Here is a family name which, in- stinctively, you probably associate with the name of z, semi-precious atone, But the association of ideas here is misleading. That the family manse could have come from the name of, the atone is a possibility, All of the avail- able records go to show, however, that It seldom, if. ever, actually was a de- velopment of it. For if you trace the name batik a bit you come across the spelling "Gar- nedd" instead of Garnet. If you trace it still further back you are likely to run across the spelling "Garnedd," which (if you know that it is Welsh) more readily associates.itself with the ancient Celtic word "cairn," indicating a:pile of stones., or more specifically a structure of stone which was a Druid temple. This would naturally be a local name foundEngland, in almost any spot in or particularly of Wales, in which such ruins remained. It was exactly the sort of place name likely to become the surname of anybody living near it. HUNGERFQRD Racial Origin -English. Source—A locality. Here is a family name which traces back to a given name through a local name. In other words, there was first a given name, from which was formed a local naive. Then, at a later period when the given name had -become ob• solete, the local name was developed Into a family name, being first a sur- name indicating place of residence. The place name is the same as the modern family name, being one of those old English place names so simple of pronunciation that it has not changed through the course of cen- turies. The place is a market town In Berkshire, up the River Kennet. From the eliding in "ford" you might have guessed that it was a community on the bank of some river or stream. Hungerford was originally "Hun- ger's Ford," and to get at the reason for the place being so named you have to •delve back to that period in Eng- lish history when the Danish hosts in- vaded Britain. One of the most fa- mous of the Danish chieftains was named Hunger. But few who bear this name realize that, indirectly, they are named after a famous Danishi leader who lived more than a 'thousand years ago. WHY MANY WOMEN SUFFER IN SILENCE Do Not Realize That Their Trou- ble is Due to Impure Blood. A woman needs a blood building medicine regtlarly just because she is a, woman. From maturity to middle life the health of every woman de- pends upon her blood. If her blood is poor she is weak, languid, pale and nervous. If the blood supply is irregu- lar she suffers from headaches and backaches, and some women have grown to expect this suffering and to bear it In silence. They do not realize that if the blood supply is kept rich and -pure, their troubles will disappear, but such is the case. In every woman's life a tonic blood -enriching medicine is needed and for this purpose nothing ca.n help them so much as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which act directly on the blood, furnishing the elements necessary to make it rich and pure. Mrs. S. J. Watts, Kingston, Ont., gives. her experience with this medicine as. follows:—"My first experience with er, Williams'.Pink Pills was while at- nding the Collegiate Institute at ut the age of aventeen. I became dcould-not°go half ;,way, nd not- e forme mprovement using Dr. Wil - Pink Pills, under the use of this dicine I became well and strong. y next experience with this medicine as some years after I was married. After my baby boy was born I did not gain up as I should, so I at once start- ed ' taking Dr. Williams' tank Pills again. I took them all the time I was nursing baby, and you should have seen what a lovely, fat, healthy boy he was, and I was strong once more. Whenever I feel a bit run down Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are my tonic and I strongly recommend them to grow- ing girls and all women." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by snail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Poor Divorcee Marries a Millionaire.

Write foiVresEyols(wk, Who E»Road:Co.,cbte to Book -Tasting. Every publishing firm employs a staff of "readers," whose duty it is. to deal with the constant stream of manu- scripts that flow into a publisher's of- fice. Just as a tea expert tastes tea, so does a publisher's "reader" taste books. Upon the judgment of the "readers" depends the success di failure of a publishing house. The reader is ever on the alert for the manuscript which may prove to be a "best seller." A novel niay be clever and possess originality of plot and of style, and yet prove a dismal failure. On the other hand•, a novel, lacking in originality and written in slovenly style, may catch the wayward fancy of the read- ing public, and in. a flash the author may become famous throughout the English-speaking world, and both the author and the publisher will find their banking accounts swelling. Although the publisher's reader tries to feel the pulse of the reading public, and sense what sort of a novel will prove a success and which will prove failures; the reader's judgment may play him false, and a novel rejected by fifteen publishers may be accepted by the sixteenth and hove a big success. Reject Now Famous Novels. Many novels now famoishave been .turned down and rejected again and again by various publishers' readers, and. then -after a period of years, often when the author has abandoned hope, an enterprising publisher, greatly dar- ing, accepts' the oft -rejected nnanu- script, ^and finds, much to his surprise perhaps, that he has discovered a popilar success. One can mention Charles Dickens, George Meredith, George Eliot, Frank Danby, H. G. Wells; Joseph Conrad and a host of novelists whose most popular books have 'been rejected by publishers' readers with monotonous regularity, until some farsighted book - taster has persuacecl a publisher to print a book, which has leapt into the front rank of popular successes. The lot of the publisher's readers is not a happy one, and it is diffoult to decide which, novel will successfully appeal to the reading public and which will fail. The reader, poor soul, wades through the poor, bad, and indifferent manuscripts, and he considers himself lucky if he discovers a "best seller" once in twelve months, So, when you send your manuscript to the publishers, don't think too bad of; the "reader" if it is turned. down.

Attention has been invited to what is• regarded as an important illustra-: tion of the sure results of deforesta- tion in the Appalachians. Near a town in Tennessee the roasting and smelt- ing of copper ores have entirely des- troyed the vegetation over a consider- able area and left the ground perfectly bare. Consequent surface erosion is rapidly removing the soil, the slopes are scarred with gullies, the waste from the steep slopes has buried the former surface along the streamlets, so that neither slope nor narrow fined plain is of any value for agriculture orzi streams gra ng. Floods on these rise higher and more rapidly than in former times, while in dry seasons. springs once perennial go -dry and others almost cease flowing. In the Wrong Room.
