Extraordinary! The reason is not easy of explana- tion.. But apparently nature provides its with more brain material than we need to think with, and we can spare ciuit.e a hit of it without serious conse- quences, unless some .essential etruc- tura be entirely destroyed, One thing the brain will not endure is compression. In, childhood • the skull may be squeezed all out of shape without harmful results. The Flat- head Indians do that, and so do abor- iginal peoples in . other parte of the world,- But even a clot of blood, due to cerebral hemorrhage, is ,liable to cause paralysis, and local pressure of a bone may render a person insane. WOULD NQ' • BABY'S Mrs. W. Beesley, Mille Roche, Ont., writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past eight months and weuld not be without them.. I used them for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other mothers." What Mrs. Beesley says thousands of other mothers say. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxa- tive which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out constipation and indigestion and mak- ,Ing ak•.ing teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Bird Invented First Incubator. The first -and original 'incubator• seems to have been the clever inien-' tion of an Australian bird of large size called the "brush turkey." It saves the fowl a 'great deal of time and trouble. The henturkey lays her "clutch" of eggs in a neat circle, and then she and her mate scratch together a big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover. them. • Decomposition of •this vegetable material produces heat, whereby the eggs are kept at proper !temperature for incubation. j From time to time the male bird. gives the heap a scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature de- veloped is neither too' high nor too low. He does not permit, they newly hatched young ones to emerge, however, until they are fully fledged and able tit take care of themselves. Then he helps their} to get out. Credit won by lying is quick in dying. Surnames and ° °air Origin SPENCER Variation—Spenser. Racial Origin—English. •Source -A title of office. One of the most peculiar points about the social and military system of the . Normans was the manner in which occupations which to -day we look upon as of an humble, household nature, were exalted into titled offices. The answer, of course, is that in those days each feudal castle, the social unit of all who were not tillers of the soil, was, though a single "household," a small nation in itself, largely independent and owing vas- salage to counts and kings only as a unit. Thus the keeper of the "family" purse was iii reality the "secretary of the treasury," and the head of the household kitchen was the commis- sary-general. The "despenser" or despencer," un- der nder the feudal custom of the Normans, was the officer responsible for the "buttery" or food warehouse of the castle,` an office of great responsibility in days when sieges were, laid,often not to be lifted for months or even years. This title, however, when coupled with the word "le (the), as of course it was, soon became too clumsy even for the Norman tongue, with the re- sult that it did not take many genera- tions before the more common form of the word was "spencer" or "spen- cer." There were many, many castles in medieval England. Hence there are many Spencer families to -day. BEVERLEY Racial Origin—Angio-Saxon or Nor- man-French. Source—A locality. This family name quite clearly be- longs in the classification of those which have been derived from the names of places, forit is traceable through, the early documents with the prefixed "de," meaning of. ' • It is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all lands have given more family names than the big centres of population, The reason for this is, in the first place, that the people flocked from the small com- munities, where there was not so great a need for additional names; to the big centres, where there was not only such need, but where the men- tion of a small place' served the pur- pose of differentiation quite accurate- ly. In the second place, the big com- munities gave rise to comparatively few family names because it consti- tuted little differentiation to speak of "Roger de London," when there were thousands to be found all over the country. Authorities differ as to the origin of the place name of Beverly, which is in Yorkshire. Some derive It from "beivair" (beautiful view) and "lev," a meadow or field. It Is more prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Savons as "Veveriac' or beaver -lake, Alway6 G - t fall food volae For your money when you eat tach golden granule of this attractive sheat and Malted barley,Food is rich in.nutrimeritfor io&y,and.brain.

There is a proverb, in a laud where It is always summer, that says: "It is easier to sit than to stand ---and easier to lie down than to sit." The prevalence of that philosophy means that the people of that land are imperfectly civilized. They are in .a state of arrested development.," They are soratceing flea -bites or sleep- ing In the shade or imbibing strong waters when they ought to be plant- ing, digging, wells, making roads and building houses.. A Swiss who visited these people said; "What they gleed is a winter." Thoreau observed: "A man sits as. manyrisks as he runs." Whole nations, like individual Men, may close their eyes and let a great chance go by, Sometimes it goes by with a loud noise;' sometimes it pass- es in silence. But it does not stay. In any successful business theman who is valued, the man who is put, in a .place of command, is the man who sees and seizes chances. He reaches cut and grabs them, Or. he is like a hunter waiting in a thick- et, ready to shoot. Ifhe isn't ready—and if he doesn't shoot -somebody else will bag the game. In this world you are or you aren't —you do or you don't. That is all there is to it. Never, mind the rea- sons why you weren't or didn't. We are living here, not hereafter. We are concerned 'with now, not then, Concentration on the business in. hand, to the exclusion of other things past, present and to come, is the main- spring of many a fruitful endeavor. An, incessant wachfelness ready to• grasp and use every chance for all there is in it is the wise man's winning policy,.

The reporter from the local paper called at . the home of the bride's parents the day after the wedding. The bride's mother met him at the door. "Good morning, Mrs. Brown," said the journalist. "I have called to get some details of the wedding." "Oh, pshawi that's too bad!" replied the matron in dismay. "They're all gone. You ought to have come last night.
