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. • In short, in many instances, its deo 'relepment into a family name'` :has paralleled that of the English family ;;+rune of Brown, the meaning of which the same. Lord Nelson and the Cooks. 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. Yachting in the Mediterranean was Inthe whole "Blue Water," as Mr. A. Hildebrand''ca11s it in his book of at nave, But on one occasion at 'merle, ',Spain, when the boat was it u ho t the services of a cook, not my the -eater but the yachtmen also ere blue. The ship chandler at that 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 >e bout .ti e,•only ship chandler here at ny rate, • Some of the others, younger en for the most ,part, have tried tie (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 orway'salvage ship; he go away, be- use ship no go to sea. Always lie ant go, to sea. He marry my little irl. You see?

Since the wind was in the east, we flayed three days in Almeria, and Pepe aaame and cooked for us. He was a and cook and neat and pleasant; 'but e was, so, fat that it was impossible to 'nagin•e his going aloft. We asked Im whether he was willing to stay rith .us. ,b. "'Yes, I go," he said. "For six months try get into ship -chandler business, ere in Almeria, but Lord Nelson,,he ive away meat, figs, wine, eggs, every eihing to ships that come., So I. lose iiree thousand pesetas and give up: to got more money.

"I know very man" he said without a moment's hesitation. "Speak Eng- lish same as you; better than me. Name Martini.o Good cook, goodsail- or. ani or. Been ten year at sea. American 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. To M: •. Li o Little 5 n.

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. SUMMER HST HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all hu, .man help before the inother realizes he is ill: Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infanturn, dysentery and colic are most prevalent. Any one of'these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mother's- best friend is Baby's 'Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep.' baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine deniers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • "As She is Wrote."

Some people thought them "rather funny," and some wondered languidly, "Who the dickens is R 1<.?" Bust the tales and ditties gave no offense at all. forthe simple reason that no one re oognised.:himself, though he immedi- ately saw how exactly the cap fitted 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 the centre of .the social and political groups ;that swayed the kingdom.
