Surnames and Their Origin
MacQUEEN
VARIATIONS—Macqueen, MacSwen,
MacSweyn, MacCunn.
RACIAL ORIGIN --Norwegian - Scot-
tish.
SOURCE—A given name.
The family name of MacQueen
might easily be mistaken for one of
those combinations of an English
word with. the Gaelic "Inas" (equiva-
lent to the • English termination
'sen" ),.which. are met with quite fre-
quently in both Scotland and Ireland.
Undoubtedly the fact that there
Was a word in English spelled "queen"
had some influence on the spelling of
this `family name, however, when it
came to be translated into that Ian-
euege from the•,Gaelie, in ,which the
eerrect spelling . is "MacSuibline."
• The "MacSuibhnes" constitute one
of the Highland clans, although ' .a
small one, indepeedentof but closely
•allied to the., MacDonalds, and like so
every many of the Highland clans, corn--
lug originally from Ireland.
But in the name. of MacQueen is to
be read the history of the days follow-
ing the Irish invasion and :,settlement
of the Highlands, when many of the
IsTorse vikings, driven from home by
civil wars, swooped down- on the
northern and western coasts of Scot-
land and settled there. Ultimately
their, rule was broken by an uprising
of the Scots, but many of them re-
mained, and through intermarriage
left their stamp upon the nomenclature
of the section.
"Suibene" is simply the Gaelic form
for the very. widespread Norse given
name of "Sweyn." Under the vary-
ing influences of. the Gaelic tongue it
has :assumed the variations mentioned
in the heading of thisarticle, all of
which, are borne by one or other of
the septs of the Clan MacQueen.
COOMBE
VARIATIONS Coombes, Coombs,
Combs, Comber, Camber, Coomber,
Kempster.
RACIAL ORIGIN -English.
SOURCE -A locality, also an occu-
pation.
The derivation of this group of fam-
ily names is almost the exact parallel
of that of the Hill group. It is more
puzzling simply because it is the de-
rived meaning of the original word
which has survived in this case in-
stead of the primary meaning. The
word, in the only form in which we
have it to -day, is "comb."
It will be remembered that the
original meaning of . the word "hill"
was hill, and that there was a .derived
meaning, roof, which has disappeared..
The original meaning of the word..
"comb" was a series of ridges and:
hollows of the upper hillsides. This
meaning has disappeared and in our
language to -day we have only the .de-
rived meaning which we "apply. ";to.
various -articles .of` ridgy formation, as
in "honeycomb," "cock's comb," or as
we more instinctively think of it, the
ordinary .hair comb.
The names Coombe, Coombs and
Combs were originally .preceded by
"de la" (of the) or "atte" (at the) to
denote that the person to whom the
surname was applied lived in such a
place. It was spelled "sums,",
"combe," "kembe" or "came," how-
ever, "Combers" and. "Coambers were
sometimes persons who dwelt in such
sections.
But mare often they were those who
followed the occupation of wool comb-
ing, for even in the early middle ages,
about the time family names began
to form, the derived meaning of the
word had already grown upand was
in common use, particularly among
the wool trades, and the surnames
are often found in the form of "le
Comber, "1e Kembester" and "le
Camber."
Window Boxes for Fine
Blooms.
-Where we have a good light and
levant to plant for flowers especially,
.the window box is ideal. It is seldom
that flowers will be aslarge and per-
fect in a pot as, in a window box, for
the soil is kept more moist and bet-
ter aerated, so roots spread widely.
The box need not be more than six
inches deep. The soil should be rich
and mellow and not inclined to run
together or get sour. It should con-
tain'a fairproportion of sand for most
plants;
It isnot best to grow too many sorts
In one box, but a tall plant or two ,
in the middle and a row of lower ,
plants outside,, with a border of trail
ers,will make a pretty box, Your
varieties should be such that blooms
will be produced all winter. Snap-
dragons of some pretty self color for,
the.middle, petunias next, with a )
border of portulaoa or verbenas, make
a•good box of annuals, while a Black
Prince fuchsia in the middle, sur-
rounded by cyclamen and bordered
with Mad. Soleroi geraniums and
"Kenilworth ivy, would make a very
pretty box, and -the contrasting colors
of the cyclamen and geranium foliage
would be pretty whennotin bloom.
Window boxes are especially vela.'
able for the bulbs, Lilies can be i
made to bloom freely in a cool window
if the box is fairly deep and the bulbs
set down pretty well, Violets bloom
all winter and furnish a lot of flowers
to bunch and sell, as well as enjoy.

Bending Copper Tubing.
When bending ' the small copper
pipe or tubing leading from the tank
to the carburetor of the car by the
usual methods, the pipe will Link, or
sometimes even close up when abrupt
turns are made, This can he avoided
by inserting a piece of string solder
into the tubing, after which even com-
plete circles can be made without the -
tubing closing up at all, The solder
pulls out easily after the bend is made,
especially if it has been well greased.
If not, it can be easily melted out.

KING GEORGE OF GREECE
Ide+'is not permitted to leave the
borders of his country for fear he
will • not return. There is a revo-
lution taking place in Greece at the
present time, which may result in
the establishment of a republic,
He never wandered far from his own
town,
The little hamlet where he lived and
died,
And yet his pupils traveled up and
down
The whole wide world of town and
countryside.
He sought no honor to adorn his name
Nor dreamed of crowns that tarnish
and grow dins;
But those he taught achieved undying
fame
And in their triumph hour remem-
bered him.
Be a had not time to mould the wide
world's 'life
Or take .a hand in the affairs of
state;
But others did he send into the strife
And through them helped to shape
his people's fate.
He won no earthly riches for'hiinself.
He had no time to waste in seeking
gold;
But every day bestowed on him a pelf
Of lave whose value never could be
told.

.GOOD RED BLOOD
A REAL NERVE TONIC
Weak, Watery.. Blood the
Source of All Nervousness:
"If people would attend to • their
blood, instead of worrying themselves
ill," said an eminent nerve specialist
"we doctors would not see our con
suiting rooms crowded with nervi
wrecks. More people suffer from
worry than anything else,"
The sort of. thing the specialist
spoke of is the nervous, rundown con-
dition :caused- by overwork and the
many anxieties' of to -day. Sufferers
find themselves tired, low-spirited and
unable Co keep their minds on any-
thing. Any sudden noise hurts them
like a blow. They are full of ground-
less fears, do not sleep well at night.
Headaches and other nerve plana are
part of the misery, and it all comes.
from starved neves,
Doctoring the nerves with poisonous
sedatives is a terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
of rich red blood. Therefore to re-
lieve nervousness and run-down health
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be
taken. These pills enrich the 'blood,
which tones the nerves, improves the.
appetite, gives new strength and
spirits, and makes hitherto despondent
peaple bright and cheerful. If you are
at all "out of sorts" you should begin
taking Dr. Williams' Pink ,Pilus.
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by ..mail at 50
cents a box from. The Dr. Williams

The Last Voyage,.

When all the house is still and dart.
I s1101 steal down and find m,y ship

Nor fear the seas nor any. wind.
I have known Fear, but now no more,
The winds shall bear me safe and

To no strange country shall I come,
But to mine own delightful land;
With Love to bid nno welcome home
And Love to lead me by the hand.
Love, you and I shall cling together,
And look long in each other's eyee,
There shall be rose and violet weather
Under tiie trees of Paradise.
We shall not. hear the ticking clock,
Nor the swift rustle of Time's wings,
Nor dread the sharp dividing stroke,
Being come now to immortal things.
With all those wonders to admire,
And the heart's hunger satisfied,
Given
Given at long last tire heart's desire
We shall forget we ever died.
Oh, in some morning dateless. yet
I' shall steal out in the sweet dark
And find my ship with sails all set

The Breath of Life.
Fresh air is the breath of life. There
is little use in trying to keep well if
we ; do notget abundance of pure,
fresh air to breathe.:
People ss"vhose resistance is weak-
ened by disease and who must fight
not only to keep alive but to ` conquer
the germs of any disease like tuber-
culosis inust have abundance of fresh
air.' For them it is not enough to
spend the daylight hours in the open;
the entire twenty-four hours ,should
be fresh air hours. The windows
should be open or the porch -avail-
able at all times. The tuberculosis
patient who tries to stay in the open
air as much as possible and who faith-
fully :follows the . other directions of
his physician; has the best chance of
recovery.
For those who are well,. good
health is promoted and maintained
by.no better means than suitable out-
door
utdoor exercise and good food. If every
man, woman and young person in this
country` could be persuaded as a mat-
ter of "daily routine to take at least
twelve deep breaths in the open air,
or before an open window ,•every
morning, the residual air in the lungs
would be replacedby fresh air and
more oxygensupplied for the general.
upkeep of the body. The result
wquld undoubtedly be beneficial to
and ;would bring about a
general -improvement in the health

East Wind.
The east wind's fingers prick and pry
About my windows and my door;
The icy breath of him comes in :.
.And creeps along the floor.
The windows chatter noisily;
My fire leaps high, then flickers low;
Along the dim length of the wall
Tho shadows come and go.
I stuff my fingers in my ears
And yet I hear the wind's shrill call;
I close my eyes but still I see
- The shadows on the wall.
The loneliness I had forgot,
The longing I had hid away,
Lay icy fingers on my heart -
1 wish they would not stay.
If you were here we two might sit
All cosily and toast our feet,
Glad of the storm that shut as in
From rain and wind and sleet. .
If you were here, if you were here,
-I know, dear heart, 1 should snot
mind •
The ragged shadows on the . wally
The shrilling of the wind...

Sleighing on the Water.
A. voyage on the Magdalena River,
South America, which formerly occu-
pied 36 days, has been reduced to as
many hours by the introduetion of a
novel motor launch, known as a sea -
sled.
This boat, which is 60 feet long, is
fitted with 800 h,p, petrol engines,
and attains a speed of 34 miles an
hour. It glides over the water rather
than cutting through it.
There is nothing particularly new
in this form of boat, but the craft
concerned is more than a. racing hull
filled with machinery. It carries 66
passengers and their baggage, the
total weight being approximately 10,-
000 pounds, and is able to run in less
than 2 feet of water. A few sea -sleds
of this type are to been in this country.
Avoid the pleasure that holds the
penalty of future pain.
