Surnames and Their Origin
GARNET
alfarlatlon—Garnett,
ifiaclal Origin --Welsh.
Source—A local name.
•
Here is a family name 'which,. in-
stinctively, you probably associate
with the name of a semi-precious
stone.
But the association of ideas here is
misleading. That the family name
could have come from the name of the
atone is a pos•sibility,. A11 of the avail-
able records go to show, however, that
tt seldom, if ever, actually was a de-
velopment of it.
For if you trace the 'name back a
bit you come across the spelling "Gar-
nedd" instead of Garnet. .It 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 assns
found in almost any spot in England,
or particularly of Wales, in whioh such
ruins remained. It was exactly the
sort of place na'm•e likely to become
the surname of anybody living near it,
HUNGERFORD
Racial OrIgirel English,
.Source -A Opeatity.
Here is a fancily name which' traces
back to a given name through a local'
name, In Queer words, there was first
a given nettle, from which w ae'Cormed
a local name. Then, at a later period
when the given name had bebome Ob-
solete, the local name was developed
into a family name, ;being first a sur-
name-indicating
urname-indicating place of residence,
The place name is. the same ae the
modern fancily name, being on'e of
those old Englishplace names "so
simple o f pronunciation that it has net
changed through the course of cen-
turies. The place is a market town in
Bei l; shire, up the River Kennet.
,From ebe ending 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 Danieli hosts in-
vaded. Britain.. One of the mast fa
mous
of the Danish chieftains was
named Hunger. But few who bear this
name realize that, indirectly, they are
named after a famous. Danish: leader
who lived more than a thousand years
ago.
WHY MANY WOMEN
SUFFER IN SILENCE
1)o Not Realize That Their Trou-
ble is Due to Impure Blood.
A woman needs a blood building
Medicine regularly 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
can 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
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was while at-
tending the Collegiate Institute at
about the age of seventeen. I became
very much run down, and could not go
up stairs without resting half , way.
Finally I had to quit school and not-
withstanding all that was done for me
there were no signs ;of improvement
until after I had begun using Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, under the use of this
medicine I became well and strong.
My nexttexperience with this medcine
was some years after I was married.
After my baby boy was born I did not
gain up as I should, so I at mice start-
ed taking Dr. Williams' .taut. 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 mai] at 50 cents
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine,
Co., Brockville, Ont.

Japanese Turn to Chairs.
The old -age custom of the Japanese
of sitting down on their folded legs
on a cushion or mattress is going out
of fashion. All the s•choois and public

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 or 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 may 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 'ort 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.have a big success..
Reject Now Famous Novels.
Many novels now famou,s have been
turned -clown and rejected again and
again by various publishers' readers,
and fjteh after a period of years, often
when the author has abandoned hope,
an enterprising publisher, greatly dar-1
ing, accepts the oft -rejected mann-'
s•eript, and finds, much to his surprise
perhaps, that he has discovered a
popular 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 segue farsighted book -
taster has persuac ed 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 difficult to
decide which novel will successfully
appeal to the reading public and which
will fail. The reader, poor soul, wades
through the poor, Abad, and indifferent
manusceipts, and he considers himself
lucky if be 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.
Jumping to Conclusions,
If you travel on a liner it is wise not
to jump to the conclusion that every-
one who wears a yachting cap is a
steward. A passenger on the Baltic
asked a passer-by to get him a obair,
and rewarded the man witn a shilling
for doing so. Half an hour Inter he
heard that he had tipped Sir T' •mao
Lipton! Sir Thomas has been telling
the story himself, which is a sign of
greatness on his 'part. Tennyson and
the late Duke of Norfolk were also
tipped in their time--andbragged
about it.

MARCH WEATHER

Our Canadian 'March weather—one

children,' Conditions make it neces-
sary for the mothers to keep the little
ones indoors. They are erten con-
fined to overheated, „badly ventilated
rooms and catch colds which rack
their whole system. To .guard against
these colds and to keep the baby well
till. the better, . brighter days come
along, a box of Baby's Own Tablets
should be kept in the house and an oc-
casional dose given the baby to keep
his stomach and bowels working re-

thorough laxative which never fail to
regulate the stomach and bowels and
'thus they relieve. colds and simple

Vegetation and Floods.
Attention has been invited to what
is regarded as an important illustra-
tion of the sure results of deforesta-
tion in the A.ppalaclhians. Near a town
in Tennessee the roasting and smelt-
ing of copper ores bave 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 Abe steep slopes has buried the
former surface along the stream]ets,
so that neither slope nor narrow flood
plain is of any value for agriculture
or grazing, Floods, on these streams
rise higher and more rapidly than in
former times; while in dry seasons
springs once perennial 'go dry and
others almost cease flowing.
