. SEDROSE and the choicett of Red Rote Teat u the ORANGE PEKOE QUAUTY ^ Sarnames and Their Origm WATKINt Variation*â€" WatMn, WaUrm, Water- •en. WatU, WatWnaon. Racial Origin â€" Medieval French. â- ourcc^A Chrletlan name. As a ftimlly name, of coune, Wat- Una Is a purely BrtUsh product, with a decided Anglo-Saxon Influence appar- ent In the ending, not only of this name, but of all Its variations. The explanation Is this. It was taken to England as a Christian name by the Normans at the time of the con- Quest, and through the several cen- tarlea in which close communication was malntahied between tlie Normans in England with Normandy it l>ecame Quite widespread. It began to develop Into a family name at about what might be called the middle period of tamily-name formation; that is to say, at the period when the Norman popu- llatlon of England decided to consider lUelf English, and the Anglo-Saxon tongue in modified form began to re- assert itselt The Christian name from which it developed was Walter, and the specific person who gave that name popularity on the continent Just prior to the Nor- man invasion of England was a saintly iWalter who lived in the dukedom of 'AQuitanle about the year 990. The 'tooTo famous Walter, famous in the historical sense, that la, St Walter, 'Abbot of Fontanelle in the middle of the twelfth century, probably did not have so much .influence on the popu- larity of the name in England, for by that time the ties with the continent were less strong. The name was often pronounced, and even spelled "Wattere"; and also contracted Into "Wat" The ending "Wn" was the regular diminutive of the Anglo-Saxon tongrue, and the final f'fi" indicates a shortening from the •ndlng "son." CAMPBELL Variationsâ€" Beauchamp, Beecham. Racial Origin â€" Norman French. Source â€" A locality. Campbell is one of those names which we are accustomed to think of as essentially Scottish; and so it Is If we restrict our consideration of It to the history of that particular apell- ing. It is not a native Scottish name, however, notwithstanding the fact that it is approximately 800 or 900 years since it was transplanted there, and that it la clearly traceable through the prominent part played by the clan In the history of that land so far back as the thirteenth century. But in another form It was a family name even before that time. It was the descriptive name borne by one of the lieutenants of William the Con- queror, when he Invaded England from Normandy, and simply was the namo of that warrior's estate In northern France, "Compo Hello," or "beautiful field." Being the name of a nobleman It rapidly became crystallised Into a family name, De Campobello. When the Norman Invasion reached up Into Scotland, a member of this family re- ceived large grants of land. This was in the thirteenth century, since which time the family and the following It acquired has from the very start be- come as Scottish aa any of the clans which trace ' *• to prehistoric days. In the devel 3nt of the French language since tht time of William the Conqueror, "campo" has become "champs" and "bello" has become champ which was brought over to England later, and which alfio develop- ed with the progress In the French language from the original name of De Campobello in England. But the English pronunciation has corrupted It from Beauchamp into "Beecham," which Is the reason that It is some- times found In that spelling. The Social Condition of the Bugs. On the long roll of the Lord Chan- c^ors of England stands the name of Cord Chelmsford, who before he was elevated to the woolsack bore the name of Theslger. In Sir Algernon West's entertain'jig book he tells how young Theslger first attracted to him- self the notice of his profession. He was engaged as Junior counsel in a cajse where the point in dispute was whether a tenant might throw up his lease on finding that there were bugs In the house that "he had taken. Coun- sel on the other side began his state- ment by saying, "Our contention, my lord, is that when the defendant took over the house there was not a single bug In it." "That Is exactly the plaintifTs case, my lord," said Thesiger, Jumping up; "they were all married and had ex- tremely large families." War Increased Illiteracy Among French Youths. Twenty-flve per cent, illiterate â€" that b the war's effect upon the working class youtlis of France, according to examinations In two regiments of con- scripts last month, which showed that only 600 out of 800 could read and write, whereas only 160 had the educa- tion of the average boy of 12. During the war. Instead of continuing their studies, boys of 9 and 10 were recrult- td into factories of all kinds and paid men's wag«s. Naturally, they did not go back to ichool after the war. A movement la under way to compel ill such conscripts to attend special classes, ten hours a week, until the {nenaca to French intellectual prestige Is removed. Less than 2 per cent of kVench soldiers were classed aa de- hclent before the war, coming chiefly from the seafaring folk of Normcndy tnd Brittany. The highest Jumper in the animal world la the black Jaguar of South America, which has been seen to leap from the ground to a branch fifteen feet overhead.

Watch Worn on Wrist is Bit of Congo Vanity. - A Congo black never carries his watch in his pocket, for he's too anxi- ous to have it displayed to public gaie. He wears it on his wrist or cuikle, or hanging about his neck â€" very proud of his European possession. All blacks In the Congo are divided into two classes â€" those who own watches and those who don't. The bright little metal case with its mys- teriously beating heart seems to have a magic influence over its dark-skin- ned possessor. Last year Franco exported to her African possessions, according to a customs report, 889 gold watches, 1,520 silver watches, 7,370 of ordinary metal and 2,928 clocks, including alarm clocks.

NEW STRENGTH FOR WEAK STOMACHS Indigestion Disappears When the Blood Supply is Enriched. The urgent need of all who suffer from indigeation, and who find the stomach unable to. perform its usual function, is a tonic to enrich the blood. Pain and distress after eating Is the way the stomach shows that it Is too weak to perfoma the work of digesting the food taken. In this condition some people foolishly resort to purgatives, but these only further aggravate the trouble. New strength it given weak stom- achs by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills be- cause these pills enrich and purify the blood supply. This is the natural process of giving strength and tone to the stomach, ajid it accounts for the speedy relief in stomach disorders that follows the use of Dr. WlUlama' Pink Pills. The appetlts revives, food can be taken without discomfort and the burden and pains of indigestion are dispelled. Mr. William Johnson, a prominent business man of LequiUe, N.S.. bears testimony to the value of these pills in cases of this kind. He says : "I was attacked with indigestion accompanied by severe cramps in the stomach. I was prescribed for by the family doctor, but got very little bene- fit Then I tried some of the adver- tised remedies but with no better re- sult. Indeed my conditfon was grow- ing worse. Then I read of the case of a man who praised Dr. Williams' Pink Pills whose condition was similar to my own, and I decided to try this mediclns. The result, I think, was amazing, as the use of six boxes re- stored me to my former good health. I can therefore warmly comme..d the use of this medicine for stomach trou- bles.- You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or si-x boxes for 12.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont The Early Risers. Not long ago, writes a coatribator, there appeared is a Btuday paper veraee that ran somewhat aa follow*: Carl J. Fiarley's hair was eurley; Some folks called him eurley Farley; He agreed to plant some barley For a man named Peter Worley. Worley Uked to get up early i "Twas otherwise with eurley Farley; Ha came late to plant the barley, Which made Peter Woriey surly. Worley said, "Now, Mr. Farley, rve been looking for you hourly." Farley said, "I got here fairly Early, though I'm feeling poorly." Worley could not stand to party. At the time was feeling burly; So he landed fair on Farley, Knocked him through the gates called pearly. The versee bring to mind the real Peter Worley, who was the original early riser. He and his hired man, ; Louis Bunsen, were putting out a crop | in White River bottoms, and, since their house was near the railway, they could tell the time pretty well by the : trains. No. 4, which passed at half' past three o'clock in the morning, was aa convenient as an alarm dock. | Louis Bunsen was a hungry-looking man who apparently never got enough to eat Hilda, Worley'f wife, la'.l mora than once, "If I could only get . that man SUed up, Td be satisfied." One night after Worley heard a train go by he called Hilda to get breakfast Then he and Bunsen rush- ed off to the bam to feed and water the teams. When they came back breakfast was ready, and they all sat down to eat i "Somehow I don't feel hungry this ' morning," remarked Bunsen Uatlessly. Hilda looked at him in unfeigned surprise. j "You're not olck, are you, Bunsen T" ' she said. | "No,"roplied the hired man; "lust; don't feel like eating. I wonder why it lan't daylight yet 7" Then someone looked at the clock; it waa Just half past eleven! The sup- posed N'o. i had been a returning ex- cursion train.
