S� un : Life Establishes Great • Record. • The fifty-fourth annual report of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Cana da, now being published, once again shows -• inspiring gains both in re sources and in the spread .of the Com- pany's operations. All previous re- cords of the Company, outstanding as they have been, have been greatly overreached. 43;671 new policies were issued and paid for during 1924, rn addition, a large block of profit- able British and foreign business has been acquired from a big American company by re -assurance, as well as the business of a Colonial company operating in the hast. The world-wide organization or the Sun Life easily ad- mits of the absorption of this business to advantage. The policies of a small Canadian company were also as- sumed. In earnings from investments the Company's experience has been par= t:icularly gratifying. Both in the in- crease n crease in market value of securities held, amounting to $6,331,377, e,nd the profit on sales wherein the increased value of securities has been capitaI- ized, is reflected the wisdom of the Company's early policy of investment in longterm bonds and similar securi- ties. While it is expected that this in- creased value will be permanent, pos- sible fluctuation has been amply pro- vided for in the contingency account. The rate of interest earned on the mean invested assets advanced to 6.38 per cent. This is exclusive of profits from sales and represents a substantial gain over the previous year's very satisfactory earnings. Policyholders received or had al- lotted' to then profits of $6,681,652 d puring 1924. That the future position of the Com - any shall be even more solid and se- cure, the reserves of its -entire life assurance contracts have been valued at three per cent., while a special an-_ iuity reserve of $750,000 has been set 1p beyond the amount required by the overnment's standard.

Source—An occupation or title. The original meaning of these family names had 1 nothing to do with the word "cleave" in either the sense of cutting or clinging. The source is en- tirely different, and lies in the new obsolete word "claviger." The "claviger" of the middle ages, under the Anglo-Norman system of government held a position similar to those of the modern city or state trea- surer and custodian of public docu- ments combined. Technically he was the "key -bearer," for that is what the word "•claviger" meant. And the key he bore was that of the public tree- . sury. He was the custodian of public moneys and documents, the official who was responsible for their safe- keeping, though not for their collec- tion or expenditure. There was a Robert Clavynger on the medieval parliamentary lists', but the still older forms of the name are to be found in such entries as "John le Clavier," "Henry le Clover" and "John le Clavour." Public offices in those days general- ly were held for life,° as the most usual and effective way of removing an of- ficial from office was to remove him for life, Thus in many instances those titles stuck long enough to the inclivid'• nal, and were even paneled down with the" office from father to son, to be. • come fancily names, H UTTO N Racial Origin --English. Source—A 'locality, also a characteris- tic. This is a family name, Which, if one judged it by one of its meanings alone should be classified as a variation of the names Houghton and Haughton, for in a large number of cases it is de- rived from a place name which means "high -town." Both the piece and the name, however (which is Hutton), have an identity distinct from those concerned in the origin of the names Houghton and Haughton. But there le another derivation of the family name, from the old Nor- man-French word "hutain," meaning "proud." The mention et such char- acteristics' as this in ponnection with a man's name, to distinguish him from some other man with the sane given name, was quite common in the middle ages. At that period, just prior to the development of family names and co- incident with it, populations were in- creasing so rapidly and shifting as well, and the same given names were applied to so many persons, that some further method of differentiation, such as mention of the place whence a man had come, or of some personal char- acteristic of his, was the rule rather than the exception. Those who can trace their ancestry back 'to a form of the name prefixed either by "re" or "le" will have no dif fioulty in determining whether their family names develop from the place name or the nickname. The "de" in- dicates the former and the "le" the later. palace bright.

Ralhh's fattier is a doctor, and Ralph likes to get hold of an old medi- cal case and a hat of his father's and play that he is a doctor also. One day whet the telephone rang he -called out, "Somebody wants mel" and, catching up the hat and case, hurried out the door. "Come back and shut the screen door," called his . moth&i•. Ralph obeyed reluctantly. When ho returned a bit later he looked solemn. "Well, how did you find your patient, Dr. Ralph?" his mother inquired. jocularly,. "Dead," the boy replied accusingly. "Died while I was coming back to shut that door." The bars of a grate often have. a burned and ugly appearance, which prevents their taking a good polish, This difficulty is soon overcome.

Every attack invites another. ARE BANISHED BY There is soarcely any disease whrch physicians find more difficult to treat successfully than rheumatism. Long study, however, has shown that the Seat of the disease is in. the blood. By maintaining the quality of the blood, you are doing the best possible thing to prevent and combat rheumatism, That is why Dr. Wlll4ains' Pink Pills has proved sue oessful in thousands of eases of rheumatism and lumbago,. ')`hese pills enrich the blood and enable it to throw off the Poisons Of the disease. Andso long as the blood is kept pure and rieb, there need be no fear of a return of the trouble.. Mrs, Annie Wright, Woolobester, Alta., says: --"I was a sufferer from rheumatism for six years and most of that time my life was ono' of misery, • X tried several doctors but never got more than temporary relief.

No Brains Needed in Falling in Love,, Science makes another discovery. No great amount of brains is required for falling In. love. Most of us had suspected It, but a scientist tries t�, prove it. He used 200 pigeons. From these he removed the oerebral cortex, the partof the brain that is suposed to do the thinking for folk. The pige- ons recovered from the operation and kept on billing and cooing. The scientist advanced the experiment. He removed more of the pigeons' brains. lie found that of all instincts the love instinct seemed to function on the e slightest amount of brain matter. 'Soo much far science and Iove. Lov- ers needn't feel badly about it. While the experiment indicates that no brains are needed to fall in love it doesn't prove that being in love indi- cates a lack of brains. Love may not lie amenable to reason, but it isn't necessarily feeble-mindedness. If so, it is a pleasant form of insanity--• sometimes. Will a Good Pure Bred Sire Pay? A bull will sire anywhere from one iundred to several hundred calves during his lifetime, 2.—Suppose we place the number of c1ves al one hundred, and suppose the calves by one, bull are worth an. av rage of $5.00 per head more than eali-os:by another bull, what would tbis mean? It would mean that one bull would be worth to his owner $500.00 more than the other bull, exceptthe small- difference in interest on investment. If the difference • in value ° of the calves were $10.00 per head, the differ- ence in the value of the bulls would be $1000.00 and correspondingly greater for wider differences in the value of the calves. There are cases where steers by a good bull have brought $50.00 per head more than steers of the same age by inferior or scrub bulls. These figures should make any man pause before buying an inferior bull , merely because the price is low. It is true that merely paying a high price for a bull does not make hint a good one, and excellent bulls are of- ten bought at very modest prices; but et is equally true that really good bulls are always worth the money paid for them, while inferior bulls are dear at any price. No man can afford to use a scrub bull. A good bull at $1,000.00 is cheap- er than a scrub bull received as a gift, as the figures' given above amply prow. ' It is also worth noting that steers by good bulls have "topped" the open market in Canada and the United States, and still hold several open market high price records. Surely the thoughtful farmer will See to it that the bull he uses in future must be a good pure bred, and the result will be more beef, more milk, and more profit. _c• Pragmatism. Eclipses of the sun in China, as is well known, are greeted by the popu- lace with a great beating of drums, kitchenware, wooden rattles and other; instruments of precussion, for the pur- pose of frightening away the dragon that is preparing to swallow the sun, Is ,this stiperstition or science? After ell, the brass kettle and the firecrack- er as an antidote to solar catastho- phes have worked. The Chinese have been. handling eclipses for five' theus- arid years, and there is no record of a single instance in which the sun failed to reappear.
