Racial Origin--Angio-Saxon. Source—Localities. This little group of family names is typical of the larger part of the entire Classification of "ton" names, They are given here as variations of one • another, not 'because they have come from the same .source, but from the salve kind of source. This source is Anglo-Saxon place names. This does „pot by any means establish. the first hearers of the sur- names as of Anglo-Saxon blood, how- ever. Tlieymight have. been and un- doubtedly were in many cases Nor- mans. But it was 'backin the Anglo-Saxon period that the place names were formed around the old word "tun," which has given us our modern word "town." • 'To the Anglo-Saxons this word meaut primarily an inclosed place,,which, of course, most of their towns were. Thus if the locality were noted for a clay soil; the "tun" became known ee Clayton and grew into a town of that'. name.' Newton would signify an inclosure recently built (re- cent in the view of those who named It). Leighton and the modern simpli- fication, Layton, impli-fication,.Layton, would be an inclosure on a "leigh" or "ley," that is, meadow land. ' And Hilton would designate such an inciosure on a hillside or hill- top. Such names became family names as a rule when former residents let tled In other communities. • TUMUI.TY. Variations-TomaIty, Taity. Racial Origin ----1 rash, Source—,A given name. At just what period this Irish clan came' into being is not quite. clear. The clan name, however, is traceable back to a period prior to that in which the majority of English fancily names or- iginated, As nearly as the Irish spelling of the name can be rendered with the Eng- lish alphabet, it is "O'Tombailtaigh." The spelling is formidable, but the pro- nunciation is not, the native Gael pro- nouncing it just about the way we pro- nounce • the variations Tumulty. and Tomalty, with the clan -signifying "0" before it. This "0" in Irish names, however, is but the modern development pf the more ancient forms "Hue" and "Hui," sometimes rendered in English as "Ua" and "Hy." One is singular and the other plural in this sense; the former is used when speaking of a single person who is a member of the clan, the latter when the speaker is referring to several members or to the clan as a whole. The Irish clan names all are taken from the given names of the chieftains who founded them, In this case the given name was "Tomhailt," with a meaning of "the waster" or "the gen- erous one. Animals That Advertise, Everywhere one goes in the corn try signs may be seen which indicate that creatures of the wild knowthe value of advertising just as much as do human beings. Often this advertising may be just a- dodge on the part of the insect or animal to avoid the attentions of an- other creature who has designs upon shim as a delectable dinner .morsel. This peculiarity of Nature is notice- able in regard to the butterfly, which is an ingenious; little publicity mer- chant. Certain kinds of butterflies have noxious .qualties which are not to the liking of birds, but tliere • are other species which are just the re- verse. The latter consequently' as- sume the colorings of the former, and so, by advertising their undesirability as food, manage to preserve their lives. The same tactics are adopted by .: beetles, but 1t is from bird and animal life- that we' get the best examples. Certain kinds of snipe, for "instance, set up a peculiar >shriek as soon as they catch sight of a shooting -party, and this is kept up until they have AdV:er'tieed far and wide that the gun- ners are ou the look out. Sheep's Secret Signals. Wild sheep, also, are clever in this respect. The1y need only to see one of their number at attentiou, with head up and ears pricked forward, to be- come suspicious and ready for flight. Again, when deer register the pre- e;ence, of a foe, they send a signal to 'every member o/ t1.e band to be cau- tious. The wild bellow of the lion is often uttered not because he is angered and ready to .fight. He knows that to keep away. Iris foes he has but to remind them of his power, and he does so by proclaiming his strength far and wide. With just the same object does the rattlesnake shake hie castanets. The sound of them reaches the ears of his foes, and, awed with the dreadful warning of the snake's latent rower, they eapielly disappear. • But it is at the mating season in the Lift OffNoPain!

There is a general' flaunting of color and parade of strength, with the object of proving to a possible mate how much more desirable than his rival each one is. This competition for favor. is par- ticularly outstanding in bird life, and the display of colors and ornaments to catch the female eye is carried to per- fectipn. • The great peacock, while conscious of his beauty, at the same time Is aware that,. his rival may be just as beauetifiel, and to oust him from favor he tidies himself up and, as it were, puts on his Sunday best. The Alligator's Courtship. Birds of Paradise wave their won- derful silky plumes, and the humming- bird with great skill flashes his gems among the flowers, making a perfect color scheme. Other birds., less fortunate in the matter of color, find the power of song a. great factor in gaining favor; so these songsters chant their sweetest melodies or chirrup and whistle as best they can. Even the lumbering alligator knows how to advertise, and in searching for a bride does his best to stage a fight so that the lady et his choice may see Mm come fotali the victor! The same applies to lions and tigers and even the monkey, so if you see any of those fellows vainly strutting about at the Zoo, don't laugh. They know what they are doing! 0 GREEN TEA IN GREAT DEMAND. Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and. India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They quality h fine and d i were of• succl Y clic ors flavor that Green Tea drinkers lin- mediately recognized their superiority, and demanded them in ever increasing quantities. Salads Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green. Teas in Canada. Rest. To; get the most out of a vacation one should have a rest as well as a change of scene and recreation. Ex- cessive physical fatigue whether from work or' play is dangerous. Fatigue means a tired heart and weakened di- gestive organs, and it lowers resist rance to infection of any sort. Many a; vacation has been spoiled by unusual tittiglto, with over eating, and many a vacationist returns hone suuffering. from an infection which would never. have, occiu'red had. his natural powers of• resistance net been lowered by gen- eral bodily fatigue. Begin new forms of work or play moderately, Moderation 'in physical exertion for the first few days of a vacation will make a great difference in the actual results of the vacation. it will also make a Vacation far more beneficial in its results if the daily programme he arranged so as to pro- vide sir period of complete relaxation and rest, if not a nap, after the noon- day ureal orr before the evening ureal. 41 One who has climbed the ladder should not pull it up or kick it down -- he should extend a kindly hand to the fellow belarv. ask for kMinaid'e ti take no other.

The fact that one woman is bright- eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheer- ful, while another is pale, weak and depressed is due more often than other- wise to the condition of the blood, The way to remedy this depressed state is to build up the blood, and for this purpose there is no other tonic can equal Dr. Williams' fink Pills. A case in point is that of Mrs. Melvin Abra, Graveley Street, Vancouver, B.Ce who says:—"About two years ago I was a very sick woman. 1 seemed to. be wasting away and getting thinner all the time. I grew so weak that the doctor sent me to the hospital, but the treatment there' did not help me and I returned home. Then I tried a num- ber of tonics with no better results. At this stage my mother came to me, and as she Is a. firm believer in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, she started me on this medicine. I can only say that they did wonders for me. I began to get new health and strength after I had taken a few boxes, and day by day this improvement continued until I was again well and able to do all my housework, and I have not had a sick day since. I cannot recommend your pills too highly and urge those who are looking for health and happiness to give them a trial." You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Seeing Eyes. The automobile plowed through the deep sand of a ,piney woods road. There was not a house in sight, not a sound except the impatient and dis- gusted exclamations of .the pair in the car, a young couple from the city. "Miles and miles:" and not even a cabin! I don't wonder nobody lives in such a -forsaken country," grumbled the young man at the wheel, and his wife emphatically declared that she didn't blame folks for not living where there was nothing except pines and sand. Just then the breeze that stirred the boughs bore to their earsa song, jubi- lant and glad: "I've reached the land of Corn and wine, With all its treasures surely mine; I've reached that beauteous shining shore-- Ie1y heaven, my home, forever more!" The car slowed down and, drawing to one side, stopped to allow a small covered cart to come slowly up over the narrow load. An old woman in a purple calico dress, with a big black sunbonnet falling back on her neck, sat in a chair acid drove the pony. "In trouble.?" inquired the old wo- man sympathetically, "The sand's so deep I reckon you're stuck. I'll drive on and send a neighbor to pull you out." "No, not stuck, just waiting to ask if you could show us some nearer way out to the main road," said the young man. "Now ain't that a nice way to travel, though!" exclaimed the woman, ".gild - in' along smooth as grease and seein' everything!" "But this country" -began the'young woman impetuously, "this country is so—so—" "Ain't it?" replied the stranger, beaming upon them. "For them with seein' eyes there's no prettier country to be found! This time of year es- pecially when the woods are fair groanin' under the bounty of. the Lord.

For a time the two were silent; then the young wife spoke softly to her husband. "See, dear, right ahead of us are a whole family of squirrels in that hollow limb. I counted four, and there comes another with'a nut in her mouth!" "I see; and over yonder in that thicket, there's a covey of quail." "And there right, overhead is a vine just loaded with grapes! Stop the car and let's pick some. There really are so many things to see in these Woods' if," -she looked into her hus- band's face, and he nodded, under- standingly,—"if we have seeing eyes!"

CHILDHOOD INDIGESTION Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing is more dangerous to proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave theway to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigestion, There is no medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tablets in relieving this trouble. They have proved of benefit in thousands of homes. Concerning', them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: "My baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, li but the Tablets soon set her right, and now I would not be without them." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. League Protects Children.

"I have direct and personal know- ledge of so many cases where TAN - LAC AC has restored health, and strength and helped weak, run-down people to get on their feet that I know it to be an unusual medicine," is the emphatic manner in which Mrs. M.

"Time and again I have urged TAN- LAC'S use and it always brings the 'most gratifying results. My own mother, now eighty years old, took TANLAC five years ago, and it has been her standby ever since.

The Greenland whale fishery, so far as this country is concerned; is almost non-existent. The harpoon -gun was too deadly, and the "right" whale of the Arctic appeared likely to become as extinct as the dodo. Then news was circulated that the ocean around the Falkland islands in the south Atlantic was "alive" with whales, and, just as gold -seekers rush off to any new field where gold 1s re- ported, so the whaling fleets all turned south. To -day the whale fishery around these islands Is more profitable than all the other fisheries of the world put together. No time is wasted returning to port with a "catch." Floating factories have been established where the blub- ber can be treated, and so valuable is this that the rest of the whale's car- case is often sent adrift, a waste of tons of valuable material. During one year a score of whaling boats operating from South Georgia killed live thousand whales, the oil from which filled 200,000 barrels. Six barrels represent a ton, and as whale oil sells at .from $6.0 to $125 per ton, the catch of this fleet was worth $2,- 500,000. No man can be cheated` out of an `honorable career in life unless he cheats himself. Believe in yourself and your capabilities and you will not be cheated.
