But there are evidences that at an early period, before the formation of family names had become general and com- plete throughout England, it also came to be used. as a given name, with cases here and there where its use of a family name developd anew from the given name of Wallace. In the beginning it was a surname, purely descriptive of nationality, and you run across it in the old records in such terms. as Owen le Walys, meaning "Owen the Welsh." It was very common, too, for even in those days the close knitting of the bonds between England- and Wales had be- gun, and there were rnany men of Welsh blood scattered throughout the former country. It was just the sort of distinctive description that a man's neighbors would pick out by which to differentiate hire, and it was also na- tural that tete same appellation should be applied to his sons. Thus it be-, earns a family name of sorts 'mate early, and even developed a use as a given name, though as a rule the use of family names for baptism did not become a custom until long after the formation of family names was com- plete. Thus in some instances those bear- ing the name of Wallace are descend- ants of some one who bore the given name of Wallace. But for the most part they are descendants of ancestors originally Welsh.

The "O.Rog- halms, to use the nearest equifalent to the old Irish spelling, trace back in nearly every case to a chieftain of this name who was a descendant in the line of O'Dea. The other source is from the given name, or sobrigitet "Ruadh," meaning "red." Ruadh, is met with most fre- quently in the Irteh nomenclature, but always in the form of a descriptive ad- dition to the fatally name, distinguish- ing one branch of a faintly from an- other • by its coloring, which explains why we so often meet such terms in Irish, and even Scottish history as "The Red O'Connor," "The Black Douglas" and the like. But only Under very ex- ceptional circumstances have such qualifying terms. developed into real family names in the Gaelic, tongue. The usual course would be for such a word first to become a given name, and from this develop inter -a -family name. So with "Ruadh," the family name developed from which is proper- ly Beane. But the similarity of sound between Rowan and Ruane has often led to their interchange in English spelling. The English family name is proper- ly Rpan, which was the common medieval spelling of the name of the city Rouen, in France. Settlers in England from foreign eities quite com- monly came to be known by the names of the cities or countries whence they You may talk of lofty places, You may boast of pomp and power, Men may turn their eager faces To the glory of an hour, But give me the h-umble station, WitIi its joys that long survive, For the daddies of a nation Are the happiest men alive. —Edgar A.

"Wonders never cease" is an old saying, and certainly as true to -day as ever it was. The simple electric -light switch by meane a which a room can be flooded with brilliant light, or even a whole town illuminated in a remnant, was a tremendous step in advance, but we are now promised a light which never goes out. There is nothing to pay, except the original cost of buy- ing, say, half a pint of liquid air. You pour your Wield light iiito a bulb, and the resultant light is said to be superior to electric or any other known light, except Nature's own brand of daylight. This light, being, in_ fact, radio -active, will remain good for seven years or more, when the bulb may require re -filling. It is claimed also that this liquid will eventually make coal and oil power a thing of the past. If that is the case, the real abolition of smoke seems to be in sight, for although elec.- tric power is smokeless, there will be smoke as long as fuel is necessary for its generation. Canadian Exhibits Ready at Empire Fair by April 1. The Department of Trade and Com- merce has received a cable stating the Canadian building at the British Em- pire Exhibition, Wembly Park, will be completed February 1st, and the ex- hibits in place April 1st. The Cana- dian building is much further ad- vanced than any of the others. Much difficulty has been met through lack of facilities for transporting supplies and materials to the grounds. Labor costs have been greater than anticipated, but It was felt it would be more econ- omical to go ahead and secure early completion than to be at the mercy of employees toward the opening of the exhibition, when all buildings would be necessarily completed at any costs. Both Australia and New Zealand ad- mit that Canada has stolen a march on them and secured greater results. Select Your Hens for Breeding Now. By Sam W. Knife. Too many poultry breeders leave the selection of their breeding hens till January or February, instead of se- lecting them in the Fall, when they go into their winter quarters. Of course it is not suggested that they should be mated up then, butt -a -pick- ing out the most desirable birds for next year's breeders they can be separated, allowed free range, if it's available, until real severe weather sets in. Eggs from these birds during the winter months should be a second- ary consideration only. The main pant is to haye them healthy and in good vitality when eggs are required for hatching. Therefore mash and other egg producing feeds should be limited, supplemented by a body and muscle building ration. Care must be taken not to over feed, or by spring the hens will be too fat ta If you have any hens which have layed right up to October or Novem- ber, hang right onto them; •also if you have trap -nested keep your 150 -egg birds and over. If you have a surplus of hatching eggs from such sea& they are readily disposed of, and even if they only lay a, couple .of settings ot eggs you know you may have chicks well worth while from their eggs. While your bieeders should have good care and attention, abundant ex- ercise is absolutely necessary, with- out which you cannot expect the muscles and functional organs to have the energy needed for subsequent utilization or the power to resist ad- verse influences. Do not contemplate using pullets and hens which you have "forced'. for eggs, under artificial lights, as the re- sults in fertility are usually disap- pointing. Keep an eye on your cock- rels, pick out the .quick maturing, large framed and good typed birds to head your pens. • If two or more males are to be used in one pen, get them accustomed to each other ,before breed- ing season; this will insure peace and contentment in your ldreeding quitrters. Breed only from geed males, for re- member, the male bird is 50% of your breeding pen. "I wish now," said the lecturer, "to tax your memory." A wail in the audience: "Has it come to that?"

In one of the cemeteries near Paris a small lamp was kept burning under an urn over a grave, and an inscrip- tion on the gravestone ran thus, when translated into English: "Here lies Pierre Victor Fournier, inventor of the Everlasting Lamp, which consumes only one centime's worth of oil in one hour.

SAVED BABY'S LIFE Mrs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St. Michel des Saints, Que., writes:— "Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent medicine. They saved my baby's life and I can highly recommend them to all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemontagne's experience is that of thousands of other mothers who have tested the worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are a sure and safe medicine for little one and never fail to regu- late the bowels and stomach, thus re- lieving all the minor ills from which children suffer.

Little Thomas' mother was an in- valid, and so his aunt looked after hls religions instruction, and let no occa- sion pass to enforce some precept. One day, Thomas suddenly said: "Oh, dear, I wish I had wings." This angelic aspiration was regard- ed with great joy by the two sisters, and they eagerly asked why he wished for wings. "Oh," said Tommy, "I'd Ily up into the air, and take Aunt Susan with me" —Aunt Susan was delighted—"and when I couldn't go any higher—I'd let her drop!" Collapse of Aunt Susan.
