Surnames and Their Origin : ! SEWARD Variations Seaward, Saward. Racial Origin English. Source A given name. You might think from the spelling, | Seaward, that the origin of this family | name is obvious, that It meant "sea- \ warden" or "sea-guardian" either in i its first use as a surname, or at least In its meaning as a given name, if it ; had been a given name prior to this. It was at one time a common given i name. But its meaning was not "sea- warden." In fact, It had nothing what- ever to do with the sea, though it was a name which developed its greatest i popularity in a sea-loving race, the Danes, who, like the Norwegian vik- i Ings, harried all the coasts of North- ; era Europe and est. blisheC many set- < tlements. It really meant 'guardian of vie- i tory," the first f yllable coming not I from tho root "sea," but the root ; "s-leg." which appears in so many old Teutonic names. But though very popular among the Danes at the time of their invasions and settlements of ; England, it was also to be found '. among the Saxons themselves, and ' even the Normans.

But like that of Seward, however, it conges from a siven name, in fact, from a given name with almost the 1 same meaning as that from which the family name of Seward'took its rise.

An amus-ing story of those days, says a writer, came to my mind when I heard that a gold sovereign had recently been found at the foot of the high grass bank near No one could administer a severer rebuke in fewer wcrds than Queen Victoria. Her censure 6* the prince did not last leng, but when the prince left her his eyes were filled with tears of mortification. How deep an impression Queen Vic- toria had made on her gran-lsoc may be judged from tte fact that years the southern boundary wall of tte palace garden, j later when the sovereign was found The date of the sovereign shows j His Majesty admitted to a member of that it was undoubtedly one that King ' his household that he should long George's grandmother bad presented to him when he was a boy of Qve. At that time the court was at Bucking- ham Palace. One afternoon a nursery footman took Kiug George over to see Queen Victoria. After tea and a chat she gave her grandson a new sove- reign and bade him go into the garden and play there for half an hour and then come back and say good-by to her. Now. the sport that the prince most eaijoyed whenever he visited the gar- dens at Buckingham Palace was roll- ing down the green banks. But since that kind of sport was exceedingly damaging to his clothes he had been forbidden to indulge himself in it. Now the temptation to h*ve another good roll was too much for the prince; eo as soon as he reached the gardens he went straight to the bank and kept running up it and rolling down it for half an hour. Then he went back to the palace and. after brushing himself carefully, went to bid his grandmother good-by. On reaching Maryborough House a short time later, he discovered that he had lost the sovereign: but he knew that, if he told anyone of his loss. Tie should ';..' to tell how he had been aniusin; hiuuse-lf. He decided to say ncthittg al>out it.

No branch of marine teg veering '.* quite go full of romance as salvaging. Saving a vessel that has gone ashore is much like saving a life. and. as tnl the medical profession, Ingenious aadl startling mcuns are sometime.? em- ployed Tte case of the Suevlc, a' twelve-thousand ton passaager liner, is a good example of what a salvage crew can do. Tte vessel went ashore on the rock- bound coast of Cornwall and lay ex- posed to the full force of any gale that might arise. Arriving on the scene. the salvagers found that her nose was being pinched as In a vUe and that she was bumping forward so heavi'y that her fcrepeak soon resembled a punctured tin kettk-. The rest of her was free from the rocks; but a gale would probably break her in two. There seemed no hope of saving the entire vessel; but if the gale held off. the salvagers thought they might save the after part. Many days of anxious calculations followed. Finally a string cf dynamite cartridges inclosed in rub- ber tubes was passed round the stricken ship just forward of the bridge. The tubes were to protect the bulkhead at that point and yet allow the explosion to be effective. The pro- ject was novel and delicate. As a re- sult of it. however, the after two thirds of the Suerfc, which contained the machinery, fell back from the bow third of her and was towed safely away from the rotks and oat into deep water. Witi the assistance of tugs, but un- der her own steam, the two thirds steamed stemforemost more than one hundred miles to a port with a dry dock. A new bow was bailt on a slip- way in the usual manner. When the stern two thirds was properly pre- pared for the splicing they let the water into the dry dock. Then the new bow section was nursed in and gradually warped up until it was dead in line with the after section. The water was then pumped out of the dry -dock. The two parts were drawn tight together so as to bring the holes in the strakes, or plates, of the new bow exactly over the ho>s of tie cor- responding plates of the stem section. The rivets were driven horn*. The splicing was dace so earvfuily That you could not distinguish the joint. When water was let into the- dry dock the Suevic floated once more as a whole ship. A new life stream of steam circulated through her engine, her steel muscles moved once more, and she left as sedately as on the day that she was built. Kom<iace of the sea? What more can anyone wish?

In country districts from 500 to 700 words are enough for th ordin- ary need* of conversation, white habi- tual readers of newspapers and good. books, collect a vocabulary of from 2,000 to 3,000 words. Trades and professions may greatly increase the vocabulary of the per- sons engaged in them. Thus, some 4,000 words have been added to the dictionary to describe electricity and its kindred ceeupu:: . N r.s. Artists and doctors use technical and scientific terms that increase the number of the words they use by 500 or 1.000. Authors often use 5,000 words or more.

It has been estimated that the loes suffered yearly through the decay of wooden surfaces is rur in excess of the annual fire lo*s. Tho best ex- amples of the value cf Paint as a pre- servative are- the many farm, bulMiags still existing throughout the country which are over a century old and are still in splendid condition. It is actually true that wood will last in- definitely if kept well painted. Paint saves by protecting and at the *ame time it fot?rs self respect, through improving the appearance of our property. Farmers who doubt the value of Paint may gain ec'.igtten- tuent from the fact that bankers will loan from 10 to 50% more on land where farm buildings are well painted and kept in good comiitioti than on land where they are not.
