name.
WESCOTT
Variation_•- Westcott.
Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon.
Source --A locality.
The latter of these two surname
forms is more indicative of their origin
than the former,
Just as there has been a curious
growth in the meaning of place names
ending in 'ham," in England, tire end-
. lag "cote" or "cott" has come to have
a much more inclusive meaning than
It had originally.
The ending "ham," 'which we have
to=day preserved in its more developed+
meaning in the word "hamlet," even
though this is a diminutive by virtue-
of
irtueof the "let," was originally the same
as the word "home."
In very modems tunes we have come
to regard a "cottage" as a 'sort of sum-
mer home of the wealthy, but only a
short time ago it had the nieaning"of
a humble little home. And back in the
Anglo-Saxon days, before the English
felt the necessity for, or thought of the
possibility of family navies, the "cote"
was pretty much the same as the
"ham," or homestead, except that it
was a more humble dwelling. But in
the course of time, as the "ham" came
to include, when part of a.place name,
all the buildings which ultimately
grouped around the original homestead
in the growth of a community, so the
"cote" ending came to designate all
the buildings and additional cottages
which were built around that one
which was responsible for the place
name.
As a family name Wescott, or West -
'Cott, was originally significant merely
of the fact that the bearer came from
CALDW ELL.
Variations—Calwell, Caldwell.
Rada Origin --English.
Source—A locality.
o that
One theory as. to the origin of this
family name ascribes it to the com-
bination of the words "col," meaning
the hazel, and "weld" or wood, malt-
sing the meaning of „the family naive
"Hazelwood." it is an explanation by
no means unreasonable, and in some
instances it may very well account for
the .existence of the name.
Probability, however, points in an;
other direction for the'majority.of peo-
ple who bear this name. And this
time, it is the obvious one, a conibin.a-
tion of the two words' "cold" and
"well." This is supported by the fact
that in some of the old records the
original form of the surname is found
with the "dela" ("of the") prefixed, At
Ithe period when these words were pre -
vexed, the name must have been indica-
tive of the locality in which the person.
lived, and "cold -well" would' not have
been confused with. "hazel -wood."
The form of Caldwell is, of course,'
but a more modern variation in spell-
ing, developed at a period when spell
l ing was not so standardized as .to -day,
but after the period when such family
names continued to have a descriptive
meaning.
Sometimes Caldor -ell ie a variation
developed by the elimination of the
"I." But there is a village in Wales
called. Caldwell, and this form of the
name has come from that source.

"He subjected • every ' illustration
when finished to a minute examination
under a magnifying gl. ss•," said Mr.
Furniss. "He would take a square
inch of the_ drawing, count the lines I
had made in that space and compare
their number with those made on a
square inch of illustration for Alice by
Tenniel. In due course I would re-
ceive a long essay on the subject from
Dodgson, the mathematician"
It was too much! Mr. Furniss stood
it for a while and then declared that
if it were to continue he must throw
up the job. Mr. Dodgson was shocked
and surprised; he wrote that it was a
cruel disappointment to him to receive
such a declaration "on account of a

ing on the prairie, and knowing that
there are thousands• of, women like
myself miles away from a doctor, I

have little. energy. I felt weary and

I would advise women, particularly
those on the prairie or the farm, to

being transmitted through milk? Let

milk we drink is produced. Pay a

If you can, use only pasteurized or

best safeguard against the spread of
