Altman, Allman, Lallimande, Racial Origin --Norman French. Source—Geographical. Here is a group of family names, all from the same source, but in every one of which all clue to that source is well concealed. •. These names were originally addi- tions to given names which were des- criptive of the nationality of the coun- try from which the bearers had come. During the period of the eleventh,. -twelfth and thirteenth •centuries the English language had not developed the name "Germany," which, by the way, is the name for Germany in • no ether language than English. The common word in those days was that from which the modern French name for Germany has de- veloped "Almaine," or ."Aimayn. Merchants and artisans who came to England from the inland sections of Germany (in contrast to those from the seaports, who were called "East- erlirigs") wereknown either by some such ` title as "Raynard d'Almaine" ("Baynard of Almaine") or "Raynard le Alemaunde." "Le Aleman," "de Al - mania" also are forms frequently -met with in the old records. ' It is easy to see how such descrip- tive additions • to a name would be cor- rupted into some form that sounded like them as eon as the medieval un-. migrant had been in England long enough for his neighbors to forget their real. meaning. Thus "d'Almaine" has become either Tallman or Denman, an "le Aleman has becorne Aleman. The variation Lallimande probably . has come into England at a later period from the French, for Norman-French ceased to be the predominant tongue of Englad before it had a chance to shorten the "le" into the "1" of mod= ern French. Even before words be- ginning, with a vowel it is found in the old records in the form of "le." MacDOWELL Variations—Macbowall, Dowell, Dow- ell, MacDhoil, MacCoul, MacCoot. -Racial O r i g In—Scottish. Source—A given name. This group of names constitutes a c1aSs of variations of the clan name of MacDougall, borne by one of the lead- ing clans of Scortla.nd, and all of them acne as family names adopted by branches or septs• of that clan. Cer- tain of them, too,are not exclusively Scottish, but are to be found in Ire- land as. well: - That the same names shbuld spring up independently in Scotland and Ire- land, though in some cases from dif- ferent sources; is not strange, for the bulk of the Scottish Highland clans trace back to various periods of con- quest and colonization of Scotland by the Dalriaaic Scots from the north of Ireland, virtually all of which took place prior to the fifth century A.D. The difference in the Gaelic of the High- lands and that of Ireland is more a difference of dialect than of language. The family names in this group, like that of MacDougall, trace back to the. given name of Dugal, .from the Gaelic "dhu," meaning "dark," and "gall," for "stranger." In the very early period this was the Highlander's name for a man of the low- country, but is very quickly became a given. name. The family name of MacCoul was more anciently spelled "Makoul."

Everest, the '"recent account by Gen. Charles Gran - -villa Bruce and other members of the expeditio;of 1922 *of their attempt, so nearly successful, to conquer -the still unconquered crowning peak of the Himalayas, nothing is' more note- worthy than their experience in secur- ing the common necessaries of life— food and sleep. They were not simple matters to obtain on the terrible, windswept slopes and in the rarefied air and the intense cold of the high - 'est camps. The highest camp of the first climb- ing party had to be made upon peril- ously steep ground, upon a smooth, sloping slab of rock, across. the .feet of which they hastily piled a ridge of small stones so that they should not slide off. "It was not a situation that promised for either of us a bountiful repose," says Mr. George Leigh Mal- lory, who, as the reader will remem- ber, lost his life in the expedition of 1924, "for one would be obliged to lie along the slope, and the only check to his tendency to slip down would be the body of the other. However, there was the little tent making a gallant effort to hold itself proudly and well." There were two such tents; and af- ter -a trief meal of which hot tinned soup was the important part, the four climbers went early to rest—ifthey could—for, the morrow's final climb, in which :they hoped to"reach the Crest. "To the civilized man who gets into bed after the customary easy routine," continues Mr. Mallory, "the disposi- tions in .a climber's tent may seem strangely intricate. In the first place he has to arrange about his boots. He must start next morning if possible with warm feet and in boots not alto- gether frozen stiff. He may choose to go to bed in his boots, and if his feet are warm when he turns in, it may be that he can do no better. His feet will probably . keep warm in the sleeping bag if he wears his bed socks over his boots, and then he will not have to en- dure the pains of pulling on and wear- ing frozen boots in the morning. At this camp I adopted a different plan— t° wear moccasins instead of boots during the night and keep them on un- til the lastpossible momentbefore starting. But if a man takes his boots off, where is he to keep them warns?, Climbing boots are not good to cud- dle, and there will be no room for them with two in a double sleeping bag. Mine were accommodated in a ruck sack and put under my head for a pillow. It is not often that a man uses the head for warming things; nevertheless, they kept warm enough and were scarcely frozen in the morn- ing. Norton's entrance into our double bag was 'a grievious disturbance; con- sidering how long and slim he is, it is astonislhing how mach room he re- quired. We were pressed so tight to- gether that if eithermoved a corres- ponding manoeuvre was required of he other. I soon discovered as the chief item of interest . in the place where I lay a certain boulder, immov- able and excruciatingly sharp, that arae up between my shoulder blades. How in these ' circumstances- we thieved sleep --and I believe both of. rie were sometimes unconscious in a ight, intermittent slumber—I cannot xpiain. Perhaps the, fact that we of - en breathless from exhaustion or dis- omfort and were obliged to breathe deep helped us to sleep, as sleep reathing often will.

TOO IIAAY IIOIIE CARES One Reason Why so Many. Wo- men Are Weak and Run -Down. The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitality than men'realize, and there is always something` more to do. No wonder women's backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. Ne wonder why they get depressed and irritable, suffer from headaches, ,and always feel out of sorts. .But of oourse all women are not like that. What is the difference? A woman With plenty of healthy red blood in. her veins finds work;. in the home easy; her vitality is at par. This points the way to health in women who feel run .down and depressed. Make new rich blood., You can do it with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These pills have the marvellous property of building up the .blood and toning up the nerves. That is proved by the case of Mrs. H. • Eppinger, Scott Street, Vancouver, B.C.,who says:— "Dr. Williams' Pink, Pilin brought back my health and strength,. and, restored my nerves to normal condition after other -medicines` had failed. `It was after the birth of my second child that I became so anaemic and nervous that I thought 1 would lose my mind as well as my strength. I: tried .several medi- cines, but got- no relief until. I was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, After using a few boxes of these I could 'see a change. I felt stronger; my appetite was better, I slept better, and my nerves were • stronger. I con- tinued ontinued . the use of, the pills for some time, and again found'. myself a well woman, and I can sincerely say that my health has since been the best. I can cheerfully recommend the pills to all weak, run down women." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box. from The Dr..

The invention by the Japanese of a diving appliance eehich dispenses with the use of pumping promises: to revo= lutionize the pearling industry. - The new appliance -consists of a small mask, with face glass and rub - her edge, which covers the eyes and nose. The mask is connected to a cylinder about 161b. in weight, filled with compressed air, which is carried on the chest. The supply of air to the nose is re- gulatedby the mouth, which controls an attachment to a " tube connecting. the cylinder with the mask. The oldecumbersome diving suit is thus dispensed with, and the diver, with the greater freedom allowed to his limbs, can work more expeditious- ly..

The only visit that Robert Louie Stevenson paid to the bookshop of Mr, Walter T. Spencer, iu London, made .a fasting impression on the owner. In Forty Years in . My. Bookshop Mr. Spencer thus describes, it: Always I remember the night when Robert Louis Stevenson came into my shop. It was in the year 1885 that he made his one call on me, during a break in a journey from Edinburgh to Bournemouth. The day had been very wet, and he sat down wearily in a chair in my shop 'parlor ' to examine some pamphlets that he had inquired about. He - told me that one of his shoes leaked, and I suggested that he take .it off and allow it to be dried.. I thought Mr. Stevenson would be in- terested to see a catalogue that I had just issued in which the first edition of his New Arabian Nights (two vol- umes, published in 1882) was listed at 8s, 6d. in the original cloth. A moment earlier he had been depressed by the sight on my shelves of some sixty copies of the book—a library surplus that I had purchased for a shilling a volume. I can see now the change on his face as he looked up from the cata- logue. "But, Mr. Spencer," he said wist- fully, "no one asks about first editions'" of my books, do they?" Poor Stevenson's lack of self-con- fidence was neves justified for the book .'gradually increased in price, moving to four guineas,_ to six, to eight- At the sale of Colonel Pre deaux's library I gave £47 for a copy. But neither R.L.S. nor I, as we sat there talking on that rainy night, ever thought I should live to see the day when, knowing how limited is the edi- tion, I hadto bide £101, as I did in 1921, for a book that thirty-seven years earlier I had priced at 8s. 6d.
