ridge a few feet above the level of an
adjoining swamp. These trees aver-
aged 22 years old and were thorn 18 to
18 feet high. They were between
three and four Inches in diameter at
the ground, The interesting feature
of their groth was its rapidity during
tete last few years, Of six saplings
examined, two had grown two Inches

one had grown three lichee in diam-

Curly Hair for Keeping
COOL
Examination of the furs of different
animals shows tbat those with
straight-haired pelts live in tbe north,
lean sections of the world, while (base
with curly, crinkly fur come from the
wartier climates—just as thoee which
bave white hair come from the region
of snow and fee and those with black
or brown hair i%habit the more tem -1
perate climates.
The reason for this is that the fur
of northern animals Is intended to
keep its wearers warm, while the funs-.
Non of the fur of animals which live+
Le. tropical cliniatee is to protect them
from tbe direct rays of the sun, are'
wet acoomplisbed by the mule olid
links of the black or brown far.
The Bair of a human being serves
the same purpose as the fur of the
Pewee' animals. The original home of
the negro being Africa, It was Hetes-
*try that he should have some protec-
tion from tbe heat. This is provided
bs' the twist in his. hair, which makes
en afrepace, after the fashion of a
doable roof, which tempera the rays
pf the sun and serves t0 keep his head

The white, red, and yellow races
are not faced by this necessity for a
heak•resdsting bead covering, and their
Lair is therefore straight and lighter

dinavians and others who inhabit cold-

HOPI RHEUMATISM
CAN BE OVERCOME
Not by Rubbing,l3ut by Enrich-
inti the Blead. •
Rheumatism 1s a disorder of the
blood. It attacks people when the
.bleed la overcharged with acid and Ine-
purities, thus setting up inflammation
In the muscles and joints. Wet weath-
er or cold weather may start the
tortures of rheumatism, but•it is not
the cause. The cause is in the blood.
Victims of this malady have every tea -
son to fear the eget dull ache to the
limbs and joints, followed by sharp
pains through the flesh and muscles;
these are the symptoms of .poison In
the blood, which will shortly leave tete
victim patnracked and helpless. Line-
notate,
inkrents, hot applications and rubbing
may give temporary ease, but cannot'
possibly root the trouble out of the
system. That can only be done by en-
riching the blood. This new blood
drives out the poisonous impurities,
and the rheumatism disappears. 11
. you are a sufferer from this painful
malady, begin the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and see how soon the pains
and stiffness of the joints fade away.
Among those who have benefitted by
the use at these pills is Mr. Freeman
Irving, Baxter harbor, N.S., who says:
"Some time ago my blood , was in a
terrible condition, leaving me very
mach run dawn, and with boils break-
ing out on my body, To add to my
misery rheumatism set in, and. 1 not
only suffered greatly from the pain,
but could only get around with the
greatest difficulty. After trying sev-
eral medicines without much success,
I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial, as they had been warmly
recommended to me. I think I used
nine boxes altogether, but the results
met my every expectation, as both the
boils and the rheumatism disappeared.
Naturally I feel that I cannot praise
the pills too highly."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 500 a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi -
tine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The Care of Leather,..
The propel' drying of twee and,
slioea after they leave become soatiklug
wet leas much to do with thole Mating
qualities. The use al the lu'opot' Itind
of .oil of grease will greatly lnerease
the wear of shoe leather.
When leather 10 wet, 11 Is salt and
therefore rentllly stretches out at
shape, The stitches cut through the
wet leather easily itud'wet soles alae
heels wear away rapidly.
Great care mist be taken in drying
wet to et3 and oboes, for they often
burn before it seams possible; more-
over, if dried too fast, the leather be-
comes hard and the boots shrink out
of shape. To dry a'et bootie properly,
first wash oft all mud or grit witll t'e-
pia water, and, If they are heavy work
boots, oil Or grease them at, once.
Straighten the couneers, toes and up-
pers to the proper shape, and stuff
the toes, with crumpled pap0r, to hold
the boots lu shape while drying. Set
the shoes h1 a place where they will
dry slowly; wet leather burns vary
easily, and if it is placed where it ie
hotter than the hand can bear, it is
almost sure to burn. The shoes' should
not be worn until thoroughly dry.
Before oiling or greasing boots,
brush them well, warm them careful-
ly, apply warm ail or grease, and rub
in with the palm of the hand. Work
the grease well in where the sole
joins the upper and along the edges
of the sole.
Neat's-foot, cod and caster oils and
tallow and wool grease, or mixtures
of them, are the best. Castor oil is
the most satisfactory oil for use on
polished shoes. If applied lightly, the
shoes may be polls -lied at Date, if
necessary, but it is better to wait a
few hours.
A good mixture far waterproofing
leather le: neutral wool grease, 8
ounces; dark petrolatum, 4 ounces;
paaalfln wax, 4 ounces. This adtouid
be heated, thoroughly mixed, and el -
lowed to cool. Before using, it should
be warmed to blood heat. Care must
be taken when warming that It does
not catch ere.

Surnames and Their Origin
CLAY
Variations—Clayer, Claire, Cleyere,
Marier,
Racial Origin—English.
Source—An occupation or locality.
We are inclined to suspect that
names like this are not what they
seem, particularly when we remember
that such a name as Hay has nothing
whatever to do with our word "hay."
In thie ease. however, the suspicion,
proves unfounded, for the family name
i of clay, famous in American history
of statesmanship, is in fact the same
as our word clay.
Clay was to the farmer of the mid-
dle ages in England what nitrates are
to the modern farmer. That is to say,
items most Important as a fertilizer,
and the people who owned clay depos-
its or traded in the commodity were
almost certain to be persons of great
Importance in their communities, not
to say of wealth.
Not all 'oho bear the name, . how-
ever, are necessarily descended from
clay owners or traders, though 1t is
fair to assume tbat the majority are,
for the name was often descriptive of
the locality in which the bearer re-
sided, as well as his occupation. In
one of the old records an "Alice in le
Clay" is referred to. A more usual
form was "de la Cley," Of course the
form "le Cleyere" nearly always re-
presented the occupation,
"Marle" was another name for clay.
It is more common in the term "marl-
ing," which means mixing clay with.
the soil. Hence the family name Mar-
ler, which, however, is not very com•
mon to -day.
CAHiLL
Variations—Lowe, Quick, O'Cah;ll.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
Historical record is the basis for
including Lowe and Quick as varia-
tions of the Irish family name of Ca-
hill, for, strictly speaking, .they are
not the same name at all, though both
Lowe and Quick, when of Irish origin,
are traceable back to the same per-
son.
The Irish• form of the family name
is "O'Oathatl," which, it should be re-
membered, is not pronounced with a
"th" like that in English, but more
like the English spelling which actual-
ly is used in representing it.
The Irish family name is derived
from the given name of "Cathal,"
which means "valor,"
For the most part the "O'CathailsF'
were descendants of or followers of
Cathal, the son of Caner, nicknamed
Conor na Luinge Lualthe," or "Con-
nor
Connor of the Swifter Sailing Ship," .. a
chieftain prominent in ancient Irish
history.
Subsequent to the English conquest
of Ireland the native families in many
sections were compelled by law to
adopt English surnamea. As a rule
they did not pick them at random,
choosing rather an English translation
of the Irfsh family name or an Eng-
lish name which sounded as much as
possible like it,
In this manner some of the O'Ca-
thafls adopted the name of Quick,
from the Irish word of that meaning in
the title of the historical "Conor na
Luinge Luaithe," while others adopt-
ed tete name of Lowe from its simi-
larity in sound to "Luaithe."

$150,000- , which the linglieh Govern-

tune of tree Young Pretender, in 1745,
Si1100 money. MIS' then worth at least
three times its.preseut valeta, the re-
ward (wbich was never claimed) was
as very respectable fortune,
To come down to mere modern
times, the biggest sum in blood -money
offered previous to the Great War was
tbat set on the head of the ex -Shah
of Persia, In 1011.
The ex -Shah organized an army on
a great scale, and swept down from
Astrabad on Teheran. Having but a
paltry two thousand troops with which
to defend themselves, the Persian Par-
liament offered a sum of 082,505 for
the leader of the rebel army either
dead or alive.
Musolino, tba celebrated Italian bri-
gand, comes fourth on tbe list, There
was a sort of grand_ opera flavor about
this gentleman, who for a long time
terrorized a large district of Sicily,
and in his ]elsure time composed bal-
lads' which his followers sang.
The Italian Government, having
made vain attempts to capture him, of-
fered a reward of $6,000 for his body.
Tins cum proving insufficient, the
prize was gradually raised until at last
it amounted to no less than $40,000.
Power Progress in Canada.
While the increase in power de-
velopment in Canada In 1920 was sub-
stantial; in many portions of the Do-
minion new installations and develop-
ment have not yet caught up with the
ever-increasing demand for hydro-
electric energy. •Increase in power
development naturally accompanies
expansion of Industries, The pulp and
paper industry has undoubtedly at-
tracted the greatest attention during
the past year, but a large number of
smaller industries caul the ever-in-
creasing uses of electricity for power
and domestic purposes, both in urban
and rural communities, are important
factors erSAle increasing power de -
mated. Whale the total water -power
installation of the Dominion at the
commencement of 1920 was eomo 2,-
600 000 h.p., the ultimate capacity of
undertakings, either completed during
the year ear or under actual con-
struction,
struction, will increase this total by
some 840,000 h.p. This figure includes
the 600,000 h,p. Chippewa develop.
ment of the Ontario Hydro -Electric
Power Commission. Additional pro-
jects aggregating some 360,000 h.p. are
also under consideration.
The Province of Ontario leads with
some 650,000 h.p. in undertakings,
which are either under construction
or completed; Quebec shows 140,000
h.p.; the Maritime Provinces, 30,000
h.p.; Manitoba, 20,000 hp.
Undertakings which are projected
for the near future aggregate some
200,000 h.p. in Quebec; 16,000 h.p. in
Ontario and 20,000 h.p. in the Meal-
time Provinces, while one project
alone in British Colorable involves
some 125,000 h.p.

given my children. They are easily
taken; always work we11 and though
I have given quite a few to, my baby

Quebec Supplies World With
Asbestos.
.Asbestos lo one of the better known
of Quaid,* ai4l''s'e none -al etallic minerals
It is useful as an insulating material
a01120 enters into the production od
many every -clay tuppl4aouce2. It le 'found
chiefly in the Eastern Tewn41ips
of Quebec, the depeeits them being
time chief source of the world's sup.
ply. .A.sbostoe is a One, flexible fibre,
of silky Appearance, It occurs in tbe
fissures or the serpentine rock, which
in this areae is of a dark green or
brownish color, so badly shattered
that it 'is almost irepoesible to secure
a block of the stone six feet long.
Veins ate asbestos, sometimes front
four to five inches in thickness, are
found with the fibres at right angles
to the walls of veins.
Properly speaking, asbestos is not
mined, but is recovered by the open-
eut method from (marries, similar to
Mono quarrying, The over -burden is
removed by steam,ebovels.
Owing to its . non -conducting pro-
perties and to the fact that it is resis-
tant to common acidic,. asbestos 'has
many atoll varied uses.It is largely
used as insulation for heating plants
and of refrigeration installations,
Asbestos enters largely into the
manufacture of electrical equipment,
each as electric frons, toasters, fuse
boxes, switchboards, etc. Other pur-
poses for which it is used are as wall-
board, sheeting under shingles for fire
prevention, as gas logs in fire -places,
as filaments for kerosene and 'gas
mantels; and as table mats and uten-
sil holders.
Themotor car industry has become
a large consumer of asbestos, for in-
sulation purposes and for brake lin-
ings, ete,
Owing to the facility with which
asbestos fibre can be spun and woven,
considerable use is made of it for
filtering purposes in laboratories. Its
resistance to the Compton acids ren-
ders it of special value for this pur-I
pose.
The production of asbestos in the
province of Quebec in 1920 amounted
to 177,606 bons, of a value of $14,-'
674,372. By far the greater proper -
tion of this is exported, mostly to the
United States.

Mlnard's Liniment Relieves Distemper
New Recorcd for English
Marriages.
The year 1020 broke all recarda for
marrages in this country, says a Lon-
don despatch. For rho three years
preceding the war the anneal average
number of marriages in England and
Wales was only 280,000. In 1920 al-
most 400,000 marriages took place.
Prior to this the 800,000 mark had
been passed only twice. The lest
time was in 1915, when the cry "Single
Men Firat" set the wedding bells
ringing, and in 1919, when marriages

The Soviet Government offered re-
ce1.tly a reward of twenty million
roubles (about 010,000,000) for the cap:

Si1100 money. MIS' then worth at least
three times its.preseut valeta, the re-
ward (wbich was never claimed) was
as very respectable fortune,
To come down to mere modern
times, the biggest sum in blood -money
offered previous to the Great War was
tbat set on the head of the ex -Shah
of Persia, In 1011.
The ex -Shah organized an army on
a great scale, and swept down from
Astrabad on Teheran. Having but a
paltry two thousand troops with which
to defend themselves, the Persian Par-
liament offered a sum of 082,505 for
the leader of the rebel army either
dead or alive.
Musolino, tba celebrated Italian bri-
gand, comes fourth on tbe list, There
was a sort of grand_ opera flavor about
this gentleman, who for a long time
terrorized a large district of Sicily,
and in his ]elsure time composed bal-
lads' which his followers sang.
The Italian Government, having
made vain attempts to capture him, of-
fered a reward of $6,000 for his body.
Tins cum proving insufficient, the
prize was gradually raised until at last
it amounted to no less than $40,000.
Power Progress in Canada.
While the increase in power de-
velopment in Canada In 1920 was sub-
stantial; in many portions of the Do-
minion new installations and develop-
ment have not yet caught up with the
ever-increasing demand for hydro-
electric energy. •Increase in power
development naturally accompanies
expansion of Industries, The pulp and
paper industry has undoubtedly at-
tracted the greatest attention during
the past year, but a large number of
smaller industries caul the ever-in-
creasing uses of electricity for power
and domestic purposes, both in urban
and rural communities, are important
factors erSAle increasing power de -
mated. Whale the total water -power
installation of the Dominion at the
commencement of 1920 was eomo 2,-
600 000 h.p., the ultimate capacity of
undertakings, either completed during
the year ear or under actual con-
struction,
struction, will increase this total by
some 840,000 h.p. This figure includes
the 600,000 h,p. Chippewa develop.
ment of the Ontario Hydro -Electric
Power Commission. Additional pro-
jects aggregating some 360,000 h.p. are
also under consideration.
The Province of Ontario leads with
some 650,000 h.p. in undertakings,
which are either under construction
or completed; Quebec shows 140,000
h.p.; the Maritime Provinces, 30,000
h.p.; Manitoba, 20,000 hp.
Undertakings which are projected
for the near future aggregate some
200,000 h.p. in Quebec; 16,000 h.p. in
Ontario and 20,000 h.p. in the Meal-
time Provinces, while one project
alone in British Colorable involves
some 125,000 h.p.

Baby's Own Tablets are the best
medicine a mother can give her little
ones. They are a mild laxative which
quickly regulate the bowels and stom-
ach and are guaranteed to be entirely
free from any injurious drugs. Con-
cerning them Mrs. A. D. West, Lore-
burn, Sask., writes:—"Baby's Own
Tablets have given me more satisfac-
tion than anything else I have ever
given my children. They are easily
taken; always work we11 and though
I have given quite a few to, my baby
they seem to work as well now as at
first, which Is something other laxa-
tives seldom do," The Tablets are

The Miner's - Joke.
A party of professors undertook to
penetrate into the depths of a Cornish
mine. The lowering apparatus was
the primitive rope and bucket. When
they had finiabed their explorations
they were hauled up in the bucket two
at a time. As the last was slowly as-
cending, with a miner as a fellow pas-
senger, he perceived unmistakable
symptoms of frailty in the rope. "How
often do you change your ropes, my
good man?" he inquired, when about
half way from the bottom of the awful
abyss. "Every three months, sir," re-
plied the man in the bucket; "and
we shall change this one to -morrow'
if. we get up safe."

Quebec Supplies World With
Asbestos.
.Asbestos lo one of the better known
of Quaid,* ai4l''s'e none -al etallic minerals
It is useful as an insulating material

chiefly in the Eastern Tewn41ips
of Quebec, the depeeits them being

fissures or the serpentine rock, which
in this areae is of a dark green or
brownish color, so badly shattered
that it 'is almost irepoesible to secure
a block of the stone six feet long.
Veins ate asbestos, sometimes front
four to five inches in thickness, are
found with the fibres at right angles
to the walls of veins.
Properly speaking, asbestos is not
mined, but is recovered by the open-
eut method from (marries, similar to

Owing to its . non -conducting pro-
perties and to the fact that it is resis-
tant to common acidic,. asbestos 'has
many atoll varied uses.It is largely
used as insulation for heating plants
and of refrigeration installations,
Asbestos enters largely into the
manufacture of electrical equipment,
each as electric frons, toasters, fuse
boxes, switchboards, etc. Other pur-
poses for which it is used are as wall-
board, sheeting under shingles for fire
prevention, as gas logs in fire -places,
as filaments for kerosene and 'gas
mantels; and as table mats and uten-
sil holders.
Themotor car industry has become
a large consumer of asbestos, for in-
sulation purposes and for brake lin-
ings, ete,
Owing to the facility with which
asbestos fibre can be spun and woven,
considerable use is made of it for
filtering purposes in laboratories. Its
resistance to the Compton acids ren-
ders it of special value for this pur-I
pose.
The production of asbestos in the
province of Quebec in 1920 amounted
to 177,606 bons, of a value of $14,-'
674,372. By far the greater proper -
tion of this is exported, mostly to the
United States.

Mlnard's Liniment Relieves Distemper
New Recorcd for English
Marriages.
The year 1020 broke all recarda for
marrages in this country, says a Lon-
don despatch. For rho three years
preceding the war the anneal average
number of marriages in England and
Wales was only 280,000. In 1920 al-
most 400,000 marriages took place.
Prior to this the 800,000 mark had
been passed only twice. The lest
time was in 1915, when the cry "Single
Men Firat" set the wedding bells
ringing, and in 1919, when marriages
which had been delayed by the war
took place,
The 1920 boom is attributed to the
after effects of the immediate wave of
prosperity following the war. The of-
ficial returns for the last few months,
however, show that marriages have
fallen off again.
