One That Enriches the Blood
and Strengthens the Nerves.
Proper food, fresh air and a good
'tonic will keep most people in good
health. Hurried meals, indoor cote
ifinemeutin badly ventilated rooms:
and lack, of exercise causes anaemia,
In this condition Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are a popular tonic. They con-
,`fain no habit forming drugs, and al
ways have a beneficial effect through
enriching the blood and strengthening
the nerves. For growing gins, who
become thin and pale; for pale, tired
women and for old people who fail in
strength, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
an ideal tonic. Their benefit in anae-
mic conditions is shown by the case
of Miss Lucy A. Steeves, Hillsboro,
N.B., who says: "Last spring I was in
poor health, and completely run down..
I had severe headaches, the least ex-
lertion would cause my heart to palpi-
tate violently, my appetite wasepoor,
and at times I had fainting spells.
This went on for some months, and al-
though I was taking medicine, I seem-
ed to be growing weaker, and the least
exertion would leave me worn out.

cine in cases like mine."

Surnames and Their Origin
GORMAN
Variations --O'Gorman, MacGorman.
Racial Origin --Irish.
Source --A given name.
"':'ii'Ciomafn" is the Gaulle form of
this family name. the Anglicized de-
velopment of which vary from the
original principally by the elimination
of the "I" and in most cases the drop--
ping
rop.ping of the "Mac" or the "0."
The given name from which the
;fancily name was formed, at first as a
'clan name, was "Gorman," exactly the
sante as the form of the family name
most frequently met with, to -day. The
ending "main" instead of "man" in the
Gaelic clan name is merely inflection.
,The possessive case of the given name,
of course, had to be used in connection
with the preilx "Mae" ("son of"). The
given name had a meaning of "illus-
trious."
One of the most powerful clans of
ancient Ireland, from both the in-
fluential and numerical point of view,
was that of the "O'Connors," and a
great many of the Irish clans formed
at a later period were branches of the
O'Connors. The ltlaeGormains were
one of these. It was formed, apparent-
ly, about 650 A.D., and its founder was
a direct descendant of "Gathair Mor,"
an O'Connor who was King of Lein -
:ger and the 109th monarch of all Ire-
land in 119 A.D.
The MacGormains themselves, how-
ever, became a very powerful clan
throughout the Middle Ages.
POW ERs
Variations---Porson.
Racial Origin --Welsh.
Source --A given name,
No. The first bearers Of this family
name were not necessarily powerful
num. Tile name is a Welsh one„ and
has no connection with our English
ward "power."
"Powys." was. a ,given name of rather
widespread popularity among the
Welsh of the Middle Ages, having been
the naine of a famous chieftain, a des-
cendant of tbe "Lend," who was the
father of the leader "Mandebrog" of
Welsh tradition, and the "Mandebrati•
us" of the Romans' British history.
The endings of both forms, Powers
and Parson, indicate English influence,
and more than likely developed, for
the most part, in England at first,
whore the natural procedure was to
refer to the son by the name of his
father with the suffix "son" added. It
is to be noted that in the case porson,
whore the pronunciation `was not diffi-
cult, that the ending has been pre-
served. But "Powyrson" is a little
clumsy, and where "Powyr" was not
elided to 'neon" all but the "s" of the
"son" has, been dropped from the end-
ing of the fancily naive at some period
after ft ceased to be truly descriptive•
and settled down into a. sort of "tag"
for the family with the original mean-
ing overlooked.
In some instances, too, the name un-
doubtedly came into being iii Wales at
a later period when English customs
and speech became more general there.

Do you know what constitutes
a strong constitution?
To have sound, healthy nerves, completely under
control, digestive organs that are capable of absorbing
a hearty meal, means you have a strong constitution!
Your general attitude -is one of optimism and energy.
But an irritable disposition, frequent attacks of
indigestion, and a languid depression, indicate your
system is not in correct working order.
Probably you 'are not eating the proper food.
Probably the nutritious elements are not being
supplied to your system in the proper way.

A Just Judge,
In the early mining days of British
Calumbla the adnuintstr'.iltion of the
law, though crude, had its good points.
The trials were short and to the point..
There were none of the "law's delays,"
for generally, being a miner himself,
the judge did not like any too well to
leave his gold sluice and sit la court.
The crown ollioer .appointed the jus.'
tices of the peace; and in snore than'
one camp the "'boys" asked that th
office be given to some pian, who
they counted on to provide not ozu
justice but some entertainment. S
the trials were often amusing as we
as short.
In Cariboo a miner whom we she
call Smith was appointed justice of
the peace who, whatever his tailings,
had wit and a sumo Bense of right and

a mild. but thorough laxative which re-
gulate the bowels and sweeten the
stomach and thus drive out constipa-
e tion and indigestion; break up colds
nI and simple fevers and make teething

o Thebprge, Trois Pistols, Que., writes:
II "I am well satisfied with my use of

Fong. he day a drunken Siwash
named Yakufn rode his cayuse wildly
up and down the street, sheeting at
the top of his lungs, After a lively
fight the men succeeded in locking
him up in jail. The next morning the
policeman told ,judge Smith that he
held the Siwash for further orders.
Now the worthy justice of the peace,
who had also been drinking, was in no
condition to hold court. "Send hint
Nana" he said thickly, "and tell him
to come back to-xuorrow,"
"Why, judge," objected they police-
roen, "lie livens.' Poor unties. out of town."
".Don't ma ex. tell him to return for

but the judge had not recovered and
repeated his order. On the third morn-
ing the court opened, andthe judge
heard the charge. With an air of
dignity he gave hie decision;
"Yabrnu, you have broben the law
of the lead and offended against the
laws of Her Majesty the Queen and
got disgracefully drunk. But I think
you are punished enough, welkin' in
two days to get tried. I discharge
you,"
Then, to the astonishment of every-
one, he exclaimed sternly, "Now, then,
Richard Smith, stand up.' He rose.
"Here you are," be went on, address -

fice. You're a flue bird of a J.P. 1
line you five dollars and costs, seven
dollars and: fifty cents in all." Turn -
Mg, he paid aver the seven dollars and
fifty cents to the clerk, resumed his
seat, and said: "The Ane is paid; the
court's adjourned,"
With huge enjoyment and, let ue
hope, some admiration, the clerk
wrote the whole proceedings into the
records,
Christ Didn't See the Leper.
Christ believed that every man was
a God in the making. That was the
secret of His. healing. He didn't see
the leper; He saw the perfect man,
the God -made man who was intended
to be happy and successful, the man
who came on. earth with a mission,
It He had seen the leper, visualized
hint il) hie horrible symptoms, had
seen the flesh failing off his bones, his
fingers and toes becoming unjointed,
He could never thave healed him. He
did not see the outer man; He looked
beyond that to the reality of him, the
wonderful pian God had made.
The greatest mental healers could
do no healing if they closed their oyes
and visualized their patient's illness,
the cymptoms of some horrible dis-
ease. How could they cure a cancer
by visualizing the awful physical octo-
pus spreading its poison tentacles to
every part of the body, and gripping
-the very vitals, of life? It would be
impossilile. No, the healers do not
see Cancer, or tuberculosis, oi' any
other disease in the sufferer. They.
see the perfect man, God's child, per-
fect and immortal. They know that
health is the everlasting fact, and that
disease is only an appearance.
Making Violins Talk.
To be able to play on a violin with-
out strings, the violinist being in a
distant room, is one of the marvels of
e new discovery by two Danish
scientists.
Briefly, the principle discovered is
that when an electrical "pressure" is
applied between certain substances
they will adhere firmly. Thus a cur-
rent applied in this way to a litho-
graphic stone and a piece of metal will
cause one to stick firmly to the other.
Besides this stone, some kinds of
slate, lime -stone, flint, agate, skin, and
paper;, show the same results. Effects
can be got even with gelatine and bone
and animal membranes, but there is no
attraction in the case of true insulat-
ors,
The violin used is an ordinary in-
strument with the strings. removed.
It is clamped' high up to a table, and
in front of -the instrument` is, placed a
rotating cylinder of agate rubbing
against a piece of metal, whieh• is the
direct player.
The real violinist plays in another
room, ane the reproduction control is
perfect, On this principle the violin
can reproduce the human voice.

A "chop," in China, is a. trademark.
It represents incidentally a guarantee
of value, which may be greater or iess
in proportion to the commercial stand-

silver dollar in that country is chopped
by each firm or money -shop through
whose hands it passes. A clean, un-
chopped dollar is looked upon askance.
The chop affixed may be merely an

a sharp die, defacing the •coin. Thus
