Variations-MacNevin, Bone, Bonass, Bowen. Racial Origin—Irish. Source --A given name. The family name of Nevin should not be confused with that of. Niven, though, owing to the ease with which one forin may be corrupted into the other through the simple transposi- tion of vowels which sound very much alike, there is no doubt that there have been. many instances. in which Niven has been changed into Nevin, and vice versa. The family name of Nevin, unlike Niven, is distinctly Irish. It is not found among the historical lists of the Scottish clans. It is derived from the given name of "Cnamhin," which means a bone," and appears in its true Irish form as "O'Cnaimhin" or "MacCnaimhin," with a pronunciation virtually the same as "neuro. In some cases Irish clans of this name trace it back to a younger broth- er of "Owen 1VLor," or Owen the Great, one of the ancient Irish monarchs, though the family name does not track back to this same individual in all cases. At various periods under pressure of English laws and customs, the name has been translated into the English equivalent "Bone," and into Bonass and Bowen on account •of their similar sounds. Thereis a family name of Bowen, also of Welsh origin, but it is not the . • same, being the modern form of "Ap- Owen," or "son of Owen." ARBUTHNOT Racial Origin—Scottish. Source -A locality. Several conflicting and fenoifui explanations have been given of the origin of the family name of Arbuth- not. The truth is that it is one of those family names which were originally` place names', and in its first use it de- signated merely the place from which the individual had come or the terri- tory over which he held some sort of suzerainty. Arbuthnot is a place in Scotland. The older records show it was at one time spelled Aberbuthnoth. One family bearing this name at least traces -back in unbroken line to the period in the Middle Ages when the name was deliberately adopted as a result of the feudal sway which it held over the district. But while there is a chance that any one bearing this family name might trace his ancestry specifically to this family at some period or other, it does not necessarily follow that such is the case. Some ancestor who merely lived in that district might have be- come known by the name upon his moving to some other locality. Wheth- er feudal sway or mere former resi- dence was indicated, the prefix to the family name in the first place would have been the same, "de," the Norman- French method of saying "of."

In their early teens it is quite com- mon for girls to ' outgrow their strength, and mothers should careful- ly watch the health of their daughters at this time, for it is when strength is sapped by too rapid growth that. anaemia develops. The first signs may be noticed by peevishness, lan- guor and headaches. The face grows pale, breathlessness 'and palpitation' follow, with low spirits. At the first symptom of anaemia mothers should act at once. Neglect- ed anaemia often•leads to decline, but if you see that your daughter's blood` is enriched there need be no cause for anxiety.

Years go, when I lived in a cold house and the plants would freeze now and then or get chilled enough never to be really nice, I learned the value of the hardy bulbs. I could have flowers even if the soil in the pots should freeze .a crust. A light chill, had no, effect on even the more tender sorts, such as the paper -whites. and freesias, while the hyacinths; seemed to welcome the cold. Then if I wanted flowers in a room where T' kept no fire, but where the temperra- ture was well above freezing: around 50 or 60 . degrees most of the time—I could have them, for all the hardy bulbs like such cool quarters. They will do better in a cool room than in a warm one, though in the ordinary liv- ing -room temperature they will do well. if kept moist.--H..t. Youth Asks.

An American tourist was shown to a .room in a hotel in Brussels, where he found twenty candles stuck in a chan- delier. As it was dark, the attendant lighted them all, but the guest had been in European hotels before and made him put them out immediately. This was of no avail, however,. In his bill next day he found them charged— "Twenty. candles, ten francs" (two dol- lars). He went back to the roam and took out all the candles, wrapped each one in a bit of paper and slipped them into his overcoat pocket. When he was about to leave the house he found the servants • drawn up in two lines in the hall, ten men servants on one side, the maid servants on the other, all smiling and ready for the expected tip.. Then he drew out his package and dis- trlbutd the candles, one to each.. "Al- low me, monsieur," he said, with a bow; "permit me, madame. They are very superior candles. I can assure you, I paid ten cents apiece for them." Then he stalked out and left them all staring at the candles like a set of wooden images. PC' s Sweeten he Stomach Drivers Improve With Age. According to Dr. J. J. Snow, nation- ally known psychologist, automibile drivers between the ages of 30 and . 39 are least likely to have accidents, while those 'from 20 to 29 are consti- tutionally more careless. The old supposition that married men are less likely than single men to have aoci, dents has been definitely disproven, he declares.

Is Britain becoming higher in the north and lower in the south? Scien- tists say that it is. Recently a number of readings have been taken to find out the height above sea -level of the land in various districts, The results show that since the last readings were taken, about fifty years ago, the North of Scotland has risen about half an inch, while the South of England has sunk by rather less than that distance. It is already an accepted fact that land is rising and falling in other parts of the world. The •coast of Nor- way, for instance, is rising about half an inch a year, while the coast of Hol- land is sinking by that amount. Britain once formed part of the mainland of Europe. The land in be- tween gradually sank until the sea covered it and formed the English Channel and the North Sea. Such earth movements, gradual or convulsive, are in operation ceaseless- ly upon the earth's surface. Their im- pulse seemingly arises from the fact that, the core of the earth being of heavier material than the crust en which we live, the latter naturally re- sponds to the expansion or shrinkage of the mass, largely metallic, which it surrounds. A Fight Under the Sea. A diver named Cappadona tells a graphic story of a terrific underwater -encounter which he has just had with a sting -ray more than a yard square. While repairing cables off the French Mediterranean coast, Cappa- dona spotted the fish behind some rocks. Suddenly the ray dashed at him and almost stunned him with a blow of the tail. The man defended himself with the dagger divers always carry and stab- bed the fish between the eyes, but a perfect rain of tail blows followed, and tiie fish only made off when apparently bleeding to death. The sting -ray emits electrical shocks with its tail. When drawn up, Cappadona was found to have a seriously 'wounded arm.

NERVES AND FAINTING SPELLS Sent Woman to Bed. Great Change After Taking Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound Sarnia, Ontario.—" After my girlie was born 1 was a wreck. . My nerves were too terrible for words and I sim- ply could not stand or walk without pains. I suffered with fainting spells until I was no longer any good for my household duties and had to take to my bed. The doctor said I should have an operation, but I was not in a fit condition at that time. My neighbor said, 'Why don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg- etable Compound? I am sure it will do you good and will save those doctor's bills.' So I was advised by my husband to try it after I told him about it. I am very thankful to say that I was soon able to take a few boarders for a while as rooms were scarce at that time. My baby is 17 months old now and I have not yet had an operation, thanks to your medicine. I have recommended the Vegetable Compound to a few people I know and have told them the good it has done me. I know I feel and look a dif- ferent woman these last few months and I certainly would not be without a bottle of your medicine in the house. You can use this letter as you see fit, as I should be only too glad for those suffering as I have to know what. it has done for me."—Mrs. ROBERT G. MAC- GREGOR, R. R. ,No. 2, Sarnia, Ontario.
