Surnames and Their •Origin
LIPPMA•N.
Variation—Lipman,
Reale! Origin—English.
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.
Like virtually all Irish names, it is
the Anglicized form of an ancient clan

It :hail been with the keenest regret
that the Duke of York has: oonsented`,
to the resignation of Commander Louie

Mrs, Coolldge's Retort,
Mrs. Calvin Coolldego is noted for
her quick flashes of wit and repartee.

prompt retort.

The clan was founded by a chieftain
named "Pldersceal, who was : the

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. I
always keep the Tablets on hand and
would advise all mothers to • do like-
wise." •''The Tablets aro cold by medi-

Label Them Correctly.
I have seen careless people wash
out a medicine bottle, and without
changing the label refill the bottle
with some entirely different kind of
medicine. Thisis a mighty dangerous
practioe,'•as we are not always on the
job oursleves and it might prove a
very disastrous act to the strangsr who
is helping us out.

STORIES OF WELir
KNOWN PEOPLE
It Came True!
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!"
Instead, she wrote, and by reply

It is the brood that gives color to
the cheeks and lips, as well as bright-
ness to the eyes. 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

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."

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

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." For applied to the

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.

The Right Way to Gather
Flowers.
As every good gardener knows, there
ate a right way and a wrong way of
gathering flowers. 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."
Much Worse.
"I read where your wife was drawn
on the jury. I reckon she's goin' to
claim exemption from jury service be-
cause of house and nursemaid work,"
said Hi Hagglefence, who had dropped
in to argue politics with his favorite
neighbor.
"No," replied Lafe Sprybody, recov-
ering the baby's rattle, with a deep
sigh. "She's going to claim exemp-
tion from housework and nursemaid-
ing because of jury service."
