Londou — Modern psychology has,
shown that the attitude of any man
towards the problems of life and the
degree of courage with which he
meets those problems depend almost
entirely en the, conditions under
which he has spent his earliest years,
writes "A Mother" In Daily Frxpress.

lessons of work and livelihood, and
from both parents together his at-
titude towards sex:

with some one all his life; his broth-

and harmfulness.
The importance of the behavior
of parents towards one another and,
towards their children cannot be
over -emphasized.
The home is the first unit of society-
with which the child comes in con-
tact, and it is there that he learns
ineradicable lessons of behavior.
If he is set an example of dignity,
courage, and good manners he will
take that example as his own stand-
ard of behavior. If, on the other
band be meets with intolerance,
shreiking and squabbling, these things
will be the foundation on which the
conduct of bis life will be built.

such _names as Bear, Beaver, Crane,
Swan, Drake, Pigeon, Otter, Oyster,

Occasionally, a family name of the
most inconsluous sort survivesfor
generations. Until 1861, the name of
"Hell -Cat" was to be found in the di-
rectory of Manchester, Eng. It had a
curious origin; in the beginning, cer-
tain members of this family were
credited with occult powers of a kind..
to enable thele to transform them-
selves into cats at will. Their des-
cendants were proud of this tradition
and retained the name up to a period
when it appeitrecl ridiculous and must
have proved a considerable embar-
rassment.
There is some doubt as to whether
such names as Black, Brown, or White
were originally conferred in the sense
of color or complexion. One Stephen
Black in the Norman period was, con-
spicuous for his dark features and is
