It originated as a surname. 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.

would rather be the daddy
Of a romping, laughing crew,
Of a bright-eyed chubby laddie,
And. a little girl or two,
Than the monarch of a nation,
In a high and lofty seat,
Taking empty adoration
From the Aubjeets at his feet.
I would rather own their kisses
Asnat night to me they run,
Than to be the king who misses
All the simpler forms of fun,
When his dreary day is endieg,
He is dismally alone,
But when my sun is descending,
There are joys for me to own.
Ake ,He inay ride to horns and drumming,
I must walk a quiet street,
But when once they see me coming,
Then on joyous flying feet
They eome racing to me madly,
And I catch them with a swing,
And. I say it proudly, gladly,
That I'm happier than a king.
"Roghan," which, liberally translated,
means "the chosen one." 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

Liquid Light.
"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?"
Ask for Minarcas and take no other.

The Everlasting Lamp.
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

SAVED BABY'S LIFE
Mrs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St.

"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. They are sold by

Short -Lived Joy.
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!"
