Surnames and Their Origin
SPOONER
Racial. Origin—English.
Source—An occupation.
Family navies, particularly those.
which are derived from occupations,•
conceal within themselves many inter-
esting side lights on the habits and
customs, of an age now dim in history.
It'e one 'of those obvious family
names. It comes from the word
"sjjoon" (reference being to the uten-
elle,not the action). If family navies
were being formed to -day there would
be none of this one, for enough there
are millions' more spoons in use to -day
than there. were in the Middle Ages,
where , teelay will you find a spoon
maker? Lots,. of manufacturers make
spoons, but we don't -call them spoon -
makers, because they snake knives and

but they sell so many 'other things as
well that we call then hardware deal-
ers or jewelers.
But in the Micl•dle Ages it was dif-
ferent. The very existence; of the
name Spooner proves it. The "spoon-
er" iitade spoons and the "cutler"
,made knives, and neither interfered
withethe "other's• trade nor thoifght of
combining the two. And why are there
no "Forkers" to -day? , Because in the
Middle Ages, in England at least, the
fork was unknown as a table "tool."
SUTTON
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
There are not many persons w1io can
guess offhand the original meaning of
the family name of Sutton,unless,
perhaps, they see it in the company of
i such names as Easton and Weston.
Yes, that is it, "Souletown" would
be the full and modern spelling of the
name. which, from being the name of
a place, has also become the name of
many persons whose ancestors• !hailed
from that place.
There is an erroneous idea, still quite
widespread, that names originally bear-
ing a
earing.a prefixed."de"+were by virtue of
this "de" indicated as of "noble orig-
in.m the
from Nothing cold be further u
truth, even •tihough;it is true that most
of the ancient noble families bore sur-
names •so prefixed.:•
o •
The"de" meant to the people of Nor-
man
l-
man England exactly what it means to
the people of France to -day.. It meant
"of," and nothing more. "William de
Sutton" means ``William of Sutton."
Such surnames were borne by the
over -lords of, domains,. But they were.
also borne by anybi`idy, even serfs in
many .instances,who had come fron'i
the places mentioned.
Sutton is a town in Devonshire.

Pat Scored.
An American was boasting to an
Irislinian about the speed of American
trains.
"Why, Pat," eaid the American, "we
run our trains so fast that the tele-
graph poles look like. a continuous
fence."
"Do they, now?" said Pat. "Well, sir,
I was wan day on a train. in Ireland,
and as we passed first a field of tur-
nips, then wan of carrots, then wan of
cabbage, and then a large pond of
water, we were gain' that fast I
thought it was broth!"

To say of a man of unusual strength
and vigor that he seems "made of
iron" is ono of those popular phrases
which science hasproved to have an
almost literal basis of truth. Although
the toughest and most enduring in-
dividuals have only a few grains of
iron in their entire body, tease few
grains are indispensableto life, and
a material reduction in the quantity
means immediate loss of strength and
the onset of illness.
But people cannot eat iron, and the
problem therefore Is to get the iron in• those who rejoice in regained health.
