They are given here as variations of one another, not because they have come From the same source, but from the same kind of source. This source is Anglo-Saxon place names. This does not by any means establish the first bearers of the sur- names as of Anglo-Saxon blood, how- ever. They might have been and un- doubtedly were in many cases Nor. Mans. But it was back in the Anglo-Saxon period that the place names were formed around the old word "tun," evhich hes given us our modern word "town." To the Anglo-Saxons this word meant primarily an inclosed place, which, of course, most of their teltssWere. Thus if the locality were noted for a clay soil, the "tun" became known as Clayton and grew into a town of that name. Newton would signify an inclosure recently built (re- cent in the view of those who named it). Leighton and the modern simpli- fication, Layton, would be an inelosure on a "leigh" or "ley," that is, meadow Iand. And Hilton would designate such an inclosure on a hillside or hill- top. Such names became family names as a rule when former residents set- tled in other communities. TUMULTY. Variations—Tomalty, Talty. Racial Origin—Irish. , Source—A given name. At just what period this Irish clan came into being is not quite clear. The clan name, however, is traceable back to a period prior to that in which the majority of English family names or- iginated. As nearly as the Irish spelling of the name can be rendered with the Eng- lish alphabet, it is "O'Tombailtaigh." The spelling is formidable, but the pro- nunciation is not, the native Gael pro - flouncing it just about the way we pro- nounce the variations Tumulty and Tomalty, with the clan -signifying "0" before it. This "0" in Irish names, however, is but the modern development of the more ancient forms "Hua" and "Hui," sometimes rendered. in English as "Ua" and "Hy." One is singular and the other plural _in this sense; the former is used when speaking of a single person who is a member of the clan, the latter when the speaker is referring to several members or ,to the clan as a whole. The Irish clan names all are taken from the given names of the chieftains who founded. them. In this case the given name was "Tomhailt," with a meaning of "the waster" or "the gen- erous one." -- Animals That Advertise. Everywhere one goes in the coun- try signs may be seen which indicate that creatures of the wild know the value of advertising just as much as do human beings. Often this advertising may be just a dad '• • on the part of the insect or animal 'to veld the attentions of an- other creature who has designs upon him as a delectable dinner morsel. This peculiarity of Nature is notice- able in regard to the butterfly, which is an'ingenious little publicity mer- chant. Certain kinds of butterflies have noxious qualties which are not to the liking of birds, but there are .other species which are just the re- verse. The latter consequently as- sume the colorings of the former, and so, by advertising their undesirability -as food, manage to preserve their lives. The same tactics are adopted by beetles, but it is from bird and animal life that we get the best examples. Certain kinds of snipe, for instance, -' eta up a peculiar shriek as soon as tis catch sight of a shooting -party, and this is kept up until they have advertised far and wide that the gun - 1 ners are on the look out. Sheep's Secret Signals. Wild sheep, also, are clever in this respect. Thery need only to see one of their number at attention, with head up and ears pricked forward, to be- come suspicious and ready for flight. Again, when deer register the pre- sence of a foe, they send a signal to every member of the band to be cau- tious. - The wild bellow of the lion is often uttered not because he is angered and ready to fight. He knows that to keep away his foes he has but to remind them of his power, and he does so by proclaiming his strength far and wide. With just the same object does the rattlesnake shake his castanets., The sound of them reaches the ears of his foes, and, awed with the dreadful warning of the snake's latent power, they rapidly disappear. But it is at the mating- season in the CORN Lift Off -No Pain! Doesn't hurt one bit!

Love goes the way that Hope takes, And meets the golden dawn,, And.ohl the picture Hope paints Aro sweet to leek upon. wild that the full power of publicity is brought to bear. There 1s. a general flaunting of color and parade of strength, with the object of proving to a possible mate how much more desirable than his rival each one is. This competition for favor is par- ticularly outstanding in bird life, and the display of colors and ornaments to catch the female eye is carried to per- fection. The great peacock, while conscious of his beauty, at the same time is aware that his rival may be just as beautiful, and to oust him from favor he tidies , himself up arid, .as it were, puts on his, Sunday best. The Alligator's Courtship. Birds of Paradise wave their won- derful silky plumes, and the humming- bird with great skill flashes his gems among the flowers, making a perfect color scheme. Other birds, less fortunate in the matter of oolor, find the power of song a great factor in gaining favor; so these songsters chant their sweetest melodies or chirrup and whistle as best they can. Even the lumbering alligator knows how to advertise, and in searching for a bride does his best to stage a fight so that the lady of his choice may see him conte fojth the victor! The same applies to lions and tigers and even the monkey, so if you see any of those fellows vainly strutting about at the Zoo, don't laugh. They know what they are doing! 0 Ahl Love is wise and gracious, Or folks would never know The tinkling lilt of laughter In Dawn's young ruddy 'glow. • Lereine Ballantyne. T.11F CHEERFUL WOMAN GREEN TEA IN GREAT DEMAND. Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and demanded them in ever increasing quantities. Salads Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green Teas in Canada. Is One Who Has the Rich, Red Blood of Good Health. The fact that one woman is bright- eyed, rosy-eheeked, strong and cheer- ful, while another is pale, weak and depressed is due more often than other- wise to the condition of the blood. The way to remedy this ,depressed state is to build up the blood, and for this purpose there is `no other tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A case in point. is that of Mrs. Melvin Abra, Graveley Street, Vancouver, B.C., who says:—"About two years ago was a very sick woman. I seemed to be wasting away and getting thinner all the time. 1 grew so weak that the doctor sent me to the hospital, but the treatment there did not help me and I returned home. Then I tried a num- ber of tonics with no better results. At this stage my another came to me, and as she is a firm believer In Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, she started me on this medicine. I can only say that they did wonders for me. I began to get new health and strength after I had taken a few boxes, and day by day this improvement continued until I was again well and able to do all my housework, and I have not had a sick day since. I cannot recommend your pills too highly and urge those who are looking for health and happiness to give them a trial." You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Rest. To get the most out of a vacation one should have a rest as well as a change• of scene and recreation. Ex- cessive physical fatigue whether from work or play is dangerous. Fatigue means a tired heart and weakened di- gestive organs, and it lowers resist- ance to infection of any sort. Many a vacation has been spoiled by unusual fatigue, with over eating, and many a vacationist . returns home suffering from an infection which would- never have occurred had his natural powers of resistance not been lowered by gen- eral bodily fatigue. Begin new forms of work or play moderately. Moderation in physical exertion for the first few days of a vacation will make a great difference in the actual results of the vacation. •It will also make •a vacation far more beneficial in its results if the daily programme be arranged so as to pro- vide a period of complete relaxation and rest, if not a nap, after the noon- day meal or befora the evening meal.

Squirrels gather 'em, possoms came to eat the perslecons and grow fat as butter. Truly this is, as the hymn says, a land of corn and wine --which es jest a name for all God's plenty." The young couple gazed round them with opened eyes, "Me a-runnin' on, and you askin' the nighest way out!" said the old lady, laughing deprecatingly. "But when I get started on the country, why I just forget. The Lord made a. sight of pret- ty things for travelers to see If they got eyes to see 'em with. You follow the main tracks like you're dein.' and you'll soon come out on the highway," They called cheery good-bys and waved back at the odd little figure in the purple calico. For a time the two were silent; then the young wife spoke softly to her husband. "See, dear, right Ahead of us are a whole family of squirrels in that hollow limb. I counted four, and there comes another with a nut in her mouth!" "I see; and over Yonder in that thicket there's a covey of quail,". "And there right overhead is a vine just loaded with grapes! Stop the car and let's pick some. There really are so many things to see in these woods if,"—she looked into her hus- band's face, and he nodded, under- standingly,—"if we have seeing eyes!" Vagabondia. 0-I am done with golden shoes, With Min, silk and shining gear. What is this tinsel show to lose An' I take a road far, far from here! Seeing Eyes. The automobile plowed through the deep sand of a piney woods road. There was not a house in sight, not a sound except the impatient and dis- gusted exclamations of the pair in the car, a young couple from the city. "Miles and miles and not even a cabin! I don't wonder nobody lives in such a forsaken country," grumbled the young man at the wheel, and his wife emphatically declared that she didn't blame folks for not living where there was nothing except pines and sand• Just then the breeze that stirred the boughs bore to their ears a song, jubi- lant and glad: "I've reached the land of corn and wine, With all its treasures surely mine; I've reached that beauteous shining shore— My heaven, my home, forever more!" The car slowed down and, drawing to one side, stopped to allow a small covered cart to come slowly up' over the narrow road. An old woman in a purple calico dress, with a big black sunbonnet falling back on her neck, sat in a chair and drove the pony. "In trouble? inquired the old wo- man sympathetically. "The sand's so deep I reckon you're stuck. I'll drive on and send a neighbor to pull you out." "No, not stuck, just waiting to ask if you could show us some nearer way out to the main road," said the young man. "Now ain't that a nice way to travel, though!" exclaimed the woman, "gild - in' along smooth as grease and seein' everything!" "But this country" --began the young woman impetuously, "this country is so—so—" "Ain't it?" replied the stranger, beaming upon them. "For them with seein' eyes there's no prettier country to be found! This time of yerr es- pecially when the woods are fair groanin' under the bounty of the Lord.

CQILDIIODD INDIGESTION Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing is more dangerous to proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or .more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigestion. There is no medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tablets in relieving this trouble. They have proved of benefit in thousands of homes. Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: "My baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, but the Tablets soon set her right, and now I would not be without them." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. League Protects Children.

The Greenland whale fishery, so far as this•"country is concerned, is almost non-existent. The harpoon -gun was too deadly, and the "right" whale of the Arctic appeared likely to become as extinct as the dodo. Then news was circulated that the ocean around the Falkland islands in the south Atlantic was "alive" with whales, and, just as gold -seekers rush off to any new field where gold is re- ported, so the whaling fleets all turned south. To -day the whale fishery around these islands is more profitable than all the other fisheries of the world put together. No time is wasted returning to port with a "catch." Floating factories have been established where the blub- ber can be treated, and so valuable is this that the rest of the whale's car- case is often sent adrift, a waste of tons of valuable material. During one year a score of whaling boats operating from South Georgia killed five thousand whales, the oil from which filled 200,000 barrels. Six barrels represent a ton, and as whale oil sells at from $50 to $125 per ton, the catch of this fleet was worth $2,- 500,000...
