Surnames and Their Origin KENNEDY Variations—Kinitty, Klnnity, O'Ken- nedy. lender Origin --Irish. Source --A nickname. For the most part, the Irish clan names, 'Which were virtually family Names, and have become so absolutely In modern usage, were farmed strictly from given names, from the names of those chieftains who first gathered about them a sufficient number of fol- lowers to be designated as a clan. But sometimes these chieftains received nicknames, descriptive of some trait or honor achieved, and it was the nick- name which beoame the clan name. This is the case of the Kennedy clan. The gaelic designation of this clan is "O'Ceannatta, and with the excep- tion of the last syllable, which has na- turally become slurred a bit in the Angdicized form of the name, its pro- nunciation was precisely that of 0'- Kenne `Y. Th nder .of the clan was a chief- tain nanA "Fergus" and surnamed "Ceannfada," or "long -head" (in the sense of being far-sighted), who flour- ished about the time of St. Patrick, Thus this clan or family name is about as old as. Christianity in Ireland, and antedates the Christianization of An- glo-Saxon England, which was several centuries to the Norman invasion of that country, with the subsequent for- mation of English family names, KEATS Variations—Keet, Ketts. Racial Origin—English. Source—Personal characteristic. By no means have all family names developed from occupations, places of residence or given sanies of parents. Probably as large a class as any, in English nomenclature at palest, devel- oped trona nicknames descriptive, or allegedly descriptive, of personal pe- culiarities. Suck names were given to men In medieval times in exactly the same manner that a small boy Is given a nickname to -day by his companions: The difference lies only in the fact that the need for the nickname or des- criptive surname was greater in those days than to -day. In this manner such names as Brown and Black have de- veloped, just as boys to -day acquire such names as Reddy or Skinny, The modern boy lives them down eventual- ly, for he has a family name which better serves the purpose of a sur- name when he grown up. But in medieval tinges the nicknames were turned into family names, for popula- tions were growing so fast that a given name was not enough to distinguish a man from all of his fellows. Names in this group were taken from the word "kete," which since has become -obsolete. 'It meant "fierce" or "bold." ARCTIC GUARD TO SAVE MUSK OX /.DVERNMENT SENDS AN EXPEDITION. To Establish Police Offices Within 800 Miles of the North Pole. In carrying out the task of estab- lishing the sovereignty of the British crown in the Arctic islands which form the northernmost part of the Do- minion of Canada, and which in size are equal to the combined territory of Saskatchewan and Alberta, the North- west -Territories Branch of the Cana- dian Department of the Interior sent the government steamer, the Arctic, last autumn, to within 800 miles of the North Pole to •establish permanent police posts and policeo83ces. These expeditions, which culminated during 1923 in the establishment of a police post at Cape Sabine, on the eastern coast of Ellesmere Island, have been used also for the purpose of conducting examinations of t'he coun- 'Itry by competent scientists and en- gineers, At the present time Major Burweslg is carrying out an examination into the natural resources of Baffin Land and the islands immediately to the west. He will continue this investi- gation until next autumn, when the Arctic will pick him ',up at Cumber- ' land Sound on theeast coast of .Baffin Land and bring him back to civiliza- • tion. - In order to expedite the opening up -this country ,a second vessel, the Franklin, will be taken over by the department, and will make its first voyage this s,umrner. Three Posts Established. The 'three posts which have been es- tablished are at Cumberland Sound Arid Ponds Inlet, on Baffin Island, and at Cape Sabine, far to the north : on Ellessniere Island. The necessity for the establishment of the post on Ellesmere Island was ' made manifest by the rapid depletion of the nlusmk' ox herds which have their habitat there. ' It became known that the government regulations under which a musk ox cannot be killed ex- cept in the face of starvation were be - lug flouted gnoesiy by lest; fmos .from t' reeeuland and etlrmur foreigners who could cross the narrow channel— Smith Sound and Kennedy Channel— in the winter months, kill the husk oxen and return with the pelts to their native country. Incidentally, Green- land has far outstripped the northern Canadian islands in the exportation of furs. Police to Enforce Rules, The government decided that it was time to acquaint the Greenlanders with the fact that Canada is a country with a rigid customs barrier, and if they desire to take Canadian furs back with them they must meet the re- quirements of the law, Hence the es- tablishment of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police post at Cape Sabine. Inspector Wilcox and six other ranks are stationed there. This summer the department hopes to establish more poste on some of the islands further to the west. Bathurst Island has been marked but as one of the islands best suited for the purpose because of its central position. Have You Heard?

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 giver is that the. fine quality Greek Teas of India and Gee -- Ion have displaced the inferior Japan: and China Greens which, due to their low price, were, imported heavily some years ago. Salada Tea. Company is the largest importer of India and Cey- lon Green Teas. Stockings which are too long or too tight can do as much harm as badly:. fitting shoes. Pride.

Why doI hunt for a rattle or s-iueak, In a most inaccessible spot? Why am I willing to work for.•a week, When the weather is terribly hot? It's not that I love all the grease and the grime; That's something I cannot abide; Moreover, the job takes a lot of my time. It's merely a matter of pride, A man may be known by the car he wile keep— The way that he keeps it, I mean; Perhaps it is one so remarkably cheap, Or else an expensive machine. It isn't the money expended that eonntsy It isn't the price that's the guide; It's really the care that he gives ---that amounts To the strength of his personal pride. —Harold S. Osborne.

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 blew. They are full of groundless fears and cannot • sleep at night. Their hands tremble, the legs fees as if they will give away following a walk or any exertion, and the mind is greatly dis- turbed by the most trivial incidents. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good 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 through it stimulate every nerve and organ in the body. Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Fenwick, Ont., gives her experience with this medicine as follows: —"I had a nervous breakdown and was in the Welland County Hos- pital for some time. As I was not im- proving nay husband took age out and took me up to my mother's. I doctor- ed there but it did not help me. Then I returned home, and was again under a doctor's care, but with no better re- sults. I would tremble and get numb all over, and the least noise world af- feat me. I was quite unable to do my housework, and was in a terrible con- dition. 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 leave used the pills since while nursing gay baby, with equally good results, and I strongly advise other ailing women to try them." • You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Trinidad i5 believed to be a "mine of treasures." Much of the wealth. of the richest of the South American cities, was conveyed to that island by the sea rovers who plundered the main- land. In a great cavern in the cliffs en the Auckland Islands lies the General Grant, which was wrecked in .1866, with 50,000 ounces of gold on board. It is known that the hulk is still with- in the cave, but expeditions from Aus- tralia and New Zealand have been baffled by tine undertow and the great combers. Somewhere in the East River, U.S.- A., U.S:A., is $2,500,000 in •gold. It has lain there since 1780, when the British fri- gate Huzzar, carrying money for the Royal forces engaged in the American War, struck a rack opposite the upper end of ft.a.ndall Island and sank only a hundred yards from shore Lovers of romance, too, will find food for dreams in the thought that on the mainland of Panama is a great. store of gold hidden by Sir Francis Drake after he had sacked the city of the same name. The treasure was never retrieved, and no one knows where to look for it. He Forgot. Mike and Pat were "gentlemen of the road." It was not often they were luoky enough to secure such satisfac- tory quarters as they had on this par- ticular night, but a kind-hearted gentleman had given them a very cosy bedroom over the stables. When the pair were comfortably lying in bed with the light out Pat sud- denly got up and struck a match. He had a good look around. then blew out the match and lay down again. "Why did you do that?" asked Mike. "Ob," replied Pat, "you see, I forgot whether I blew the candle out or not, so I' just looked to see." High Living.
