The original meaning of these family names had nothing to do with the word "cleave" in either the sense ot cutting or clinging. The source is en- tirely different, and lies in the new obsolete word "clavlger." The "clavlger" of the middle ages, under the Anglo-Norman system of government held a position similar to those of the modem city or state trea- surer and custodian ot public docu- ments combined. Technically he was the "key-bearer," for that Is what the word "clavlger" meant. And the key he bore waa that ot the public trea- sury. He was the custodian of public moneys and documents, the official who was responsible for their safe- keeplwg, though not for their collec- tion or expenditure. There Was a Robert Clavynger on the medieval parliamentary lists, but the still older forms of the name are to be found In such entries as "John le Clavier," "Henry le Claver" and "John le Clavour." Public offices in those days general. ly were held tor life, as the most usual and effective way of removing an of- ficial from olfice was to remove him foiillfe. Thus in many instances these tlttos stuck long enough to the individ- ual, and were even handed down with the office from father to son, to be- come family names. HUTTON Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" A locality, also a characteris- tic. This is a family name, which, If one judged it by one of Its meanings alone should be classified as a variation of the names Houghton and Haughton, for in a large number of cases It Is de- rived from a place name which means "high-town." Both the place and the name, however (which ia Hutton), have an identity distinct from those concerned In the origin of the names Houghton and Haughton. But there is another derivation of the family name, from the old Nor- man-French word "hutaln," meaning "proud." The mentioti of such char- acteristics as this In connection with a man's name, to distinguish him from some other man with the same given name, was quite common In the middle ages. At that period, just prior to the devetopment ot family names and co- incident with it, populations were in- creasing BO rapidly and shitting as well, and the same given names were applied to so many persons, that some further method of differentiation, such as DMntion ot the place whence a man had come, or ot some personal char- acteristic ot his, was the rule rather than the exception. Those who can trace their ancestry back to a form of the name prefixed either by "re" or "le" wlU have no dif- ficulty in determining whether their family mimes develop from the place name or the nickname. The "de" in- dicates the former and the "le" the later. A Raw Deal. "I understand the City Council has turned down the meat-inspection bill." "Yes; I heard they'd cooked it, but I'd say it's a raw deal." A Warning to All Mothersl llal-jh'a father is a doctor, and Ralph likes to get hold ot an old medi- cal case and a hat of his father's and play that he Is a doctor also. One day when the telephone rang be called out, "Somebody wants me!" and, catching up the hat and case, hurried out the door. "Come back and shut the screen door,** called his mother. Ralph obeyed reluctantly. When he returned a bit later he looked solemn. "Well, how<did you find your patient. Dr. Ralph?" his mother inquired Jocularly. "Dead," the boy replied accoslngly. "Died while I was coming back to shut that door." Manufactured by imperial tobacco company of Canada limited. No Brains Needed in Falling in Love. Science makes another discovery. No great amount of brains is required for falling in love. Most of us had suspected it, but a scientist tries to prove It. He used 200 pigeons. From these he removed the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that is suposed to do the thinking for folk. The pige- ons recovered from the operation and kept on • billing and cooing. The scientist adyanced the experiment. He removed more of the pigeons' brains. He found that of all Instincts the love instinct seemed to function on the slightest amount of brain matter. So much far science and love. Lov- ers needn't feel badly about it. While the experiment indicates that no brains are needed to fall in love it doesn't prove that being in love indi- cates a lack of brains. Love may not be amenable to reason, but it Isn't necessarily feeble-mindedness. If so, it is a pleasant form ot insanity â€" sometimes. Will a Good Pure Bred Sire Pay? A bull will sire anywhere from one hundred to several hundred calves during his lifetime. Suppose we place the number ot calves at one hundred, and suppose the calves by one bull are worth an average of $5.00 per head more than the calves by another bull, what would this mean? It would mean that one bull would be worth to his owner 1500.00 more than the other bull, except the small difference in interest on investment. If the difference in value of the calves were $10.00 per head, the differ- ence in the value of the bulls would bo $1000.00 and correspondingly greater for wider differences in the value of the calves. There are cases where steers by a good bull have brought $50.00 per head more than steers of the same age by Inferior or scrub bulls. These figures should make any man pause before buying an interior bull merely because the price Is low. It Is true that merely paying a high price tor a bull does not make him a good one, and exceMent bulls are of- ten bought at very modest prices; but it Is equally true that really good bulls are always worth the money paid for them, while inferior bulls are dear at any price. No man can afford to use a scrub bull. A good bull at $1,000.00 is cheap- er than a scrub bull received as a gift, as the figures given above amply prove. It is also worth noting that steers by good bulls have "topped" the open market in Canada and the United States, and still hold several open market high price records. Surely the thoughtful farmer will see to it that the bull he uses in future must be a good pure bred, and the result will be more beef, more milk, and more profit. ' The bars of a grate often have a burned and ug'ly appearance, which prevents their taking a good polish. This difficulty is soon overcome.

RHEUMATISM AND LUMBAGO ARE BANISHED BY Dr. Williams' Pini^Pills •JEK They Give New Vitality â€" and more. Some diseases give Immunity from another attack, but rheumatism and lumbago (which Is really muscular rheu- matism) work Just the other way. Every attack invites another. There Is scarcely any disease which physicians find more dlfllcult to treat successfully than rheumatism. Lon« â- tady. however, bas shown that the seat of the disease is In the blood. By maintaining tbe quality of the blood, you are doing the best possible thing to prevent and combat rheumatism. That Is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills has proved sue- oessful in thousands of cases of rheumatism and lumbago. These pills enrich the blood and enable it to throw off tbe poisons of the disease. And so long as the blood Is kept pure and rich, there need be no fear ot a return ot the trouble. Mrs. Annie Wright. Woolchester. Alta.. says:â€" "I was a sufferer from rheumatism tor six years and most of that time my life wa.<! one ot misery. I tried several doctors but never got more than temporary relief The trouble seemed to affect my whol«> system. Finally I was advised to try Dt. Williams' Pink Pills and through these I found complete relief. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone STtffering from (his trouble." Pragmatism. Elclipses ot the sun In China, as is well known, are greeted by the popu- lace with a great beating of drums, kitchenware, wooden rattles and other instruments ot precussion. for the pur- pose of frightening away the dragon that is preparing to swallow the sun. Is this superstition or science? After all, the brass kettle aud the firecrack- er as an antidote to solar catastho- phes have worked. The Chinese have been handling eclipses for five thous- and years, and there Is no record of a single Instance In which the sun tailed to reappear. Very few laws of science are based on data that have stood the test of anything like five thousand years. Plunger Tire Safeguard.

"How do you know the lady Is re- markably wealthy?" "By her conversation," replied Miss Cayenne. "But that does not indicate, extra- ordinary advantages." "Oh, ye.s it does.
