Source â€" Geographical. The family name of Manning nms true to form In Its origin. It is a pe- cularity of tb« host of name* which the Invasion of WlUam the Conqueror threw Into the EngU&h language that •n exceptionally large percentage of them take their origins from geo- Kraphlcal source. This Is natural and easily under- Btood when the circumstances and con- ditions under the Norman conquest took place are considered. The Anglo- Saxon population of England, prior to that time, was not more than a very few million, less than a tenth of what It la to-day, England was a land of open countryside and little hamlets. The communities were «o small that men needed no family names^ Occa^ slonally a man would add a descriptive name or adjective to his title to dis- tinguish him from a neighbor who hap- pened to have the same name, and thla was all that wae necessary. But when William gathered his hosts for the invasion of England he gathered them from all Normandy, and the natural method of avoiding con- fusion was to refer to Hugo, of "thla city," and Rudolf, of "such-and-such a place." No doubt the Anglo-Saxon army did the same thing. But It was scattered. The Normans were not. They settled themselves in a strange land and kept the tiea of mutual de- fence and intercommunication close. Hence, with the necessity for such dis- tinctions still existing, such names tended to p6ri>etuate themselves. , Manning is simply a shortened form of Mainwarlng, which, as pronuncla.- tlon went In those days, was pretty close to the Mont Guerin of the Nor- mans. Were Robert de Mont Guerin ("de" meaning "of") alive to day, he might be Bob Mainwarlng, Mannering or Manning. 3=33CaES3|v THE CHILDREKTS HOUR ROTHCHILD. Variations â€" FortMcue, Racial Origin â€" Qerman. also Norman' French. Source â€" N icl<name. It is probably (tretching the point to list of names of Rothcbild and Fortes- cue as variations. Yet it is permiss- ible if you regard the names as types rather than individual eurnames. Roth- child and Fortescue are not the same name. They do not come from the same source. Yet they %t» the same kind of names. Rothchild Is German. It means "red shield." Fortescue la a Norman- French version of Latin "de Fortes- cuto" or "strong abield." In the same classification belong such sobrlqyets to be found in English history as "Brownsword" and "Strongbow." It was the first Norman E^rl Strongbow who made the first serious Inroads of I his race in the congueet of Ireland. The first Rathchild was evidently so named because he bore a red shield : in battle. There are evidences of In- I dividual warriors in the Middle Ages j who chose for some reason to abandon j the heraldic designs to which they I were entitled and go forth into battle, i as It were, incognito. Nevertheless, I such Instances are rare enough to war- I rant the assumption that very few I families can trace their names to such sources. The more likely explanation la a commerci£.l one. Merchants and inn- i keepers of the Middle Ages were wont to place outside their buildings vari- ous signs and designs by which they could be recognized by a populace which could not read. Undoubtedly many merchants in various parts of Germany came to be known as "Isaac i at the Red Shield" or "Morltz of the Blue Horse" and the like. The custom was as common throughout Europe as it was in England, and as' most of the ; Rothohilds belong to the Jewisli race, j which always has been a leader in the I commerce of the nations In which it is j found, the evidence Is overwhelmingly j in favor of this explanation.

Rudyard Kipling was entrusted with the task of selecting names for the •treets of the British Empire Exhibi- tion beln« held at Wembly. Devising names la never quite so easy aa it sounds, and the promoters of the ex- hibition display a very proper â€" and Very British â€" ^unwillingness to des- cend to the American ignominy of numbering the streets. In fact, the only way to have a street properly named is either to give the national spirit a chance '^ xork through a couple of :;tjnturies or else to hand the Job ovpr to a genius. Not having the centtiTles to spare, the directors of the exhibition picked out the moat available genius-. The choice of Mr. Kipling, who has »pent his life as the doughty pamphle- teer of tb« Empire, could hardly be bettered. He has not confined him- self to such common appellations as â- â€¢road," "street," and "avenue," though 'all these occur. The visitor to the ex- hibition will tread the pavements of King's way and will doubtless want to eitroU down Drake's way and Dominion way. He will certainly find it Interest- ing to visit Pacific slope, and it he is not allured by that Farway of the Five Nations there Is really no hope for blm. He had better stay at home and sot visit the exhibition at all. land, one which dates back for hun- dreds of years before America was even discovered!

For twenty years Dr. Davidson has been Arch- bishop of Canterbury. Fifty years ago he was a huml)Ie curate in the North of England. Being a Scot, Dr. Davidson is gifted with a keen senee of humor, and Is quick at repartee. At a certain ec- clesiastical luncheon one of the guests remarked : "Now to put a bridle on our appetites," when Dr. Davidson retort- ed: "Do as you pleas'e, but I am going to put a bit between my teeth." Knew What He Was Up Against. Lord Readingâ€" better known to fame as Sir Rufus Isaacsâ€" recently tftld the story of his first brief. He had been retained to defend a man, a sti-eet trader, who had been summoned for selling bad figs. Mr. Isaacs, as he then was, expatiated at length on the quali- ty of the fruit, and In this he was, as was only natural, backed up by his client. Presently the magistrate in- tervened. "Had either of them tasted the fruit?" he asked. They both con- fessed that they had not. Whereupon the magistrate suggested that either the defendant or his counsel should •at some in court. Mr. Isaacs turned to hiB client: "Go on," he whispered; •at one or two." "What will happen If I don't?" whispered the other In reply. "Youll lose the ciw."

These Tablets are equally good for the newborn babe or the growing child and are absolutely .safe. They cannot possibly do harm â€" always good. The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which regulate i the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus relieve baby of any of the minor ills of childhood such as consti- pation, indigestion, colds, colic, etc. Concerning them Mrs. Arthur Fillion, St. 'Sylvestre, Que., writes: â€" "Baby's Own Tablets have been of wonderful benefit to my baby who was suffering from constipation and Indigestion. I always keep the Tablets on hand and would advise all mothers to do like- wise." The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cent a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvillr, Ont. A Condition Following Indoor Confinement of Winter. There are very few people who do not need a tonic at this season of the year. The reason for this is that whether in the home, the office or the factory, people have been living throughout the long winter months in an atmoerphere more or less vitiated, and as a result find themselves not up to their summer-time health. Through the long months of winter your blood has been growing tin and poor. Closer confinement and lack of exercise have used it up and exhausted it. You are not as energetic as you could wish. Your work tires you and perhaps your digestion is none to good. Your nerves ' may be ahaky and your appetite poor. All these things point to poverty of the blood. It ia a scientific fact that if the blood of the strongest is tested in the spring there Is less of it and it is poorer than it was in September. The spring medicines of our grand- mothers â€" sulphur and molasses, salts and the like â€" recognized the necessity for aid at this £eaon, but were an un- scientific attempts to cleanse the blood. Modern medical science has found a better way. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood at the first dose and at every doee afterwards. Thus they strengthen every organ of the body and give new vitality to the Jaded system. Here is proof. Miss Clara Cheslock, High Falls, Que., says: â€" "I was In a much rundown condition and my blood was thin and poor. I. must thank you for the good they did me. 1 never enjoyed better health than I have since I took them." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by maU at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Hm Cm^ Mwi oUspui.

Cubing In on Odds and Ends. In nearly every country home there are articles that might better be turn- ed into cash. They are STirplus pieces of furniture, such as tables, bureaus and chairs; usually of old style and honest workmanship. Perhaps the fin- ish has been marred; perhaps some other trifling defect has caused them to be put aside in favor of newer articles. When these bits of furniture were cast aside or stored away, they were worth but little. It is unnecessary to point out the advance in the cost of furniture, or the scarcity of the woods The candy man took which were used so freely in the old Kept It Nice. Mrs. Brown was bathing her baby, when a neighbor's little girl came into the room carrying a doll. She watched the process for a few minutes and then said : "Mrs. Brown, how long have you had your baby?" "Seven months, dear," answered the mother. The little girl stole another glance at lier doll, which was very much bat- tered and minus a leg and an arm. "My, but haven't you Icept it nice!" she said, with an envious sigh.

On a great many farms, especially with rough pasture larTd, a flock of sheep is one of the most profitable side lines a farmer can carry. A great many more farmers would keep sheep if the dog menace could be reduced or eliminated. Some ten years ago we surrounded our farm with a woven-wire fence, with several fields cross fenced with the same kind of fencing. Since then â- tray-dog intrusion on our farm has been reduced almost to zero. On neigh- boring farms here with poor outside fences, sheep losses from dogs have been heavy, financially disastrous in cases. We also see to it that our sheep come homo at least every night. To accomplish this we keep a box of salt for them continually at the barn and we oflfer the older sheep a little grain every night and morning, even when pastures are good. Tlii.s brings the! flock home, the older sheep leading. And it keeps them near till after breakfast in the morning. And if a flock of sheep remains at or near home every night, dog menace is reduced. â€" C. H. There are reproaches ' which praise and praises which convey satire. ASPIRIN Beware of Imitations!
