The saying about the little atm half of the world knows• of how the other half lives is' as true in,musFcal matters as le others, and an amusing confirinar tion of it occurred a few,montll•s ago. A. famous foreign violinist and come roast, who had been visiting the Bri- t1sh kiss frequently during a period of twenty years or soy was walking in the streets. of Edinburgh when he heard a boys, who evidently was unoul.. tared and unlearned, whistling a tune that was obviously a foiksong, This, thought the artist, was a real die• oovery, and giving the bo.y a subs:tan- tial tip, he made hent repeat the tune ti1Q he himself had fixed it in his mind. Returning to his hotel he arranged it as a :piece for violin or piano, and .hie press agent sent 'round to the papers the good news of his .discovery. And then it 'turned out that the tune was the "Londonderry Ali," which, for many years past hal been .one of the iaost popular both as a song and as a 'tlleme for bigger molts! And the violinist did not kuoli it! BROKEN IN HEALTH After An Attack of Influenza Health Now Restored. "I am writing to tell you what Dr:. Williams' Pink Pills have done for rne, says Mrs; J. H. Oulton, Firdale, Man. "A few years ago I was in a bad- ly rundowncondition, so Much so that I was subject to faintingspells which would leave me in such a condition that I could hardly go about, Then I was stricken with influenza, which was epidemic at that time, and this still further weakened me, and throughout the whole winter I remained in this condition. I was constantly taking doctor's medicine, but was It did not seem to help me, my mother advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a couple ofboxes to start on. When these were done I seemed to feel an improvement and I got a fur- ther supply to continue, the treatment. I took in all about a dozen boxes, and by that time I was in the best of health and had gained in weight. My faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is now unbounded, and I keep a supply on hand and take them occasionally if I am not feeling quite well. I often recommend them to others, and cannot praise them enough for restoring my health." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are useful In all cases . where the blood is thin and watery as their mission is to build up and purify the blood. That is why. they give new strength and vigor after an attack of influenza, and it is also the reason why they are benegcialain nervous ,disorders, neuralgia, rheu- matism and " that condition generally, described as all run down." You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from' The Dr. Williams' Medicine. Co., Brockville, Ont. He Picked a Professor to Win the War.

But there was one Englishman at least who years before the war understood his remarkable qualities In Celebrities Mr. Ooulson Kernahan pays tribute' to the prescience of Lord Roberts, the "man who knew."

'That I ani alive and in good health to -day I can attribute to nothing but Tanlac," ' is the remarkable statement recently made by Mrs. Eva Varalo, 233 Cumberland St„ Ottawa, Ontario, Can. ada. For two long years I suffered ter- ribly from indigestion, constipation, extreme nervousness, sleeplessness, palpitation of the heart, almost con- tinuous sick headaches and shortness of breath, until life seemed a burden to lne and I had given up hopes of ever regaining any health. "But .:Tanlac helped me • tile very first day I took it, and now after using seven bottles my health and strength are asp fine as can be, and everyone remarks how well I look. I eat hearti- ly, my food digests just perfectly, my nerves are steady, I sleep sound, my heart never troubles me and work is like play, 'Really, the way the treat- ment restored me to perfect health seems almost miraculous.

I might as well have struck a fully inflated automobile tire! It was rather. a setback; the only good effect was that everyone except myself roared with laughter. But - then when even I began to see the humor of it .I; spotted a, mischievous fellow calmly jabbing his spear through aur 'water -proof ground sheet. That would not do! I drew my pistol. Now, those natives were then at a Most dangerous stage of ignorance regarding firearms; they firmly .believed that all they had to do to avoid being struck by the bul- let' was to duck when they saw the smoke, Therefore when I covered theno one moved; they were wait- ing for the smoke. When they heard the vicious bang of the little weapon and saw no'smoke the laugh was on them and especially on the fellow who had been so busy on my ground sheet; for with 'a ridiculous air of surprised injury he now stood looking at a half- eevered and completely seeiit spear in his hand. Then. the natives began to edge nervously away. Take Tanlac Vegetable Pills. Surnames and Their Origin SAVILLE Variation—Sayville. Racial Origin — Norman-French and English. Source—A locality or a given name. In the given instance it is not pos- s�ible to tell without genealogio-a1 re- search whether this family name is de- rived from a place name or a given name. The chances are, however, that in the majority of cases this particular family name is the development of a place name. It is met with quite frequently in the medieval English records as "de Se - vele" and "de Sayville," and under cir- cumstances that leave little doubt as to its being born by personages in the service of William the Conqueror or his successor:. But there is some doubt as to the place referred to. It would be going too far to say that it. did not mean_ the modern city of Seville, though this would appear unlikely. On the other hand, it is conceivable that it could have come from the place in Belgium called Serviile. Yet the letter "r" is not to be found in the earli�a. farms of the surname, and though possible, it is not =likely that it was injected at a later period into the name of the town. TABOR Variation—Taber. Source—An occupation, or an Inn sign. This family name may be a develop- ment either of the word "tabourer" (sometimes "taborer") or "tabur." You'd probably laugh to -day if you should run across such a family' name as "Basedrummer," but this is virtual- ly the meaning of the name of Tabor. The "tabur" of the medieval period was a drum. The "taburer" was the man who beat the"drum, and there were many of them, for there were many traveling orchestras in those days, with their reed instruments, six-stringed viols and their drums. In many instances., however, inn- keepers and shopkeepers, in that pe- riod when it was useless to hang let- tered signs above their doors, awing to. the inability of most of the population to read, used to identify their inns end shops with pictorial signs, seizing up- on any subject or combination of sub- jects for illustration, in order to• dis- tinguish his place from those, of his neighbors. It was natural that the drum should often be used for such an illustration, and it was quite common to shorten such a name as "William at the Tabur" into simply "William Ta- bor." had his own opinion of Foch. Speak- ing on July 29, 1908, he said: "They refuse to believe roe, and we sleep under a false security, for I do not hesitate to affirm that we shall have a frightfu•1 war in Europe, and that England and France will have the hardest experience of their existence, They will in .fact see defeat very near, but the war will finally be won by the genius of a French general. named Fer- dinand Foch, professor at the military school at Paris," Thus almost exactly sex years' be- fore the war Lard Roberts predicted precisely what would happen in the war when it came. That in itself was a memoisable fact. But that he should thus have marked ,cut a professor and a lecturer in the schools, who was a second lieutenant !n 1874, between which time and 1908 he had had no opportunity rot proving his military abilities by commanding troops in ac- tions. of any importance, if indeed he had seen any action at all, and that•he 'should have marked him as the man who was to lead the allied cause to vicary, is surely one of the most re- markable examples of prescience in all history. His Hearing Restored. The invisible ear drum invented by A. 0. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fatting inside the ear en- tirely out of sight, is restoring the" hearing of hundreds of people in New York city. Mr. Leonard Invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it does this so successfully that no one could tell he is a deaf man. It is effective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated or wholly destroyed natural drums. A request for information to A. 0. Leonard, Suite 437, 70 Fifth avenue, New York city, will be given a prompt reply. advt Life would be f ightfully dull with- out obstacles to overcome.

One of the tallest men alive to -day, possibly the tallest, is Armand Bran- ner, who hails from the Jura Moun- tains. He is 7ft. 5aain. in height, and his stretch from finger-tip to finger-tip is•close on 8ft., while, as his boots are 17ei'4,1n. long, his patronage is eagerly sought by the bootmakens. in his lo- cality. Bronner was born in 1890, and only ceased to grow when he was thirty years of age. It is a remarkable fact that he only- weighed 4e lb. when born, Hips great height is not shared by any other member of hie family, the tallest being 5ft. 9in. Unlike mast giants, who outgrow their strength, Bronner le exceedingly strong, and can carry a weight of near- ly half a ton with ease. His health is .exoellent, and so is his appetite, He eats little meat, but conenmes a huge quantity of vegetables. Food and clothing necessarily cost hila about twice what an ordinary roan would bave .to pay, and his tailor, when fitting h'im, requires a step -ladder to, reach his shoulders.
