Ants With or Without Wings. Mr. Vincent, seated on the verandah of his summer home peeling willow wands to make a towel rack noticedsa sturdy black ant running straight across the verandah. He tried. to turn it back with the t'Oe of his boot, but the little creature 'quickly made its Way round. Then Mr. Vincent, using the wand in his hand, turned. the ant und several times, but he could - no defea,ti So it is, I fear, with men dad wamen, boya apse .girts.

It's a great thing to have determination!" He Forgot the Combination. A colored ma,n was driving along the road in a ramshackle buggy drawn bet a bony, spavined old horse, when a .stranger hailed him: "Hello! uncle! Can you get me to the station in time for the text train?" "No, suh; I don't believe I kin, suh. This is a broken -clown or ca,valry hawse. You can't git him often a walk nohow." "Huh! You say he' e an old cavalry horse? Let me drive him." • The man clambered upon the seat and took the reins. "IViake ready!" he called out sharply. "Cha,rgel" The old -horse pricked up his ears and broke into a gallop. As they reablied the station the man shouted, "Halt!" The horse obeyed. The man flipped old John a quarter. The next day two young men stop- pedJohn and asked him to take them to the station as quickly as, possible. "Suttinly, genTmen," said John. "Git right in." He gathered up the reins and shouted: "Make ready!e Charge!" The home broke into a gal- lop and soon reached the station. " -"Gist ready to jumy, genTmen," John looking frightened, shouted to his fares. "I've done forgot de word what stops him." THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS A.hnost Always Due to Weak and Impoverished Blood. Apart from 'accident or illness due to infection, alMost all ill -health arises from one or two reasona. The mistake ro neither confuse it nor deter it.

When he was ready to give up try- ing to turn the ant back hit son .Allen came along and took up the task. Fail- ing in every other way, Allen placed, a piece of board in the ant's path. When the ant. mounted the board to walk over it the boy carried it back to the starting place. But immediately the ant began its journey again. When it was halfway across the verandah the boy brought it back a second time, but the determined little trial.

Varlations—Alexander, Sanders, San- derson, Saunders, Saunderson. Racial OrIgin---Elcottish and English. Source—A „given name. The family name of MacAlaster probably would remain macli of a mystery were it not that this clan name of Scotland is traceable directly back through the centuries to a son of Angus Mo, who' was Lard of the Isles in the year 1284, which son, it is a mat- ter of record, bore the name of Alaster as a variation of Alexander. Yet, taken in this connection in view of the variations of the Christian name Alexander, whicb existed about this period in England and the Scot- tish lowlands, the variation became more understandable. The name, of course, is Greek In, origin, but it was taken by the medie- val reeiclents of England and Scotland from the Bible, and they spelled it as they pronounced it rather than as it was spelled in the Latin. They spell- ed it "Alisatinder," or "Allessaundre." If you just slicie aver the third syllable or drop it out, you'll shorten the nae into something like "Alis -der," which isn't far from "Alaster." The abbreviation of this name into "Alec" is not found in any of the me- dieval records. Instead,*at that time, the tendency was to shorten it into "Saunder" or "Sander." Indeed we have the Scottish form of "Sandy" to- day. MacAlaster, of course, means "Alas- ter's descendants," and Sanders and Saunders are simply shortened forms of "Sander's -son" and "Saunders -son." It is not likely that such a name as "Alexander's -son" could have lasted in uncorrupted form long enough to re- main as Alexander when the "son" finally was dropped. It probably is a change back to original spelling at a still later period. reason for almost every ailment. If you are pale, suffering from headaches, or breathlessness, with palpitation of the heart, poor appetite and weak di- gestion, the cause is almost always' poor blood. If you have nervous head- aches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is exhausted nerves. But run down nerves are. also a result of poor blood, so that the two chief causes of illness are one and the same. If your health is poor; if you are pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair spite of all opposition. Finally the boy sat down, and the ant reached the other side of the verandah and vanish- ed over the edge. "Well, Allen," said Mr. Vincent, "if we men had such perseverance, there that will speedily follow. are few things we could not achieve! If your dealer does not keep these The Bible sends the lazy man to the ent to learn industry; this morning we may learn perseverance from the ant." -"But it's not true of all. ants," Allen replied. "I tried the same game on a winged ant, and I turned it aside easily." "And what a parable that is!" ex- claimed Mr. Vincent.

Housekeeping accountancy was a flee art, practiced by royal personages in the sixteenth century, according to a big book auctioned a in Landon this week. The imperial folio account book was one kept by Queen Elizabeth when she was still' a princess, eighteen years old, and shows the household expenses of her residence at Hatfield for the year 1551-1552. The volume has twenty-six vellum pages and the covers are decorated with illuminated lettering and scroll work, with five pen and ink -emblem- atic drawings among the entries. Each account is signed "Elizabeth," the sig- nature being graceful, one with fine flourishes around it and countersigned ' by Sir Walter Buckler, then her cham- berlain. It is shown that Elizabeth spent nearly 24,090 that year, quite a re- • spectable amount, when it is consider- ed that a pound in those days was worth at least four times as much as It is to -day, Although "the good Queen Bess" is supposed to have had a great lcive for literature and a passion for dress, these "accompts" do not give much indication of it. - i In the period covered by the ledger she seems to have made only two pur- chasee of books and items of 218 for "certain stuff _for her grace's person' and 12 pence "for making paper up- per bodies for her grace," which does not seem very extravagant. She g,a,Ve nearly E,8 in "allmes to dyverse peor men and women at sondrie times," and was careful to record all tips, one of the entries reading, "13s. 4d. for my ladle of Arrundell's servant." Elizabeth seems to haVe spent quite a lot on music one entry reading "30 shillings to -farmor that played on flue," and another, "for More, the harp- er, 30 shillings"—such entries being of frequent occurrence.

Racial English. - Source—A woman's name. , It would seem that women, after all, did amount to something in the mid- dle ages; and thcaigh, perhaps, they did not have the privilege of the vote, hundreds upon hundreds of them were prominent enough in their OWn eone munities to do what not even the suf- fragists of to -day are elaiming as a privilege. They bequeathed their own names to their descendants, Perhaps it would be more accurate, however, to :my that the communities in which they lived did BO, for family names • were a growth of custom through many generations rather than the definitely adopted appellations of fanailles. There are •literally dozens of famllY names common in America to -day which trace back to the given names of women in those days following the Norman conquest, when wars on tbe continent 'wrested from the Norman - English monarchs and. their nobility their holdings in Normandy and left them no alternative but to call them. selves Englishmen. Illea,nor, or, as it was more common- ly spelled, Alianora, was a. popular name for girls among the Normans, In the course of the 'centuries succeeding the conquest it became TarioUslY An- nora, Annot. Alinot (Norman diminu- tives), Ellen, Leonora, Lina, Linot and Nel (diminutive resulting from the Anglo-Saxon influence). Nelson simply means "the son of Nel." The, earliest records of the name occur in this fastden as Fitz-Nel and "ill, Nel." "Fitz" was the Norman method of expressing 'son of," and "fil" was the abbreviation of the Latin "Anus," meaning son, commonly used by the clerks of that day. Neal and Neilson are variations, as ls Nene, which has no connection with the Cel- tic names of O'Neil and MacNeill. muttons, -mats, hogs-heddee of here, and Raynishe wine." Thirty dozen "candelles" cost the princess 45 shillings, and she paid to "John Brydges for seafish 15 shill- ings; to a poor woman that brought six chickens and two capons, 5 shill- ings; to him that made her grace a table of walnut tree, 44 shillin,gs; for Bible, 20 shillings." A Watch for Time Study. Modern efficiency methods as ap- plied in factories and shops often make .it necessary to study the time required for different operations in the manufacture of certain products. For this work it is absolutely necessary to have a stop watch. The conventioual stop watch, however, leaves much to be desired, for the reason that, while It gives the time elapsed for a certain operation, it is necessary to indulge in a considerable calculation for deter- mining the output per hour or day. Now a time study watch has been evolved for the purpose of eliminating all computation and making it pos- sible for an observer -to read from the dial the quantity desired. The cir- cumference of the dial of the watch is divided into 100 parts, as in the well known decimal dial, but instead of these divisions being numbered in the ordinary manner they are marked with figures which indicate the num- ber of operations per hour, when the time of a single operation is repre- sented by the elapsed time. In the instance of very short operations ten operations instead of one can be timed. CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION Constipated children can find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own. Tablets.

Only a small space is required to keep a few hens in which would sup- ply table eggs all the year. But: someone says, "I have no one to look after them and I am not able my- self." This obstacle has been over- come in many families where there are no boys or girls. I was mucli in- terested in the poultry displays at the school fairs this Fall, and I had the pleasure of visiting quite a number. One small town in particular(of one thousand inhabitants) had an exhibit of close on two hundred fowl, all col- ors and stages of grdwth. The prizes were well deserved where they were awarded and were in the form of a setting of eggs in Spring, from pure- bred stock, thus encouraging the youthful fancier. We are all aware of the vim a youth will pat into any- thing interested in; anti boys and girls in many cases have made a de- cided success in the poultry, taken in as partners with their parents. The following interesting items, by courtesy of The Reliable Poultry Jour- nal, will show what two juniors did, both under 14 years of age. .Lt tlae time of writing, these children had finished their 3rd year in the business. Paul and Aileen Warner started poul- try -keeping on a three -quarter -acre town lot, with 20 White Leghorns, 120 Bared Rocks and 20 Rhode Island Reds. All were goat' standard breed- ing, as shown by the fact that they took 31 first and 13 second prizes at various shows. A great many adults would be proud of such a record, both in prizes won arid net profits made by these young poultry keepers.
