The mower paused to whet his scythe, And whetting it he sang Till to the merry tune and blithe The stretching hay fields rang. The sweat ran down his sunburnt face, But deep his breath and slow, • A wind made ripples in the place Where still he had to mow. The whetstone rasped along the snath, Which hummed beneath the stroke, The knife that had laid low the swath In ringing triumph spoke. What words were coupled -to -the tune He sang amid the hay? It may have been a wordless rune 'Phe mower sang that day. But fully did I understand The song that then I heard, As though each note the mower spanned Was wedded to a word. And as he sang my dull heart sang And lifted to the blue, While all the stretching hayfield rang And all my spirit, too. Maurioe Morris, Funeral Before Death. e-uneral services for an old couple • who are still alive have just been held at Kochi, fapan. The man, who is the proprietor of a fashionable restaurant, and his wife, are both seventy, and it was their de- sire that their funeral' should take place before their death. A long cortege of "mourners" left the Kochi park, and all the procedure of the funeral service according to Buddiet rites was carried out in regu- lar order at the Hongwan Temple. After the service the eoupie enter- tained many of their "mourners" at a dinner, given to celebrate their longe- vity. They believe that the "funeral" has • given them a new lease of life. Pennies as Pledges. In its original form the. peppy was net a coin, .but a; tolten or pledge, Its derivation names from the same source as that from which we get' the word il "pawn," and also such words as l "pan.el,'' "pane," counterpane,'" and "panicle." The • readiest pledge • to leave in pawn was cloth, hence the Latin "pan- na," a piece of cloth. The original panel was a piece of cloth, or patch, and from this we get the word ''pane" as applied to a pane of glass, and also the word "penny," its literal meaning being a pledge or token, and hence a coin. Originally the word was spelt "peny." The word shilling really means a divisfon of money into- small parts,. and is obtained from a word meaning "to divide." Thus, in the first place, it was not a coin, but an indication of money having been made up in small form. Sterling, as applied to money, is de- rived from the Hanseatic League, which had an important house in Eng- land. As their land lay "to the east of England," Englishmen called them "Easterlings," and the gold they paid in the course of trade became known as; "Easterling money." Subsequently the expression became sterling,. C.C.S. "Arctic" Again Sails for Far North. Birth of An Island The birth of an island is described '.n a report received recently from the master of the steamship Jacox, who declares that he was a witness of part of the phenomenon. While on his route from Singapore, a violent disturbance was. noted on the surface of the sea, where a mass "dark in color, with straight sides, about 100ft. in height and between two and three miles in length," had risen above the surface. "There were breakers along the en- tire length," added the captain, "and the sea was washing away loose ma- terial, Repeated explosions were noted, causing large waves. These continued at intervals of about one minute for more than an hour." The island has been officially named Tagawa, but on most charts is desig- nated "Newbern." about nine -tenths Turnips are water. The Canadian Government steam- ship Arctic sailed from Quebec on July .9th for points in the Canadian Arctic archipelago in the provisional district of Franglin, Northwest Territories. It had been intended that the ,ship re- cently purchased in England for this service, and renamed the Franklin, would be used this year, but owing to unforeseen delays in having her hull strengthened to meet ice conditions this was impossible and it was neces- sary to recommission the famous old Arctic for one more northern voyage. As last year the expedition, which is in charge of the North West Terri- tories Branch of the Department of the Interior, is commanded by Mr. J. D. Craig, and Captain. J. E. Bernier is in charge of the Arctic. Those on board include a number of surveyors, naturalists., and engineers -to investi- gate the natural resources of the re- gion; the members of the special court which is to conduct the trial of three Eskimos charged with murder; and a number of members of the Royal. Cana dian Mounted Police to relieve men stationed in the north. The cargo con- sisted chiefly of supplies for the posts at Craig Harbor and Ponds Inlet and for the new posts it le intended to es- tablish. It is expected the Arctic will return in October. SAVE THE CHILDREN Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house "May feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot weath- er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thousands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given occasional- ly to the well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaran- teed by government analyst to be ab- solutely harmless even to the new- born babe. They' are especially good in summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. I, - Surnames and Their Origin CUMMING. Variations — Cummings, Commings, Cumyn. Racial Origin—Norman-French. Source—A locality. This group of family names• is dis- tinctly Scottthh. It 1s, in fact, the ,tame of an old feudal estate in Nor- mandy. This does not mean, however, that any appreciable amount . of French blood flows in the veins of descend- ants of the Clan Cumming, for names form no infallible guide to blood. Prob- ably no better example of this could ,•- , be given than in the case of this par ti•cular name. The Sire de "Comeyn," or "Comic" ea:s it is spelled in another copy of the battle roll called at the command of William the Conqueror foliowieg the Battle of Hastings, at which he broke the kingdom of. the Anglo-Saxons, was one of the followers- of the 'Conqueror. His given name -does not -5p ear, but the name of the place of which he was the ruler served for the Norman noble- man the same purpose as a modern family name, for his. rulersihip was hereditary. Either this nobleman or his son pre- sumably was the Richard "Comyn" who settled in Scotland and became a follower of King David- L of that country, starting the family on the road to high honors. Later a John, known: a51• the "Red Cumyn," lead,' claim to the Scottish, throne and killed Robert the Bruce. The family won its holdings and position in this Highlands, as a few other Norman families did, both through •intermarriage and grants of the Scottish kings. In this manner the clan fallowing gradually was built eta froze tlea iit~rzabttauts• of the granted territories, they, of course, taking the name from the chief of the clan. NEWMAN Variations—Neuman, Neumann, New- comer, Newcum, Newcomb.. Racial Origin—English and German. Source—Descriptive. . It was not until after the Norman, conquest, and the two. races, Norman and Anglo-Saxon, had begun to inter- mingle thoroughly, that the period of• industrial growth began. This period,""bne of increasing pros- perity for the medieval English, was; also the •period in which the real growth of family names began in that country. It was a period in which, as a result of the new social and econo- mic order, there was a considerable shifting about of population occurring. Men maved'.about from place to place, in the slackening' bonds of feudalism, searching for new opportunities. There was not 'a community that did not have its quota of new settlers'. When you search for another word than "1;awoomers"' by which to desig- nate then), you realize liow naturally. they came to :be ca.iled. "newcomers" by;the. c mniuuities in whichthey set-. tied. Such names as "Peter le Newe," "Geoffrey le Newcomer". and "Roger Neweommen" ("newly come") are quite frequent in the medieval records of about this period. The nam of "Newcomb properly should not havethatfinal;:o`b," for it does not, come from the word "comb," 4escriptive- of the character 'of the land, mike the names Combs, Coombe and Coombes. Neuman and Neumann are for the most part German equivalents of the English name.

Some people havo aatendency to be- come thin -blooded just as others have an Inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condi- tion in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and stealthily that anyone with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symp- toms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can. be corrected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlessness on slight ex- ertion, such as going up stairs, is no- ticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of diseases caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood -making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. What Stopped Them? "Why those crabs are not moving. I wouldn't dare buy one of them." "Lady, I'll swear exery one of 'em was moving jes before -You looked at 'em" Music is l?"rganized Sound. With regard to performing and hear- ing music, the multiplication of in- struments like the player piano and the talking machine added to the large number of persons who are able to play the piano, the organ, the violin and other stringed instruments—these all have smoothed the way to the un- derstanding and appreciation of music. It is by no means true that 11111,1):C is appreciated when it Is understood, nor is It necessarily understood when it is appreciated. A long experience in teaching musical appreciation to col- lege students has, convinced one well- known authority of the truth of these statements, (1) An understanding of music without any real love for it, without feeling its worth, will result in mere snobbery, (2) A love of music, a belief in its great value without knowledge of its structure, without any exact knowledge how it grew or of what it is composed, will leave its possessor critically helpless, unable to distinguish between the faire and the true, able to say only this, "I know what I like." To know what music is made of, to approach it as organized sound, to realize that it has structure, to know that it is subject to the same great laws of growth as the other arts, to es- teem it not because it helps one to make pictures, or for any other rea- son, but because it has value in and of itself, this is to understand music. Quite apart from what many people are pleased to term its message, be- yond any emotional enjoyment ex- perienced in hearing it, music exists as organized sound, and lasting and profound appreciation of music come to one the more profoundly that truth is apprehended.

If a farmer desires a bountiful har- vest he will not be stingy with his seed planting, and it is equally true that he who would; have friends must give generously of himself. In the moral world if we desire happiness; we must "scatter seeds of kindness for the reaping by and bye."

The purchasers are generally rieh and don't often dispute the price, and the supply is rarely equal to the demand. In a recent court case, says London Opinion, a witness who was a furniture dealer testified as follows: "In October, 1920, I went to Sudbury Hall, Lard Vernon's place in Derby- shire, to bring to town ten Chippen- dale chairs and two settees that we had bought. In a few days we sold them to Messrs. Dighton." "What did you pay for them?" asked the examining lawyer. "About sax hundred pounds." "How long was it before you sold them to Messrs. Dighton?" "About six weeks." "For how much?" "One thousand four hundred pounds." "And then they were sold to Mr. Shrager for three thousand pounds! What do you suppose Lord Vernon would think of that—a profit of two thousand four hundred pounds the dealers made out of his chairs in a few weeks?" What indeed! Keep Minard's Liniment in the house. Manifestations. Lord, who walked' upon the sea, Is it you who pass Softly in the grass When a little wind blown over, Scarcely bending down the clover? Is thin robe of blooming yours Spread across the field, That its hem has healed Suddenly my bitter heart With a virtue passing art? And the high far touch of hills On my narrow sight Shedding vistaed light— Is it your hand healing me As the blind of Galilee? —Hilda Morris. When the young man or woman fin- ishes college with the inquisitive mood still working, one may be quite cer- tain that the years of student toil have not been spent in vain.
