Surnames and Their Origin
O'REILLY
Variations- Reilly, Rielly, O'Rielly,
. Riley, Ryley, Reyley, O'Rahilly, Ra-
hilly, Radley, Ridley, Kellie, Raleigh.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—Given name.
Al] of the . foregoing variations are
traceable to an Irisrh source, though
a few of them oleo •'may have origin-
ated from other souroes in seine cases.
There were several branches of the
Clan O'Reilly in Ireland, ar, as the
Irish s+pellin.g mase it, "O'Ragheallaigli"
or "O'Radheolatigh." The four princi-
pal ones were in Dublin, Down, Letrim
and Wexford. Histely traces this ate
dent surname back to a period just
' prior to 1014 A.D., when the new clan
was formed from the still more an-
cient O'Rourk clan. This "Rageheo-
tech" or "Radhecllach" ooncerndng the
spelling of wh'ceee isan,e there was
some confusion, was slain, according
tp historical record, in the great bat-
tle with the Danes at Clontarf, in that
year.
It is certain, however, that some of
the names in the variations mentioned
are not •alway:s of Trish origin. Raleigh,
for 'instance; is traced by some to the
old French given name of "Relat."
There can be little doubt that in dome
oases Radley is derived front the
name of a locality in Staffordshire.
There is a place called Ridley in Kent
also. In addition there is good evi-
dence that Reilly and Rielly are some-
times but modern developments from
the piece name of "Reality" in France,
for in the medieval English records it
des found, do the form "de Ruliiillire."
GEDDES
'Variation—Getty, Geddeson.
Racial Origin—E ng'I ish.
Source A given name.
Here is a group of family names
which belong to that primary classifi-
cation of those 1eerived from given
names. The origin, however, ie not
obvious for two reasons. In the first
place, .the given name from which they
are dexived le no longer a cowmen
one, though it was quite popular in the
middle ages. In the second place a
considerable change in spelling has
helped to conceal the source..
The given name is Grideon.
Courage, of course, was regarded as,
the prime virtue in the rather tumult -
1 nous period in which family names be SUMMER coii`ALti/FaB i®ts
gen to Point, and it was quite logical]l��
• that those given -names in the Old
Testament which were associated with ��� LITTLE
this virtue became very popular in KILL
England, as'elsewhere.
The fornnation of these family names
was 'not at, first a conscious preoces's.
A mem would be referred to as "Ralph,
Gideon's son" rte distinguish hien from
other Ralphs in the community. Per-
haps
erhaps his son would be known ars
"Gideon," Ralph's son," while the third
generation 'would develop another
"Ralph, Gidreon's son," perhapse,im this
germeretion to lose ate purely descrip-
tive meaning and be adopted as a re-
gular family to be passed on to suc-
ceeeddng generations.
Natural •changes of spelling tore re-
sponsible for the variations, of to -dais',
the forms Geddes and Getty being ab-

Real Slavery
eividized peoplee often call .thsm-
seeives "slaves," but etlheey have no con-
celption ,o f- what real/ Savary is, . Tbey
probably imagine, also, that slavery in
the old sense is -wiped out, It is not.:
Britain et thiel ;,moment isr tryng to put
drown selavery on the Okav'ango'River,
in South-West Africa, and the chletS
have been notified that site does not
tolerate their system. ,
More than half the people in. th±es
primitive district are slaves,. The pro-
portion is kept• use by the facet that the
ohildren of all slaves "are <slaves them-
selves, having no .chance of release.
Every kraal bwee d, -chief; 'and heads-
men leasable slha.vest who may legally
be beaten if tili'ee rebel, and who spend
their lives without any vestige of in -1
dependence.
They are each temporarily allotted ,

Golden Words.
Huge sums of money have been paid
4n recent years for the memoirs, of cer-
tain celebrated people. But this is not
an innovation in the literary world.
Winston Churchill was repeated to
get $40,000• chowei for the life of his
father, Lord Randolf Churchill, and
Lord Morley got a cheque far. $50,000
tor hie "Lite of Gladstone." Rudyerd
Kipling has often been paid as much
ae a quarter a word for a sbort'store%
It is said that Hall Caine parted with
the rights of "The Christian" for $43,-
500, and It is certain that Mario Corel -
lea has got at least as much for a
Hovel.
Lord Macaulay got $100,000 for his
colossal "History of England," the
demand for which was so great that
the vanscarrying it from the publish-
ing officeblocked the street. Lamar -
tine got $200,000 also for his history,
Victor Hugo $30,000
abler," and Daudet cracked the record
with 0$200,000 for "Sapho "
Even poets' have made money. Tom
Moore asked and got $40,000 for "Lana
Rookh," and Tennyson for many years
matte $20,000 a year.

Curing Dental Diseases
by X -Ray.
4. lamp of pimple construction which
can focus violet rays to the merest
speck of intenale light is being used
with effect against pyorrhoea germs,
which die off under the treatment in
millions iu little more than four min:
utes•. Pyorncoea,;is the most preval'e¢nt
and destructive dental disease.
The device is known as• the Pashler
tungsten lextep. It is the invention of
Mr. F. i'orbes, of West Kensington,
and is installed )u the snergeriees of a
se number of prominent deenetitsrse, one of
whom is. Mr. R. Hodgson, a dental con-
. sultanet at the Royal Waterloo Hasp!-

"I cannot yet state that the lamp
can cure pyorrhoea in all stages;'' he
told the writitr, "but it is certainly the
most effective deterrent 1 know. One
patient, aged fifty, was suffering frroan
pyorrhoea, and I regarded him as a
li,o'peless case, ;The patient was anxi-
ous to retain his teeth, so I decided to
try the lamp.
"In two days he returned;. The
teeth were much firmer, and the gums
in an infinitely healthier < coendeietibn. It.
has still to be 'shown whether the
treatment can cure advaneced pyor-
rhoea, but I think themeis no doubt
that .with accurate technique it can
cure the earlier stages of pyorrhoea."
The vital poets, of the Tamp are two
''-; short rode of tungsten metal, about
the 'th'ieoloness of a lead pencil, and a
cefiren lens.. ' Ellectric current is ` con-
.veeyed to the rods, and the violet ;rays

A Common Experience.
"It •is a fact," said Stiettler, "that my

"Whet!"'exclaimed Bittaem, also a

vent .summer complaints if given oe-
casiolially to the well child and will
promptly relieve these troubles if they
come on suddenly. Baby's Own Tab-
lets should always be kept in every
home where there are growing child-

good and the mother has the guarantee
of a government analyst that they are
absolutely safe. The Tablets are sold
by medicine dealers or.by mail at 25

What the Little Eels Missed.
A profiteer bought a luxurious coun-
try home and sect about making it even
more liuxurious. Money of criurse was
no object. One of hie plans was to
have a fishpond containing eels.
"But you can't keep eels, in a pond,"
suggested his neighbor, to whom- he
had confided lila ideea. They have to
go down to the sea every year, you
know."
"Well, I won't leave 'em, then!" ex-
claimed
xclaimed the profiteer. "I always takes
the m'iseus and the kids, every year,
but I ain't going to take no eels."
