Surnames and Their Origin
COLQUIT
Variations—Colqulte, Coi.quoit.
,Racial Origin --Cornish,
Source—A focal name.
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."

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.

Web and Song.
"A songless 'web is unlucky," runs
the eaying in Eriskay. '• 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

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. The
upper picture shows the entrance to :tbe fort and the lower picture part of
the wooden stockade. It reniainer much the same as when it was built.
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

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
