Brodie is the name of one of the Scottish clans, much of the ancient history of which was lost for all time when, about 1645, Lord Gbrdon spread waste their lands and bunted their stronghold. Racially the clan does not seem to have been Gaelic,. for originally it came from Moray, from which it must be concluded that it probably was Pic- tish. But, about 1160 it begins to appear upon the historical records which re- main to -day as one of the clanswhitsh was loyal to King Malcolra IV„ at the time when he insured himself against future rebellions by transplanting cer- tin clans which had questioned his authority, The Brodies were among those who received grants of land at that tinie. The clan name itself was epparent- ly derived from a place name, that of "Brodie," or as it appeared in one of the ald Latin writs of King Alexander UI., "Brothie," a locality ia Moray. The place name is descriptive of the nature of the ground, meaning a coun- tryside broken, by little ridges of ground. The transition from the elan names of Scotland and Ireland to family names virtually is DO transition at all, for in those ancient days. in which the clan. names originated they fulfilled all the functions of the modern family name, in addition to having signific- ance in the political and social struc- s - The 'Supplicant.

Brisbane, perhaps, is not a name widely borne, but it is widely known. It belongs in the classification of family names, which have been de- rived !rola names of places. In this instance the place name is of Cornish - British origin, forming part Ot the now scanty remains of an all but extinct branch of the Celtic language, a branch more allied to the Welsh and the Bre- ton than to the Gaelic of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. Around the name may be woven a romance of speculation as to the scenes which occurred there in an- cient days before the advent of the Saxon and the Norman, before the ad- vent of Christianity; for the name nseans "hill of judgment." It evident- ly constituted anciently the court in which men were tried for their of- fences according to laws and customs now forgotten. But long since the character of the place has been for- gotten the name has stuck, and in that much later period when men came to be Imown by the names of the places froxn which they came, and the names of their fathers as well as by their own given names, this place name made its advent into the records of family names.

The use of artificial light is simply to induce the hens to eat a greater quantity of feed. This, of course, with proper exercise, results in increased egg production. Therefore it matters little when the lights are turned on. Some people prefer morning, and tufa on a couple oe hours before sunrise. In this case, scatter the grain ration In the litter after .dark the previous evening, and when the hens get off the roost in the morning they will int- raediately get busy sceatching for their feed. Then feed your hot mash at noon, and your grain late in the af- ternoon again. Others prefer con- tinuing daylight, by artificial means, until 8.30 or 9 p.m., feeding grain about 7 a.m., hot mash at meta grain again THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS Eyes for the Blind. Marvelous strides toward helping the blind were made during the war, but a recent English •beveation Pfe- mises to exeeed alnaost all of them. Every one is familiar with the books made especially for the blind by the Braillio mettiod, n which the letters' are raised or tndented by means of a sharp instrument. It is a slow and la- borious process at best, and the sup- ply o Braillie books is necessarily limited by the expense of the output and because Braillie letters wear down Into unintelligibility. But now comes the optophone, a ma - cline which makes available to the blind all kinds ot tyPewritten matter and even newspapers. It depends not upon the sense of touch, as do the Braillie books, but upon the sense of hearing, a faculty that is usually keen- ly developed in all blind perspus. Only a few lessons are needed for the blend user of the optophone to learn the sys- tem. The chemleal selenium is the impor- tant element M the optophone. A selenium bridge is exposed to light pulsations that vary according to the forms of tete typewritten or printed letters that are passed throngh the machine. A. sensitive head phone like those used by radio enthusiasts is worn by the blind operator, and it re- cords single notes and chords through the ,selenium bridge.

The English composer and teacher, Sir Watford Davies, has been giving some very successful lectures on music to ehildren in. the schools. Re- cently the somewhat novel experiment of transferring these lectures, together with musical examples, to the phono- graph, has been tried out with re- markable success. A somewhat lengthy review of these records was published recently in the London Times, and in it was embodied some quotations from Sir Walford's lectures, which are well worth remem- bering. "Music," Sir Waltord says, "is any two or more .musical soinads put to- gether tor love, that make sense." And again, "Music is a straight and beauti- ful way of utterieg what we feel." "A musician," Sir Walford tells us, "is any one in the whole world who loves music and can put two or more musi- cal sounds together and make musical sense of them." MONEY ORDERS.

"What were the four elements," she asked, "into Which the ancients di- vided all natural objects? William, you may answer." "Earth," began William slowly. "Earth -- and -- and --- air—let's see, there was earth and air and—water-- and--and--" • "Well, well," said the teacher brisk: ly, "what causes more accidents than anything else?" "Automobiles," cried William grate- ful for the teacher's tip. 1 An uphill journey early in life strengthens your staying -power. A guineaepig is usually full grown when six theeks old. the mud.
