REO ROSE ORANGE PEKOE
Surnames and Their Origin
GUNNING.`
Variation—O'Gunning.
Racial Origin -Irish.
Source—A given name.
Here is a family name which in
many instances comes from Anglo-
Saxon sources, It is,' however, often
of Irish development, being merely the
Anglicized form of the clan name of
O'Conafng.
In point of age, this family or clan
name shares honors with that of
O'Day, or, to use the Gaelic form,
"O'Deadhaichid," tracing directly back
io the period when Brian Boru reign-
ed as High King over Ireland and es-
tablished by edict the system of clan
find family names.
The Q'Gunning clan was probably
founded a few years after that of
O'Day, for its founder,.imlike that of
the O'Days, was not of the same gen-
eration as Brian Bora, being, in fact,
his grand -nephew.
The given name, in this case, hap-
pens to have the same spelling in the
Nominative as in the genitive case.
It is from this latter that the clan
name M formed by the preflxing.of the
"0'," which has the same significance
as the Anglo-Saxon ending "son" and
the Norman-French prefix "fitz."
MAR18
Variation—Marcie.
Racial Origin — Norman.French and
French.
'Source — A locality— Also a given
name,
Here is a family name which may
be accounted for in several ways.
The simplest explanation lies in its
development from a given name which
was fairly popular among the Nor-
man French, that of "Mariese."
But while this undoubtedly accounts
for the name in a great many in-
stances, it does not suffice for all. It
is also traceable to the name of a lo-
cality in Normandy, known as "le
Marais."
In the first instance the early form
of the name is found as Fitzmariess"
or "Fitzmaris" (which undoubtedly
also has developed in some' instances
into Fitzmorris), the "fitz" being the
Norman development of the Latin
"'flues," meaning "son."
In the latter. the early form is found
as "de le Mamie."
But it is also a matter of record
that, in some instances, the family
name was brought into England after
it had already become a family name in
France, in the form of "Mares."
A SPLENDID LAXATIVE
FOR TIIE BABY
Mothers should constantly be on
guard to keep baby's bowels working
freely anti, his stomach sweet, for
uine-tenths 'of the ailments from
which little ones suffer are caused by
derangements of the stomach and
bowels. Baby's Own Tablets are a
splendid laxative for the baby. , They
•his„are mild but thorough; contain neith.-
` er opiates nor narcotics, and are ab-
solutely guaranteed to be safe and
efficient for either the newborn babe
or the growing child. By their action
on the bowels and stomach they drive
out constipation and indigestion;
break up colds and simple fevers and
make the dreaded teething period
easy. The Tablets are sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a
box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
A Basque Heart and Soul.
From the little town near the Span-
ish frontier to the mountain village is
not more than thirty kilometers, but
the motor diligence that runs between
them takes a whole day for the trip—
which is not astonishing, if you con-
sider what an accommodating fellow
the driver is. To please a passenger,
says the London Times, he will pull
up at what he thinks is the finest point
of view so that a photograph may be
taken, and he is flattered when the
camera is turned on him and his dili-
gence.
He is a Basque heart and soul and
grows eloquent about the scenery, so
wild, so solemn on the mountain
heights, so smiling and intimate. in
the valleys. The gardens are Tull of
flowers, fruit and vegetables; the
meadows yield three crops of hay in
the season.
You may learn if you will who lives
in the bleaming White houses with the
brown beams and old stone name
plates, for driver and fishwives are
willing to talk. They will tell you
that the Basque country is the most
beautiful corner of all France; that
life is easy for everyone there; that
there is no poverty at all, and that the
workman lives as comfortably as the
man of leisure; that the Basques have
large families, and their sons and
daughters emigrate, though only to
earn money and bring it back to their
own village, where they spend it on
the land they love. When the people
are tired of talking they sing. old
Basque folk songs with a lively lilt in
every air. The mountains are folded
in a purple robe; the evening star
conies out, and from the shore, as the
diligence nears the town, comes the
long swish of the. Atlantic breakers.
The moon appears.

Kissing Placed Under Ban
by Tokio Police,
"Kissing is an unclean habit, the in-
troduction and encouragement of
which is not desirable by the Japan-
ese," the Chief of the 1VI•etropolitan
Police of Tokio said to -day in explain-
ing why a bamboo screen was erected
around a bronze reproduction cif'Rod-
in's "The Kiss." The work was one of
several French masterpieces banned
from public eight by the police censor.
When the art exhibit loaned to
Japan by the French Academy of Art
opened yesterday those attending were
astonished to find Rodin's "The Kiss"
covered up.
A representative of the French Em-
bassy called at the Foreign, Office to
learn the reason for the ban on
bronzes and canvases whici1 were -the
pride of France. He was referred to
the police, who gave the above ` ex-
planation.

Is a Bountiful Supply of Rich
Health -Giving - Blood.
Sufferers from What Medical men
speak of as nervous debility find them-
selves tired, morose, low-spirited and
unable to keep their minds on any-
thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a
blow. They are full of groundless
fears and cannot sleep at night. Their
hands tremble, the legs feel as if they
will give away following a walk or
any exertion; and the mind is greatly
disturbed by the most trivial incidents.
Doctoring the nerves with poison-
ous sedatives is a terrible mistake.
The only real nerve tonic is a geed
supply of rich, red blood. To secure
this new, rich blood use Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills which have a direct action
on the blood and throughit stimulate
every nerve and organ in the body.
Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Fenwick, Ont.,
gives her experience with this medi-
cine as follows:—"I had a nervous
breakdown and was in the Welland
County Hospital for some time. As I
was not improving my husband took
me out and took me up to my moth-
er's. I doctored there but it did not
help me. Then I returned home, and
was again under a doctor's care, but
with no better results. I would trem-
ble and get numb all over, and the
least noise would affect me. I was
quite unable to do my housework and
was in a terrible condition. Finally I
was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and am thankful that I did so,
as after taking about a dozen boxes I
was again a healthy woman. I have
ased the pills since while nursing my
baby, with equally good results, and
I strongly advise other ailing women
to try them."
You 'eau get .these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50
cents a box from. The Dr. Williams'

A Facer!
Isere is a story of the Loudon tube,
told in the Tatler. A certain man who
had never considered himself as- hand-
some liked to think .nevertheless that
th•e lofty expression of his face more
than compensated for any deficiency
in beauty. Accordingly, going home in
the eube one evening, he was much
gratified to see a man on the seat op-
posite •him produce a notebook and
start ,sketching his face.
He leaned across to the sketcher
and said genially, "I see you are an
artist, sir:"
The other smiled. "Oh, in a Bumble
sort of way," be replied. "I design
these grotesque door knockers."
#-tis Foolish Things.
"Yes," said Boggs unthinkingly, "'I
can remember events- of long ago as
if they happened but yesterday, When
I think of my boyhood days ---of nny
escapades at school—of many of my
youthful and later actions, and how
I got': married—I can't help smiling
and thinking how many foolish things
I've done."
And Boggs wondered why his wife
treated hirer coolly after the visitors
had gone.
Useful invention.
A number of ,men were engaged. in a
discussion as to who was the greatest
inventor. Some said Edison, some.
said Marconi, and some said Morse.

vot invented interest vas no fool."

With cringing mien and sycophantic

And count them rather honored guests

But you—fool toadstool in my mush-

Are

said,
While you are here my virtues count
for naught;
While you are here useless the good
I've wrought;
While you are here my striving is in
vain.
To raise the courage that can smile
through pain;
While you are here contempt must be

Even from friends if they should

Until your loathsome presence I es-
chew
I am in sore disgrace --outside with

GREEN TEA IMPORTS
LARGER.
Statistics from Ottawa show that in
1923, 553,977 pounds more Green Tea
were brought into Canada than in
1921, and 906,728 pounds more than in
1922. The reason given is that the
fine quality Green Teas of India and
Ceylon have displaced the inferior
Japan and China Greens which, due to
their low price, were imported heavily
some years ago. Salado Tea Company
is the largest importer of India and
Ceylon Green Teas.

The Star Twinkles.
There is a bit of tragedy as well as
comedy in the story that in the Tapes-
try of Life Mr. Raymond Blethwa.y tells
of a young man who after years of
poverty and misery finally emerged as
a poet of the highest order. A certain
literary duchess who had bean greatly
fascinated by the charm and beauty
of his verse gave an afternoon tea in
his honor.
Poor fellow, be sat in speechless
agony, surrounded by his admirers,
well realizing that as the star of the
occasion he was expected to twinkle
at least once daring the afternoon. At
last an inspiration came to him. He
started to speak; and dead silence fell
upon the room. This is what he said:
"Have you n -noticed, d -d -duchess,
that this year's pawn tickets are all
pink?"
Mystery in Chinese Gongs.
The manufacture by the ancient
Chinese of gongs and tom-toms, with

mystery to the outside world, although
their cluemical composition has been
determined.
ORNS
Lift Off -No Pain!
Even Then a Soldier.
An Italian omced who won distinc-
tion in the Great War was in his boy-
hood the hero of an amusing incident.
His chief fault then was that he would
interrupt any one if he had anything
he wanted to say himself. Our mother,
writes Miss Lie' Cipriani in A Tuscan
Childhood, repeatedly Bald to him:
"Ritchie, you must never interrupt
me when I are talking. Wait till I
have finished and then say, 'At your
convenience, mama, I have something
to tell you.' Take time; learn to be
polite "
One day toward the end of the sea-
son my mother had taken Ritchie and
me to the baths at Leghorn. The
baths are built in piers and rotundas
into the sea, and bridges connect the
piers. Before the autumn* storms be-
gin the boards are taken away, so that
only two long wooden beams and the
railings remain.
I had crossed one of the bridges at
a considerable distance from where
my mother and some friends were sit-
ting in a group and was watching a
roan who was fishing. Just as I left
hint and was about to cross the bridge
on the beam be called to me that he
had hooked a fish. I waited till the
fish was safely landed and then start-
ed to cross. But so interested was I
that I forgot that the boards had been
taken away and, walking on as usual,
fell into the sea.
Ritchie, who had been standing by
me, rapidly crossed the bridge and
ran to my mother. Taking off his cap,
he stood politely beside her for some
time, waiting till she had finished a
rather' long story that she was just
telling. Then he said:
"Mania, at your convenience, I have
something to tell you."
"What is it?" inquired my mother
approvingly.
"Mama, at your convenience, List
has fallen into the water."
"What!" cried my mother, jumping
up. "Has any one pulled her out?"
"I don't know," Ritchie replied calm-
ly and politely, "but I did not inter-
rupt your story ----and she can swim!!'
Nasty Nicknames.
t`I hope they don't give my Iittle boy
any nasty nicknames in school?"
"Yes, mother; they call me Corns."
"How dreadful! And why do they
call at
" 'CauseyouthT'm?" always at the foot of
tlie class."
