The Amateur. The word amateur is commonly used with slight regard for Its literal sig- ndflcanee. It often Mande as a syno- nym for the duffer, wbose fingers are thumbs, who is maladroit and inept as compared with veteran Bunning, a long and various professional experlenee. We think of the amateur as the re- gretful bungler, who Misses and then stands studldly telling the world how sorry be Is and offering to make it up at another time, which never will ar- rive. But there Is a better and a happier Meaning for the term if we trace it back to its true significance., The amateur is one who truly cares what he is doing. He is the lover—ln love with his Work, in love with Iite, en- thusiastic for the future and' for the calling that he chose. In' this sense and spirit, professional ranks include many amateurs. The pay received has nothing to do -with that spiritual status. Tee amateur carries a flaming zeal into all that be does, He is never lute. warm. neutral, lackadaisical. He does not rate enthusiasm coldly, as a waste of energy.. The energy he gives to each undertaking induces a like pas. cion in those who work beside him, as one electrified wire will induce a our- -rentln a parallel! coil. Where he goes three is movement and progress. The leaders of the race are the real amateurs, who make whatever they do seem not merle the all-important em- ployment but the most enjoyable and the most inspiring thing that any one could do, Their contagious anlmpttoa carries all before it, and the quitters end the doubters are Clamed out of the ranks. They have given the command, and the volunteers, heartened by their example, press forward, certain of vi people tiro experience of Hines H, J,.

Year after year, as folks fare Perth to camp or euntaner cottage, interest in poison ivy revives. Many have yet to learn to recognize these low, buey, slightly-woody-stertwned plants, rising (rain long rootstocks at just below ground level, and bearing the charaer teristie Reaves- of triple,ssnoothish, pointed leaflets, and frequently the old clusters of round, whitish fruits beneath them. Failing to recognize and avold the plants, many people, susceptible to poisoning, find theansel'ves presently interested in remedies. Few seem to be aware that on contact with the weed, or even with shoes, tools, etc., that have been in contact, they should promptly remove all. traces of its 1419.1 - lent oil by freely gathering the skin with strong soap, and rinsing under hot running, or constantly changed water. Inflammation resulting from unsuspected exposure, or neglect of the above precautions, may be relieved by applying solutions of baking soda or Epaom sedtsy on'e or two teas'pconfulg to a oup of water, and bandaging, Various elaborate treatments are of- fered which are seldom any mood' help- ful, or so readily available. It is surprising how few efforts are made to clean up ivy from constantly frequented public and private grounds. Though eradication is bound to be la- borious, there are plenty of people who oou'ld safely work et it. In hard or rocky ground, wherever injury to the self does not matter, dry sail, or strong brine might be applied before growth becomes too dense, or after mcWing it with a scythe. Caustic soda and other poisonous chemicals are al- so Tecomanended. As a rule, however, direct removal of the root -stooks from. the soli, by means of &Tubbing hoe, potato hook, digging or pleughiug, when possible, 1s preferable,- Some- times when growing in leaf molld or rich soil, a«tonisltingly long strands of rootstoclts calif be dragged out in- tact. This Is meet safely and easily done before spring growth commences. Small patches have thus been cleared up at one operation, which would have regttired repeated spraying. A Welcome Blow.

Minard's Liniment for Aches and Pains Smola and Their Origin DRAPER Racial. Origin—Englleh. Source—An occupation. There seems to be an almost never- enrling source of surnames in the oc- cep'ations of medieval England, not wtthstamuling the tact that in those days the number of occupations and professions was more limited than in oar highly specialized iuduetiial and commercial orgenrization of to -day. Draper is one Of these. To the Eng- lishman nglishman the source of this family Warne Presents no mystery, for the word is still .in everyday trade use in his coun- try. But though the same trade exists in the United States, the trade name is seldom met with. The "draper" is a dry goods men chant. And ?ie wens back in the Middle Ages, at the •period when populations began to expand so rapidly that in the individual eommiunities there were not enough given names to go around, and a man's neighbors and acquaintances In speaking of him took to the mention of his occupation or his parentage to ddstdngu[sh him from same other who bare the same given name. Thus the family name of Draper wee originally descriptive of the mercan- tille calling of its bearers, and was pre- ceded by "le" meaning "the." The pre- fix however, in later generations was dropped as useless atter the name be- came' a family one and ceased to be merely desct'ipttve. LLOYD, Varlation—Lhuyd. Racial Orlgln—Welsh. Source—A giver( name or a descrip- tive one. The family came of Lloyd is some- times, though infrequently to -day, spelled Lhuyd. It is a Welsh name, rather common- ly met with in England and partleular- ly 60 in the Central Eastern section of the 'United States, notably in Pennsyl- vania, where the Welsh played an len- Portant part in early colonization. As a family name its use traces back both to the given name, and 10 its use as a deseriptive surname, for the word mieans "brown," and like such Gaelic names as Dougall and Douglas, which meant dark, it became a given- name. Again 11 was used, as "lieu" and "dubh" have been used in Scotland and Ireland, as a sort of surname, descrip- tive either of the personal appearance of the bearer or of that of the particu- lar branch of his family from which he came. In short, in many lhstancee, its de- velopment into a family name has paralleled that of the English family name of Brown, the meaning of which is the sante.

A Russian Meese 011(0 told him that during the dark days of Russia she could not have lived without music, as it tirade her forget her sufferings and misery, Mr. Atkin- son related a number of interesting stories of the Russian people and their manner of living, and gave several In. stances showing their love of music and !tit effect upon them. The greatest agency far the develop- ing of the appreciattoe 0f music was in the schools, and from the schools it would permeate the homes. In a uum- ber of schools in Canada and the United States music was being taught. During the course of a year the pupils were made familiar with about fifty pieces of good music• They were taught something about the various composers and the circumstances urr- der which the number was composed. At the end of a year a contest was held and a number of selections were played for the pupils, who wrote tel names of the selections played an the names of the composers. Se thi plan they were made familiar with th masterpieces of musical literature helped toward the appreciation of goo music. Music was of the greatest im portanee in education and had grea educative value. It improved the mem ory - and the power of concentration and made the pupils better students intellectually and spiritually. In a number of high schools and universi- ties music was made optional instead of some other subject. In concluding, Mr. Atkinson spoke Qt the use of music in industries. In number of factories in the United States and England, as well as in Can oda, a few minutes a day were spent in a general sing -song. Many employers considered this period the most luc tive of the day, because it increased the production and created a bond of agreement between employer and em- ployee. For the employees it gave. them relaxation and added content. ment to the worker. Minard's Liniment for Corns and Warts WE WANT CHURNING REAM We supply cane and pay'erpr0aa charges.
