The Exeter Advocate, 1923-6-14, Page 3Always keep BOVRIL in the House .. You can never tell when you may want it surnames and Their Origin KELSEY, Variation—Kelsy. Racial, Origin—English. Sources --A place name. Here is a family name which though it is properly classified as an English one, really traces back to an ultimate Celtic origin rather than to Anglo- Saxon sources. As a family name, however, it is just as likely to be borne by descendants of the Anglo-Saxons as the Coreisli-British from whom the piace'•name comes down. The village or town of this name, spelled Kelsey to -day, is in Lincoln- shire. An older spelling, and one ol«oser to the original name in the Cornish tongue, was "Kelsyck" or Kea syc." "Kel," in the ancient tongue of the Cornish, signified a "neck" in the geo- graphical sense, and the word "eye," or "sack" meant "dry," The place name is, of course, of great antiquity, antedating the Anglo- Saxon invasion of that section of Eng- land, and like other place names in the vniddl•e ages, it became that basis of a family name indicating originally that the bearer had come from that place or was in. same way connected with. it. FENNESSY Variations — Finnessy, O'Fennessey, O'Finnessy. Racial Origin—Irish, Source—A given name. Here is an Irish family name wih:ich while perhaps not so widespread to- day as some other Irish names, carries with it much of historical romance. This name was borne by one of"the most powerful clans in Ireland during the Middle Ages, which was one of the last in its section of 'the country to go down before the force of English arms. The 'Gaelic form of the clan name was "O'Fiangusa," derived from the given name of the chieftain "Fiangus," who led it into fame at a very early period of the Middle Ages, The strong hold of the clan was near "Cashel of the Kings" in Tipperary County. The pronunciation of the'old Gaelic name is not so different from that of the modern Anglicized form as might be supposed from the spelling. Light Without Heat Invented in France. A French engineer has made a dis- covery which, it is believed, will cause a revolution in methods of illumina- tion. At present most electric lamps use up 70 per cent. of their energy in giving out heat rather than light. Risier has constructed a lamp which gives out light without, heat. He snakes use of a vacuum tube through which a phosphorescent material is passed. As soon as the electric current is passed through this, a light is produced which. is brighter than that of the largest lamps now in use. The consumption of energy is only 15 watts an hour in a tube six metres long , and seven millimetres in dia- meter. No Death by Accident on Railway in 50 Years. Pb :re is a railroad in operation to- day }hich holds the remarkable re- cord Sf never having had an accident so se 'ere as to cause loss of life, says a Lor•'don despatch. "It must be a toy railrrad," some one will say, But even those meet with dire catastrophes sometimes. This is a real railroad, which has been running for more than fifty years, and is still running to -day. During that time it has carried more than 1,000,- 000,000 passengers and not a life has been lost due to accident on the road. It is the North London Railway, begun by Robert Stephenson, Pick and Nick. Thin is the season -when picnics are in full swing, bet how many of the thousands who enjoy them could 'gay why they were given their name? The explanation is simple. When a picnic was being arranged it was the custom for those who were' to be pre- sent to promise to supply food and drink. A list of the things necessary was drawn up and passed round, each per- son picking out the articles he or she would supply. The name of the article was "nicked" on the list—that is to say, a nark was placed against it. The open-air entertainment thus came to he known as "Pick and nick." The custom is said to date from 1802. Masterpieces of Music. Many of the world's greatest master- pieces are known to have been written in an incredibly short time. The Mes- siah of Handel is reported to have taken the composer exactly twenty- eight days.` The Barber of Seville of Rossini is said to have been the work of a fortnight, La Traviata of Verdi, if his biographers are correct, was done in less -than one month. Schu- bert often poured out this immortal songs at the rate of three and four a day. The gift of melody seems like a kind of musical fountain—once set flowing it continues without interrup- tion in a marvelous. manner.

A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr, Williams' Pink Phis, These pills enrich and purify the blood so that' the poisonous rheumatic matter is -driven out of the system as nature intended.

Mother had a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house and thought they might help me. I began taking them, and when I had taken these pills •got a further supply, with the result that the rheumatism vanish- ed and I was a well girl. I may add that nay mother and two of my sisters have also used the pills for various ail- ments with, equal success, and now we are never without then in the house."

The roads of June are paved with shadows dancing, The flowers new magic know, Through trees, tbickyeayed, the .shiver moon is glancing, The glad reeds whisper low. Soft ivy -fingers at my pane are tapping, When zephyrs drowsy dream, And idle willows in the dusk are lap- ping The waters, of the stream. June's- cup of loveliness my [heart is quaffing— Ah, merry sounds the surge upon the bar, As in the moonlight lone it tumbles, laughing At Even's loyal star. The heartstrings of the summer night are throbbing Like pulsing of sweet lyres, Then laughter of the creeping Morn comes, robbing The dream and heart desires. Aileen Ward.

A spider native of Trinidad has: a body as large around as a flfty cent piece, and eight legs, which spread themselves out to a circumference the size of a cheese plate. For months at a time these spiders, husband and wife, will live irreproachably together in a chosen corner. of a cupboard or ceiling, where they stay during 'the hours of daylight, the wife clasping her white egg case to her body by her forelegs. After dark, when they hunt, they run all over the house, for they spin no web, but get their living catch ing cockroaches by sheer fleetness of foot. They aro seldom disturbed or killed, partly because of their very considerable running powers.
