Surnames and Their Origin
GUNNING.
Varlation—O'Gunning.
Racial Origin --Irish,
Source—A given name.
Here is a family name which in
many instances comes from Anglo-.
Saxon sources. It is, however, often
of Irish development, being merely the
Anglicized form of the clan name of
O'Conaing.
In point of age, this family or clan.
name shares honors with that of
O'Day, or, to use the Gaelic form,
"O'Deadhaichid," tracing directly back
to the period when Brian Boru reign-
ed as High King over Ireland and es-
tablished by edict the system of clan
and family names. -
The O'Gunning clan was probably
founded a few years after that of
O'Day, for its founder, unlike that of
the O'Days, was not of the same gen-
eration as Brian Boru, being, in fact,
his grand -nephew.
The given name, in this case, hap-
pens to have the same spelling in the
nominative as in the genitive case.
It is frpm this latter that the clan
name is formed by the prefixing of the
"0'," which has the same significance
as the Anglo-Saxon ending "son" and
the Norman-French prolix "fitz."
MARLS
Variation-Marris.
Racial Origin Norman-French and
French,
Source — A. locality — Also a given
name.
Here is a family name which. may
be accounted for in several ways.
The simplest •explanation lies in its
development from a given name which
was fairly popular among the Nor-
man French, that of "Mariese."
But while this undoubtedly accounts
for the name in a great many in-
stances, it does not suffice for all. It
is also traceable to the name of a lo-
cality in Normandy, known as "le
Marais."
In the first instance the early form
of the name is found as Fitzmariese"
or "Fitzniaris": (which undoubtedly
also has developed in some instances
into Fitzm.orris):, the "fitz" being the
Norman development of the Latin
"Alias," meaning "son."
In the latter,the early form is found
as "de le Marais."
But it is also a matter of record
that, in some instances, the family
name was brought into England after
it had already become a family name in
France, in the form of "Mares•." -
A SPLENDID LAXATIVE
F011 THE BABY
Mothers .should constantly be on
guard to keep baby's bowels working
freely and his stomach sweet, for
nine -tenths of the ailments from
which little ones suffer are caused by
derangements of the stomach and
bowels. Baby's Own Tablets are a
splendid laxative for the baby. They
are mild but thorough; contain neith-
er opiates nor narcotics, and are ab-
solutely guaranteed to be safe and
efficient for either the newborn babe
or the growing chilli. By their action
on the bowels and stomach they drive
out.. `constipation-. and indigestion;
break up colds and .simple fevers and
make the dreaded teething period
easy. The Tablets are sold by -medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a
box from 'The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Out,
A Basque Heart and Soul.
From the little town near the Span-
ish frontier to the mountain village is
not• more than thirty kilometers, but
the motor diligence that runs between
them takes a whole day for the trip—
which is not astonishing, if you con-
.siaer What an accommodating fellow.
the driver is. To please a passenger,
says the London Times, he will pull
up at what he thinks is the fipest point
of view so that a photograph niay be
taken, and he is flattered when the
• camera is turned on him and his .dili-
gence.
He is a Basque heart and soul and
grows eloquent about the scenery, so
wild, so solemn on the mountain
heights, so smiling and intimate in
the 'valleys. The gardens are full of
flowers, fruit and vegetables; the
meadows yield three crops of hay in
the season.
You may learn if you will who lives
in the bleaming white houses with the
brown beams and old stone name
plates, for driver and fishwives are
willing to talk. They will tell you
that the Basque country is tlae most
beautiful corner of all France; that
life is easy for everyone there; that
there is noepoverty at all, and that the
workman lives as comfortably as the
man of leisure; that the Basques have
large families, and their sons and
daughters emigrate, though only to
earn money and bring it back to their
own village, where they spend it on
the land they love. When the people
are tired of talking they sing old
Basque folk songs with a lively lilt in
every air. The mountains are folded
in a purple robe; the evening star
comes out, and from the shore, as the
diligence nears the town, comes the
long swish of the Atlantic breakers,
The moon appears.

A REAL IiiRVE TONIC
Is a Bountiful Supply of Rich
Health -Giving Blood.
Sufferers from what medical men,
speak of as nervous debility find them-
selves tired, morose, low-spirited j and
unable to keep their minds on any-
thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a
blow. They are full of grouitdiegs
fears and cannot sleep at night,; Their
hands tremble, the legs feel as if they
will give away following a walk or
any exertion, and the mind is greatly
disturbed by the most trivial incidents,'
Doctoring the nerves with poison-
ous sedatives is a terrible mistake.
The only real nerve tonic is a good
supply of rich, red blood. To secure
this new, rich blood use Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills which have a direct action
on the blood and through it stimulate
every nerve and organ in the body,
Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Penwick,0nt.,
gives her experience with this medi-
cine as follows:—"I had a nervous
breakdown and was in the Welland
County Hospital for some time. As I
was not improving my husband took'
me out and took me up to my moth-
er's. I doctored there but it did not
help nie. Then I returned home, and
was again under a doctor's came, but
with no better results. I would" trem-
ble and get numb all over, and the
least noise would affect me. I was
quite unable to do my housework and.
was in a terrible condition. FinallyI
was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and am thankful that I did so,
as after taking about a dozen boxes I.
was again a healthy woman—,;Ihave
used the pins since while nursing nay
baby, with equally good results, ,and
I strongly advise other ailing women
to try them."

A Facer!

Here is a story of the London tube,
told in the Tatler. A certain man who
had never considered himself as hand-
soiue liked to think nevertheless tlia,t
the 'lofty expression of his face more
than compensated for any deficiency
in beauty. Accordingly, going home tri
the eube one evening, he was much
gratified to see a Bran on the seat op-
posite him produce a notebook and
start sketching his face,
He leaned across to the sketcher
and said genially, "I see you are an
artist, sir."
The other 'smiled. "011, in a hitmblo
sort of way," he replied. "I design
these grotesque door knockers."

The Star Twinkles.
There is a bit of tragedy as well as
comedy in the story that in the Tapes-
try of Life. Mr. Raymond Blathway tells
of a young man who after years Of
poverty and misery finally emerged as
a poet of the highest order. A certain
literary duchess who had been greatly
fascinated 1» the charm and beauty
of his verse gave an afternoon tea in
his honor,
Poor fellow, he sat in speechless
agony, surrounded by his admirers,
well realizing that as the star of the
occasion he was expected to twinkle
at least once during the afternoon, At
last an inspiration came to him. He
started to speak, and dead silence fell
upon the room. This is what he said:
"Have you n -noticed, d -d -duchess,
that, this year's pawn tickets are all
pink?"

CORNS
Lift Off No Pain!
Even Thema Soldier.
An Italian offieed who [von distinc-
tion in the Great War was in his boy-
hood the hero of an amusing incident.
His chief fault then was that he would
interrupt any one if he had anything
he wanted to say himself. Our mother,
writes Miss Lisi Cipriani in A Tuscan
Childhood, repeatedly said to hien:
"Ritchie, you moot never interrupt
me when I am talking. Wait till I
have finished and then say, 'At your
convenience, mama, I have something
to tell you.' Take time; learn to be
polite
One day toward the end of the sea-
son my mother had taken Ritchie and
me to the baths at Leghorn. The
bathe are built in piers' and rotundas
into the sea, and bridges connect the
piers. Beare the autumn storms be-
gin the boards are taken away, so that
only two long wooden beams and the
railings remain,
I had crossed one of the bridges at
a considerable distance from where
my mother and some friends were sit-
ting in a group and was watching a
man who was fishing. Just as I left
him and was about to cross the bridge
on the beam he called to me that he
had hooked a fish. I waited till the
fish was. safely landed and then start-
ed to cross. But so interested was I
that I forgot that the boards had been
taken away and, walking on as usual,
fell into the sea.
Ritchie, who had been standing by
me, rapidly grossed the bridge and
ran to my mother. Taking off his cap,
he stood politely beside her for some
time, waiting till she had finished a
rather long story that ebe was just
telling. Then he said:
"Mama, at your convenience, I have
som•ethiiig to tell you."
"What is it?" inquired my mother
approvingly.
"Mama, at your convenience, List
has fallen into the water."
"What!" cried my . mother, jumping
up. "Has any oue pulled her out?"
"I don't know," Ritchie replied calm-
ly and politely, "but I did not inter-
rupt your story—and she cam swim!'
Nasty Nicknames.
"I hope they don't give my little boy
any nasty nicknames in school?"
"Yes, mother; they call me Corns." ;
"How dreadful! And why do they
call you that?"
"-'Ceruse I'm always at the foot of
the class."
