The Exeter Advocate, 1923-5-24, Page 3Surnames and Their Origin COL61ULT Variations—Colquite, Co'quoit. Racial Origin --Cornish. Source—A local name. Here is a family name of Cornish origin. That is to say, it is a faintly name which developed as such in Corn- wall though it might just as well have been borne in the first instance by those of Anglo-Saxon or Norman blood as by those of Cornish -British blood. Far by the period in which family names were formed in that section of England, Cornwall was by no means exclusively inhabited by descendants of the original Celtic inhabitants. It is simply one of those family names which became such in the first place as a reference to a place of habi- tation. The local • geographical name is a combination of the Cornish -British words for the neck of a hill, or pro- montory and for woods. The mean- ing, was "the woods on the promon- tory" The first of these two words was "col" and the other "colt." It was natural in the period when most men bore but one name, to dis- tinguish one from another of the same name by reference to the locality in which he lived, and so such family names as these were built up in the course of time. DUNDAS Racial Origin—Scottish. Source—A locality. Most of the family names of Scot- land, particularly those of the High- lands, are but mare or less modernized clan names or derivatives originally from given names. In many instances, however, for rea- sons of convenience ar necessity, fami- lies of Highland origin have dropped their clan names and substituted names which originally were descrip- tive of the individual or family by re- ference to the former place of rest- dente of that individual or family. Dundas is one of these Scottish place names which has become a family name. SATISFIED MOMS No eether medicine .gives the same satisfaction t'b-'mothers as db Baby's Own Tablets. They are equally good 'for the r,ev:born.„babe or the growing child and are absol..tely guaranteed to be free from opiates or other harmful drugs.. They are a mild but thorough laxative and cannot possibly do harm —they always do good. Concerning them Mrs. Joe. Ache, Coteau Road, N.B., writes: --"I think that Baby's Own Tablets are a marvellous medi- cine for little ones. I gave them to my little girl with such good results that I now strongly recommend them to all mothers.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Ten Rules for Long Life. The "Jiji Shimpo," a Japanese news- paper, recently published ten rules which it is said will guarantee those who fallow them life for about two Gen- turies. They are as follows: Pass.as much time as possible in the open air. Eat meat only once a day. Take a hot bath every day. Wear -thick. woollen garments. Sleep for at least six hours, and never more than seven and a halt, with, the window cpened and the room dark- ened. arkened. Rest one day in seven. Avoid ,giving way to anger and ex- cessive brain work. Widows and widowers should re- marry. Work moderately. Do not talk to excess. A Seaman's Soliloquy. (live me the wide sea spaces, 'Far from the shore's dull blight, Where the wind. with •the wild tide races And the whitecaps surge in the light. I was born on the breast of the ocean, And the sea 3s ever my home, Vital and sweet, with a rhythmic beat That follows wherever I. roam. Give me the water calling, And the light of the Northern Star— Sun gleams or gray mist falling, And a ship beyond the bar. My -heart that first beat above it Is` attuned to the mighty main-- And my soul that came from the lays tic deep Will return to its own again. --William Hamilton Hayne.. the in the Navy will in future salute with the right hand only. NJinavil'a Llrrment tilted by Physicians. Web and Song. "A songless web is unlucky," runs the saying in Eriskay. The women of that far Scotch island—bleak, lone and bare and wildly beautiful—see to it that few webs indeed are fashioned, pulled and finished without song. Poor in all things material, Eriskay is rich in folklore, music and tradition. There are many old, time-honored "waulking songs;" and variations ,of old ones or beginnings of new ones; arise timeand again during.the waulking. Mists Amy Murray, the American musician, in +her delightful book, Father Allan's Island, Bias described a waulking as she saw and heard it. Homespun like the song itself and some twenty yards in length,—another point of likeness,—the web to be waulked is flung out, dripping wet, on the waulking board of heavy driftwood planks stet up on stones. Ten women sit facing ene another on either side, and when one of the company strikes up her "Hi ri liu fl o? (Who will blow the silver whistle?) each of the ten clutches her two fists full to the tune in time to send the web deasil—the way of the sun—round and round. At one she th,ro_ws hersillf to right and lays hold; at two she brings it up in front of her; at three she pushes it off to ,left; at four she straightens, up again; and so on, while the cloth, being thumped and rubbed and twisted by a score of hard-working hands, grows hot and shrinks, 1Vleanwhile the company are giving back their "Ha ra hu o iu. ii o," to which the leader answers, My king's son is come to Sootland"—and so they go on with .verse and antiphon. for some • ten couplets. Then the leader strikes into a higher key; the tune goes more quickly; the women work harder. Ten stanzas more, and again the pitch goes up, and the work goes. faster still. There are, some fifty coup- lets in all to a waulking song, at the end. of .which thevraulkers• catch their breath, while the cailleacb (old wo- man) in authority measures with her Highland yardstick, whiehis, four feet long, how much tlfie'cloth has shrunk and finally declares, "It will take about four or five songs, more." It is of course the tune that is the main thing; but music is so instinctive' with the folk of Eristicay that they are often uhaware, when asked to repeat or impart an air,` exactly how they really sling it. Their music is not to them a separate art; it'i0•, as Father Allan put the matter, their "way of doing it" -whatever thing it is they i do it to music.. But words as well as music help to•guide action. i "When I am pulling," said the wife of Duncan, son of Donald, son of Caluinn, "If I get a word wrong, the cloth just goes all wrong!" HISTORIC FORT WILL BE PRESERVED. One department of the Dominion Government is quietly accomplishing a splendid work for the Dominion which may not be fully appreciated at pre- sent but for which future generations will thank its officials,. It is the His- toric Sites branch, of the Department of the Interior. Oki Fort Wellington, near Prescott, his just passed into its hands for preservation. It has an in- spiring history dating back to 1812, when it was the main point of commune, cation between Kingston and Montreal. From it went forth s force In 1888 which repelled an invasion. It was garrisoned again. in 1866 at the time of the Fenian Raids and in. 1886 at the time of the Northwest Rebellion. The upper picture shows the entrance to tie fort and the lower picture part of the wooden stockade. It remains much the same as when it was built. NERVOUS TORTURES Irritation by Day and Sleepless- ness at• Night the Result. There is no torture more intolerable than nervousness. The sufferer starts at every noise, is shaky and depressed. The least thing produces a feeling of irritation, and nights are often sleep- less. Often although in a completely exhausted condition, the patient is un- able to sit or lie still. The nerves are in this jaded. condition because they are being starved by poor, watery blood and to restore them to a normal condition the blood must be made rich, red and pure. For this purpose no other medicine can equal Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They act directly upon the blood; they bring to it the elements necessary to enrich and purify it, thus bringing new health and strength to run-down, nerve -worn peo- ple. There is no doubt about this; thousands Have testified to the blood - improving, nerve -restoring qualities of these pills. Among these is Mrs. Aub- rey Coldwell, Melansan, N.S., who says:—"I was badly run down and my nerves were in a terrible condition. I would start at thea least sound and often faint away, I could not sleep at night, and only those who have been in • a similar condition can . tell what I suffered. eet my mother's request, I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after taking them for several months I am surprised at my present condition ot good health. My nerves are as sound as ever; I can sleep well and eat well, and have no more :aint- ing spells. I can only say that I can- not praise Dr; Williams' Pink Pills too much for what they have done for me." You can get these pills through, any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Water North of Alaska. The chief object of the Arctic ex- pedition which not long ago returned to Copenhagen_ was tosettle the ques- tion .whether there is land or a deep sea to the north of Alaska. A sledge expedition was made` in March over the ice. Fifty miles from the coast the party found crevices through i which they sounded to a depth of 2,640 feet without reaching bottom. Sixty miles further on the result was the same. Turning then toward the south- east they found the edge of the .con- tinental shelf. ` The conclusion is• ,that deep water exists north of Alaska, at least to a great distance. Running No Risks. Ronnie, aged four, had grown tired of blowing .bubbles, ,so he asked his mother to read him the sttory in the Bible about the city with Bore golden streets,. "Very well, dear, but have you taken the soap out of the water?" she asked. "I'm pevetty thore I have," said Ron- nie; who was a little short -tongued. When sae reached the words: "And there shall in no wise enter into it any that . maketh a lie," he slid from her knees and raid: "I fink I'll go and thee' about that thoap." "Children who drink a glass of milk or more daily are taller, heavier, and more advanced in schoolwork than those who drink none, says an Am- ericari health expert. Mi.tard's Liniment for sale everywhere Rice -Field Waste Benefits Sugar Refining. From the fibrous rice materials—the hulls, straw, and fibers—which form- erly cost money to dispose of, now is being made a product that not only brings a return to the planters and the Brills, but finds a ready use as an economical substitute for boneblack in refining sugar. The fact was discover- ed by accident when a eh.em-1st, who was experimenting with the paper- making qualities of rice waste, left some of it in his drying oven for sev- eral days. He found that though the waste had become thoroughly carbon- ized, it had not shrunk or lost' its shape, which indicated it to be a por- ous material of clarifying properties,. He mixed some with =looses and there was na change, but when he boiled it with caustic soda to remove the silica, and then mixed it with mo- lasses, the mixture cleared up at once. As a decolorizer it is mixed with a sugar solution in the proportion of one- half pound to 100 pounds of sugar, heated in a suitable tank, and filtered. The material still possesses consider- able coagulating properties and gum - absorbing power, and is used for clari- fying impure cane juice.

SAYS IT'S WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD Mrs. Matthews Pays High Tri- bute to Tanlac far Ending Stomach Trouble. "I am so thankful for the wonderful benefits I have received from the Tan - lac treatment I just want to tell every- body In Toronto about it," declared lVlrs. Ellen Matthe- s,'104 Eastern Ave., Toronto, Ontario. "I suffered so terribly with stomach trouble and a run-down condition that I feared nervous collapse.

A report just issued by the British• Forestry Commissioners says the mea- sures which are being adopted by Vari- ous foreign countries indicate the existence of widespread apprehension of a timber famine at no distant date, and also expresses the opinion that the results of such a famine would be more disastrous for the 'United Xing - dein than for any other country. The demand, continues tire report, is constantly increasing, and virgin for- ests are being worked out far more rapidly than was expected, and adds: "There can be little doubt that the Government will in the near future have to choose between a resumption of a full planting program adopted by Parliament and taking a risk which no other country is prepared to take," Not Ambitious for Father. A New England man who had at various times been a candidate for public office has e. small son about six. years of age. On one occasion this lad, who had been meditating upon tine uncertain- ties of kingly existence, asked his mother: "If tha King of England should die, who would be king?" "The Prince of Wales." "If the Prince of Wales should die, who would be king?" His mother endeavored to :explain, but the lad, with, a deep breath, said: "Well, anyway, I hope dad won't try for it" Borrow trouble for yourself if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbors.—Mr. Rudyard Kipling.
