Surnames and Their Origin
RUSSELL
Variations—Roussel, Rouse, Ruse.
Racial. Origin—Norman-French.
Source—A nickname.
The: family name of Russell is, in a
'sense„ :akin .to that of Reid, and its
variations, Reed and Read. It comes
from an old English word meaning
"red,"; which, however, was of Nov -
man rather than Anglo-Saxon speech.
Thisword was "rouse," and has sur-
vived to -day only as "russet," with a
"Cm OLDEN -brown

piping hot, may be

meaning "brownish -red) somewhat dif-
ferent from the original
As might be expected it was, to-
gether with the sobriquet "le Rede,"
just about as widespread as red hair
was, for apparently there is no per-
sonal• characteristic which the human
eye singles out more quickly in a reran
to differentiate him from hie fellows
than a red head. •
The name "le -Rouse" and "le Rus-
sel" appears frequently in the old re-
cords, the so-oalleld "Hundred Rolls,"
the "Munimenta Gild Lallac Londonlen-
sis" (Minutes of the London Guild-
hall), etc.
An explanation for the name Rues,
which form is also found among the
old records, but an explanation which
probably has little foundation of fact,
is that this name was derived from
the nationality of one of the original
bearers; in other words, that it means
"the Russian." While a great many
names ai'e known positively to have
taken their origin from nationality,
the evidence is against the claim in
this case, for it was not customary
among the medieval English who knew
little of the lands to the east of them
beyond the shores of Germany, to
snake any distinction between the
races inhabiting them, all of whom
they referred to as Esterlings, or
Easterlings. This objection, however,
does not apply to the explanation in
cases where the name has come to the
United States from other countries.
PALMER
Variations—None.
Racial Origin—Medieval
Sou rce—Descriptive.
Palmer is a very appropriate family
name for a crusader. Its origin is
traced straight back with little varia-
tion or change to the days when the
spirit of fighting religion s -wept over
all Europe and crusade after crusade
was launched at the Turk with the
object of winning back the Holy Land.
One very old English document,
dating from Norman-French days,
gives a, list, of names, among which is
one Hervey le Palmer. Another men-
tions a"Geoffrey le Palmere, while an
old document of Parliament speaks of
John le Paumer, Harvey the Palmer,
Geoffrey the Palmer and John the
Palmer.

palmer was one who had -made a pie-
grimage to the Holy Land, either as a
warrior fighting the Turk or simply as
a.• traveler actuated by religious fer-
vor.
The descriptive appellation of pal -
mer sr quite naturally developed into a
family name on a very large scale. In
the first place, there were• many pil-
grims. In the second place, the man
who had made the pilgrimage was like--
ly to be considered the most import•

generations before and after; and
therefore the most likely individual In
his family to perpetuate his name to
the extent of its being permanently
accepted in the course of years as the
family name.

A Condition Known as General
Debility Due to Watery Blood.
General debility is a term used to
describe a weak and run down condi-
tion of the system. Debility may come
from a number of causes. The after
effects of acute illness, lack of nourish-
ment due to poor digestion, overwork
or worry, or anything that makes the
blood thin, thereby preventing it from
carrying nourishment and health to
the tissues of the body. The symp-
toms -of debility vary, but weakness is
always present, often a tendency to be
easily fatigued, spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wake-
fulness caused by inability to stop
thinking, and unrefreshing sleep.
Mr. Lorenza L. Gamache, Rockland,
Ont., was a severe Sufferer from this
trouble and tells how he found release.
He says:—"Two years ago I was .in
that condition which medical men call
general debility. I made periodical
visits to Montreal for fourteen months
to undergo electric treatment. At the
end of this time I was feeling well and
thought with proper care I would•con-
tinue in good health. But in the course
of a month or so the symptoms came
back more acute than ever. I lost ap-
petite and could hardly sleep during
the night, and what sleep I had was
disturbed with nightmares. I had
headaches and the least effort was
telling on my nerves. I always felt
pains somewhere, and had to lose
much time. After suffering for three
months, trying various things without
good results, T was terribly depressed
and disheartened. Oue day -I, met . a
friend 'cilia noted howj pale a eethin I
was and he so strongly recommended
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I deter-
mined to give them a fair trial. I got
six boxes and began the treatment at
once. After I had taken four boxes I
began to notice an improvement in my
health. I could sleep better, and I
scarcely had a headache. Since that
time my health has been steadily im-
proving and now I feel just as well as
ever. I have gained twenty pounds
since I began the treatment. Now I
would not be without Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills in the home, and strongly
recommend them to all who suffer
from a depressed system and the aches
that follow."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer,'or by mail at 50 cts.

shiploads of Girls.
For .every 100 women in Canada
there are 106 men. So Canada solves
the problem of importing women from
England as was done 300 years ago
by the -American colonies, And the
plan suite: England, for statisticians
estimate England has a surplus of
2,000,040 women. Parties of women
and, girls are formed in England,
brought to Canada under reliable ee-
cort, and offered, jobs in whatever line
of work:•they may choose. As each
ship, lands, scores of housewives are
on hand to hire servants, and farmers,
to offer thein jobs In the rural dis-
tricts, . says Capper's Weekly. So far
as the Marriage question is concerned,
the.women have proved able to take
care of that detail. Records show that
most of the girls are married within
a .year and settle down on farms of
their own.
She Knew Sheep.
After the city -bred young woman
was put in charge of a country school,
to the class in arithmetic she said:
''Now,' children, if there are ten
sheep` on one side of a fence and one
jumps over, how many sheep will be
left?"
"No sheep, teacher," answered a
tow -headed little lass of ten summers.
"Oh, no!" cried the city young wo-
man, reproachfully. 'You are not so
stupid as that! Think again. If there
were ten sheep on one side of the
fence andone sheep jumped over, nine
sheep would be left. Don't you see
thatV'
"No! no! no!" persisted the oh11d.
"If one 'sheep jumped over, all the
others would jump after it. My father
keeps sheep."
Then, seeing the puzzled look on the
teacher's face, the little tow -head ex-
plained ,apologetically: "You know
'rithmetic, miss, but I know sheep."

mothers' beet friend in preventing or
banishing colds. They act as a gentle
laxative, keeping the bowels and stom-
ach free and sweet. An occasional
dose of the Tablets will prevent colds,
or if it does come on sud•deniy their
