A Visit to a Rock-Salt Mine BY DAVID M. LBVINGSTON A Prayer. Sweet. I lift this prayer for you Who are dearer than the dew There's a thrill in being lowered down through a black hole into the earth 600 feet One becomes used to ft, they pay, but, believe me, not at once. One morning recently, the big ele- vator lowered In the shaft at the salt mines on A very Island, nine miles southeast of New Iberia, Louisiana, having on board a camera man, who was going down on a special assign- ment to try out a new light. There are no preliminaries nor cere- mony about the descent. The shaft la ture is pleasant, standing around 72 j? to the frail flowers of spring degrees.

Th early stages of nervous debility are noted by restlessness and irrtt bill- ty in which the victims seem to bb op- pressed by their nervea. As the trou- ble advances, common symptoms are a tired feeling; weakness In the Uaees and anklea; headaches, backaches and sleeplessness. Th matter requires Immediate attention, tor nothing but suitable treatment will prevent a com- plete breakdown. The nervous system governs the whole body, controlling heart, lungs, digestion and brain, so that It is not i surprising that nervous disturbances I cause acute distress. For troubles of i this kind Dr. Williams' Pink Pills suc- ceed when other treatment falls, for these pilla make new blood, enriched with the elements on which the nerves thrive, and in ttis way reach the root of the trouble. In proof of this la the statement of Mrs. Dockerill. Stratford, Ont., who says: "My daughter, Matil- da, was suffering from nervous de- bility. and the usual remedies aid not seem to help her. I was advised by a friend to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and soon we found they were doing her a great deal of good. She complained of pains in the stomach, and a severe fluttering of the heart, with a general weakness. Under the use of these pills sh continued to gain, and I believe they have saved her from going into a decHne."

This, j of course, is a polite way of saying ' that he was a first-class technician with a second-rate genius which, how- ever, he developed to an extreme de- : gree by sheer hard work and clear thinking. Genius is rare. Mozarts and Schu- : berts are very scarce in musical his- tory.

Many wills have been made on such ' things as coins, colare, hats, and even ( boots ; but perhaps the most unique was tte will left some years ago by a South of England farmer. A sealed note indicated that his will would be found in a room upstairs. . The room was searched without suc- cess until a woman, noticing that the wallpaper was loose at one corner. placed her hand upon it. and Im- mediately the whole piece fell down. On the back of the paper were written the testator's wishes.

Racial Origin Irish. Source A given name. The correct Gaelic form of this fami- ly name is either "O'Cairbre" or "Mac- Cairbre." As a matter of fact there are four distinct sources of this family or clan name, for there were four distinct and separate clans among the Irish bear- Ing this name. One of them was Vn LelnsDer. Tra- dition has tt that this clan, known as "O'Cairbre," derived its name from a chieftain of the Q'Dwyer line called "Catrbre" and surnained "Clultheach- ar." The give>u name means, figura- tively, "dilef of the chariot." The Oftaly Carberrys were known as "Clan a Catrbre" and thfa name was sometimes Anglicized. MacCarberry. Thie clan was an offshoot of the Col- fttktt The Orglall Carberrys used the pre- fixed "O' " rather than the "Mac." and were a development of the Clan Corri- f*A. There was another "Claon Cairbre" In Ulster, and this one was a branch of the more ancleut clan of the O'Mad- dens. "Calrbre" was a widespread given name among the medieval Irish, as may be gatl&re.l fror.i the fact 'that uo less tip i! fou.' chieftains of thia name a,-,!! i.'.-.:.. ' : ..: .: ctter them. A3HTON Racial Origin English. Source A locality. Until the final and complete list of family names has been made up, and each has been traced definitely to Us source, it will be an open question as to whether there ! a large number of family names originating In England whiich come from localities or from the given names of the fathers of the orig- inal bearers. Here Is an addition to the list of those which have been developed from place names. It Is not passible in the individual case to assign the exact locality from which tbe family name of Ash ton de- veloped. There are so many Asbtons, and in addition there were probably more places whoee names nince have been changed. This name, so far as can be ascer- tained, has been quite regular In Its development. Originally It wa pre- ceded by the Saxon "atte" (meaning "of" or ''from" and "at the") and was used In conjunction with a man's given name simply to distinguish him from others of the same given name. It wae a very natural method of differentia- tion to refer to the place from which a man had come, or the place in which his dwelling was located providing that place was not a large enough com- munity (o houte -others of the same liven name as himself way.

The dealer was charged with selling adulterated milk and he pleaded not guilty. "But," said the Judge, "the testi- mony shows that your milk contained 25 per cent, water." "Then It must be high-grade milk," returned the dealer. "If your Honor will look up the word 'milk' In your dictionary you will flnd that it contains 80 to 90 per cent, water. I should have, gold mine for cream." Copper Ro:flng Copper that was used on some of the most famous buildings of Europe, now centuries old, has never been replaced.
