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!"

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." '

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.
