Hero Is It group of family names which aro the equivaient of the name of I1111. They all trace hack, of course, to the Latin root "monis" Though the name appeared at an early period in England, it bad no vory wide development there, for In the amalgamation of the Norman-French and the Anglo-Saxon tongues into the mixture that has become modern Eng- lish, the word "mountain" was used very little In application to geographi- cal features of England. To -day even the English speak rather of their hills than of their mountains, The more ancient French form, that is "Montaigne," was introduced into England by tho Normans, The more modern form of "Montaine" appears quite widely in Franco, and more fro- quently than the older spelling, the result of two influences; one that the meaning of the mune was less quickly submerged in England, where the use of French rapidly died out, and the other, that family names were of some- what later formation in Franco than in England. Montanl, of course, is an Italian form of the name, whereas Mountz may be regarded as a Teutonic de- velopment of the Latin word in south- ern Germany and Austria, where the cultural influence of Latin was great- er, and where it was quite "the thing" at ono period to Latinize one's name. Originally these names were pre - coded by some such phrase as "do la" (according to the language in which they developed), with a meaning of "of . the," indicating that the 'bearer lived in or came from the vicinity of 801l10 hill or mountain. SPRING WEATHER EAW ON BABY 1• ' Tho Canadian Spring weather—one day mild and bright; the next raw and blustery, Is extremely hard on the baby, Conditions aro such that the mother cannot take the little one out for the fresh air so much to bo desired. He is confined to the house which is often over -heated and badly ventilated. Ho catches cold; his little stomach and bowels become disordered and the mother soon has a sick baby to look after. To prevent this an occasional close of Baby's Own Tablets should be given. They regulate the stomach and bowels, thus preventing or relieving colds, simple fevers, colic or any other of the many minor ills of childhood. The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 26c n box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockvillo, Out. Ancient Dispensary.

That 1s the way most peoplO feel In the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of these Indicate that the blood Is out of order --that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble, Do not dose yourself with purgatives, as many people do, in the hopo that you can put your blood right, Purga- tives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you that this is true. What you need in the spring 1s a tonic that will enrich the blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, do this speedily, safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine helps to enrich tho blood, which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, woman and children bright, active and strong. Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the system is run clown is shown by the case of Mrs. Lil- Tian Lewis, South Ohio, N.B., who says:—"About a year ago I was badly run down. My appetite was poor, I did not sleep well and my nerves were all unstrung. I could not go upstairs without stopping to rest. As I was a long way from a doctor I decided to take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and in the course of a few weeks -I felt -like a now parson. As an all around re- storative I can heartily recommend this medicine." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Plowing With Eighteen Yoke of Oxen, In the nineteenth chapter of Kings, says Prof, William Lyon Phelps in Scribner's Magazine, we are informed that Elijah "found Ellsha, the son of Shn.phat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth." . I had always supposed that this meant that Ellsha and the hired hands were out plowing with twelve yoke; I did not suppose the was driving twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, though the Bible seemed to say so. Tho Rev. F. Kurtz, missionary in India, writes me a letter that ought to interest all lovers of tho Bible, all dirt farmers and many others: "I am living in an Oriental land where oxen do all the plowing, I had frequently soon seven yoke of oxen plowing the some field, but a few days later I was traveling through the country on my tours, and as I came over a little rise of ground what dIXI I see but eighteen yoke of oxen plowing a field, one fol- lowing another just as in Elisha's time. Wo missionaries who are ac- customed to use the Bible in these Oriental lands are continually getting new lights on old truths, The West has got so farm away from, the Orient that many things in the Bible seem to be out of place until you can sea the Bible incidents in real life.

EOM() Inter- esting infarnia.tion, 1111(1 lino a bearing upon the use being made of Canada's pulpereel forests, says the Natural fie - sources intelligence Service of the De- partu,ent of the Interior. Last year Canada produced 1,362,094 toms of newsprint, of which 1,2115,384 tons was exported, principally' to the United States. Canada used only 132,- 61(I tons. The United States produced 1,471,- 000 taus of newsprint, and imported 1,192,699 tons from Cantina and 166,- 000 tons from European tountrks, Ex- ports amounted to about 17,500 tons, malting a total amount avallabl3 for coununlption of 2,800,000. I. Canada has, according to the latest uowo'paper directory, 114 daily papers, with a total average dally circulation of 1,646,000 copies. With a population of 8,755,853, as shown by the hast cen- sus, thia gives a daily newspaper for every 6.1 of the population. The United States has 2,300 daily prupere, with an estimated aggregate dally circulation of 33,000,000 (-opies. On the basis of the population figures for the 1920 tenses, 105,711,000, n daily newspaper is provided for every 3.2 1of tiie population. Per capita consumption of newsprint also shows a much higher ratio in.the IUnited States• as compared with Cana- da. In 1924, using ceusu3 figures 'Of !Population, the Canadian consumption of newsprint was 30.3 pounds, as com- pared with 63 pounds In the United States '1`111s greater per capita con- s suntption can be accounted for largely by the larger number of pages con - tamed in the United Staters, metropoli- tan dailies United States newspapers with circulation In excess of 100,000 average 28 pages in daily editions and 103 pages in Sunday editions. In Canada the average NO of the daily papers would not exceed sixteen pages although in the larger cities this is considerably exceeded, Thus it will be seen that we have fewer daily papers per capita, our papers are of smaller size, our con- sumption of newsprint is less, yet last year wo came within 118,000 tons of equaling United States production. In addition to the 1,192,699 tons of newsprint we supplied to take caro of their hugo consumption, Canada's for- ests provided 1,830,250 cords of pulp- wood, and 691,443 tons of mechanical and chemical pulpwood.

When one of Charles Lamb's friend taunted him with his bachelor condition, he retorted: -- If e'er I ask a maiden's hand - Sure as three scruples make a drachm - I tremble teat she'd sweetly say, "Yes, thanks, I'll take a little Lamb," • ML.P� -. 1-:1f: ?'i)'': ;1"s The Staudard Clubi) r" -i tri I;i)t n 11nvel nn1 a ''y:i,'r) l„ t1,1111{I•I1188 11('II'ill(,Nl'I'Ai Bi'it. 11 1 Science, ' ' + Punic, , , 1 I 1 bang List.

What the camel Is to the African desert, the huskie is to transportation over the snowy wastes of the Far North. 'rho elriciency of the dug team as a means of travel is shown by the fact that a trained team can make a distance of forty miles a day and maintain this speed for days to- gether. Used largely to assist com- mercial enterprise, the huskie also does his part in forwarding the in- terests of justice and order, The ltoyal Canadian Mounted Police has 128 trained dogs in, its service of which 98 are in use In the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and the Province of Manitoba. These dogs and sleds are employed for travelling between the scattered posts, for carrying the malls, hauling wood and various other supplies, and for patrol pur- poses, investigating a murder charge or reporting on some other case." Although the origin of the huskie is not definitely known, its good points are obvious. Ono point is the pad on its feet, which is tougher and stronger than that on the feet of the domestic dog, the latter wearing out quickly on the sharp surface of lee and snow, Where it is possible to procure abundant supplies of suitable food, the huskies are bred by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but many of the teams are purchased. A good serviceable dog can bo bought in Greenland for 35 and .,brought across the Canada, whereas the pur- chase price at Winnipeg is from $40 to $50 and sometimes as high as 3100 in the Mackenzie district. At the age of one year the huskie is ready for the harness, and he quickly becomes efficient, He is at his best between the ages of three and five, Teams are composed of from five to seven dogs, They are usually hitched in tandem when the snow is deep, but the team is often fan -shape where the going is level and hard. The harness of leather consists of collar, b(41y-bands, and traces. • While largely a matter of trails, loads :are figured out to the ounce especially for a long trip. Each dog i� calculated to pull a load of 125 pounds. The average dog docs not like to leave the beaten track, but an intelligent dog when he hears the order "gee" or "haw" knows it is all right and does it. The dogs are fed only once a day and in the evening, At the end of the day's journey the men cut the wood for a fire and unload and pro - pare the camp, and have their meal, while the dog -feed is being prepared, namely, either thawed or cooked. To prevent fighting over the meal, each dog is tied .up to a separate tree or the driver stands over them with a whip while they are eating.,The regulation meal is from 'three tfive Trained Terun Can Make a Distance of Forty Miles a Day.

A Dam of Living Yaks. The way in whieh Dr. Albert L. Shat, ton, a missionary, and it party of Tibet' fins crossed one of the swollen rivers near Drayu was surely picturesque and ingenious. In "Pioneering is Tibet" Dr, Shelton gives an interesting description of the crossing: The Tibetans had brought down from the mountains perhaps a hundred yaks, which they drove into the river. By throwing stones at the beasts the wren forced them into a line across the river with their heads upstream. The animals held their own as best they could against the force of the flood; when, as occasionally happened, a yak wax forced back by the current, the people on the bank would drive It forward to its place with stones, The yaks helped to break the force of the rushing stream, and we swam woos immediately at their tells while they held their position with their hind feet and their noses a ticking out of the sstiter, Although It was August, the frost had already come, and the water was exceedingly cold; we were I chilled to the bone before we got across, However, no one was drowned, ' nod after we had changed our clothes on the opposite bank we continued tee ward Draya.--Youth's Companion.

What is this Scottish game, rtIII oh was originally played with boulders torn from cragelde or mounts* stream, and now hu followers not only In Great Britain and Ireland, but. in Canada, the United States, Scaa- dilnavia, New Zealand, and Swlteer- land? It may be likened to bowie on the ice, but there are many material differences, The "wood" of "Drake's game" is replaced by a circular granite atone, and in place of the movable "Jack" of bowls, there ie a fined mark ou the ice known as the "tee." There are two tees set 38 yards apart. Around each tee is drawn it elrele with a radius of seven feet. Only stones that lie within the seven -foot circle count for points. In front' of each tee, and usually seven yards from it, is drawn a erose -line, known as the "hog score," A stone that fails to cross the hog score le removed from the ice. There are four players, one of whom acts an "skip," or captain, in each side, The object le to get your stones nearer to the tee than the enemy's. Each stone that "lies" connte one point, and a match consists of as many "heade" or elide as may be agreed upon. Such are the chief technical pointe of the "roarin' game," so called from the noise made by the stones as they hurtle along the ice, and from the excited shouts of the players as * cannily -placed shot alters the whole :. situation and robe the enemy of a winning advantage. Curling has its own language. "Come under grannie's wing!" shouts the skip, when he wishes the player to angle off one stone and come to rest behind another. "Red the feel" he orders with stern resolve, when he needs a smashing shot that will break up, the guards and expose the tee or winning stone. Curling is an intensely democratic game, The Earl of Balfour tells thin story of an , occasion when he wan travelling to play in a "boneplel"-»- i.e•, a match between rival clubs. There were two working -men curl- ers in the carriage, and one, who was reading a local paper, said to the other: "Eh, Geordie, I see yeu are drawn agln a lord to -day." Quietly Geordie answered: "Ab, wool, maybe I'll be the lord afore nicht," Last winter a Scottish . peer was playing under his butler as "Alp," The nobleman had to deliver a criti- cal shot, and, in great excitement, the "skip" watched the stone's advance, ejaculatipg at intervals: "Bravo, my lord! Bravo, my lord!" Then, in tones of deep disgust: "Oh, Lord, I declare ye wad miss a haystack!" No boneplel is complete without the subsequent dinner of "Curlers' Fare" ---that is, boiled beef and greens. Once curling was essentially a man's game, but there are now wo- men's clubs in Scotland and else- where. Squire Goes to Church. The English squire is a man of power in his locality, but few would dream of the liberties he takes u pictured by Arthur J. Ashton, K.C., the Recorder of Manchester, in his book of reminiscences, "As I went on My Way," from which the following is taken: "On one occasion, when very youag, I went for the week -end to the manor house of a squire and 1a4 - owner. On Sunday we went to church under charming circum- stances. The squire's pew proved to be a square enclosure lined with green cloth, with a table in the centro and seats round the side. When we stood up, only a full-grown person could bo seen over the top, In one corner was a fireplace, and over It a small cupboard. As it was ' winter, there was a the in the fire- place, and when.the rector gavo,out his text the squire rose, poked -the fire, opened the cupboard, took ,out a glass, and then a bottle of golden wine, poured out a glassful of the elixir, drank it, eat down again, and went to sleep.

Bristol used to be the seaport of the then seat of the woolen trade, the West of England, and "Bristol cotton," a striped cloth, with a long nap which could be reshorn where the garment got shabby, was woven at l3ridgewater and Taunton.

Signs Should be Provided to Inform Travellers of Local Advantages. Very soon now the tourist traffic for the 1925 season will commence, We should make things as interesting and attractive as possible for our visi- tors and also for the many travelling Canadians who aro going to explore our highways and byways, How often when motoring into a cozily situated town or hamlet, we look around the various buildings for some indication of the name of the place, It is probably a very interesting spot to the passerby and he might like to remember it particularly. No signs aro in evidence anywhere except those advertising motor car tires and patent medicines, and the interest aroused is apt to die for want of stimulation. There are many ways in which we might welcome our tourist friends and make them aware of our hospitality. Place -signs, prominently posted at the' approaches of the villages, with a few' concrete facts about the nature of the jlocality and its commercial and indus- t trial possibilities will add greatly to the interest and employment of the tourist and perhaps very materially to our country's development eventu- ally, The wayside market is useful to the tourist, here ho can purchase, direct from the farther, dairy produce, fresh fruits and vegetables on the cash and carry system.

This road passes through a famous trout. fishing ra•trict which is visited yearly by a large number of visitors from Chicago and the Eastern States. All towns along this route are being raked to assist in signing the main highway and the local organization is to do its share in view of the large amount of tourist triffic expected along the road during tho 1925 season. There are many scenic spots, splendid lakes and fishing stream just off our beaten trails that could be admired by many a visitor if directed thither by a well placed sign.

Of oouee, much caro can bo taken and every additional tough given will show delightfully. But a very stttisfactory garden can be had with almost no care at all, it a little judgment in solooting plants be used. Various plants are, of course, es- pecially hardy under certain condi- tions, and tho way to find those beat suited to any particular location is, obviously, to observe thoao whlclt flourish in your neighborhood, either in deserted gardens or where they re- ceive little attention. Generally speaking, a plant which flourishes under neglect farther north than your own neighborhood may bo depended upon to thrive under local conditions. Vire can roughly, however, assure ourselves of some plants which will thrive with a fair degree of safety in almost any climate. Phlox, that stand-by of the peren• nial garden, is practically indestruct- ible. A plant which has held its own through many vissitules is surely worth rescuing and cultivating, where- as the newer varieties, it you prefer buying them to salvaging the remains of desortod gardens, will for the most part be as hardy as the old. Phlox is not raised from seed, because of the tendency of the seedlings to revert to the ugly old-fashioned shade of pur- plish pink, and plants acoordingly should be purchased. It should bo divided every throe years, and this again affords new proof of its, indestructibility. Most plants can be divided only when the bloom is over for the year, Phlox Just Won't Give Up. But phlox may bo dug up, the roots cut in two with a spade in the most ruthless way and the plants reset either just before or during bloom, when the plant is at its weakest, with no loss of flowers or danger to the growth, If only plenty of water be sup- plied the divided plants until they be- come well rooted. Tho two varieties of lychnis are al- so very hardy, and a greet addition to tho garden in spring and early sum- mer. The earlier—viscarla—whit its long purplish pink racemes, is a wild flower in the Balkans. The later variety—chalcedonlca— or London pride, with its, scarlet Mos - soma suggestive In shape of tho ver- bena, is also perfectly hardy. The platycodon hails from Siberia, which alone should speak volumes for its hardiness. All dealers' do not keep it in stock, and to remedy this over- sight an effort should be made by every gardener to create a demand for this lovely flower. The reason for its comparative ob- scurity may be its extreme lateness in starting In the spring, which results frequently in its being given up for Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says:— Spring, frons time immemorial, has been known as housecleaning time. During recent years this period has developed a popular slogan "clean up and paint up." This is especially ap- plicable to the protection and painting of outside woodwork. Wood, when ex- posed to the weather without protec- tion, quickly deteriorates, it bears a shabby and neglected appearance, and, in a groat majority of crises, is but an index of the enterprise or carelessness of the owner. A statement was made a short thne ago by a prominent lumberman that unless Canada exercised more care with her forest resources, the day was not far distant when we would be without our supplies of lumber, While this statement referred particularly to the protection of forests, it might, with equal force, he applied to the protection of our buildings, fences, farm implements, and other equip- ment into the making of which wood largely enters. In the case of the forests there is the timber only that is lost, while in the decay through neglect or carelesaness of woodwork there is also the loss of the human energy that was required In the trans - EMI In every yard that many of its have learned to acquire a distaste for its theory, bobbing yellow heads, Equally effeotive and hardy is the holonium In yollow--or, lest' oftective, red --which blooms tato into the fall. There aro also many perfectly hardy roses of old type which do not corres-' pond to any of the hybrids of to -day, but which aro very lovely. Ono old ltotrso I know has a good. sized rose bed which has been entire- ly supplied from deserted gardens in the vicinity, The varieties which com- pose it are, though beautiful, nante- lees'so far as I know, Returning to perennials, we must not forgot the hollyhock, next to the phlox the moat valuable .zddition to' the garden. These sped themselves so lavishly that a bed once made le a bed forever. Tulips may well bo planted In the garden which Is to take cat's of itself,! They should be set seven Inchon deep, and aa the bloom each year is pro- duced by a new bulb which forms at the baso of the old one, they should be reset every third year, lost they worn down to sue)) a depth that they will ultimately disappear. As tulips -aro piunted at such a depth it is well to sot annuals or perennials among them. 'Thus after the tulips aro gone their yellowing foliage will bo concealed by later flowers. Covering should be removed very early in the spring, The frosts of win- ter do less harm to the garden than do the early thaws, which draw the young plants out of the ground to bo destroyed by later frosts, The plants once fairly started, weed- ing is the chief care. This may bo passed by during the busy seasons on the farm, and this negligence made up for by more diligent attention at con- venient times. Watering, too, 1s important. Watering should bo done heavily or, not at all. Unless you can water sufficiently to sink far into the earth --and a little excavation after a heavy rain 101 1; show you how hard this is to accomp-' llsh—it is best to let the plants shift for themselves and not to aCCUslont L11'0111 to frequent light watering.
