The name of Ackerman is quite pop- nlafty, and quite erroneously, supposed to be of German origin. It is, how- ever, one of the most Anglo-Saxon of Anglo-Saxon name«, and if the spelling or sound of Aclierman seems to bave more of a German fiavor than the vari- ation Aikman, it mu«t be remembered that the English, Scandinavian and modem German tongues are all Teu- tonic, and that 'at some period in the misty, prehistoric past there was a parent tongue, which, though it has left no written records, has had prob- ably more to do with forming the lang- uages of the modern world than the comparatively. recent Latin and Greek. The various ioxms of this family name would be translated literally in- to modem English by "acre-man." But the literal translation would not be the true one because the word "acre" has changed its meaning since the old Anglo-Saxons spoke of "acer men" or "aker men." To-day it means a definite measure or amount of land. Then it simply meant tillable land generally. The Ackermans, Akerqians, Acher- mans and Aikmang originally were folk who owned or tilled such land. At the period when family nam«s were in formation we find them recorded in such forms as "Harmer le Akerman" and "Roger le Acremaa"^or, as we would put It to-day, "Bill the Farmer." After such names had been apiplied to the members of a family so long that their neighbors came to regard the sobriquets as distinguishing the family rather than explaining their occupa- tions, they naturally began to drop tlie prefixed "the" as unnecessary, so that succeeding generations' comijletely for- got the explanatory meaning of "acre- man," particularly as the word "acre" began to take on a new meaning In the popular sp«ecli. McDOUGALL -M(a)cDougal, M(a)cOou- Varlatloni gald. Racial Origin â€" Scottish and Irish. Source â€" A given name. There are many who bold there is a difference between names wiiich be- gin with "Mac," and that the proper pronunciation of them are "mlc" and "mac," respectively. Such is not the case. "Mc" and "Mac" are the same, and the proper pronunciation of both is "mac." The prefixes both mean the same thing â€" "descendant of." The only difference that does exist is due to the rather general modern cus- tom among the Irish of abbreviating "Mac" to "Mc" in the spelling. So there is an inference, though not an infallible one, that the family which spells its name with an "Mc" is Irish, and the one that uses "Mac" is Scot- tish. The family name of McDougall, in its various forms, probably is more common ,in Scotland than in Ireland, but It is far from being a rarity in the latter country. It is, of course, a Celtic name, and like virtually aid the family names which have developed under purely Gaelic influences, without interference of Anglo-Saxon our Norman influence», is derived from a given name. Unlike other races, the Gaols never took their family names from words denoting geographical location or personal char- acteristics. It is true, however, that the bulk of their given names, from which the family names were develop- ed, were so founded on words denoting some personal peculiarity or attribute. The given name Dugald, from which the various forms of McDougall orig- inated, falls within this classification. It means "dark stranger." coniperation between philanthropic or- ganisations and the Government that has stood the test of twenty-flve years' experience. Each city and county of the piwvlnce has a CbUdren's Aid Society affiliated with and reporting to a central govern- ment office charged with the responsi- bility of supervising children placed In foster homes. Experienced officers acting under the direction of tte cen- tral office are employed to visit the children â€" all expense In doing so be- ing defrayed from a government ap- propriation. Typewritten reports con- cerning the welfare of the children are made to this central office and are in turn trans)fiitted to the Society hold- ing guardianship, with suggestions or instructions that may seem called for, any abuses in this way checked up â€" some children found to be exceptkmal- ly well placed are interfered with as little as possible, and the foster par- ents advis«d to apply for full legal adoption, after which all supervision ceases, and the child becomes, in the fullest possible sense, a member of the family. Over twelve thousand children have, by reaching years of maturity, passed out of the care ot the Children's Aid Society, while at the present time, about eight thousand children remain under active supervision. For these children, wages and savings amount- ing to the large sum of $82,525 are held In trust, payable to the children when conditions warrant â€" with In- terest â€" ranging up to five and a half per cent. Each year about three to five hundred children will be legally adopted under a recent adoption law and in this way r^eased from super- vision. As a result of well recognized sys- tem and vigilance extremely few child- ren are being cruelly treated or ex- ploited by heartless people. This will usually be found true where there Is efficient organization. CUT PLUG BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SPRING The Spring is a time ot anxiety to mothers who have little ones in the home. Conditions make It necessary to keep the baby indoors. He is often confined to overtieated, badly venti- lated rooms and catches colds which rack his whole system. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept In the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. This will prevent colds, constipation or colic and keep baby well. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a hox from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ways A GOOD MEDICINE FOR SPRINGTIME Motion Pictures in Saskatchewan. Agriculture being the basic industry of the province of Saskatchewan, it Is only natural that the Department of Agriculture should make wide use of moving pictures in Instruction work. They are used In all short course work carried on by agricultural representa- tives in th'O province and also by the Extension Department of the Univer- sity oi Saskatchewan in connection with the agricultural courses conduct- ed during the winter at various points In the province. The films exhibited deal with practically all phases ot ag- riculture. Among them are pictures il- lustrating the co-operative marketing of live stock, showing the progress ot the good points of horses, bulls, milch cows, give the observant an education In what to look for â-  when selecting these animals. Farm boys get a lot of useful informatiot. from films of this character, and put it to good use at the farm boys' camps when the live the anlmala from the farm to the stockyards, the care ot poultry and the candling ot eggs, the construction ot trench silos, cream grading, the em- bryology of an egg. Films showing stock judging competitions are la pro- grese. A combination ot the practical and aesthetic Is found in the film showing the proper method ot tree planting, with the object filtrating how farm surroundings can be made more attractive. « ^ Who Invented the Motor- Car? The history of the motor-car begins exactly 230 years ago, when Street, an English inventor, made the first use of oil as a motive power. But It was not until 1S70 that a really practical petrol engine appeared. This was the work ot Julius Hock, ot Vienna. The next name coaected with the progres sot the motor-car Is tho most important of all â€" that of Gottlieb Daimler. In 1883 Daimler made the first small, high-speed petrol engine, tor all those which had gone before had been huge, clumsy, and slow-mov- ing machines. Two years later he in- stalled his engine in a motor-bicycle and at the same time fitted boats with motors and ran them at Paris during an exhibition there. The boats attracted the attention of L>evas6or, another famous pioneer, who at once saw the immense possibilities In Daimler's invention. He bought the French patents from the inventor. Levassor invented a system ot trans- mission â€" that is, a method of bringing the power from the engine to the wheels-â€" and witlx a few small Improve- ments this system is in use to-day.

The ninth day was supposed to be the severest of all, andt since Japanese children are taught that endurcnoe is the founda- tion of learning, we had to be especial- ly ecurnest In our study on that day. My sister was a young lady of four- j teen then and was to be married in the spring. Her dhlef task was sew- 1 Ing. Mine was penmanship. In those { days penmanship was considered to be ; one ot the most Important cultural I studies, not on acccunt of Its art, al- 1 though it is true that there is a fas- cination In making Japanese ideo- graphs, but because Japanese hand- writing plainly betrays the writer's state of mind> especially If it be er- ratic, careless or perturbed; the high- est training in mental control was thought to come from patient practice in the graceful, painstaking brush strokes, which require absolute steadi- ness and accuracy. At the first gleam ot sunrise on the ninth day of Kan, Ishi came to wake me and tell me to iH-epare for my pen- manship practice. The air was ley. She helped me dress. Then I gathered | together the materials tor my work, j arranging the big sheets of paper in a ' pile on my desk and carefully wiping ; ervery article in my ink box with a | square of silk. Reverence tor learning ; Say to your girl the sands are running, was so strong in Japan In those times , Tell her this of old wisdom and cun that even the tools we used were con- sidered as almost sacred. I was sup- posed to do everything for myself on that day, but my kind Ishi hovered round me, helping in every way she could without actually doing the work herself. Finally we -went to the porch overlooking the garden. The snow was deep everywhere. I remember how the bamboo grove looked with its feathery tops so laden with snow that they were like wide-spread umbrellas. Ishi took me on her back, and, pu,sh- ing her feet Into her boots, slowly waded to where I could reach the low branch of a tree, from which I lifted a handful of pure, untouched snow just from the sky. This I melted to mix ink for my penmanship study. I my- self ought to have waded to get the snow, bat Ishi was always humoring me. Since absence ot bodily comfort was thought to mean inspiration of mind, of course I wrote in a room without a fire.

It is well called "the centre of the Bri- tish Empire," for many fateful decis- ions have been made within Its walls. Few people are aware that Downing Street is called after a man named George Downing, who went to America at the age ot fifteen, afterwards re- turning and entering Parliament. He became a baronet, and was a great favorite of Charles II., who gave him the land in Whitehall upon which he built the famous street. Sir Uobert Walpole was the first !
