It is a mistake to think that ariae- mia is only a girl's eomplaint. Girls S probably show the effect of weak, watery blood more plainly than boys. But many boys in their teens grow thin and weedy, showing that theY ve not enough blood, or that it is thin and watery. Let the boy in this condition catch cold and lie will lose his strength and les health, beconaes precarious, To overc,onie this trouble give both your weak boys and girls Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see "how soon good appetite returns and the weak boy or languid girl becomes full of activity and high spirits. Mrs. P. Garvey, R,R. N. 5, IVfono Mills, Ont., tells what this medicine did for her young son. She saysa--"Tilaree years age, my little boy, who •was thee 11 Years old, Was very pale and weak, he weald take faieting spells and com- plained of a pain about his b,eart. One day a lady friend who noticed his run- down condition told me her daughter had been in a similar state and found new health through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I therefore got a supply for my boy, and by the time the first box was used his appetite seemed better, and by the time he had taken half a dozen boxes everyone was surprised at the change in his condition, he Was such a fine, healthy looking boy. He had - grown tall and stout, with no ',signs of his former run-do-wn condition. I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are unexcelled for anyone weak and 'run down." , • Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box Or six boxes for $2.50afrom The Dr. Williams'. Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Leng before the train. steams int Southampton the giant funnels of the world's great wonder linens loom up in the distance, towering above tbe port, and dwarfing all the surrounding build - lugs into more specks. The new 1,3outh of Engla,nd home for these floating towns la the baby of Bri- tish seaports, but the near future will witness great changes. When the new suPerclocks are finished another town will be added to the port, at the far end of the harbor, at a cost of nearly thirty millions, and there will be no finer sealeirt in the whole world. Six out of seven of the world's big- gest ships—the Majestic, Berengaria., Aquitandas Olympic, Homeric, and 1Vlauretania.—have made -the port their headquarters, and, incidentally, the mecca of the American passenger ser- vice. During the season it is possible for thesegreat ships to bring from across seas every week 20,000 passen- gers, a number which represents, the size of many inland towns. A Sixteen -Ton Loaf! The Majestic is the laSt word in ship building. Apart from her colossal ton- nage -56,000 tons registered, weight, but which could be increased to 64,000 tone if necessary--th'e vessel is mam- moth in' every way. Her boilers for driving the 100,000 horse -power tur- bine engines cover no less than five acres, '• and perform the miracle of pushing this floating town, numbering 5,000 persons all told., through the water at more than twenty-six miles an hour, faster than the average train. It took 85 miles of steel tubes to fit her boilers), and 60,600 fire bricks for ,the furnaces, enough to build seve-ral houses. The anchors and cables) are the largest in the wericl and weigh in all 230 tons, the weight of one of the battleships in Nelson's time. Inragine the great provision store's aboard one of these ships. It takes over 12 tons of fresh meat to feed the people on board, and something like 50,000 eggs are used on every voyage of five days. Fancy 14 tons of milk and a loa,f weighing. le tons! It takes all this, to feed the population, equal t� that of a small country town, crossing the Atlantic. Even and is Being "Made." The six' ships' "at home" in South- ampton. would weigh •neatly 300,000 tons between them, If they were put send to end one' would have to walk a mile to get twin one end of the queue to the other. If one „of these ships were to be put down in. Trafal- gar Square, Nefson's Monument would not reach the top of the funnels. In fact, the Majestic is 180 •times• bigger than Nelsen's old flagship, the Vic/tory. If the liner were put on end it -would be six and a half times higher than the famous sailor's monument, These - massive ships glide alongside the docks as easily as -trains run into stations,,nd it ds rare, indeed, if they are a few minutes behind the adver- tised time. Within an hour of the landing of the "town" there is hardly a trace left of its hundreds) of inhabit- ants; they are seeding away to vari- ous parts of the country, unconscious of the romance they have been enact- ing. k To make Southampton the first sea- port of the world the town authorities, together with the South -Western. Rail- way Company, intend to do things an be sitmer-scale. 'Plans have been pass- , ed to build great docks and piers on the flats to the west of the harbor. It means that 480 acres Of land have to ' be reclaimed front the sea, and made flt for the building of a now seaport, Mothering the Majestic, - The docks have bean planteci to take the largest ves[sel eyee likely to be built, and anew floating cloak is to be built which Will pidk up the) 56,000 ton -Majestic ant of the sea as if she were a cerk, This 'dock alone is cOs'ting • tool.° than a mihlion to -build' ) 'The five -great piers which are to be ' the berths of these floating towns are to be similar to those of New York, only much finer and loriger, They will face oceanwards, so as to give the greatest convenience to th,e incoming, ships.

Racial Origin --English. Source—A given name. This is an English family name wide- ly known, but one which might well give you semething to puzzle over in its origin, Or at least in one of its origins, for it has two. As you might see, if you went care- fully over a map of Northern England, there is a locality in Northumberland which bears this name, and undoubted- ly in many instances the family name came into being in the form "de Swin- burn," indicating that the bearer had come from this place, The other origin is only revealesi up- on more painstaking research. It lies 121 a Norse given name of which we of to -day might well be par- doned foe not knowing—the name of Sveinbjorn," the meaning of which was "young bear" or "boy -bear." In the north of England, as well as along the west coast of Scotland, the Norse influence was at one time very strong. In fact, numerous expeditions of the 'Vikings left settlers in many localities, thereby bringing as much in- fluence upou the nomenclature of Eng - lead and Scotland ite did the Danes. The given name of "Sveinbjorn" would naturally, within a, few genera- tions, be softened into an Anglo-Saxon form, and then, following the period of Norman dominance, oonie to the sur- face filially as Swiniburn. " Avedenorwrosmwm.Wra,mmtvene DABNEY Variation—Abney. Racial Origin—French and Norman- French. , Source—A locality. Th•ere is something English -sound- ing abont bo'tli of these family names. But you can't always go by the sound of,a name, nor yet by its spelling. Au.d many names originating outside the tangue when transferred into it so change in their spelling as to be unrecognizable unless you tra,ce them back to their sources. In France, in the department of Ber- ry, there is a city called Aubigny. It is the name of this city from which these family names. come. ITniese you search th9 records in the ie.dividual cases -there is no way of telling just whengthe name came into the Eiglish from the French. With the foregoing - 'Spellings, it seems fairly reasonable to- suPPose that they did so s•ome, time , ago, for in later yeans the tendency has been to prese)rve French shelling , rather more than has been the ease here. In Some caea,s the name may have come over in Norman time. Xis others it may have been brought into England by Huguenot refugees. Originally, "D'Aubigny," it is quite clear that the name indieated the bear- i er has come from that plaCe. In some instaia,ces the prefixed "d" was i COr- a porated in -the name, giving the form Dabney. In others it was dropped, making the name Abney. The former is more common than the latter.
