Source—An occupation. Among the medieval English a Lipp- man was a "leapinan," "lepeman" or "leepman." . All three', spellings are to be found in the old 'records. • " You pi!ght conclude from this • that the various founders of the Lippman and Lipman families were celebrated as \jumpers. Such a conclusion, however," '•would be entirely erroneous. The word "lepe" has been for many generations defunct in our language, though the family names derived from the occupation connected with it are very much alive and by no means un-, common. The "lope" was a form of .basket, strong but flexible, and in wide use about the period 'when family names -,,.began to crystallizefrom. occupations as swell as other sources. In an old' Bible, in the parable of the loaves, and fishes, is found the follow- ing: "And then eeten and waren ful- filled and thea taken up that that lefte of relifs sevens leepis' It was the usual thing to refer to a 'man by his occupation; as "Roger' le. Denman" ("the maker of baskets"), but quite often without even the ar- 'tide, "le," particularly toward the close of this period, in which common usage made .the names mere verbal tags of identification rather than literal descriptions of occupation. DRISCOLL Variation—O'Driscoll, Raclah Orig in -Irish. Source—A given name. You might not even recognize coil as an ,Irish family name, though if • you run across it in the form of O'Driscoll the significance of that pre- fix is clear.

The clan was founded by a chieftain named "Pldersceal, who was : the great-grandson of "Lugaidh MacCon, the 113th monarch in that line of "high kings" whose reignsstretched through virtually 3000 years. There are no records which show specially the year in which the clan was founded, but history gives definite- ly the reign of this great-grandfather of the founder, which' was •between the years 195 and 225 A.D.' SATISFIED SATISFIED MOTHERS No other medicine gives as great satisfaction to mothers as does Baby's Own Tablets. .These Tablets are ` equally good, for the newborn babe or the growing child and are absolutely safe. They cannot possibly do harm -always good. The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative .which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus relieve baby of any of the • minor ills of childhood such as con: atipation, indigestion, colds, colic, etc. Concerning them Mrs. Arthur Pillion, St. Sylvestre, Que. writes:—"Baby's Own Tablets have- leen of wonderful, benefit to my baby who was suffering from constipation and, indigestion.

The greatest living British musician, Sir Edward_ Eiger, can look back with pride and declare that he is practically self-taught—£3 12s. Gd. was his total expenditure on instruction, for a fart - night's tuitionon the violin. One of Sir Edward's first appoint- ments was . as bandmaster to a local. lunatic asylum, where he used tocon- duct an orchestra composed of the at- tendints, and'in those days he thought little of writing a whole score of a piece for is. 6d. He tells the story of the time when he first went to school. The master asked for his name, and he replied, "Edward Elgar," whereupon the mas- ter said: "Add the word 'sir'!" "Sir Edward Eiger, came the re- ply. And that unconscious prophecy came true! The Missing Clock. In "My Garden of Memory," Mrs. Bate: Douglas - Wiggin, the famous authoress, tells a story of the time when she was the guest of some friends, and was kept from sleeping by the ticking of a clock in her bedroom. Finally, she had to place the clock among some blankets in a. drawer. Leaving early next morning, she for- got to tell the maid about the clock. Three months afterwards, in Ger- many, she remembered it. She would have cabled, but it seemed bizarreto say, after an interval of many months: "Clock buried in guest -room between blankets in bottom drawer. Impossible to sleep with it! Forgive!"

If yourblood gets thin the color will fade and the eyes grow dim. By the time this happens you will notice that you tire easily and are subject, to headaches and backaches, for the blood: goes every- where and the entire system feels the, effects when it becomes thin. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to enrich the blood, andthis better blood strengthens the nerves and all the organs of the body, brings a glow of health to the cheeks, bright- ness to the eyes and a general feeling of renewed health and strength. Miss Florence Johnson, Stratford, Ont., who has proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills in oases of this kind, says:—"A few years ago I was great' ly run down; my blood was very poor and my nervous system in bad shape. The doctor said my condition was due to improper diet and lack of fresh air. I then commenced eating the food he advised and went out daily for a walk. I did, not ,improve, however, and was mush 'discouraged. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I Iost no trine: "in getting a, -supply and can truthfully say that when 'I had finished the :first box I could note an improvement. From then on the pro- gress was steady. My complexion, which had been pale and sallow, be- gan to take on a healthy glow, I felt a great deal stronger and my appetite' became normal, and soon my health was fully restored. Before using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I did not know anything about their wonderful quali- ties, but now I recommend them to all suffering from similar ailments." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., 'Brockville, Ont. And Americans Are Motorists, You Know. "Do you think Americans believe in their motto, 'In God We Trust?' " "Don't the motorists drive as if they do?" About "Grass Widows." In the eleventh century in England it : was a law of the church that a widow must "remain under God's pro- tection and grace"—not marry—for a year after the death of her husband. Such women were called "Grace Wid- ows," which often went into the parish registers tis "grasse widows." This was the first use of the term. Of more recent origin, however; is its recent inelegant adaptation to indi- cate a divorcee: In the days or the Forty-niners in ifor i'a C a 11 i a it was not uncommon• 'f for men to "board out" their wives while they went off to dig for gold. Seeing humor in the situation, one of them uniquely referred to the separation as "'rating his widow out to grass" ---with reference, of course, to the pasturing of cattle. Tlie term evidently .struck what has been called "the American afflictionof the funny bone."

Whether stolen goods• are hidden en land or in the water does not matter to a police dog. A cow, for instance, was stolen recently and th epolice dog, with its policeman leader, was set on the track. He followed the track to a suburban garden and found the dead cow hidden underneath branches:and straw. Not satisfied' with this dis- closure, :the dog went on and began to bark in front - of a shack, where the two thieves were found, with the blood- stains 'of loodstainsof the fresh -killed cow on their. clothes. Ito, the "wonder:dog," found stolen copper- and lead in a water barrel. Here alSea.the dog, was not content- with finding the goods, but discovered the, thief, who was with his father in a' garden of , the neighborhood., That the splendid police dogs do their duty even in water is proven by the stunt Greif did not long ago when he speeded to Berlin's river harbor to locate a `stolen tun of oil which the thieves. had sunk there by means of ropes and stones.

In his "Bluebook of Annuals and Biennials" . Henry Stuart Ortloff, the landscape architect, gives a word about the proper way. "0 word. about outing flowers. A «harp pair of scissors is the best im- plement," mplement," he says. "A clean sharp cut is more readily healed by Nature. Spare the smelt shots, and branches, for they are the sources of a later supply. It is always well to cut an average amount of foliage with your flower; and it is always better taste to use a flower with its own foliage rather than depend on ferns and other things for greenery. "When the flowers are taken in- doors plunge their stems into a deep Blah or pail of cold water and let them stand for a quarter to a half an hour, or while you are ,collecting the vari- ous vases and filling them about three quarters full of fresh water. When You have selected your blooms., befare you take them from the water, snip off the ends_ of the stem with your scis- sors while they are strtll under water. "The season' -for thIa is' that while the flower has been in .the open air with a cut stem a large amount of air has entered the stalk and so does not per- mit water to flow readily up the stem ae it should."
