X-RayTriumphs.
The recent case of a girl from whose
lungs—after a lapse of three months---
a peaell protector Was successfully re-
moved, .is another addition to the net
of X-ray achievements,.
An even more curious-. object dins
been removed from a child's body by
means of the "rays'." A boy had swat
lowed a toy motor, which had stuck'
in his windpipe, but could not be 10-
oath(' by orrlinary metbode. Hall* it
not been for the X-ray it is certain that
he would have died,
A collection of objects similarly die -
covered would make an interesting ex-
hibit .for any hospital or 'college. It
would include nails, 'tacks, scissors.,
beads, buttons, "balls, tin • toys, and
even hatpins..,
The value of the X-ray in determin-
ing the nature and extent of bone frac-
tures is, of course, well known. Com-
pound fractures are, especially simpli-
fied by the ability of the surgeon to
consult a photograph whenever neces-
sary.
Apparently there is no limit to the
scope of this invention, It haseven
been used.in `searching" native miners'

Each man as he leaves.his work is sub-
jected to a thorough examination,
which does not leave a stolen gem un-
found, even if it be hidden in his ear

event the •suspect 15 speedily convicted
by an X-ray examination of his atom-
X•raye might almost be said to have
been brought to perfection. The great
objection to their use has been their
disastrous effect on the operators, in-
juring the nerve terminals and causing
local mortification, which eventually
resulted in the loss, of an arin, suoh'as
that suffered by Dr. Bergonie, the fa•
mous French experimenter, or death,
such as befell the renowned Drs. Lys

The use of a new "tube" enables the
exposure to be almost instantaneous
and -the risk negligible, in spite of the
fact that the power is so much in
creased that photographs can be taken
through a wall.
Protective clothing, too, Blas been
improved. The apron is of rubbeY',,and
both mask and gloves are Impregnated

Relics of Famous Ships.
An anonymous donor of $250,000 has
saved Nelson's Victory from failing, to
pieces at her anchorage in Portsmouth
Harbor. While she still lives relic -
hunters have been busy with her body,
and in many parts of the country you
will be shown furniture and various
objects of wood which have been made
from partly defective baulks of timber
extracted during repairs.
It is seldom that a famous ship dis-
appears utterly when she reaches the
breakers' yard, though no trace re-
mains se the collier Endeavor, in
which Captain Cook made his voyage
through the South Seas.
Drake's tiny ship, the Golden Hind,
lives on at Oxford in the Deem of a
chair made of timber broken from her
when she was chopped up at Deptford.
When• the Resolute was sent to the
Arctic to look for Sir John Franklin
she was frozen in and abandoned by
her crew. After years of drift she was
borne south by, a melting floe, and
found by an American whaler, which
tools :her in tow The American Govern-
ment refitted her and returned her to
Britain,
When she was broken up, after dying
in the Medway for some years, a suite
of furniture was made from her tim-
bers and given to ,the President of the
United States.
After the wreck cf the Astrolabe and
the Boussole, the two ships soot out by
the French to explore the Pacific after
the return of Captain Cook, bits of
their gear salvaged from the coral reef
on which they were battered to bits
were taken back to Paris and built in-
to a memorial column, which was
erected to commemorate the expedi-
tion,
Now and then a Venetian gondolier
will show you Ms most prized posses-
sion, a piece of wood, handed down as
an heirloom, which was once a part of

A Lawbreaker's Mixture.
To laugh at the miscarriage of an
honest scheme is certainly uncharit-
able, but no one objects to laughter at
the expense of a lawbreaker. Hence
this story that the Literary Digest tells
of a wealthy bootlegger may properly
amuse US:
A certain man who had much money
with which to gratify his whims de-
cided that his cellar was undersup-
plied. He inquired and found that a
friend stood ready to help him with a
brand-new' tank truck labeled "Stand-
ard oil." The tank was • carefully
cleaned and "filled with whiskey at
about twenty-five dollars a gallon:
The truck was sate 'out of, the city,
was loaded ,anti' at last arrived at Its
destination. : The driver had been un.
instructed, and the garage chief oft e
ivealtilyinan was equally innocent. The
truck' drove to the rich man's garage
and there ran the costly contents of
the tank into the big gasoline tank,
lnixtug he irrisi:ey, wWth enough gaso-
line to make a mixture unfit either for
drinking or for rimming an engine, And
what could the rich man do? Nothing.
So he did it.
The X-rays are now used for
searching', bales of'tnods to see if any
contraband articles are hidden inside.
Always be cheerful and • make the
best of things. Do what is right,. and
whatever may be your task, da your
beat in it, --Queen Mary.

O'HARA
Variations -O'Hara, O'Hora.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
Sometimes the change in spelling
between the real Irish form of a name
and its Anglicized version is so great
as to throw you completely off- the
track. O'Hara is one of these names.
Pew persons would think of. associat-
ing it with the name which in the Gae-
lic is spelled "O'h-Badhradh."
But you will note that when the two
"dh" compounds are "pronounced"
silently, as happens to be correct, and
that the diphthong "ea" takes more
of the "a" than of the "e" sound, like
this: "O'h-(E)a(dh)raOh) ; you s.ee
there really isn't much left to it but
O'Hara.
This clan name is derived from the
given name of "Badradh." The O'Hara
clan was settled in Kuighne. It was
a branch of the O'Carrolls of Ely, and.
the clan must havecome into exist-
ence about the time of Brian Bora or
a trifle later, for' in the clan record of
a long line of chieftains there is men-
tioned in the year 1067 one "canning.
O'h-Eadradth," who was a lecturer at
Clonmacnoise. The O'Haras were a
strong clan until the time of Oliver
Cromwell's invasion of Ireland,
HALLEY
Variations—Hally, O'Halley, O'Hally,
Hely, O'Haley, O'Haly.
Racial Orle ln--Irish.
Source—Given names.
.As a matter of feet, •there are two
clans • and two family names here. But
there has been a good bit of confusion
between the two h. the Anglicized
forms of the names, and it is, beat, per-
haps, to stretch a point and for the
sake of convenience regard them as
variations of each other,
The forms Halley, Hally, O'Halley
and O'Haliy are in most cases names
founded on the clan name of the "O'h-
Aiiche," who were a branch of the
O'ICenedys of Ormond, anti descend-
ants of the famous "Cormac Cas."
Their territory was the ancient "Tua-
tha Fearait" ("County of the Hardy
Men").
The forms Hely, Haley, O'Hely and
O'Haley are more usually founded up-
on the clan name of the "O'h-Algaith,"
a derivative from the given name of
"Algach" (tila meaning of which was
"noble" or "courageous"). This clan,
like the Cosgraves and the O'Hogans,
was a branch of the old O'Brien clan,
through that same chieftain, "Cole
grant," whose name was perpetuated
in the clan and family name of Cos-
grave."
PMN AFTER EATING
Proof That the Stomach is Weak
• and Needs Toning Up.
Generally speaking, a person in good
health can digest most foods. If not,
and there is pain after eating, the
stomach has lost tone and is too weak
to do its work. In that case your stom-
ach needs strengthening and the way
to do this is to build up your blood
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
There cannot be good digestion with-
out a sufficient supply of good red
blood, and there is nothing better than
Dr, Williams' Pink Tills to renew and
enrich the, blood. That is why they
have proved so suceessfulin thousands
of cases of indigestion. Mr. D. J.
Shaw, Selkirk Road, P.E.L, has proved
the value of Dr• Williams' Pink Pills
in a severe case of indigestion and re-
lates his experience for the benefit of
other sufferers, IIe gays:—"I suffered
from indigestion for a number of yt,ars.
MY case was so bad that words fall to
describe it. My appetite was gone,
constipation was present, and my
nerves were all on edge. L could not
sleep well at night, and the world was
a dark spot to me. I tried a number
of remedies, but without any benefit.
Then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wore re-
commended, but without much faith,
after so many failures, I decided to try
them. After taking three boxes I no-
ticed a change for the better. Then
I .got three boxes more, and found I
hada genuine remedy. 'I continued
the treatment, took, moderate exercise,
could take good plain food without suf-
fering as formerly, and proved that
these pills make good blood,and that
this good blood will restore the'stom-
acb' and nerves. Anyone suffering
from stomach or nerve troubles' will
make no mistake in giving Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills a air trial,

Boys in London Strive to
Enter King's Choir.
Fifty London boys between ten and
fourteen years old came to the Chapel
Royal, St. James, recently, to' have
their voices tested by the Ring's or-
ganist and choirmaster, each hoping
to be the one of the two to be chosen
to fill vacancies in the Xing's choir.
Competition is keen, for with the
privilege of singing before the royal
family and the court goes a term of
general education at the City.of Lon-
don School, Some of the choir boys
come from wealthy families, bat as
there is no favoritism in the choosing,
the only test being voice quality, there
are always several parents who par-
ticularly appreciate the educational
side of'the matter.
The boys wear scarlet and gold uni-
forms, and their duties, ospedally
when the court is in London, are con-
siderable. At 10 o'clock on Sundays
they assemble in the private chapel at
Buckingham Palace, at 11.15 they go to
St. James's Cathedral, when there is
a full service for the King's general
household. At 12.30 comes the service
in Queen Alexandra's private chapel in
Marlborough House.
Memorial of Hochelaga.
The Department of the Interior,
Canadian National Parks Branch, has
made arrangements with the authori-
ties 61 MaGill University, Montreal, to
erect a monument and memorial tab-
let within the university grounds,
near the entrance in Sherbrooke
Street, to commemorate the existence
of the ancient fortified Indian village
of Hochelaga.' The quaint sketch of
Hochelaga, published by Ramusio and
reproduced in the works of Champlain,
together with Cartier's entertaining
description of -tine village, hos made
Hochelaga ' ono of the out -standing
points in the romance of Canadian his-
tory. -Dur:iug the autumn of 1535 Car-
tier, accompanied by a varied retinue,
WAS received with great honor by the
Iroquois and later' Champlain visited
the abandoned site. The village con-
tained fifty large houses, lodging sou -
oral families- who subsisted' by `coltiva-
tion and fishing, The abandonment of
the village by the i requois id attributed
to the hostile attacks. of the,neighbor-
ing Algonquin tribes.,
A smallboy was sitting on his
father's knee watching his mother as
she painfully went through the very
delicate operation of doing her hair
ie that most becoming wave' effect.,
"No waves for you, pa," said the in-
fant philosopher as he fondly polish-
ed his parent's bald head. "You're
all beach."
Richest Spot on Earth.
The greatest gold mine in the wo
is at Timmins, 500 miles north
Toronto.
Thirteen years ago an outcroppin
of rack lay unknown in the heart of
wild buses country. A man carne etre
gliug through the bush, his belongdn
packed' an his back..,. He saw the rock.
"Gold!" be muttered.
The man' was a young proepector
named Ben Hollinger. To -clay the Hol-
linger mine covers more than 400
acres; below -its Surface run 45 miles
of. tunneler' and' an: electric railway syn
tem; Sts great mills roar ceaselessly;
and $1,000,000 in gold )eaves its re-
finery every month
The Hollinger=mine has become the
greatest in the world. For two years'
it has been running neck and neck
With its nearest', rival, the great New
SModderfontein of the Rand, South Af-
rica, Bise most recent figures, how-
ever, show that while the output of the
Transvaal mine has declined, the Hol-
linger is forging ahead.
What does the world's richest trea-
sure chest look like? To be truthful,
it looks like 'anything on earth but a
gold mine. It looks like a boiler lac.
tory, or a"pork-packing plant, or any-
thing unromantic.
Bollinger produced 512,000,000 in
1922, This year it Je planned to mill
7,000 tons of •ere per day, instead of
4;300, the present daily average. Yet
for years to come Hollinger will be
using only a fraction of the urine's re-
cources.
Hollinger at present employs 2,300
men, of whom 1,800 work underground.
They are arranged in three shifts. For
eight hours a day they work ih. a
cavern of gold, and never see it, for
the greatest gold mine in the world
displays no yellow metal until there -
finery has done its work.

'Por ten year's hardly a day pass
that I didn't suffer from stomach trou-
ble, but I took Tanlac four years ago
and haven't had e sick tray since, is
the remarkable statement made re-
cently by Sirs, Thamar Smith, 85 Mc-
Gee St, Toronto, Ont.
The little I managed to eat simply'
tortured me with pains in the pit of
my stomach, and gas pressed around
my heart, causing it to skip beat, un-
til I thought 1t would stop .altogether.
I was, as nervous as a witch, and lost
so much sleep that I was dark and
swollen under my eyes. 'I was<so weak
and run doyen I could hardly walk a.
block or do my housework, and was
almost in despair.
"Tanlaccertainly was a godsend in
restoring me to such perfect health,
and I think It's the greatest medicine
ever made. Nearly everybody else on
McGee Street seems to have used the
treatment, and are praising it too."
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug-
gists. Accept no substitute. Over 97

The Afternoon Tea Rite.
Mr. Gordon Selfridge, the Chicago
merchant who invaded and conquered
London, is revisiting the United States,
and touches on some piquant con-
trasts between his native and adopted
countries. He has the advantage of a
double standard of comparison, of see-
ing the British through American eyes.
To an interviewer he lays amusing
emphasis on an English social rite, af-
ternoon tea, which is the subject of
mild derision an the part of visitors
to the tight little island—until they
succumb to it. Mr. Selfridge thinks
that if Americans would similarly re-
lax in the middle 01 the afternoon's
work they would gain a poise and
calm they really need and lose none of
their famous "pep." When he opened
his departmental store on Oxford
Street thirteen years ago It was the
custom of his salespeople to snatch
tea as best they could. Instead of dis-
couraging it he accepted it as a na-
tional institution, and gave a tea inter-
val to each of his 3,000 employees, and
"since everybody else in the country
does it, no time or business was leet,"
He is quoted further:
"Tea is brought around at matinees
and movies, on iwllway trains and
boats, Lords and commoners pause
for it in parliament. You cannot en-
ter any office, editorial den, public
library, factory or 'shop in Great Bri-
tain between four or five without
stumbling aver cups and tea things."
Mr. Selfridge confessed that, person-
ally, he did not like tea, but he likes
what it stands for—a friendly getting
together, a relaxing pause in the day's
work, a slowing down of the Ameri-
can's relentless push, not to a point
of becoming less active, but more bal-
anced. The American has a break-
down at 60, he added, but the English-
man was swinging a wicked golf club
at 65.
Afternoon tea has become a social
function on this side of the Atlantic,
but it has not seriously penetrated the
market place. After all, it is not the.
tea hour that gives the Briton poise
and calm. It is merely one expression
of his unhurried habits and ways of
living and of looking at life. Before
work slows down In offices, factories
and shops on this continent in the
presence of the tea -cups, there will
have to be a radical change in the
mental as well as the physical habits
of the business community.

Tells How Lydia E.Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Restored Her Health
River Desert, Que.—" I used to have a
severe pain in my side. I would be un-
able to walk fast and could not stand
for any length of time to do my ironing
or washing, but I would have to lie
down to get relief from the pain. I
had this for about two years, then a
friend told me to try Lydia E. Pink -
ham's Vegetable Compound as she had
had good results. I certainly got good
results from it, too, as the last time I
had a sore side was last May and I have
not had it since. I am also glad of
bavmg good nursing for my baby, and
I think it is your medicine that helped
me in this way."—Mrs, L. V. BUDGE,

If you are suffering from the tortures
of a displacement, irregularities, back-
ache, headaches, nervousness, or a pain
in the side you should, lose no time in
