Here is a family name of Cornish origin. That iso to says it is a family name which developed as such in Corn- wall though itmight just as well have been borne in the first instance by those of Angio -Saxon or Norman blood as by those of Cornish -British blood, For by the period ln' which family names were formed in that section of England, Cornwall was by no means exclusively inhabited by descendants of the original Celtic inhabitants,. It is simply one of those family names ,which became such in the first place as a reference to a place of habi- tation. The local geographical name is a combination of the Cornish -British words for the neck of a hill, or pro- montory and for woods, The mean- ing,was' "the woods on the promon- tory." The first of these two words was "col" and the other "colt." 0,, It was natural in the period when most • men bore but on name, to dis- tinguish one from another of the same name by reference to the, locality in which he lived, and so, such family names as these weee built up in the course of time; DUNDAS Racial Origin—Scottish. Source—A locality. Most of the family names of Scot- land, particularly those of the High- lands, are but more or lees modernized clan names or derivatives originally from given names,. In ninny instances, however, for rea- sons of convenience or necessity, farm- liea of'Highland origin have dropped their clan- names and substituted names which originally were descrip- tive of the individual or family by, re- ference to the former place of resi- dence esidence of that individual or family. Dundas is° one, of these Scottish place •nut's which has become a• family name. SATISFIED MOTHERS No • other medicine gives the same satisfaction to mothers as do Baby's Own Tablets. They are equally good Cor the newborn• babe or the growing child and are obsoletely guaranteed to be free from opiates or other harmful drugs. They are e. mild but thorough laxative and cannot possibly do harm. —they always do good. , Concerning them Mrs. See. Ache; Coteau Road, :N.B., writes:—"I. think that Baby's Own Tablets are a marvellous Sraedis eine far little ones. .I gave them to my little girl with such good results that T now strongly recommend them to all mothers.", The Tablets, are sold by medicine 'dealers or by mail at' 25 cts, a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Ten Rules for Long Life. The "Jiji Shimoo," a Japanese news- paper, recently published ten rules which it is said will guarantee those who. follow 'them life for about two cen- turies. They are as follows: Pass as much time t.s possible in the open air. Eat meat,only once a day. Take a hot bath every day. Wear thick woollen garments'. Slee for at least six hours and A ti never more than seven and a half, with the window 'opened' and the roomdark- ened. Rest one day hi seven. Avoid giving way to auger and ex- cessive brain work. Widows- and widsawene should re- xnarry. Work moderately.

'• The women of that far Scotch island—bleak, lone and bare and wildly beautiful—see to it that few webs. indeed are fashioned,- pulled and finished without song. Poor 4n ,all things material, Eriskay is rich in folklore, music and tradition. There are many old, time-honored "waulking songs;" and variations of old ones or beginnings of new ones arise time and again during the waulking. Mls►s Amy Murray, the. American musician, in bier delightful book, Father Allan's Island, rhes described a waulking as she saw and heard it, - Homespun like' the eong itself and some twenty yards in length, --another point of likeness',—the web to be waulked its flung, out, dripping wet, on the waulking board of heavy driftwood planks set up on stones. Ten women sit facing one another on either' side, and when ane of the company strikes, up her "Hi ri Iiu 11 0? (Who will blow the silver whistle?) each of the ten clutches her two fists full to the tune in time to send the web deasil—the way of the sun --round and round. At one she throws' herself to right and Maya hold; at two she brings it up in front of her; at•three. she pushes it off to left; at four she straightens' up again; and 80 on, 'while the cloth being thumped and rubbed and twisted by a score of hardrwoxking hands, grows' hot and shrinks - • Meanwhile the company are giving back their "Ha ra hu o nu i1 o," to which the leader answers, My king's Bon le come to Scotland."—and so they go on with verse and antiphon for some term Couplets. Then the leader strikae into a higher key; the tune goes more quickly; the women work harder, Tien stanzas more, and again the pitch goes up, and the work goes faster still. There ars some fifty .eoup- lets ilt alai toa waulking sang, •at the end of which the wauli ers oatoh their" breath,while the cailleaob (old wo- man) in authority measures' with her Highland yardstick, which is four feet long, hove much the cloth •has.ehrunk and finally declares', "It will take about four or five songs More." It is of course the tune that is the mails Viten; but music is . so instiisotive the folk of Eriskay that they are often unaware, whet► asked' to repeat or impart an air, exactly bow they really} sang it. Their meek' is not to. them a separate art; it is', as Father Allan put the matter, their ."Vinay of doing W'—whatever thing • it is they -do it to music. But words as well es music help to guide action.' "When I am pulling," said the wife of Duncan, son of Donald, son of Calninn, "it 1 ,get a word wrong, the Cloth juat gobe'ell wr•ng!" a HISTORIC FORT WILL BE PRESERVED. One department of the Dominion Government is quietly accomplishing a splendid work for the Dominion which may not be fully appreciated at pre- sent but for which future generations will thank les officials'. It is the His- toric Sites blanch of the Department of. the Interior. Old Port Wellington, near Prescott, has juste, passed into its' hands for preservation. It has an 4n- apiring history dating back to 1812, when it was the main point of communi- cation. between Kingston, and Montreal. " From it went forth a force in 1838 which repelled an invasion. It Was garrisoned again in 1866 at the time of the Fenian Raids' end: 4'n 1886 at the time of the Northwest Rebellion.

NERVOUS TORTURES Irritation by Day and Sleepless- ness at Night the Result. __ There 4s no torture more intolerable than nervousness. The sufferer starts- at tartsat every noise, is shaky and depressed. The least thing producee a feeling„ of irritation, and nights are often sleep- less. Often although in a oompletely exhausted condition, the patient is -un able to sit or lie still. The nerves are in this jaded eondition : because they are being .starved by poor, watery blood and to restore them to a normal condition the blood must be 'made. rich, red . and pure. 1i'or this purpoe no other ruedicine can equal Dr Ile Iiams' Pink -Pills. They acct directly upon the blood; they bring to itthe elements necessary to enrich and purify it, thus bringing new health and strength to run-down, nerve -worn peo- ple. There is no doubt about thia; thousands have testified to the blood - improving, -nerve-restoring qualities of these pills. Among these is Mrs. Aub- rey Coldwell, Melansan, .N.S., who says•:—"I was badly run down and my nerves wen: in a terrible condition. I would start at the least sound and often faint away. I could not sleep at night, and only those who have been in a similar condition can tell what I suffered. At my mother's request, I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after taking there for several months I am surprised at my present condition of good health. My nerves are as sound aa ever; I can sleep well and eat well, and have no more _aint- Ing spells. I can only say that I can- not praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too much for what they have done for me." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a bon from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Water North of Alaska. The chief object of the Arctic ex- pedition which not long ago returned n to Copenhagen. was to settle the ques- tion whether there is. land or a deep sea to the north of Alaska. A sledge expedition was made in March over .the ice, Fifty milee from the coast the partyfound oravices through which they sounded to a depth of 2,640 feet without reaching bottom. Sixty mites further on the result was the same. .Turning then toward the south-' east they found the edge of the con- tinental shelf. The oan'olusion Is that creep water exists north of Alaska, et least to a great 'distance., Running No Risks.

Not Ambitious for Father. A New England man who had at various times been a candidate for public office has a small son about six years of age. On one occasion this lad, who-ha.d been meditating upon the uneertaIn. ties of kingly Existence, asked his' mother: "If the King. of England should die, who would be king?" "The Prince of Wales." "If. the Prince of Wales should die, who would be king?" His mother endeavored to .explain but t'he lad, with a deep breath, ,said: "Well, anyway, I hope dad won't try for it," Borrow- trouble far yourself if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbors.—Mr. Rudyard Kipling.
