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

described as all run down."

natives were then at a Most dangerous

they firmly .believed that all they had
to do to avoid being struck by the bul-

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

The World's Tallest Man?
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. At present this
giant is touring Europe, and hopes
shortly to visit England.
