To understand the frequency with which this family naive is met to -day :some explanation of the social organi- zation of England in the Middle Ages,�n eollowing the Norman-French. occupa- ti, is' necessary Tke life and business and social cus- toms of the Normans ware highly or- ganized, Disciplined, perhaps, would be a better word. The Norman's .ex- tended their conquest over such a large portion of northern Europe be- cause of the very higb organization and discipline structure. They won their wars because they regarded war -and the preparation for it as "thor- oughly a business preposition," to ap- ply a modern. phrase. • In this they were like the Romans, and, unlike the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts, who pre- ceded them in England, and who, though fighters cf the utmost personal bravery and prowess, Merited that dis- cipline, sense of co-operation and rath- er scientific attitude which marked- the Normans. An important part of the Norman organization, for peace and war both, was the office of the "chamberlain," so called because he had access to his superiors' inner privacy. The'cham- berlains were, in fact, theprivate f secretaries and treasurers ethe rulers of the various feudal divisions, of the , country. They were the expert ac- countants. They constituted the busi- ness end of the Norman feudal' sys- tem. And it was natural that their offices, like the authority of their superiors, should become hereditary and that the title of "de la chambre ("of the chamber") and "le chamber- lain" ('the chamberlain") should eventually come to designate • the family instead of the office and that the tendency toward -simplicity should eliminate the prefixes 'de la" and; "le" i Take a walk in the woods in the bright moonlight ., . and you will marvel at the tricks which those black shadows of the trees can play with the most familiar soenes.

"It is. not possible, my dear, for you to keep these children quiet for a mo- ment?" asked the tired businessroan of his wife. es "Now, Jack," she answered, "don't be unreasonable with the poor inno- cent little darlings: Iit's only natural for them to be full of spirits,and they're being as quiet as they cam" "Hum! Perhaps," came the doubt- ful rejoinder. "But if I thought I could h ave a moment's peace I'd sit down and fill in that cheque you've b rying me about." "Children," called the mother stern- ly, "off to bed at once and sharp about ite and if there's any noise upstairs there'll be trouble in the morning." SMITH Variations— Smyth, Smythe, Schmidt, Faber, Lefeeree Favre, Faure. !racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon, Old Ger- man and Old English. Sow-pe—An "Qcc1pation; also geo-- praphicei. There Was apresident of France, not so many years ago, whose name was often in"°C"*anadian newspapers and is known to virtualle everybody. His . name was Felix Faure. You wouldn't think that was the saline as Felix. Smith—but it is. Smith is the most widespread family name in the world, bar none. The -name of Smith, in its various forms and compounds, not to mention various � tongues, occurs thousands of times to a single instance of any other surname, with tbesol'e exception of Jones; but even the Jones of the world could not hope to poll more than a weak minor- ity vote against the Smiths'. It would be futile to try to tell every- thing about the Smith names in an article'ot this size, but just to lay out the ground for future discussions of its vaxlous forms, this much may be pointed out: A smith, in medieval times, was a worker in metal, and the various forms of metal working constituted the largest and most profitable industry of the Middle Ages, throughout Europe. Smith, : • Smythe awlSmyth "collie down' to us from the old Anglo-Saxon tongue. The -word means, specifically, one who smites, the name being de- rived from the same root as the verb "to smite." Smythe and Smyth are closer to the original spelling than Smith. Old spellings are "Smethe," "Smeyt" "Smyth" and "Smyt." Schmidt is the German name; Le- fevre reliesle Fevre), rare and Faure are French. forme developed from the Latin word for smith, "faber," which also comes down through English from Norman-French days.

From thousands of patients tested during the last few years, it has been found that Hay Fever is seasonal and caused chiefly by pollenating grasses in June, rose pollen in July, ragweed pollen in August. Nine out of every ten people suffering from Fall Hay Fever in Ontario can blame ragweed This plant ti•egins to pollenate August 15th. The pollen, being as light as down, is blown by the wind to a dis- tance of 100'miles in all directions. Cause: Some people can breathe the pollen of certain plants and the lining of the nose treats it as ordinary dust; but others suffer extremely after breathing air laden with pollen, due to inflammation of the nose and eyes be- cause the lymph in .their blood (for some unknown reason) tries to digest the pollen as it touches the lining of the nose. Once a person becomes sus- ceptible to this irritation, he will suffer from it for the rest ofhis life. Helpful Hints: Prevent the attack by avoiding the pollen; during the poI- lenating season of the particular plant which irritates you, go to a district where the air is tree from that pollen. Three days in such air will see a com- plete cure. Treatment: No inhalation or other treatment for the pose is of any use no patent medicine will cure hay fever. The only helpful treatment found as yet is injections of an extract of the particular pollen causing the individ- ual case, It is effective and many peo- ple who have been victims for years have found the treatment reduced their suffering to aboue only one -twentieth of the ureal time; it must, however, be repeated each year. The treatment is rather costly and can only be ob- tained from the few physicians who have given it special study. Secrets.

One was .reading a letter. while the other was listening, at the same time holding his hands over_the ears of the reader, 'What are you men doing?" inquired the puzzled employer. "You see, sir," answered the one who was pearling the letter, "he got a letter from his girl this afternoon and ; 1 am reading it to, hila." "But what in the world are yeti do - Ing?" the•employer asked the illiterate one. 'Oh," replied Jones. "I'm stopping up his ears.

A Hay Wagon, There went a hay wagon along th lane one summer evening, a wagon heaped high with the sweetness" of th year, a load tossed up and .up into th faint blue, overflowing the :vide -spread sides, and bales:wing skillfully above the horse's back. There lay a harvester atop of the load with his face to the evening air 1w-lishere he pitchfork stoodrust• iuptrigbesht !n the ahxiya. had thide his 'ga•itered legs dangled down enaon t.ihe bilttercups and the clover herds. Slowly. the wago;h trundled to:ong lurching in the rutted way, a clurne seeming (thing, too wide for the iltt1 lane. And the hedges snatched at the wool of the sheep, and the spiders webs that float by: in the early morn ing. Sometimes in a distant land of sand and heat, wheu evening is heavy above and below, S think of the harvester • atop of the load, with the scent of warmed flower.: about aim and the sound in hie ears ofhoney bees, while hovering in the wake are one or two white butterflies like gulls • around the stern of a ship. And then I close mY eyes and feel for the cart ruts with my feet, and lift 'my head for the caw of the evening rooks; but only sand is there, and no sound, and a round yel- low sun caught by my eye, and thrown upon t'lie tracks before me. It might have been a buttercup—it night have been! -'-but the sands have swallowed it up. It will be evening—soon—in Eng- land, and there will be hay wagons in the lanes! e e e a. d g e Keep Minard's Liniment handy. Correcting Poetry by Mathematics. How often distinguished intellectual gifts lack the saving salt of "common sense," or to put it another way, the sense of humor! In Dr. Hanbury Han - kin's "Common Sense and Its Cultiva- tion" we read an amusing failure of the merely scholarly mind to perceive that it was making itself ridiculous, Charles Babbage was an eminent English mathematician and philoso- t pher of the nineteenth century, the author of a good many profound and impressive works. When Tennyson wrote his poem, "The Vision of Sin," i I3abbage read it. After doing so he wrote the following extraordinary let-' ter to the poet: "In your otherwise beautiful poem, here is a verse which reads: 'Every moment dies a man, Every moment one is born.' "It must be manifest that, were this rue. the population of the world would e at a standstill. In truth the rate of firth is slightly in excess of that of eath.
