Surnames and Their Origin
LEACHE
Variations—Leeche, Leechman, Leach,
Barbour.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—An occupation.
Had the words "doctor" or "physi-
cian" bean in use about the eleventh
twelfth and thirteenth centuries in
England, as they are to -day, such
family names as Leache, Leeehe and
Leachman would not exist. Instead
We would have such names as John C.
Doctor, or James J. Physician, or Har-
.rison G. Chirurgeon.
But it was not until the time of
Queen Elizabeth that the words
"phisition" and "chirurgien" (sur-
geon) came into general use, and not
until still later that the physician was
called "doctor."
At, the period when family names
'were being fors £onr there were .no
physicians except the barbers, and the
principal method of treating nearly all
diseases was to bleed the patient with
a leech, a little blood -sucking worm.
The barber was at once the physician
and the "tonsorial artist." He was as
frequently known by the medical
branch of his trade as the other, as
was called the "leachman" as aften
as the "barbour." In the course of
'time the term "leachman" was often
shortened into "leeche" or "leache."
A large factor in settling these old
;trade names into family names was
the fact that children so often follow-
ed •the same occupations as their par-
ents, though in many cases the des-
criptive name would stick to a son
even when he did not fallow his
father's calling, simply through the
sheer necessity of his having more
•than one name at a time when popu-
lations were growing so fast that each
Man could not have a distinctive given
name.
K E L LY.
Variations--O'Kelly, Keely.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
The author of the lyrics of that once
popular ditty "Kelly from the Emerald
Isle" never announced publicly wheth-
er he chose that name for the hero of
his ballad because it fitted the rythm,
or from a more subtle motive.
As a matter of fact, the name was
singularly appropriate to the spirit of
thishumorous jingle of adventure, be-
cause the given name from which the
Kelly group of family names is derived
means nothing more or less than
"strife."
These family names, however, are
very ancient and honorable ones, com-
ing in the majority of cases from the
country about WickloW, in Ireland.
But with them again we have anoth-
er example of the wide difference be-
tween the ancient and' modern spell-
ing, with a difference in pronunciation
which is much less marked. The
given name from which lselly, O'Kelly
are derived is "Ceallach," which cer-
tainly does not look like "Kelly," but
there is really little difference in the
pronunciation of the two. A slight
broadening of the final "y," with the
restoration of the "ch," which is best
described as a softened or aspirated
"k" sound (somewhat similar, but not
quite, to the German "ch") completes
the transformation back to the ancient
pronunciation. The Celtic "c" is al-
ways a "k" sound. There are modifi-
cations, of eourse, but never to our
modern "s" sound. Keely is an An-
glicized version of the name.

The average amount of light obtain-

A Bit Misleading.
When Mary Jeving married 'William
Smythe and was able to have calling
cards with "Mrs. William Symthe" en-
graved upon them, she felt that life
had no higher prideain store for her.
She preserved this attitude through
all the years of her married life.
When 1VIr. Smythe died she was in-
consolable, and even after several
yeans of widowhood she hotly resent-
ed any indication that her friends had
forgotten her lamented 'William for a
moment.
"It makes me so angry," she said to
one whom she suspected of careless -
nese in the matter, "to be spoken of
or thought of as 'Mrs . Mary
Smythe,' It is an insult to William's
memory."
"Oh, I'm sure it's never meant for
that,(" said the friend, hastily. "Only
it's quite customary among certain
people, you know, for a widow to take
her Christia,u name—have letters ad-
dressed to her in that way—and so
on."
"It will never be with. me," said the
widow, indignantly. "I prefer always
to be known as 'the late Mrs. William
Smythe.' "
To Save Time.
Pat was grumbling because he had
no money to spend while on his sum-
mer holidays.
"I don't know what to do," he
groused to his friend Jack.
"Now, Pat," he* said, "you ought to
take your wages to the post -office and
put five or six shillings in every week.
By the time your holidays are due you
will have a comfortable sum in hand."
"Right!" replied Pat. "I'll try it."
Some weeks later Jack met him and
asked him how much he had saved up
in the postoffice.
"I have no idea," said Pat.
"No idea! Haven't you got a book
like mine?"
"No; I never troubled about a book.
I just dropped my money in the letter
box as T was passing."
The Climax.
Some little girls were boasting of
their respective families. The minis-
ter's little daughter said, "Every pack-
age that comes for niy papa is marked
"And every package that comes for
' my papa is marked 'M.D.' " retorted
the doctor's daughter.
Then followed a look of contempt
from the youngest of the group.
"That's nothing!" she exclaimed.
"Every package that comes to our
house has three letters on "
Slack Hen Eggs.
An Irishman hailed at a dairy and
asked the dairyman If he could supply
him with a dozen eggs laidby a black
hen.
The dairyman was amazed at the
Irishmall's strange order, but informed
Pat that he could pick them out him-
self.
After Pat had picked out his eggs,
the dairyman asked him how he could
distinguish, eggs laid by a black hen.
"Oh, shure, man," replied Pat, "they
ai'e always the biggest."

spells and can go about more actively
than X did before. I believe) these

You can get these pills through any

Why Is it that most people think
that the glory of life does not belong
to the ordinary vocations—that this
belongs to the s artist, to the musician,
to the writer, or to some one of the
more gentle and what they call "algal -

dignity and grandeur and glory in ag-
riculture as in statesmanship or auth-
orship.
No man is the best judge of his own
reputation. --Mr. Justice McCardie,
first place, it takes more heat to raise
a given quantity of water one degree
in temperature than it does any other
substance that we know of, or, to put
the reverse, it takes more cold or nega-
tive heat to lower water one degree
than it does any other substance. If
the blasksmith should drop one pound
of iron at a temperattire of 212 degrees
Fahrenheit into one pound of water at
32 degrees Fahrenheit, the, tempera-
ture of the water would be raised but
18 degrees while the temperature of
the iron was lowered 162 degrees!
• It takes about five and a third times
as much heat to convert a given quan-
tity of water already at the boiling
point into steam as it does to heat the
water all the way from the freezing
point to the boiling point—that is, if
we had ane pail of water already at
the boiling point, 212 degrees Fahren-
heit, it would take as much heat to
convert it into steam as it would to
heat five and a thir'cl buckets of water
a14 The way from the freezing, 32 de-
grees Fahrenheit, to the boiling point!
Thus the instructions for small cars
say not to worry if the water in the
radiator boils a bit.
The temperature of ice is normally
32 degrees Fahrenheit and the tem-
perature of water just before it begins
to forni into ice is the same. But it
takes as much negative heat to freeze
a bucket of water as it does to bring
that bucket of water from 176 degrees
Fahrenheit all the way down to the
freezing point. No wonder we put a
tub of water into the cellar along with
the potatoes.
Just think for a moment, now, that
three-quarters of the earth's surface is
covered with water and that plants
and 'animals are composed- largely of
water. Surely nature has made good
use of a marvelous temperature con-
trol.
Marn's the Word.
The teacher had been giving the
class a lesson in history. The subject
upon which she had hit was that of
Kiiig Alfred and, at the end of the les-

essay.bacorporating what she had told
them. She impressed upon them the
fact that she did not want them on
any account to mention the episode of
the cokes as it had no bearing an his-
torical events, and its authenticity
was very doubtful.
Twenty small heads were bent in
thought for half an hour and then the
essays were handed in.

The Unnoticed Spring.
On Louis Anderson's farm there was
a fifteen -foot well that had never con-
tained more than two feet of water at
the most, and that even during a sliest
drought was often dry. Hoping to in-
crease the supply of water Anderson
at last decided to clean out the accu-
mulated silt at the bottom. With the
help of his twelve -year-old son he
pumped the well dry and removed six
inches or so of the mud.
The bottom five feet of the hole had
been blasted out of soft, disintegrating
shale. While scraping the rocky floor
Anderson noticed a dark irregular spot
three or four inches, in diameter.
Watching it closely, he saw a little
water seeping up through it. With a
crowbar he began to chip away at the
spot, and in a few minutes water was
coming through at a steadily increas-
ing rate.
Anderson had penetrated perhaps
three inches Into the porous material
when his bar suddenly broke through
and dropped about two feet. Simul-
taneously an ice-cold column of water
spurted up almost into his face. He
had uncovered a deep, strong and pure
spring, the presence of which the form-
er owner of the farm had never sus-
pected when he dug the well; with a
little more digging he would surely
have found it. By sundown Ander-
son's well was half full of excellent
water.
How many people whom we pass on
the street seem dull and Unimpassion-
ed, incapable of great thoughts or of
fine deedel And yet, who can tell
what spring of strong, pure feeling
may not lie deep beneath an unpro-
mising and often unlovely human ex-
terior? A little probing into the hearts
and minds of ordinary -looking and
even cold -appearing people will often
bring us great rewards. Th'e sympathy
and understanding of an intimate talk
soon penetrates to the depths of their
better natures. A little encourage-
ment of their kindlier impulses and
finer aspirations may release a great
fresh flow of good for the world.
Both Were Old Fashioned.
An old Physician of the last genera-
tion was noted for his brusque manner
and old fashioned methods, says the
Edinburg Scotsman. On one accasion
a woman called him in to treat her
baby, who was slightly ailing. The
doctor prescribed castor oil.
"But, doctor," protested the young
mother, "castor oil is such an old fas-
hioned remedy."
"Madame," replied the doctor,
"babies are old fashioned things."
