Poison Ivy.
Year atter year, as folks fare forth
to camp or ruiner cottage, interest in
poison ivy revives. Many have yet to
'sawn to recognize these low, busy,
• slightly -woody -stemmed plants, rising
from long rootstocks at just below
ground level, and 'bearing the charge-
, terisitie leaves of 'triple;, snnoothieh,
pointed leaflets, and frequently, the
old olusters of round, whitish fruits
beneath them.
Failing to, recognize and' avoid the
plants, many people, susceptible to
Poisoning, and themselves presently
interested in remedies. Few semi to
be aware that on contact with the
' weedy or even with shoe; tools, etc.,
that have been in contact, they should
promptly remove all traces of its viru-
lent oil by freely lathering the skin
with strong soap, and rinsing under
hot running, or constantly changed
water. Inflammaition resulting from
unsuspected exposure, or neglect of the
above precau'tion's•, may be relieverl by
applying soltutione of baking soda or
Epsom salts; one or two teaspoonfuls
to a oup • of water, and bandaging.
Various elaborate treatments are of-

It is 'surprising how few efforts are

A name that will always be remem-

days of wireless is .that of Jaek Binns.
He was one of the first operators to
send out an S.O.S. in mid -ocean, and
at grave risk to his own life—for he
was on a burning ship—he remained'
at his poet till the last moment and
was thus instr'umenta•1 in saving hun-
dreds os lives. Binns's heroism made
a tremendous stir, and music -]call man-
agers 'competed ivedely, for his ser-
vices,.
The idea was to Ex up a wireless,
room en the stage, and for Binns to re:
ant the S.O.S. call before enthusiastic
and applauding au•ctienoes. But to all
these blandishments the young man
replied that he was an electrician by
profession and not a music -hall per-
former.

DRAPER
Racial Origin—Engl lsh.
Source—An occupation.
There seems to be an almost never-
ending source of surnames in the oc
oupatioais of medieval England, not-
witbis+tainiddng the fact that in those
da3ss' • th,e number of occupations and
professions was more limited than in
our highly specialized industrial and
commercial organization of -to -day.
Deeper is one of •tb sae. To the Eng-
lishman the source of this .family name
presents no mystery, for the word is
still in everyday trade use in his coun-
try' But though the same trade exists
in the United States., the trade name
is seldom met with.
The "draper" is a dry goods mer-
chant. And he watts, back in the Muddle
Ages, at the period when populations
began to expand so rapidly thatin the
individual communities bene were not
enough given names to go around, and
a mazes neighbors and acquaintances
in speakiwg of him took to the xtientioar
of bts occupation or his parentage to
distinguish him from some other who
bore the seame given name.
Thus the family name of Draper -was
originally descriptive of the mercan-
tile calling of its bearers, an4, was pre-
ceded by "le" meaning "the." The pre-
fix however, in latex generations was
dropped as useless after the name be-
came a family ane and -ceased to be
merely deaeriptive.
LLOYD.
Variation—Lhuyd.
Racial Origin—Welsh,
Source—A given name or a descrip-
aive one,
The family name of Lloyd i$ some
times thongh `infrequently today,
spoiled Lhuyd.
It is a Welsh name, rather common-
ly ; met with ,in England and particular-
ly so in the Central Eastern section of
the Mated States, notably in Pennsyl-
vania, where the Welsh played an im-
portant part in early colonization.
Ae a family name its use traoes back
both to the given name, atud to its use
as a descriptive surname, for the word
means • "brown," and like such Gaelic
names as Dougall and Douglas, which
meant dark, it became a given name.
Again it was used, as "dI1 u" and
"dubh" have been used in Scotland and
Ireland, as a' sort of surname, descrip-
tive either of the personal appearance
of the, bearer or of that od the particu-
lar branch of his family frown whioh
he came. ;
In shirt, in many instances, its de-
yelopment into a family name has
paralleled that of the English family
mare; of Brown, the meaning of which
is the same.

oda. Why not, indeed, right here in
our own locality? The speaker of the
day was 1VIr. J. S. Atkinson, of the
Canadian Bureau for the Advancetnent
of Music.
In opening his address ou "The
Powee of. Mule," Mr. Atkinson said
that until the war he was'airnos•t en-
tirely ignorant et the 'enormous power
of music. In the Great War, muse en-
couraged the troop's on the anaroh and
made them forget their • fatigue and.
inspired them togreater effort. He
spoke of the pep which the singing of
patriotic song's injected into the sol-
Biers, and the moral effeot it had upon
them.
'.nne speaker spoke of the great in -
faience of music upon the Russians.
The children were taught the Russian
folk songs when they were very young,
and were brought up in an atmosphere
of 'good music, A Russian princess
once told him that during the dark
days of Russia she could not havelived
without music, as it made her forget
her sufferings and misery. Mr, Atkin-
son related a number of interesting
stories of the Russian people and their
manner of living, and gave several in-
stances showing their love of music
and as• effect upon them.
The greatest agency for the devolop-
ing of the appreciation of music wasin
the schools, and froin the schools it
would permeate the homes. In a num-
ber of schools in Canada and the
United ,States' .music was being taught.
During the course of a year the pupils
were made familiar with about fifty i
pieces of good music. They were
taught something about' the various
composers and the circumstances un -f
der which the number was composed.
At the end of a year a contest was
held and a number of selections were
played for the pupils, who wrote the
names of the selections played and
rife names of the composers. By this
plan they were made familiar with.the'
masterpieces of musical literature and
helped toward the appreciation of good
music. Music was of the greatest im-
portance in education and had great
educative value.' It improved the mem-
ory and the power of concentration
and made the pupils better students
intellectually and spiritually. In a
number of high schools and universi-
ties music was made optional instead
of some other subject.
In concluding, Mr. Atkinson spoke of
the use of music in industries. In a
number of factories in the United
States and England, as well as in Can-
ada, a few minutes a day were spent in
a general sing -song. Many employers
considered this period the most lucra-
tive of the day, because it increased
the production and created a bond of
agreement between employer and em-
ployee. • For the employees it gave
them relaxation and added •eontent
ment to the worker.
