. ly So in the Central Eastern section of
the United States, notably in Pen-

GALBRAITH..
Variation=Galbreth.
Racial Origin-8cottlsirr
Source'—A given name.
At the period when , the Scottish:
clans *ere at the heiliht of their power
tire':Galbraitbs formed a very import-
ant division of that most influential
clan, - the Macdonalde, North and
South.
The Gaelic designation of this
branch of the Macdonalds was "Chlann
a' Bhreattanuaich," or "descendants of
- the Britons,'.'sbut they took. as a family
As a family name itsusetraces back
both to the given name, and to its use
as a descriptive surname, for the word
,means "brown," and like suoh Gaelic
names rte Dougall and Douglas, which
meant dark, it became a given name.
Again it was used, as "dhu"Nand
'dubr" have been used in Scotland and
la'eland, as a sort of surname, descrip-
iveeither of the personal appearance
of the bearer or of that of the particu-.
ar branch of. Ills family from which
se' came.

'relepment into a family name'` :has
paralleled that of the English family

name the given name of their 'chief-
tain, who played an important part in
the national affairs of Scotland about
the time of James L, "Galbraith, of
Baidernock.
Of course, in the earlier use of this
name it was regularly prefixed by the
"mac," indicating followers or des-
eendants ref the person named. But as
has been the case with so many Scot-
tish and Irish clan names, the prefix
was dropped as auirerfluoue after the
translation of the name into English
in later generations.
The •strongholds ofthis branch of
the Macdonalds were at Maerihannish
and Rrutncre, and prior to 1600 they
held the island • of Gigha for the Mac -
j donalds.

lace, .a" man with -one eye, says Mr.
ildebrand, kept. asking what he could
o for tis. In the end we told him we
eded cook, and as he left he hand-
d us his card, which we found bore
e -name "Lord Nelson."
Subsequently: we -asked the British,
c- onsul whether Lord Nelson was de-
ndable.
"I e's
a . 3 -about as good as the general
of them" was the reply. `''H 's

(reak'into his game from time to time,
ut he has coney enough to undersell
em, and he doesn't "hesitate even to
ive away supplies for the sake of
eezing•out his competitors."
When •we asked' Lard Nelsdn, to re-
ommend us a 000k he thought for a
ement and at last muttered, "Pepe!
here's a man for you. Good cook,
ood sailor. For six months he cook on

Since the wind was in the east, we
flayed three days in Almeria, and Pepe

resigned. ,
We sent for Lord Nelson again and
asked for another Cook.
"I know very man" he said without
a moment's hesitation. "Speak Eng-

Good cook, goodsail-

ship. Yes. Fine man. I tell him.
You see."
Martini was quick and clever in the
galley and had once made a voyage in
a steamer to Newport News, but he
was no elan' for going aloft; and it was
hard to understand Lord Nelson's en-
thusiasm for him unless—sure enough,
we learned on investigation that Mar-
tini had been trying to break into the
ship-chandler;,busineee and .that Lord
Nelson had 'had to give away supplies
to defeat him.
The wind came westerly on the
fourth day, and as we were making
sail Martial appeared on deck with
his bundle under his arm and, saying
that his son was very sick, resigned.,
So we went to sea without a cook.
History. of the Cabbage.
Remarkable facts concerning the
cabbage have been discovered. by Pro-
fessor Ruggles Gates, the botanist:"--
It
otanist:-
It is stated that cabbages, !?;ales,
cauliflowers, and brussels' sprouts all
originated in the wild cabbage, a na-
tive of the coast and the South of Eng-
land. The cabbage as we know it was
the first development of the .wild
plant, and from it came the cauli-
flower and the sprout.
Apparently there was no gradual de-
velopment. It just happened spon-
taneously. In the case of the cauli-
flower there was an inflorescense, and
the green' flower turned to white and
became succulent and fleshy, though
not to the degree we know it to -day.
As a food the cabbage is extremely
valuable, because it contains lime and
potash.
To be completely healthy people .re-
•
quire roughage, coarse. indigestible
material, just as animals do. Cabbage
furnishes roughage and supplies lime.
It should be steamed, and not boiled
or cooked in soup.
New Peaks Found in Cariboo
Range.
Eight newmountains have been
found and ascended in the Cariboo
range of British Columbia by Prof, R.
T. Chamberlain of the University of
Chicago's Department of Geology, and
Allen Carpe, New York, engineer, who
have recently returned. One is among
the highest in the Canadian North-
west.
Hitherto even old guides in Alberta
were unfamiliar with the. Alpine slopes
of the range. .
Chamberlain and Carpe also locateci`
the headwaters of the Thompson and
Canoe Rivers, and they, are the first
white nren ever to dote the glaciai
sources of 'these two mountain
streams.
They camped on therocks as 'n g
as 10,000 feet, using a special powder
'fOr fuel.

For, the milk injection treatment
said Dr. Geoid'', no one Viennese doc-
tor claims credit. It was discovered,
he declared, by .a group of doctor
chief among whom, perhaps, are Doc
ens Doctors Lindner and Guist. (Cot
ene indicates something more than a
doctor, or a oombination of doctor and
professor).
"Successful treatments have been
given in so a
t
s
m ny cases in Vienna, Dr.
Gookin continued, "that the discovery
may be said to have passed the experi-
mental stage. It is established as an
absolute preventive in far more than
fifty per cent. of cases. If the patient
does not respond in three days then he
is considered beyond hope and no
other remedy Is attempted.
"The discovery is particularly valu-
able in the case of infants whose eyes
are affected at birth. Any eye trouble,
resultant from infection, may be ar-
rested in them at once by the milk in-
jections. It seems simple enough for
home treatment, but there are details
which only a physician experienced in
this work can handle."
"Pure, unadulterated cow's milk rs
the only ingredient. This is boiled for
not less. than four, nor more than five,
minutes. Then it is permitted _to, cool
to bolly temperature, 98.6 degrees, be-
fore the injection is made. The
amount injected inan adult is ten
cubic centimetres, or 150 grains. This
much is injected in the lumbar region
once a day for three successive days.
That is all. After, that the infection,
or falling sight, is arrested for good
and all, or else the case is hopeless.
The dose for infants under one year
is one cubic centimetre once a day for
three days."
Acute. Sight Enables Birds '
t� Sti t Food.
Compared with birds,,,rhuman wings
have poor sight. It is well known that
an' eagle is capable of sighting= its
quarry from a great height, and is able
to swoop down and seize it exactly in
the centre oiw its• neck.
Most birds have good sight, but in
some the faculty is more developed
than in others. Thee woodcock, far in-
stance, has the remarkable power of
flying at a great speed through dense
thickets as though it were flying
through an open space.
It is also astonishing teepee the pace
at which a bird will alight upon a tree
or building. Only most acute sight en-
ables it to do • this accurately.
Then, how quickly birds discern food
that has been left on the ground!
Throw, a piece of bread down at a time
when no birds are near, and in a few
moments a number of them will be on
the spot.

Some people thought them "rather

"Who the dickens is R 1<.?" Bust the
tales and ditties gave no offense at all.
forthe simple reason that no one re

some one else.
Rudyard Kipling was so seldom in
Simla that I have always felt con-
vinced that his sister helped him a
great deal in the ground -work of his
tales and ditties; she head a more in-
timate knowledge than he of Simla
and its society. Miss. Kipling was a
e bright, clever girl, and, though she did
not' say much, she saw everything dis-
tinctly. She was the bright damsel
