Develops Syrmpatheiic Under. standing of Canadian Agri- culture in British Isles' It has been officially announced that His Royal 'Highness the Prieto of Wales is 1.0 visit Canada In. the early ailtulne and spend a front holiday on his ranch in Southern Alberta. The visit is to be of a purely private na- tum, without official engagements of any kind, and the Prince will come to Canada on this n ee:filen not as the, heir to the Br'itish throne, but as a Canadian agriculturalist: This Is one further proof given of -lits deep attach- ment to the little E. 1z. Ranch in the Alberta foothills. The Prince 0f Wales has never ceased' to exhibit a deep stud marked interest' in the ranch he purchased on his ;memorable tour of the Canadian. Dominion, and fresh indications are periodically given of the 'importance he attaches to it and the work: it is ' doing. For the establishment of the ranch, its maintenance, and the breed - g of superb cattle and horses was e then a matter ofsentiment or of .elc profit, profit but a movement im genuine desire to foster the breed- ing of better live -stock in the West, and In the brief time which has elapsed since the Prince's Canadian visit, the ranch has -come to be a not u nimportant factor in the promotion of Western' Canadian animal husban- dry. Immediately after. he had purchased the ranch, and before returning to England, the Prince made arrange- ments for the shipment of some of the best specie in BritishIsles to the .Canadian West. Thoroughbred horses came from the Royal stud, Shorthorns from the King's farm, Shropshire sheep from the Duke of Westminster's ee+ba,to, and hardy, rugged. Dartmoor ponies from the Devon moors, a type of animal previouslymarknown in Can- ada. From time to time since then, fresh additions• of the most excellent stock bave been made. The work still continues. The latest importation consisted of a thorough- bred stallion and four fares, some of the finest stock procurable from the studs of the British Isles, "Will 1 Somers,” the superb animal which is , to head, the stud at the 17. P. Ranch, is a randsome five-year-old which at three years was the winner of several English racing classics. The mares are worthy mates for' such a sire. Other importatione made at i he same time consisted of over forty head of pure-bred' Hampshire sheep and twen- ty-three head of Shorthorn cattle from the Royal farms of England.

In an area such as Western Canada, which has for years devoted itself to the elevation of ,the quality of live- stock and has become internationally. famous for the superior type Of its horses and cattle, importations must 3m of an outstanding distinctiveness to be worthy of special note, but this the D. P. Ranch has effected. At Al- berta provincial exhibitions the ani- mals from the High River ranch are attractive features. Last fail, at the Shorthorn cattle sale et Calgary, animals from the Prince's establishment commanded top prides, though these constituted only the first commercial salesthe ranch had effected. The same was evidenced in the lirat. sale of Alberta -bred Sheep- - shire sheep in the, early winter. Again,. at the spring cattle shows in Alberta, animals' from .the same ranch headed exhibits. As an indication of the man- ner in which the stock of the E. P. Ranch batsachieved a reputation abroad, a consignment at pure -brad animals was -not long ago sent upon request to the Universety of Idaho, where it; to. he used for the Improve- ment of local stock. King purchases Canadian Cattle. In its brief history the 37. P. Ranch has enure to play an important part in the Western Canadian Live -stuck in- dustry. Its establishment was an In- dication of the importance attached to agriculture in the Dominions- of the Empire,' its co•nt•Lnuannce and promo- tion an encouragement tg the Western live -stock industry, faith In' its future, and a stimulus to the attainment of perfection in breeding. It has done not a little in the development of a more sympathetic understanding for Canadian agriculture in the British Is•yes: Further proof of the manner in which Bri'tish' and Canadian • agricul- ture are being drawn closertogether through the Royal farming establish- inmate was. given when, a shipment of Canadian store cattle, drawn from all the Dominion experimental farms from Lethbridge, Alberta, to KSntville, Nova.f3cotla, was sold at Norwich, Englund. making the first sale at that ' place since 1895, and a number of ani- mals were purchased far the King's farm aft Sandringham, The Mouths of Babes.

Racial Origin—Krish. Source—A given name. Like virtually every Irish surname, the name of Maguire was at first the name of a cyan, far unbil as late as the Sixteenth Century, there was still 1:11 existence in that country a clan sys- tem closely similar to that of the Scottish Highlands. In fact, the High- land clan system is but a Aleve?opinent of the Irish system, brought to the highlands by the invaders and settlers from the north of Ireland•. Among the most powerful of the ancient Irish clans and one which fur- nished many of the "High -Kings" un,- der whom the Irish -kingdoms were milted In a sort of empire for a period of nearly 3000 years were the C'%larts. Al nearly as can be ascertained, it was early in the Ninth Century A.D. that the chieftain "Odhar,' a member , of this clan, obtained a sufficient num- her of followers. to establish, under the prevailing laws and customs, a clan of his .own. In forming the clan name by prefixing "Mal"' indicating "descend- ants of" cr "followers' of," the com-1 1 bination had to lee made with the pas -I i nm sessive case of the name. The posses-, sive case of "Odhar" waa - "Uldhir," (for the Irish tongue, inits inflection, often modifies the entire word rather' Ithan merely the ending). Thus, the elan name became "Maefildhir," the :pronunciation of which was approxi- mately "Mac -weer." In Anglicizing j the name the "e" became a "g," and I1t was pronounced "Mac-gweer."

"Old Curiosity Shop" Saved From Destruction. Anxiety as to the fate of the little two-story antique. shop in Lincoln's Inn Fields which 1s better-known as the "Old Curiosity Shop," died down when the place was bought recently by J. A. Philips, the London real es. - tate agent, who ha,e. announced. the In- tention of keeping It just as It is and not pulling it down in order to erect a modern- building, wnhich it has been feared would happen., As a matter of fact, there is con- sdderable'.doubt as to whether this is peally the place that was immortalized by Dickens in his novel, the only thing being' known to, a degree of certainty being that the building Dickens wrote about was an old 'one, and that it was somewhere in London within walking, distance of Covent Garden. "Old 'Curiosity' Shop" certainly is old, bat: skeptics maintain that in: the days of Dickens it was not an antique shop,, but the house -of a sign painter. hefty years• ago it was occupied by a person colied Tesseyman, who sold old' pictures and old china; and he it was.

Obeyed Orders. Murphy, a new cavalry recruit, was given one of the worst hooses in the troop. "Remember, said the sergeant, "no one is allowed to dismount without or- ders." Murphy was no sooner in the saddle than the horse 'tithed and Murphy went 'over his head. "Murphy," yelled the sergeant, when he discovered him lying breathless on the ground, "you dismounted." "I did." "Did you have orders?' "I did." "From headquarters?" "No, sor, from hindquarters." Not a Sober Fellow.

In this grouping of family names' convenience of discussion rather than actualrelationhas governed: the e'e•eo- tion of variations, They do not ell; doine from the same given name. But they do come from. given names which themselves were of similar" origin. The derivation` of Freeland looks easy, as a combination of the works' "free" and "land," Doubly wrong! This name is a : vivid example of the fact that while the obvious is often true in the derivation of family names, It cannot by any means be trusted. Freeland is simply a derivation of the: given ,name of "Fridulind," with "Frelond " found in medieval reoorde, ae an intermediary form, Friduland is a combination of the old Teutonic worts, "fride" or "frithe," meaning "pease," and "land,' wheat has a mean- ing of "gentle," 'Flee name does not mean 'free -land.' It means "gentle - peace," or gentle-peace,"'or "peaceful -quietness." Featherston ie but a modern form of the Anglo-Saxon given name of "Frithestan." Say "Frithestan" as' quickly as you can. Slur it over a bit, and, you'll see' how easily it slipped into Featherston, though feathers had nothing whatever to de with it. It meant, of course, "peacestone." 'Free - sten is simply a still further shorten. ling"F. ofrrthestan" Freebody comes from the given name "Frithubodp," which means "ambassador of peace" or "envoy of peace." . And there's the group, without a "free" or a "feather" or a bit of "land" or a "ton" or "town" or a "body" in it anywhere, despite the obviousness of these elements.
