Georges Clemenceau, the veteran - French statesman, le exciting a great deed of comment in the French capital because of his remarkable energy. He Is up at seven o'clock each morning and begins his round of visits at eightl o'clock. He has an hour's gymnastic lessons regularly every morning, and generally has, very little tune to -spare. However, one of his favorite pas- times is- telling good stories; and the following is the latest gem of a repel% tofre that must contain thouiande upon thousands of amusing anecdotes, This story concerne, strange as it may seem, himself; it must be remem- bered that M. Olemenceau ie very modest and very rarely tells a story about himself, although tales about him are legion. Thegrand old Frenchman was stand Mg outside his residence one morning about eight o'clock, when a photo grapher from a morning newspaper sidled up to him, and asked: "Excuse me, but has Olemenceau come oat yet? Iwant -to take his pic- ture." "Clemenceau, Clemenceau!" said the former premier thoughtfully, '7 scent to knoae the name, but who is he? Who 1e"he?" I don't know the end of this delight_ ful story, but it seems extremely un- likely that Clemeneeau gave the game away and let the photographer take his picture. It is one of the boasts of the French statesman that ire will never stave his photograph taken for newspaper purposes for the next ten or twenty years. After that time, of course, he may relent.

Little Peter was of an inquiring turn of mind. • "Daddy," he asked one day, "is to- day to -marrow?" "No, my son, of course it isn't to- morrow," was the reply. "But you said it was," murmured Pater. "When did I say to -day was to -mor- row?" asked father. "Yesterday," answered Peter. "Well, it was. To -day was to -mor- row yesterday but today ls'.to-day, just as yesterday was 'to -day. yester- day but is yesterday today, anti to- morrow will be to -day to -morrow, which makes to -day yesterday and to- morrow all at once.

Funeral services for an old couple who are still alive have just been held at Kochi,a p an. J The man, who le the proprietor of a fashionable restaurant, and his wife, are both seventy, and it was their de- sire that their funeral should take place before their. death: A- long cortege of "mourners" left the Kochi park, "and all the procedure of the funeral service according to Budtlist rites was carried out in regu- lar order at the Hongwan Temple. After the service the couple enter- tain,ed many of their "mourners" at a dinner, given to celebrate their longe- vity. They believe that the "funeral" has given them a new lease of life. Birth of An Island The birth of an island is described in a report received recently from the master Of the steamship Jacox, who declares that he was a witness of part of the phenomenon. While on his route from Singapore, a violent disturbance was noted on the surfaceofthe sea, where a mass. "dark in color,with straight sides, about 100ft. in height and between two and threemiles in length," had risen above the surface. "There were breakers along the en. tire length," added the captain, "and the sea was washing away loose ma- terial, Repeated explosions were noted, causing large waves. These continued at intervals of about one minute for more than an hour," The island has been officially named Tagawa, but ode neost charts is desig- nated "Newborn."'

The Generated Government steam- ship Arctic sailed from Quebec on July 9,11 for points in the Cenaddan-Arctic archipelago in the provisional district of Franglin, Northwest Territories. It had been intended' that the ship re- cently purchased in England for this service, and, ysenained the Franklin,. would be used his year, but owing ta unforeseen delaips in having her hull strengthened tel meet ice conditions, this was impossible and it was neces- sary to recommission the famous odd Arctic for one more northern voyage. As last year the expedition, which is in charge of the North West Terri- tortes Branch of the Department of Ithe Interior, is commanded by Mr. J. . D. Craig, and Captain J. E, Bernier is in charge of thio -Arctic. Those on board include a number of surveyors, naturalists, and engineers to investi- Igate the natural resources of the re- gion; the members of the special court which le to conduct the trial of three Eskimos charged with murder; and a number of members of the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police to relievemen stationed in the north. The cargo con- sisted. chiefly of supplies for, the posts at Craig Harbor and Ponds Inlet and for the new posts•it is intended to es- tablish.

Stomach troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thousands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given occasional- ly to the -well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaran- teed by government analyst to be ab- solutely harmless even to the new- born babe, They are especially good in summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure.

Racial O rl g in --Norman-French. Source—A locality. This group : of family names 1s die- tinctly Scottish. It' is, in: facet, the name of an old feudal• estate in Nor- mandy. , This does not mean, however, that any:. appreciable" amount at French blood flows in the veins of descend. auto ,of the Clan Cumming, for named form no infallible guide to blood. Prob- ably no better example of this could be given than in the case of this par- ticular name.- The Sire de "Comeyn," or "Conan." as it is spelled in another copy of the beetle roll called at the command of Wililanr the Conqueror follawieg the Battle of Hastings; at which he' broke the aingdorn of the Anglo-Saxons, was one of the followers .of the• Conqueror. His' given name does not appear, but the name of, the place' of which he was the ruler served for the Norman noble- man the same pnrpaee as a modern family name,' for his rulership was hereditary. Either this nobleman or his son pre- sumably was the Richard "Corwin" wbo settled M Steeling' and became a follower of King David I. of that country, starting the , family on the road to high honors. Later a John, known- as.. the "Red Cumyn;' hall claim to the Scottish throne and. killed Robert the Bruce, The family won its holdings and: position ,in the Highlands, as a few other Norman families did, both through inttermarriage, and grants, of the Scottish kings, In this manner the clan following gradually was built up from the inhabitants of the'granted territories, they, of course, tracing the name from the chief of the clan. NEWMAN Varlations-Neuman, Neumann, New- comer, Newcum, Newcomb. Racial Origin -English and German. Source -Descriptive. It was not until after the 'Norman conquest, and the ,two• races' Norman and Anglo-Saxon, had begun to inter- mingle thoroughly, that the period of industrial growth began. This period, one of increasing pros- perity for the medieval English, was also the period in which the real growth of family names began in' that country. It was a .period in which, as a result of the new social and econo- mic, order, there' was a considerable shifting about of population occurring. Men moved about from place to place, in the slackening bonds of feudtalism, s,eaeching' for new opportunities, There w.as• not a community that did net, have its quota of new settlers. When you search for another word than "newcomers" by which to desig- nate them, you realize how naturally they came to be called "newcomers" by the commu•nitiee in which -they set- tied. Such names, as "Peter le Newe,'s "Geoffrey le Newcomer" and "Roger`.• Newoomnnen" (."newly come") are quite frequent in the madi-o-ral records of about Ode period. The name o -f Newcomb properly should not have that final "b," for it dues not come from the word "comb," d'eseriptive of the character of the land, like the names Combs, . Coombe and Coomber.

Some people have a tendency to be- come thin -blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or tonervous disorders. Tbe condi- tion in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually aad stealthily that anyone with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symp- toms carefully. Btoodleseness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. .It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlessness on slight ex- ertion, • such as going up stairs, is no- ticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of diseases caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood -making pills afford. the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed: You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

With regard to performing and hear- ing music, the multiplication of in- struments like the player piano' and the talking machine added to the large number of persons who are able to play the piano, the organ, the violin and' other stringed instruments—these all have smoothed the way to the un- derstanding and appreciation of music, It is by no means true that music is appreciated when it Is understood, nor is it necessarily understood when it is appreciated. A long experience in teaching musical appreciation to col- lege students has convinced one well- known authority of the truth of these statements., 11) An understanding of music without any real love for it,. without feeling its worth, will result in mere snobbery, (2) A love of music, r belief in Its great value without knowledge of its structure, without any wast knowledge how it grew .or of what it le composed, will leave, its possessor critically helpless, unable to distinguish between the false and the true, able to say only tibia, "I know what I bike." To knew what music is made of, to approach Id as organized sound, to realize that it has structure, to know that it is• subject to the same great laws of growth as the other arts, to es- teem it not because it helps one to make pictures, or for any other rea- son, but because it has value in and of itself, this is to understand music, Quite apart from what many people are pleased to term its message, be- yond e-yand - any emotional enjoyment' ex- perinea' in hearing it, music exists as organized sound, and lasting and profound appreciation of Music come to one the more profoundly that truth is apprehended.

Everyone knows how exorbitant the prices of genuine antique furniture frequently are. Tbe purchasers are generally rich and don't often dispute the price, and the supply is rarely equal to the demand. In a recent court ease, says London Opinion, a witness who was a furniture dealer testified as follows: "In October, 1920, I went'to Sudbury Hall, Lord Vernon's place in Derby- shire, to bring to town ten Chieeen- dale chairs and two settees that we had bought. In a few days we sold them to, Messrs. Dighton." ` "What did you pay for them?" asked the examining lawyer. "About six hundred pounds." "How long was it before you sold them to Messrs. Dighton,?" "About six weeks." "For how much?" "Onethousand four hundred pounds," "And then they were sold to Mr. Shrager for three thousand poundal What do you suppose Lord Vernon would think of that a profit of two thousand four hundred pounds the dealers made out of his chairs in a few weeks?"
