Racial Orig In -Irish. Source -A given name. These family names are anglicized forms of another of the Irish clan names, though, of course, the one vari- ation, Hill, has an English origin which in the majority of cases ex- plains'its existence. The Irish form of the name is "O'B.aoghail," which isn't half as hard • to pronounce as it looks when it is considered that the "gh" in this case happens to be virtually silent, leaving the four vowels, "aoai" for pronuncia- tion as a dipthong. In short, the Eng- lish spelling of Boyle represents the true, pronunciation. The lees frequent form, "Boghill," has no connection whatever with the English words, "hog" and "hill." It is simply an attempt to preserve the Irish spelling, and was arrived at merely by the elimination of "a" from the first syllable and "m" also from the second, with the addition of another final "1" simply from English habit. In turn there are cases on record where families bearing this name have arbitrarily shortened it still further to "Hill" in the effort to obscure its Irish origin. Changes of this nature Oc- curred chiefly at times andplaces in Ireland when English•law made it com- pulsory to drop the native names. The clan traces its origin to a chief- tain of 'the O'Donnelis of Tyrcouncil, whose given name was "Baoghal," MACKIN. Variations—MaoMackln, Meokins, Ma- kin, Meakin. Racial Origin--Engileh, also Scottish. Source—A given name. There is a. peculiar paralleling of the forms of the English and Scottish family names in this group, which have conic from the same given name, but through a different formof de- velopment. The given name, though you might not suspect it, is Mathew, the same that has given us the family names in the Mathewson and Matheson class!. fications. The change from the "ch" in Mat- hew to a " ek" =or "k" in English was brought about as the result of the use of one of the Anglo-Saxon diminutives. of the name. "Mat" was a short team of Mathew. "Matkin," through the ad- dition of the diminutive ending "kin," meant "Little Mat." Hence the mean- ing of Mat1Sinson is clear. But that combination of "tk". in. the ,middle of the name was as hard for the Eng- lish tongue of the Middle Ages as for us, and the "k" being the more domin- ant sound, the "t" just naturally dropped out. The development of the Scottish name is somewhat different. One of the older forms of the Gaelic "Mac- Mhathain (Mathewson), was "Mao- Maghain," met with about 1263, and it is from this form that MacMackin is developed. Words With Changed Meanings. If we wish to label anything strange or barbarious we say it is "outlandish," but when the Bible speaks of an "out- landish woman" is means a foreigner. Another curious expression in the Authorized Version is "The other bas- ket . had very naughty figs." That means fruit which was good for naught. To -day the word. "naughty" means "ill-behaved." In the Prayer Book the word "presently" means "at the present time," but to -day it always means a future time, though not far distant.. When the Authorized Version of the Scriptures was first printed the word "careful" meant "full of care and an- xiety," as in "careworn," but if a man were said to be careful it would to -day be a good testimonial. Thus, when the New Testament tells us to "be careful for nothing," it is not enjoining waste- fulness and speaking against thrift, but simply telling us not to worry about anything.

A well known doctor has ascertain- ed that outbreaks Re infectious disease may very easily originate in trees and shrubs and be carried by the insects inhabiting them to neighboring locali- ties. It appears that in the first place cer- tain prickly plants sometimes harbor living germs known as fiagellites, which, though minute in size, have long, prickly, and very active tails. The germs are eaten by insects visit- ing the plants, and remain alive in their bodies. Further experiments were made in. connection with the deadly disease known as "black sickness," and also with one so-called trypanosma infec- tions. In both cases it was' disclosed that' the prickly plants on which the tailed germs were first discovered, and the enormous spread of suck diseases in swampy countries where parasitical insects may infect large areas can well be imagined.

Since it is a place where human na- ture is constantly under examination and illustration, there is plenty of. humor to be found in the solemn pro- ceedings of the court room. One of the very best court anecdotes' ie told by the eminent English advocate Sir Ernest Wild, ICC. A civil action was being hettrd in a certain court of justice, and counsel, having opened the case, called the Plaintiff, whereupon a member of the jury rose, left the jury box and made' his way to the witness box. Asked what he was doing, he said that he was the plaintiff.' "Then what are you doing an the Jury?" said the judge. "1 was summoned to sit on the jury," said the men, producing the sinhnlons. "But surely," said the judge, "you know that yen cannot help to try your own case?" ""Well," said the baffled one rueful- ly "I -slid think it was a bit of luck," Mlnard'a Liniment Behaves Paton.

On"arriving at the lat- ter post it was learned that the main building there was burned in .February but all the men at the post were well. The Arctic proceeding north reached Rice Strait on August 11 and estab- lished a cache. Rice strait is the body of water separating Pim Island, of which the eastern extremity is Cape Sabine, from the mainland. The Arctic then returned southward and made Macias Harbor on the 17th, where the new post was established and the buildings erected. The latest wireless message received August 28 indicated that the Arctic was then at Ponds In- let and that all were well. The mail for Captain Donald B. Mac- Millan, the United States explorer, was not delivered, as he was not seen nor any word received from him.

A quaint ceremony is observed at Boyden, in Norfolk, England. About thre hundred years ago the Lord of the Manor bequeathed the sum of (.1.000, the interest from which was to be voted annually to provide dowries for four brides. Under the terms of the bequest, the money has to be -divided between the youngest, the eldest, the shortest, an dthe tallest brides married during the course of each year in the parish church. This entails the "measuring of the bride." After the marriage ceremony the bride and bridegroom proceed to the vestry to sign the register, and the bride, is then measured by the officiat- ing minister. In order that her cor- rect stature may be ascertained, she is required to remove her shoes and let down her hair. At the end of the year the marriage records are exam- itied, and the dowries awarded to those qualified to receive them. To -day many people seem inclined to do as little as possible, but to get aS much money as possible and to spend it extravagantly.—Field-Mar- shal Sir William Robertson.

Pinkham's Vege. table Compound I Crandall, Manitoba.—" When I was a young girl at home and working I had terrible pains, almost more than I could bear, and I was not regular. These troubles kept zee so tired all the time that I had no strength and no ambition to join in with my friends and have a good time. I was just tired and miser- able always and life just seemed as if it wasn't worth living. I saw so much in the papers about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then I had a friend who had taken it and told me about it, so I got some. Every month after taking it 1 got stronger and I soon did not suffer every month. It stopped the pains and helped lee other ways. Then when my babies were coming I was tired and worn out the first three months and ached badly. I took the Vegetable Compound right along and must say it made a new woman of me and able to do my work, and it helped me through confinement. You see I am 'a fartner'o wife with a big house to look after, and three babies now. I have told ever so many women about your medicine. Just last week Igof a let ser from my old chum in the East. Her baby was born fifteen days before mine and she told ire she was not feeling very well her back aches so much, and that she is going to take the same medicine I took.
