The Anglo-Saxons had little of a elan system after they had settled down fol- lowing their conquest of the ancient Britons,. Never a very strong OT riaid system, it virtually disappeared with the settlement of England. Neverthe- less, here and there families and groups ,,,of families, and ' sometimes whole communities, kept alive one of the old clan names. For the mostpart they were not exactly family names, and indicated aothing more than the loosest and most later/nal elan organi- zation. Yet some few of them persist- ed right through the period of NOT111a.11 conquest and domination, to emerge as real family names at a later period. These ancient Saxon tribal names all: ended in "hag," more anciently "ingas," The "Dunningas," or "Dunnings, like the Brownings, ef course, meant "the dark people," or the "brown people."

It was quite common in the middle ogee, when spe,akin•e, of a man, to refer to seine well-known characteristic, of his, whether mental, moral or physical, in order to distinguish him in the hearer's mind from other men of the same given name.

While forest, experiment stations, like agricultural experiment etatione, have long been known in Europe they are new in Canada. The Dominion Forestry Branch iot the Department of the Interior has two such s-tations, oae at Petawawa Ontario, and the other at Lake Edward, Quebec, with sub- statione located in other provinces. At these stations every feature Of forest growth is studied; just as agricultural etatiOns and experimental farms. As the agricultural stations have added to the value cif farm mops by introduc- ing new varieties and new metheds„ so, it is expected, the forest experiment stations will increase the quality and quantity of forest crops by diecover- Ing what varieties do best in certain locarities, and by. finding out what methods of seeding, planting, mixing easpecies, thinning, draining. ete.. new forests, can be grown most rapidly to take the place of those cut down and destroyed by lira 'GUARD BABY'S HEALTit " THE SUMNER The summer months are the most dangerous to children.
