Surnames and Their Origin
SPOONER
Racial Ortgin--English,
Source—An occupation.
Family naives, particularly those
which are derived from occupations,
conceal within themselves many inter-
esting side lights on the habits and
customs• of an age now dim in history.
It's one of those obvious family
names. It comes from the word
"spoon" (reference being_ to the uten-
.i1, not the action). 1f family names
wer'e.being formed to -day there would
be none of this one, for though there
are millions more spoons in nee to -day
than there were in the Middle Ages,
'where to -day will you find a spoon-
m'aker? Lots of manufacturers make
spoons, but we don't call then) spoon-
'amakers, because they make knives and
forks and soup ladies as well. Lots of
workmen may specialize in spoonmak-
nt. f
_Ing in the factories .of thse manufac-
turers.;
a 1 ac-
turers; but ea.ciat one handles only a
special process, one step in the menu-
sea-
dealers sell spoons,
facture. Lots. of e p ,
blit they sell so many other things as
well that we call them hardware deal-
ers or jewelers.
But in the Middle Ages it was dif-
ferent. The very existence of the
name Spooner proves it. The "spoon-
er' made spoons and the "cutler"
made knives, and neither• interfered
with the other's trade nor thought of
combining the two. And why are there
no "I+'orkers" to -day? Because in the
Middle Ages, in England at least, the
fork was unknown as a table "tool."
SUTTON
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A local ity.
There are not many persons who can
guess offhand the original meaning of
the family name of Sutton, unless,
perhaps., they see it in the company of
such navies as Easton and Weston.
Yes, that is it, "Southtown" would
he the full and modern spelling of the
name, which, from being the name of
a place, has also become the name of
many persons whose ancestors hailed
from that place.
There is an erroneous idea, still quite
widespread, that names originally bear-
ing a prefixed "de" were by, virtue of
this "de" indicated as of "noble" orig-
in. Nothing could be further from the
truth, even though it is true that moat
of the ancient noble families bore sur-
names so prefixed.
„ „
thepeople The de meant to le of Nor:p p
man England exactly what it means• to
the people of France to -day. It meant
"of," and nothing more. "William de
Sutton" means "William of Sutton."
Such surnames were borne by the
over -lords of domains. But they were
also borne by anybody, even serfs in
many instances, who had come from
the places mentioned.
Sutton is a town in Devonshire.

The compass used for laying off

the standard compass. With it are

There are three north points that
the navigator must take into considera-

the straight line, the meridian of longi-

Second, the magnetic north, which is

When the navigating officer gives
the helmsman a course he first obtains
from the chart the magnetic course
that he wants. This he corrects for

course by standard compass that he

He• then goes to the standard com-

The helmsman .notes the reading on

course until further orders. The ship
is then on her course. The officer of
the watch compares the two compass-

Lettuce is one of the more important Drudge.
and common of these vegetables, even
thougih, it contains only one part of
iron in 50,000 of the raw substance, ac-
cording to analyses recently made by
a scientist. This ie a much smaller
proportion of iron than that existing
in the human body, yet lettuce is a
valuable source of that necessary ele-

that the only practicable way to get
iron is to take it ah a vegetable 0•r to..
