MacFeat. Racial Origin—English and Gaelic. Source --A given name. The family name of Patterson to one to which neither the English, the Irish nor the Scots. can lay exclusive claim, for there are to be found evidences of its origin in all of theeacountriess. There are, however, certain of Its variations which can be allocated de- finitely to oneor. another of these countries: The name of Patrickson is one --.of the least c'ornrn•on foams, of the name, but where it is 'found, there is pretty good evidence of its English origin. The .given name of Patrick, or "Pad- ruig" and "Paruig," as it occurs in Gaelic, with the addition of words meaning "son of" or "descendants of," is, of course, the origin of the family name. The Irish name is "Macphaidin," de- rived from "Paidin," which is one of the dimli iitive forms of Patrick,and is found with us in the nickname "Pad- dy." Patterson, Pattison, MacFadden, Padden, Patten and Patton all occur as' anglicized versions of the Irish name. Patterson, Paterson and Pattison also occur as straight English develop- ments of "Patrick's -son." Paterson and McPatrick are names TOWER Racial Origin—English.. Source—An' Occupation. One ofthe origins of -.this fancily. name, the obvious., one, has been dis- cussed in a previous article, But the name does not always trace back to such a form as "Roger de la Tour." Often it is , trace¢ back to ' a form in which the "le" is present, but the "lie" is missing. And Phis does not indicate to the philologist that the • phrase. "tower of strength" was commonly ap- plied to individuals in those days. Deeper search, however, reveals an occupation, that of the "tawer," from which the name has come in many in- stances. The "tawer" of the medieval period was a specialist in the tanning ifidus,- try, who whitened and prepared goat skins and other soft leathers, to serve as raw material for the glove and shoe makers. It takes •but a slight change in the vowel sound to transform the word "tower" into "tower," though it is one of those tricly little changes which is likely to throw 'us off the track, par- ticularly when we are not familiar with the obsolete word. The term "tawer" also' was some- times applied to biea•chers and finish- ers of flax. MARCH , WEATHER DANGEROUS TO BABY Our Canadian March weather -one day bright, but sloppy, the next bins- tery and cold—is extremely ,hard on children. Conditions make it neces- sary for the mother to, keep •trig little ones inclloors. They are often confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms and catch wads which rack their whole system. To guard against these colds and to keep the baby well till the bet- ter, brighter days come along, a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxa- tive* which never fail to regulate the stoinaoh and bowels and thus they re- lieve colds and simple fevers and keep the baby fit, The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. He Wondered. They talked so nice about hien, They praised'him to the skies; They said they loved his genial voice, The kindness in his eyes; They said they oft remembered The noble things', he'd done; ' They vowed he was in all things The city's, favorite son. He heard: their praise and plaudits And then in fear he said: "They talk of me so- nicely, I .guess I must be dead!" —Wilbur D. Nebit. Hest Training,Place. The old-fashioned home, said a re- cent speaker, surpasses all modern schools for the proper training of the young. Home should be a place whore the theatre has a rival in home games and home tompani.ouship; where the radio may be heard, but not to the ex- clusion of fancily story -telling, reading and conversation; and where good music is always to be found. 1 hill.

The editor of an Amerioan diction- ary declares that something very simi- lar to cross -word puzzles took up Much of the time of the Hindus and•Chineee 1,000 years. B.C. The Indians who lived in America before the arrival of the whites used to play a crisscross puzzle with grains. of corn each marked with some In than sign. It is probable that the Indians brought puzzle working to America from Asda, when there was a stretch of land all the way. "The cross -word puzzle of the 'pre- sent is evolved by combining the anagram, the acrostic, the rebus, and so en, with ancient magic squares," the editor says. "It is also• closely al- lied to emeses, and is posibly an earlier form of that game._ "The magic squares played an im- portant part in the occultisan and mys- deisms of the Middle Ages. They were known to Hindus and Chinese, how- ever, before the Christian era, and were introduced into Europe in the fif- teenth century." ' r�--. The last hard pull gets us over the .

Father of Medicine. The foundations .of medical science were laid in the early part of the first century by Claudius Galen. Galen was born at Peramum, in Asia Minor. He spent some years at Alex- andria and lateir went to Roane, where he wrote a work on anatomy and even perforn•ed dissections upon animas. He oonsidesed that disease was largely basedupon the four ]rumors of man—bile, blood, Phlegm, and block bile—which were regarded as related to (but not identical with) the four elements—fire, air, eartlh., and water— being supposed to have characters similar to these. Thus, to bile, as to fire, were attri- 1 buted the properties of heat and dry- ness; to blood'and air those of heat and moistness; and finally black bile, like earth, was said to be cold :and dry, Galen supposed that an alteration in the due -proportion of • these humours gave ria'e to disease, though he did not consider this to he its only cause. Thus cancer, it was thonght, might re- mit.fromran excess of black bile, and rheumatism from an excess of pbl'egiin. lqe 'regarded olid age as resulting from a dtm sa tion of the fiery and aqueous elements. Hence the neces- sity of keeping. old steeple warm and 'giving them hot liquids to consume. Where Female Rights Prevail.
