Besides being a writer of distinction
Mme, Jane Misfile is 'said to be the
only woman newspaper editor in Paris.
She is in full charge of the woman's

is in some measure responsible for the
iuccees and circulation of that periodi-
cal.
In addition to her editorial duties
she devotes a large portion of her time
to the feminist movement in Prance,
and she was one of the delegates to

A beautiful and moving story comes
to us from one of the African missions.

for a villager that,thad been determined-

After a tedious journey he reached
the village l ith liis four bearers carry-
ing his tent and the other necessaries.
'their arrival 'was tate signal for a
great gathering of little black children,

notice of him for fear of frightening

'dimes and Their
Origin
. SPOON ER
Racial Orlgln—English.
Source—An occupation. Family •names, particularly -those
which are derived from occupations,
conceal within themselves many inter-
esting'side lights -'on the babas and
customs' of an age now dim in history.
It's one of those .obvious family
names It comes from the word
spoon" :(reference being to the uten-
sil, not the' aption-). If family naines
were., being formed to -day there would
be none of thie.one,_forthough there
are millions more spoons in use to -day
than there were in the Middle Ages,
where to -day will you find a spoon -

no "Porkers" to -day? Because in the
Middle' Ages, in England at least, the

SUTTON
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A focality.
There are not many persons who can
guess offhand the original meaning of
the family name of Sutton, unless,
om
perhaps, they see it inthe, c p an Y of
such names as Easton and' Weston.
Yes, that is it, "Smithtown" ' would
' spelling he the full and modernspec ng of the
name, which, from being the name of
a place, has aleo become the name of
many persons whose anceetors• hailed
from :that place::
There is an erroneous idea, still quite
widespread, that names originally bear-
ing a prefixed "de" were by virtue of
this "de" indicated aa of 'noble" orifi-
Nothing could be further frcin;the
truth eveu ugh it is true that most
le families bore'sur-
of the. ancient.npb
names so prefixed.
The"de" meant to the, people of Nor-
man England 'exactly what it means to
the -people of Franceto-day. It meant
"of," and nothing more. "William de
Sutton' 'Means "William of Sutton!'

Lettuce is Rich in Iron.
To say of a man of unusual strength

grains are indispensable to lite, and
a material reduction in 'the quantity
means' immediate loss of strength and

But people cannot eat iron, and 'the
problem therefore is to get the iron in
some: form or combination which" ide

the problem by providing vegetables

of iron to be of service, •,
Lettuce is one of the.nrore important
and common of these vegetables; even
though it contains only one part of
iron in 50,000 of the raw -Substance, ac-
cording to analyses recently made by
a. `Scientist. 'This is•, a much smaller
proportion • of iron than that existing
in the human body, yet lettuce is- -a

Few people realize how a ship is

Its errors are numerous and trouble-

vary with the place the compass occu-'
pies in the ship; with her heading at I

with the temporary movement of- iron
