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.

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.

Hodgson, a dental con- . sultanet at the Royal Waterloo Hasp!- : tel: • "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."

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." Her Intuition.
