Surnames and Their Origin
HAW LEY.
•Variations—Hawes, HAria
'Racist Origin—English.
Source—A locality. •:a.
Here is• another of those English
family names- of the kind which sprang
up in a great many sections of that
country through The entire period of
.ftimily name formation. These names
were based upon local place names,
mostly of the descriptive kind,:iu many
'instances known only to those who
lived in the'conlmunitiea in which the
names sprang up, names like Hill,
Dale, Ford, Woods, Cliff, Grove and
the like.
Laterally the name Hawley would
mean a hedged piece of meadowland,
for it .is a compound of the ancient
Anglo-Saxon words' "haeg" and "ley,"
the former being the word from which
has come our rabflern word. "hedge" as
well as such names! as Haig, Hedges,
Ilay and the like.
The forms Haw and Hawes, of
course, are either shortened' forms of
Hawley or'"else• names. deniv ci simply
from the old word "baeg."
GROSSBECK.
Va riatip n---Broesbeck.
Racial Origin -Dutch;.
Source—A locality. •
Groesbeck is .really. the more cow=
rect spelling of this nanile, if it can be
said that there is any better standard
of spelling family' names than the
habit of the bearer himself.
Groesbeck the Dutch way of spell-
ing it. The other from, Grossbeck, is
a changed spelling which has comp
about through the influence of the
English language in instances: where
the name bias been used tor long peri-
ods either,in America or England.
If you were to translate this name
literally into English it would be simp-
ly "Bigstream." The word "groes" is
nothing but the Dutch equivalent for
the English word, "gross" (or. "great").
which) is also to be found in both
French and German, and "beck," mean-
ing stream.
BABY'S HEALTH
IN THE SPRING
The Spring is a time of anxiety to
]mothers who have little ones in the
home. Conditions make it necessary
to keep the baby indoors. He is often
confined to overheated, badly venti-
lated rooms and' catches colds which
rack his whole system. To guard
against this a box of Baby's Own Tab-
lets should be kept in the house and
an occasional dose given the baby to
keep his .stomach and boiSels working
regularly. This will prevent colds,
constipation or colic and keepbaby
well. The Tablets are 'sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a
box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., B;;ockville, Ont.
Farthest -North Radio
Weather Station.
Jan Mayen Land, a tiny volcanic is-
land north of Icelana, is in the track of
arctic storms sweeping toward the
;feast of Norway, 600 miles distant. In
Sider to obtain timely warning of the
i(sorms which peril its interests, the
Norwegian government less than two"
years ago established on the island a
i%d'io station, the farthest -north sta-
tion in the , world. It is in charge of
;Akbard Ekeroid, an American citizen.
The operator and his assistants are
the first permanent inhabitants of the
island.

The Gardener.
So lovingly he holds within
His. hand the tiny seeds and sees
A vision of bright fairy things.,
That soon will flutter in the sun,
Like butterflies on flaming wings.
So lovingly he lays• them down
In beds. made soft and warm to Bleep,
And carefully above their heads,
For fear of bitter wind and storm,
A magic+. covedtbet he spread's.
So lovingly he waits until
Awakened by a thousand sounds,
With tender outstretched arms they
rine,
And struggle to their feet, to find
An eager weloome in his eyes.
So lovingly he watches when
With quick response they do his will,
And in his garden, kneeling there,
With busy hands, care sifts away,
And peace comes like an answered
prayer.

the notes together. correctly. " The first note shown above is F.
Whether you are singing from notes,
playing the piano or banjo or any other
musical instrument, that note in -the
first space is always F. •The four notes
indicated are ', A, C, E. easy to remem-
her, because they spell the word "Pace."
Certain strings on the mandolin, certain
keys on the piano represent these same
notes—and once you learn them,' play-

clear the skin because they go to the

spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges-

poor, weah blood, and it is at this time
when all nature takes on new life that
the blood most seriously needs atten-

with purgatives at this season, but
these only further weaken themselves.
A purgative merely gallops through
the system, emptying the bowels, but
does not help the blood. On the other

Who Wrote the Words?
At a recent concert in Winnipeg, a
gentleman said to his guest from the
East, "I just notice that on this pro-
gramme the names of the composers
of the song lyries are omitted. I won-
der who is responsible for such an
'oversight?" It may be said at once
that such omissions are not confined
by any means to Winnipeg. Every-
where you go you will find programmes
giving the names of the composers• of
the music, but the persons res•ponaible
for the texts are nameless. Some-
times the programme even gives In
full the two or three stanzas of each
of the texts without mentioning the
writers' names,
Is it to save a few cents in composi-
tion at the printers? Is it just thought-
lessness? Or is it because the one re-
sponsible for the programme consider-
ed the words f no importance?
e?
One of the foremost vocalists on this
continent said the other day, "before
I study a new song to, add to my, re-
pertoire, I read over the words care-
fully and if they are nit worth while,
I wouldn't put any time on the song
no matter how exceptionally line the
mucic was." Another singer, a famous
tenor, said recently: "When I get a
new song, I first familiarize myself
with the text If the words prove silly
or sentimental, I throw the song aside.
For no matter how good the music,
a song is not worth singing unless tho
words are worth hearing. Words and
music should constitute a harmonious
union. For that matter I believe that
the accompaniment to a song is just
as much a part of it as the portion
written for the voice," • ,
T1ie most successful composers lay
great stress' on the lyrics, There is
absolutely no excuse for using the
words of a song on the programme
without giving proper credit to the
writer of those words, and it would be
goad taste when listing songs to say
words by so-and-so, and music by so -
and so. No musde publisher would is-
sue a song without the title, page cover-
ing the name of the lyric writer in
prominent type along with that of the
composer of the music.

No Place Like Home.
When a native of .Prince Edward Is-

he engaged a roam at a modest hotel
in Boston, intending to remain there
while he hunted for work.
"Will you register?" asked the clerk
handing him aV,en.
"Re•gister?" said the traveler. "What
is that?"
"Write your name."
"What for?"
"We are required to keep a record

The man wrote his name and was

clerk added':
"Now the. plaoe, if you please."
"What place?"
"The place you came from. Where

"I live on the island."
"Well, but what island?"
The other Booked at him in amaze-

that left no doubt of his feelings,
"Prince Edward Island, man. What
other island is there?"
An Original Explanation.
They were having a botany lesson,

teacher if they knew what mads the

"Please, miss," replied Johnny,
"they blush to think how green they
have been all the summer."

Tanlac Ended Stomach'
Trouble.
"I never saw such a change as Tan -
lac has made in my wife,and she says
she is .feeling like a girl of sixteen
now," declared Harold William, a
well-known shoemaker, of 28 Cornwall
St., Toronto, Ont., recently.
"For years, she was so weak and run-
down I often thought she would fall in
her tracks. Nearly everything she ate
disagreed with her and at times she
was simply in agony. Her nerves
were so unstrung the least little !thing
would worry and upset her for hours
and she could scarcely get any sleep.
"Well, after spending hundreds of
dollars on different medicines, I didn't
have much hope that Tanlac would
help her, but, it's a fact, when she
finished the treatment, every ailment
was gone. That was several months
ago and since then her health has been
splendid. Hereafter we will always
pin our faith to Tanlac."

to be the largest office building in
Asia. It is an eight -story structure
built on a ground area 850 by 300 feet,

87,000 tons is supported on piling that
extends nearby 100 feet below the
ground line. It •contains approximate-

that will be devoted almost entirely to
office purposes, and is of fireproof eon-

Brantford, Ontario.—"I was always
tired and the least exertion would put
me out for a day or two. I had a
pressing pain on the top of my bead,
pain in the nape of my neck, and when
I stooped over I could not get up with-
out help, because of pain an my back.
I did not sleep well and was nervous
at the least noise. I keep house, but I
was such awreck that I could not sweep
the floor nor wash the dishes without ly-
ing down afterwards. A friend living
near me told me what Lydia E. Pink-
ham'sVegetable Compound had done for
her so I began to take it. With the first
bottle I felt brighter and got so I could
wash dishes and sweep without having
to lie down. Later I became regular
again in my monthly terms. I have
taken ten bottles all told and am now
all better. I can truly say that your
