Sourceâ€" A given name. O'Snlliran la cne of the most an- cient family names In Ireiand. Where- u. In all the racea of northern Eur- op« which originally had some form of clan or tribal organization, some con- nection can be traced between a large percentage of the nK>dern eumames and the ancient Qom«nclature, the con- nection often la more or less vague, and llke'y to stretch across a gap In hlatory between the abandonment of tlje clan system and the development of the modem S4imame. Thia Is not true of Ireland. Amon^ the Irish there has beedD no gap. By far lh« greater number of Irish samee to be found in Canada to-day trace back in an unbroken line to the clan and sept names. (The sept is a •nbdlvlslonaf theclan). In fact, there are many persons in Ireland to-day who, among their countrymen, are still known to the hereditary chieftains of these ancient lines. Such persons are colloquially known by their surnames wKh the article "The" as a prefix. Thus 'The O'SuUiran la the man who would be the head of the O'Sulllyan clan did modern conditions permit of the actual maintenance of the ancient rystem. The given name from which the nr.me O'SulUvan Is derived is Suilleab- hain, that is, as nearly as it can be re- presented by English letters, for the Irish alphabet and pronounciat.on dif- fers considerably from the English. But the spelling is probably a closer representation of the sound. The pre- f;i "C" Is simply a contraction of "Hua," meaning "the deacendanU of. THACKERAY. Variations â€" Thackery, Thackuray. Thackman, Thacker, Thatcher. Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" An occupation. In the govemassntal and religious records, tax lists and the like of medie- val England such names as "Roger le Thaccer" and "Hobbe le Thechere" are to be found. At that time, of course, the append- ages to the given names for the most part were purely descriptive, signify- ing the trade with which their bearers followed. The trade was that of roof- ing, for with rare exceptions the or- dinary house of the Middle Ages had a thatched roof. Later the same names are met. but here and there minus the "le," sbowing that in seme cases at least they were being used as real and not merely dee- criptiva names. Still later such com- binations as "Walter Thaccer, le Cord- wainer," proved that the name had be- come a family one, and that the said Walter was not a thatcher at al,l though his name might indicate it. The hars-her pronunciation generally developed in the northern parts of England and the softer in the south. Just as the same vord became "church" in the south and "kirk" In the north, or "fisk" in the north and "fish" In the south, or again "dike" in the north and "ditch" in the scuth. The flourishing ending ""ay," later developing in some cases to a plain "y," were simply whimsical or vain endings added In much the same spirit that some names were Latinized to show the learning of thsir bearers.

SPRING IMPURITIES DUE TO POOR BLOOD SPRING WEATHER HARD ON BABY The Canadian Spring weather â€" one { day mild and bright; the next raw and i blustery, is extremely hard on the j baby. Conditions are such that the | mother cannot take the little one out , tor the fresh air so much to be desir- 1 ed. He Is confin^ to the house which j Is often over-heated and badly venti- lated. He catches cold; hU little; stomach and bowels become disorder- ed and the mother soon has a sick baby to look after. To prevent this an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets should be given. They regu- 'late the stomach and bowels, thus pre- venting or relieving colds, simple fevers, colic or any other of the many minor Ills of childhood. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall «t 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Idediclne Co., Brockville, Ont. In 1791 he weighed two hundred and forty-two pounds in boots. In 179S two hundred and twenty-four pounds "af- ter gout," in ISOO two hundred and forty-seven pounds in hat and boots, and later that year two hundred and twenty-nine pounds "after gout." In 1S03 "with gout" he weighed two hun- dred and eighteen pounds. The figures help us to picture those solid men of a century ago. We can see them trotting or mincing or pro- menading with an air, small and large, down the sunny side of St. James Street to weigh themselves before din- ner. A Tonic Medicine a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams' Pink PUls are an all- I year-round - tonic for the blood and ; nerves. But they are especially vala- . able in the spring when the system is ! loaded with Impurities as a result of j the Indoor life of the winter months. i "There Is no other season when the ; blood Is so much In need of purifying and enriching, and every dose of these ; pills helps to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired â€" Dr. ; Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In I the spring the appetite Is often poor â€" I Dr. Williams' Pink Pills develop the I appetite, tone the stomach and aid j weak digestion. It is in the spring that I poisons in the blcod find an outlet in ! disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boilsâ€" Dr. WiUiams' Pink Pills clear the skin because they go to the root of th« trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism. Indiges- tion, neuralgia and many other trou- bles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes en new life that the blood most seriously needs atten- tion. Some people dose themselves with purgatives, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On the other hand. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills enrich the blood which reaches every organ In the body, bringing new strength and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women and children. Try Dr. Williams' Pink PULs this spring â€" they wiU not disap- point you. Sold by all medicine dealers or sent by mail at 50c a box by The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont Worid's Most Ancient Building. It was King Aan-nl-pad-da of Ur. In Measopotamia, who built the oldest building in the world which is still standing. He reigned about 4.500 years before the birth of Christ, and the building is thus about 6.500 years eld. Ur wa.3 the native place of Abraham and the city of Nebuchadnezzar. The King's name and title were leajTied hy the chance discovery of a gold scarabcid bead, en which they w^re engraved. Mr. C. WooHey, leader of the joint expedition of the British Museum and the University Museum of Pennsyl- vania, made the discovery during the excavations, at Ur. The little temple which is the oldest buildins in the world Is at Tel el Obeld, about four miles from Ur.

Lucas found a pair of scales on which during • century and a half many notable men were weighed. Ever since the year 1765 records of iUustrous and also of regal ponderosity have been kept at the place, which Is in St. James Btreet If you want to know how much Charles Lamb weighed in 1S14, writes Mr. Lucas in the Romance of Old Lon- don, I can tell you that when he was thlrty-nlue years old he turned the scale in his boots at on& hundred and twenty-nine pounde, much more that I was expecting. But his boots may have been heavy. I discovered that Lord Byron, who we know was sensitive about his bulk. was weighed many times, first In 1S06, when he was living at No. S, only five doors away; then he weighed one hun- dred and ninety-four pounds in his boots. The realization must have dis- tressed exceed Ing'Iy one who lived In fear of embonpoint even to the ex- treme of drinking vinegar and general- ly mortifying the flesh. In 1811 In shoes only â€" he had got his weight down to one hundred and thirty-seven and a half pounds. Tom Moore seems •ImilarlT to have decreased, f.>r in 1S07 be was one hundred and forty-islx pounds and in 1S09 one hundred and twenty-five. Another famous man, one who also could have had no wish to lose hU deure and who will go down In history •• much for his insolent question aa to the Identity of the Prince Regent -â€""Who's your fat friend?"â€" as for his fiastldlousness in ties, was Beau Brum- m«Il. In 17iiS Brumm'CU stood at one hundred and seventy-two pounds In boots, in 1811 at one hundred and nine- ty-two pounds In boots and frock, and tn 1815 at one hundred and seventy- alCht pounds lu shoes. In 1816 the Beau had to fly from the creditors to CalalA,. None the less there is still one more entry.

Probably In no other part of the world has the labor- ing man such a club as exists In the opera house building in Havana. Th« subscription is high â€" It is two dollars a month â€" but so are wages, and every chauffeur, cigar maker and domcsti'* servant seems to belong to it. The rooms are of marble decor- ated with paintings by famous artists. There Is a school; there is free medi- cal attend'an<:e; and there are benefits at death. The workmen themselves own and manage the building. In the cigar factories the larger rooms are furnished with a high ros- trum from which during working hours readers, paid by the workmen, declaim poUtlcan articles from the dally news- papers or poetry or fiction. On one of my visits the reader wus dealing with high politics at the top of his voice. What he had to say was not flattering to the otherside, ^ I Judged from the stamping of his feet and the sawing and clutching of his disengaged hand. But you could not judge from the im- passive faces of his employers as they rolled their cigars whether they agreed with the newspaper or not. At any rate they must have felt that they were getting their money's worth froLj the reader. His Hearing Restored. The Invisible ear drum Invented by A. O.

We have mcst of us seen It; when doors have been open We have got Just a glimpse of it, cosy and bright. The fire in the grate and the funny old sofa. The lamp shining homeliness over the night; We have turned from our buying a moment to pop Right Into that parlor behind th» old shop. And sometimee there's been a nice clatter of dishes. And sometimes a waft of the hot toast for tea. And sometimes a mingle of relish so toothsome. We have wondered whatever the fragrance could be; • It seemed Just the place for a chat and a chop. That little back parlor behind the old shop. It hasn't fine ornaments, just a few photos. And bowls of Sweet Williams and posies like that, A loud-ticking clock and a bookshelf of prizes.

Of all dangers that beset ships en- gaged in the North Atlantic traffic | there is none so^reat ss that of the | iceberg. I These great floating Islands" of Ice | will s«on begin to drift down from the north, and so well is the peril recog- nized that, in the spring, ships cross- ing the herring pond take a more southerly course than at other times of the year. Icebergs are not only dan- gerous in themselves, but they also cause fogs which hide them and make the risks even greater than they would otherwiie be. The idea that an iceberg could pos- sibly have any use would make the average sea captain gasp, yet one of the biggest of marine industries has been helped considerably by Icebergs, Nearly all the codfish from which are made that wonderful medicine, cod-liver oil, are caught on the Banks of Newfoundland, a vast area of shal- lows which run far out Into the sea. j It is known that this great submarine ! plateau Is composed entirely of rock I and earth dropped by melting ice- ' bergs. The great icebergs come down I from the huge glaciers of the west ! coast of Greenland, and their bases are I full of detritus â€" earth, gravel, and I rock.
