An Irishman, returning home after gathering dollars in Canada, decided to give to his old father an outing: The old fellow had never been in a train before, and he entered the com- partment with much fear and tremb- ling, and with many outspoken antici- pations of what would happen. Suddenly the train dived into a tun- nel, and as suddenly the "old chap's fist Slew out and dealt his son a hefty blow on the nose. "Be jebers," he roared, " 01 tould yez something would happen.

"Making across Massachusetts Bay with, a fresh gale of wind," writes his, chronicler,"in the morning we found ourselves embayed with a mighty headland, with a white, sandy and very bolder shore," After landing they returned to their ship and sailed on to Cuttyhunk, "amongst` many fair islands." "But the signie cant point for us," says Miss Mary Rogers Bangs in Old Cape Cod, "is that the Indians pestered their shill so frequently with codfish that they threw numbers of them overboard and thereupon named the land Cape Cod. Henry Hudson, too, spent, a night off the Cape and had difficulty with shoals and tides and mists; but he testified that the land` was "very sweet" In 1614 Capt.

Buy Canadian products, Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia Su is es and Their ` Origin DWYER. Variations—O'Dwyer, Diver. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—Given names. - There are two separate and distinct clan names of old Ireland which have been Anglicized. into Dwyer and Diver, and if you bear either of these family names the only way in which you can. find from which clan your name comes is to trace back the genealogy stop by step. One clan was that of the "O'Dubh- ire. " An approximation of the Gaelic pronunciation would be "doo-whser." The other was "O'Duibhir," with an approximate pronunciation of "dwee- beer.„ It is- os$ ible to give eon. ap- proximate proximate pronunciations by means • of the printed letters to any one who is not a speaker of Gaelic, for the differ- ences pro- - English h p rices between and I e nuncietion are at once both marked and subtle, and even in the Gaelic there is considerable difference in various localities, not to mention the number of centuries which have also produced their changes in Irish as Well as English, The Clan O'Dubhire derived its name from the chieftain "Dubhir” and originated about the year 600 as an offshoot of the O'Connors. To -day de- scendants of this clan are known as the O'Dwyers "of Leinster and Mun- ster" to distinguish 'them from the others. The other clan took its name from -a chieftain named "Dubhodhar" and came into being as a clan about half a century after the first. Both of these chiefs came from the sante stock, their families having split, according to the records, some eight generations be- fore, and tracing back ultimately to "Conaii;e Moe" (Connor the Great), who was monarch of all Ireland . in 109 B.C. NOYES in cases of this kind is. shown by the statement of Mrs. Watson, Grand Falls,. N.B., who says:` "In the spring of 1919 my daughter Thistle, then 12 years of age, began to show symptoms of nervousness which developed 'into, St. Vitusedance.• She seemed to lose dientrol of her limbs and at times every muscle In her body . seemed to he twitching and jerking, and the trouble seemed to be growing worse..

You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer" in medicine or by .mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes' for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • Racial Origin—English. Source—A given name. One might be tempted to ascribe a Spanish origin to this family name. It seems to lack that English sound. It is, however, just as English as Johnson or Rogers. As a matter of ,fact it is derived from the given name of Noah,and means "Noah's son." Noah is still met with occasionally as a given name, though it isnot near- ly so common as it was a generation ago. In the middle ages, though, it ranked among the most popular of. names for givenstoryat Noah in the Old Testament was one of suf- ficient dramatic appeal to grip the imaginations of the simple medieval folk, who were quite, free from the class of doubt engendered by the mo- dern "higher 'criticism." But the medieval form of the given name was not Noah., -but ',Noe," the "0" and the "e" being pronounced as. separate syllables, giving, in short, virually the same sound- as ,the name ha to -day. Another medieval -form, if anything more widespread than the other, was. "Noy," also pronounced as two syllables, and often having a final "0" as Well. Thus came about the forms "Noy- son and "Noye-son," which in the course of time have been simplified by the elimination of, all but the "s" in the ending "son."

The c(mzncil of Clarke township, Dur- ham county, Ontario, has decided to purchase ten acres of non-agricultural land far tree -planting under the On- tario Government's forest demonstra- tion .plat scheme. A man went home the other even- ing and found his house locked up. ,After a great deal of trouble he got in at the window and found on the, table a note from his wife: "I have gone to the show," it read.

French Farmers Emigrate to New World. With thousands of acres of the finest Brittany farm land offering splendid opportunities for development, north- western ,France for the first time in history Is sending hundreds of emi- grants to the United States and to Canada, due to the publicity which has been given to the wheat lands of the western prairies, says' a Paris des- patch. In one commune ninety pass- ports were granted in less than a month, these being about equally di- vided between prospective Canadian and American farmers. The attention of the French Govern- menthas been called to the situation, which is considered decidedly alarm- ing, with the result that a special agent has been sent into Brittany to negotiate with farm laborers. Plans are under way to establish a farmer's loan plan in the rural areas which will enable young farmers to buy their awn farms and to develop them while paying oft` the original coat. Some of the biggest farntel% in Franoe have agreed to aid with funds, as they realize that if the emigration westward continues their own farms will suffer from lack of manpower. Even on •a rental basis, it is being pointed out, a 11'1%11011 farm of 160 acres can be 'orked fax five years at less cost than it taken to purchase steainsbip and railroad tickets to the western wheat fields.

Passing oyer the song writers of to- day, here is a list of some of the wo- men who won fame and success in. the last century. Under the name of "Claribel," Mrs, Charles Barnard, of Dover, England, wrote many songs, the most fainous of which is." Come Back to Erin." Annie Fortesque Harrison was : the composer of "In The Gloaming," Mrs. Charles Moulton wrote "Beware," Dora Bland Jordan wrote "The Blue Bells of Scotland," Liza Lehmann was the composer of the lovely song - cycle "In a Persian Garden." Lastly, those hauntingly beautiful songs, "When Sparrows Build" and "Ruby," which had a tremendous vogue in the last generation, were but two of the outpourings of Virginia Gabriel, who can hardly be blamed for suppressing her first two Christian names—Mary Ann.. Fish in Tank Scows. In: Norway and. Holland huge tank scows, which are in effect floating aquaria, have long been used to fetch fishes• from the fishing grounds to mar- ket. ` Thus they reach the latter alive and in fine condition. • The idea has been newly adapted for use on this side of the ocean, and severalsueh scows have been built for traffic between Canadian' waters and the northern seacoast of the United States. They are built of wood, their hulls, which are long and narrow, having a number of compartments to hold the fish. The comparments are perforated with holes in order that the sea water may flow freely through them. Water- tight bulkheads at bow and stern keep the craft afloat. Some of the fishes inevitably die or sicken fn the course of so long a -voy- age, and these are scooped out with long -handled nets and thrown away. The scows are sailing craft, but it is planned to equip them with gasoline engines. for faster travel. One of them, twenty-four days out from Quebec, reached New York the other day with a cargo of 1000 'tons of eels, caught in chicken -wire traps in the St. Lawrence River, which were delivered alive and. wriggling at one of the city fish mar- kets.
