Racial Origin—Norman-French and Anglo-Saxon, Source—An occupation. As might bo expected, the family Game of Porter had its origin in the occupation of porter. Title, liowever, Would really be a better term than oc- eupation, for in the middle ages, under Lhe Norman-French 'feudal system of military -social organisation, the porter was a person of military importance. In these days the word had none of its modern meaning. The porter was not a bearer of burdens. He was the military oilicer in charge of the guard at the gate, or "port," of the castle. Tile Anglo-Saxon equivalents of this title were "dere-ward" and "doze- man" (door -ward and door -man), and family .names developed from them are frequently met with. But the name of Porter is far more widespread to -day than the others, and there is -,p reason. There was a period of two centuries or more in England in which the Norman conquerors spoke only French, .'the language which they- brought: across the channel with them, and Anglo-Saxon was spoken by the conquered population. The nobility, of course, was almost without exception of the former race. Hence in the castled, where the port- ers' duties lay, only French was spoken, and naturally the French title prevailed. Later, of course, owing to the political severance of Normandy from England, the two tongues• cone: biped into 'a mixture that was basical- ly Anglo-Saxon and from which mod- ern 'En,glish has d 'veloped. But by that tinge• the word "porter" had be- come tligroughy fixed. The name wae, of course, purely descriptive at first and it is found in the old Teeords'in the form ""Nicholas le Porter." LEE Variations—Leigh, Lea, Atlee, Atiey Atlay, Delay, Lay. .,. Raciai Origin—English.

Why We Blush: Any shack or emotion which makes the heart pump , an extra supply of blood into the aeteries and veins, which supply the face will give rise to blush - beg. The emotion, of course, must be one of the variety which causes the li,eart to beat faster than usual. Excitement; embarrasiaament, or anger will cense this, while:feiar, which retards the ac - ion of the heart, will produce 'a; pale White look. - Because the shock or emotion must. be 'one to which we are not nccus tomed, some persons blush far more: readily than others. A person. who is net in the habit of listening to certain language will bush from embarrass men,t when he hears it the first few times, but if the .experience is con- tinued he will, become hardened and lose the ability to blush—which is the reason that blushing is considered to be one of the attributes of innocence, The new London Directory contains 174 columns of Smiths ei7oaged in business in London. Not long ago a burglar was identified through particles of grease scraped from a cable along which he had slid in an attempt to reach a goldsmith's window. In another case a murderer left his vest in the room in which his victim was discgvered. The expert picked it up, and in the laboratory placed it in a paper big. The dust collected after beating the bag proved, under a micro- scope, to be full of minute particles of 'wood. Obviously, the murdered was either a carpener er a cabinntiiaaker.
