DipiornatIc Triumphs.
As a woman she has achieved great
triumphs. It must be remembered that
she has won her victories alone, she
has had little help• from her husband
n and less from her ministry. Alone
among Ilse monarchs of Europe she
persdnally directs the foreign policy of
her Government and, perhaps at the

Europe who officially affects in any

she has laid the foundation for a

"So it is safe to say that the triumph
of the royal matchmaker is in sight.

sary to achieve empire ---Marie of Ru-

On Sane Land for 900
Years.
The. story - of the Poublan family,
French farmers who have the extraor-
dinary .record of living on the same
terra eines 1028; is told in the Ameri-
can Agriculturist by Bernhard •Ragner,
now In France, who saw the present
day representative of the family, M.
Lacaesles Poublan of Luegarrier, de-
corated by the Minister. offegriculture
et the French. Reputliii:„ Mr. leaguer
calls the achievement "the world's. ag-
rieultural endurance reoord,"
"To this, family belongs the distinc-
tion of having lived In the same haute
and tilled the same soil for a period of
899 years," writes Mr. Ragner.
"That looks like a misprint, but it
isn't, for the family has documents of
undoubted authenticity to prove that
betels in 1023 a Poublan owned and cul-
tivated the nucleus of the present
homestead.
"Joan.of Arc chased the British in-
vader from the soil of France, but the

'Calvin wrote his instithtes and stiniu-
lated the reformation started by Lath-
er and Zwingle but the Poublans sow-

Jacques Rousseau preached his revolu-

tion came, Napolea,n. Bonaparte, like
a gigantic comet of unexampled bril-
liance, flashed across the European
sky; but the Poublans, serenely, loyal-

The farm which the Poublan who
began the fairdly register hequeated
to his heirs is in the department Of
tha Basses Pyrenees near the' Spanish
border. It has increased until it no'n

Surnathes and Their Origin
FERDINAND
Variations Fernon, Fernando, Ver-
non.
Racial OrIgIn--SpanIsh.
Source—A elven name.
This is a family name which conies
to us for the most part through the
Spanish, but, which traces back to the
ancient Gothic 03' Teutonic speech, to
that race of which so comparatively
little is known to -day despite the fact
that it overran 6-e- .greater part of
southern Europe and was responsible
largely for the fall of the great Roman
empire.
Little is known of this race, not be-
cause its blood is not predominating
to -day in many' countries commonly
classed. as "Latin," but simply becauee
upon completion of its conquest it re-
cognised the value of the superior
civilization and language of the Roman
predecessor, and adopted them for the
most part at once. Nimes, however,
were naturally not adopted to the
same extent as speech.
• The Goths had a given emend, "Fer-
honanths," the meaning of which was
"adventuring life," or, in other words,
"courage." • In the 'course of time the
Spanish Goths, among whom it seems.
to have been most popular, simplified
it into "Fenian," and then into "Fele
;sande." Among the more northern
races it became "Ferdinand."
Aud from these given names have
developed the foregoing family names,
in the natural process by which par-
entage was at first indicated, with the
ultimate broadening of application to
include a specific family.
Vernon for the most part does not
belong M this group, but in some in-
stances it ie but a changed spelling of
Ferrier' or Pernan.
MEAD
Varlations—Meadows, Dupre.
Racial Origin—English, also French.
Source—A locality.
It is the variation of Meadows in this
group of family names which gives the
glue to the origin.
These 'mines were, of course, origin-
ally descriptive of the localities. in.
'which their first bearers' lived, arid
were of local nature.
In the days when populations began
to multiply so quickly that there were
not enough given names to go around,
the first result was the multiplication
of given names into variations through
the addition ot diminutive endings and
the use of nicknames. 'But even this
was not enough, and in everyday
speech men found It necessary to in-
dicate which John or Thomas or Harry
they were referring to, This they did
by same reference to parentage or to
the place the man lived, or to his trade
,orsome personal PeeuliaritY.
Thus- such names ' as "Tom atte
IVIeed" Tom at the Meadow) or "Ger-
ald de Mead" (Gerald of the Meadow)
came into being. Possibly it would
pass out of existence with the man
bearing it, and hisson be known as
Geoffrey the Red, or by some other
name. But if the family continued to
reside by the meedow long enough,
„sooner or later the expression "atte
Mead would come to designate the
family and not a mere individual mem-
ber of it, and so would bec.me heredi-
tary and firmly settled in s, few gene -
redone.
The name of Dupre is simply the
French equivalent of the English "of
the meadow."
