Driven from palace to hovel, some: of the members of the aristocracy of old Russia now are peeling potatbes or chopping wood here for a living, says despatch from ,Poland. Five thousand men and women and children, some. of whose resounding titles once brought then homage of courtiers, are clustered here after; hav- ing fled to Poland before the Bolshe- vikf. Helping them to help themselves is Mme. Ludmila Lubinoff, herself a refugee, though born a princess of one of the oldest Russian houses and the wife of the former Civil Governor of Warsaw. This remarkable wonnan is conduct- ing soup kitchens, sewing rooms and workshops for members of her un- happy class, and taking orders from her are men who once commanded the armed forces of the Russian Emperor. On her staff are admirals, generals, governors, mayors and members of the old Petrograd court, while her husband has laid aside his gubernator- ial duties to become her secretary. A Woman of Action. A beautiful woman, she hides the I.ragedy of her life under an optimism that is an example to the unhappy folk to whom she ministers. A woman of action, too, for sbe escaped from Pet- rograd with her tdro sons after freeing her husband from the fortress of Peter and Paul and awning him with a fictitious passport that enabled him to flee to Warsaw. Here the family was reunited. Selling virtually alle she possessed to aid her fellow countrymen, Mme. Lubinoff organized the Warsaw, branch of the Russian Red Cross, which is being aided by the American organization. Sparing not herself, Sime. Lubinoff has not spared the colony of refugees which included many of the former Russian nobility. In the soup kitchen and wood yard, which she esablished in a ,Russian orthodox church at 5. Podwal—a squalid property placed at her disposal -are working men and women of title at tasks which once servants performed for them. In the dingy little courtyard Gen. Oblonsky, formerly architect at the Russian court, chops wood for a living with several officers of the crack im- perial guards, one of whom has lost bis reason and must be watched. In a small and dirty building Prince Meschersky, who was master of cere- monies at the imperial court, peels po- tatoes for his daily bread. Nobility as Servants. In the crowded rooms the meals are served by women of the Russian no- bility --Princess Rukoff, widow of Ad- miral Rukoff, who was executed by the Bolsheviki; Princess Ouchtomsky, whose husband was reputed one of the richest men in Petrograd and is now cashier in tbe next room at 4,000 Polish marks a month, the equivalent of $4 to -day, and • Mme. Iioudravatsky, widow of the Vice-lIayor of Petro- grad, who was put to death by the Red revolutionists. Colonel Isesselaeff of the Iunperial Russian Guards runs errands for Mme. Lubinoff, and refugees who collapse from exhaustion while waiting for their food are attended by Mlle. Cara- gesoff, a former wealthy resident of Petrograd, now a nurse. Working in an American Red Cross warehouse are twenty officers of the Iunperial Guards regiment beaded by M. Reikshensky, a lawyer of Kieff, who arrived in the Polish capital with- out underclothing or footwear: He said his sister had been killed this winter by the Bolsheviki and that the capital of the Ukraine had become a city of the dead. Mine. Lubiiioii boasts a storehouse about the size of a Canadian house- wife's pantry, which is in charge of Michael Slnramcllenko, the son of the Governer" of Tchernikoff, who was killed by the Bolsheviki. The assist- ant store -keeper is Victor Borsenito, who was Governor of Novgorod, When You 'Shake Hands.

Food for Explorers. • Men experienced in Arctic explora- tion are of opinion that, if the frozen wilds of the north are to be invaded by balloons and airplanes—Alaska be- ing particularly in mind where the use of the' latter is concerned—they should take with them suppliee of food in the form of pemmican. Pemmican is concentrated nourish- ment, of small bulk and light weight relatively to its food value, and spe- cially adapted for the support of life in cold latitudes by reason of the fat it contains. In old • times it was pre- pared from buffalo meat, but some In- dian -tribes to -day make , it with beef or the flesh of other animals. Tho original process• of making pem- niican: b;zgan wih slicing buffalo, meat into slabs an inch or less in thickness andhanging these over frames to dry in the sun. Flies were kept off by building a small fire beneath, . When t1wou ;lydy. dried the feat 1iacl slnruniK more than two-thirds in hulk. Then it was roasted slightly to nnalce it brie tie and was reduced to a fine powder by pounding it with flails. Then the hide of a buffalo wee cut and sewn into a "saok, which was filled with as much of the minced meat as it could hold, fat being,finally `poured in scalding hot so as to fill every crevice. Bags of pemmicau thus prepared were so solid that at one time -a quantity of thein were used to buiicl. a redoubt which the Hudson Bay...far traders used during their conflicts with the Northwest Co. ' 'The lnemmicap mannfacured in this way could be converted into shape for eating by simply chopping it up with a hatchet. However,,, itwas better in soup, called "rub -a -boo," or fried in its own fat. Cooked in the latter fas- hion, it was said to taste remarkably like a superior duality of tallow candles. A notable advantage of pemmican is that it wil keep good and wholesome for years.

Boy Scouts are organizations .of boys and youths between the ages of twelve and eighteen years and up- wards, which aim' to develop charac- ter, to aid in furnishing equipment for a career, and to train in service for others, physical health, and efficient citizenship, by utilizing the natural activities and interests of the adoles- cent period. The development of the Boy Scout movement in England is due to Lt. - General Sir Robert Baden Powell, Bt., who during the siege of ]\fafeking, in 1.899, bad seen the boys, under Lord Edward Cecil's command, organized and drilled into an efficient messen- ger service. When Baden-Powell re- turned to England, in 1902, the idea was fostered and received popular support, and a general plan of organi- zation was adopted. 'Tie first Boy Scouts organization was formed in 1908, and a royal charter of incor- poration was granted in 1912, the or- ganization being recognized as a "non- military, public service body." The Boy Scouts Association in Canada is non-military and non-sec- tarian in character, the movement, be- ing supported by Roman Catholics, Protestants and Jews alike. Of late it has also been given consideration as an educational adjunct by well-known educators, some schools adopting the Scout programme in part or as .. whole, while some of the universities and leading techu1oal schools conduct special courses -for Scoutmasters and otber Scout officers. Local Associations or Troop. Com- mittees are organized to supervise and extend the movement in communities upon application by representative citizens to provincial headquarters, Dominion Bank Chambers, Bloor and Sherbourne Streets, Toronto. Such Associations and Committees become responsible both to their communities and to headquarters for the leader- ship of Scout troops in their area and for their encouragement and support. The Scouts themselves are organ- ized into patrols of eight boys, two or three or four patrols to a troop under ing or owning them, they, soheit. eauc tneuetese .

Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupation. The family name of Piper may come from either one of two sources, though that of Pipard is apparently traceable to only one. - Undoubtedly the name of Piper is. for the most part of occupational origin, that occupation being the obvi- ous one of the player of the bagpiper,.. This explanation has' been objected to by many on the ground that the bag- pipes is to be found, only in Scotland or Ireland, where -as Piper is a name most frequently met with in England. The fact is, however, that while the bagpipe to -clay cannot be classed as an English instrument, it was once quite generally in use, particularly in Northumbria, during that period of the Middle Ages in which family names were first developed. In some instances Piper is merely a changed speling of the name Pi - pard. This' name is of Norman- French origin, developed front a so- briquet of nickname signifying clever, or "foxy." There was a Ralph Pi - pard at the time of Henry III. of Eng- land who won great honors for his generalship in the Scottish and Welsh wars of that period. FLAHERTY Variations — O'Fiaherty,t O'Flahertie, Offlahertie. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. This family name is of particular interest to the student of nomencla- ture for two reasons. One is its ex- treme xtreme antiquity, even among Irish sur- names, which, as clan names, ante- dated the family names of England, and for the most part those of Soot - land. The other is the peculiar variation which has arisen in the anglicizing of the name by which the prefixed "0" has become the initial letter of the name itself. This development is most unusual in Irish names, and is found in just a few of them, with the varia- -tion by no means widespread. The clan or O'Flaherty dates, ap- parently, from some time prior to the third century A.D., and it arose to the • dignity of independent clanship after having come into existence as a sept of the O'Connors of Corcamrudh (or Corcomroe). The Irish spelling of the name is formidable. It is "O'Flaithbeartaighe," derived from the given name of "Fla- thartacli," which in turn was derived from the Irish words "flaith" and 'beartach," meaning "clever chief- tain.a MINMOSIIIIMMINOINIMO What Better -Drink dor Table 1.73 e : When well'boilea—twenty minutes or more — it has a rich. color .seal. a partic- ularly deli ght:P � l naval-.

It is understood that the distribu- tion of the 1914-15 star, the British war medal, and the Victory Medal will probably occupy about four years. Al- ready 3,000,000 medals have been elis- ributed tee individuals or sent to re- cord offices at home and to the over- seas dominions and colonies for dis- tribution. This distribution includes 1,400,000 1914-15 stars, more than 900,- 000 British war medals and 80,000 Vic- tory medals. _ The approximate number of British war ,medals required is 9,000,000, and of. Victory medals 5,500,000. After de- ducting the medals already clistaibuted about 12,500,000 remain for distribu- tion, and -it is estimated that these will be distributed at the rate of 3,- 000,000 a year.

After his departure the mother returned to the room ap.d told the youngster that the doctor had complained that the child had been very rude to him. "Why, mother,' replied the kiddie, "he's just au old fogy, that's all! He got mad just because I put out my tongue before he told me to." Had High Authority. The young man who had been call- ing so frequently on Helen at last came to see Helen's father. Finally, the suitor made this announcement; "It's a mere formality, I know, sir, this asking for your daughter's hand, but we thought it would be pleasing to you if it were observed." Helen't father stiffened. "And may I inquire," he said, "who suggested that asking my consent to Helen's marriage was a mere formality?" "Yes, sir," replied the young Man. "It was Helen's mother."
