceed to "touch woori." So, did 'cur remote an-; eesters,'the tree wofs'bippers. An authority on Such matters wrote: "The remarkable similarity in customs all over Europe points to the conclu- sion that tree -worship was an import- ant element in the early religion of mankind, espe ialiy of the Arvan stock, and the singular uniformity of rites and ceremonies which can easily be shown to exist in widely separated countries warrants us in believing they cannot have changed- mach from very r mote ages; and that the prac- tice s c ntinuod down to a very recent perio some even among ourselves— were substantially identical with the rites and ceremonies observed by Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks, and Ro- mans." The primitive belief was that spirits resided in trees. Without this s c . ea e ng entirely lost, there came the period of the Sacred Groves and the Druids' Oaks; and then the dedication of certain sorts of trees to the earliest and simplest form of super- stition. We touch wood to call the attention of the tree spirit to the fact that we recognize his influence in the good Iuck of which we boast, and in order that he may not feel slighted and change our good fortune into bad; at least, th.at is why our ancestors touched wood.
