Rectal Origin—English, Source—A locality. One history of the family name of Abram ha,s been discussed in a pre- vious article. It is the obvious and in-, deed by far the most common origin.,. But there is another. '1xto family name of Abram is not al- waY.3 acontracted form et the Biblical givi si name of Abraham. If you will take down your atlas and "leaf lee diligently the map of England, speellcally in Lancashire, you will find a litahs town which beam this name. laeval are the successive steps. Ad- bu.eiiam was ' originally pronounced with the"'gh" somewhat like the sound --which the modern German gives to "ch." It was an aspirate somewhat hoarser than our present softly breath- ed "11," but, not a full guttural like the bane "g." The first stage was the ten -I deucy to soften this. "h," making the pronunciation "ad -bur -hare." The next step was to slur over the vowel in the second syllable, which at the same time involved silencing the "h," giving as the pronunciation "ad-bram." But the combination of "dbr" is a bit diffi- cult, so that in everyday speech the "d" 'would be neglected, giving "ab- raih;" The changing of the "a" to the present "long'{ sound of that letter as in "dey," weal part of a,general trend of the English tongue In comparative- ly m'oder,i tiin'eb: RINGGOLD. Racial Origin -Welsh. Source -A locality. Here is.a family name calculated to throw you on the wrong track at once, Superficial consideration would class- ify it as probably of Anglo-Saxon or general Teutonicorigin, a combination of the two words which have given us our modern words "ring" and "gold," and the farmer of which was used in very early Saxon days to --mean "money" (rings being used then as cur- rency). • But the surname of "Ring -gold" has nothing to do either with "ring" or "gold." It was, not originally an Eng- lish or Teutonic word. .It was Cymric, or Welsh. or did it designate any kind of article, but rather a kind of place or locality. "Mongol," the older form, had the same meaning as the ,Anglo-Saxon word "cliff," that is, either a steep. bank or a cleft through high ground. And so as a family name it leas the •same meaning, and is in fact the Welsh couiiterpart of such names as Cliff and Cleve. Of course, in its first use as a sur- name its descriptive use, it was pre- ceded by a prefix meaning "at," "or". or "from" in exactly the same manner that the earliest forms of the name Cliff are found with a prefixed' "aftte" ("at' the") "dr "de Ia" ("a the"), show- ing, conalusivelty .its origin as indicat ling the place of residence of the first bearers, ' "ripe unto harvest," .live miles long, throe miles wide, with twenty-six new houses, gardens,, barns, stock, pets, treasures, medals, gone.

Every mother hopes thather child will be a model child, and some secret- ly think that theirs are models, al- though they are ape to add that they "don't expect children to be perfect!" But we quote a wise old French philosopher, "Children need models rather than critics." When we come to sift the matter down a model child needs a nfodel. mother. A school teacher readily recognizes those children whose mothers are "on their job," for well-behaved children come from such homes. And while mother's influence is first, nearest and most personal. The hand that tubks the cover in at night is mare intimate than the one which corrects the arith- metid; paper! Of course the conscientious mother teaches her .child honesty, kindliness, charity, :thrift, good manners and many other details of good character and ' breeding. But the model child is not conscious of .such teaching,- the model -neither teaches,by example. Children, being extremely imitative naturally, observe and copy whatever is close at hand. The model mother does not say, WouNG MOTHERS h"Rereswpaeyc,t hyeorusrelefl, dteorss, hoswdgeference otfo the grandparents, and the children un- ccinsciously take the cue in their man- ners toward old age. If 'a mother's voice is sweet and gentle, children, are far less likely to snarl at each other. If she is scrupu- lous about paying bills and giving everyone his due, the model child like- wise scorns to cheat. Baby's Own Tablets Have Many Uses and Are Absolutely Harmless.

Decorated glass which is not "cut" has been moulded, that is, it has been poured while molten into a mould, and allowed to cool off, jelly -fashion, Whatever care is used in the pro- cess, however, the result Is never quite. perfect.

Minard's Llttilrneht for Distemper. • AKing'sS plicltY• You may remember that, during the war, King George cut down his wine list to a minimum and lived on the very simplest fare. In setting this ex- ample during a time of need he was not really departing greatly from his normal tastes, for he likes homely diet and prefers simplicity at meals to os- tentation. • • When -he strolls to Sandringham House from York Cottage to have a meal with his mother, he is 'always dis- tressed if a ,special dish is prepared for him.'. One day, when he dropped in to .lunch and an extra item was added at the eleventh hour, he exclaimed: "Why should all this fuss be made, just because I come to lunch?" . All the same, if ever the King eon - descended to visit my house, I should not be able: to resist the impulse to pro- vide all extra course or two. And.I would see that the fish course did not include plaice. 'This is the only fish King George does not enjoy. • ,Ask for Minard's and take no other. Nothing cools love so rapidly as a hot temper.
