Smmanies and Their Origin DUN LAP Viirlatlons â€" Ounleavy, Ounlevy, Dun- llef, Donleawy, Don-Levt, Deiap. Ratilai Origin â€" Irish and Scottish. Source â€" A given nam*. TW» group of family names had Its origin In the name of one of the an- cient Irish clans, from which all of the foregoing variations have been de- rived In the process of Anglicizing the name. The name Donleavy occur* as na- tive to Scotland, and as the name of B sept in the Clan Buchanan. But while it may have originated from the â- ame given name as the Irish family aame Its source is more or less cloud- ed In obscurity, and the only thing cer- tain Ifl that it had an origin independ- ent of connection with the Irsh clan. The older form of the Scottish name is "Mac-Don Leavy." The Irish clansmen were known as the "MacDunshlelbhe" or "O'Dun- shleibhe." The clan came into being some time in the eleventh century, un- der the leadership of a chieftain named "Dunsleibhe," who was the son of the famous "Eoohaidh," brother of "Maolruanaidh." This "Maolruanaidh" .was the forty-seventh king of "Ulidia," of Ulster, and was slain in the great battle with the Danes at Clontarf in 1047. "Don-Levi" was the peculiar Eng- Ilfih translation of the name adopted by a hranch of the clan, but it was never widespread.

One of the surest signs that the blood is out of order are the pimples common use elthef uncommon or obsolete to-day, and many words and terms which are aaual to-day had not come into general use at the perloi when family names were being formed. Why have we no such English fami- ly name as "Carpetmaker?" Because virtually the only floor covering used in those days was rushes or hay. Why is there no euch family name as "Phy- sician?" Because in those days they were known rather as "leeches," and we have the family name of Leeche or Leach. We have no trade to-day which cor- responds exactly to that form which the family name of Pepper was taken. If we were forming the name to-day from the name of the trade, we would have to call it Spicer or Spicegriuder, though the "spicer" of the Middle Ages corresponded to our modem grocer. ^ "Pepperer" is really the older form of the family name. The pepperers were the grinders and the sellers of pepper, spicialists in that one article of trade. The repetition of the "er" syllable, however, became clumsy on the tongue, and the natural tendency was to shorten it to Pepper, though the reference was still to the trade and not to the article.

Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own Tablets for theis children speak in enthusiastic terms of them.

WHY FISH BITE A River That GeU Rusty. Can yon imagine a river that gets rusty? There is one which Is subject to this phenomenon â€" the , River Oh, which falls into the Arctic Ocean and runs through the north .of Siberia. The Ob contains a great amount of iron. Every year when It freezes over the iron is cut off from the air. The result is tihat the meatal precipitates, or, In other words. Instead of being dis- solved in the water, -becomes a solid. The whole underside of the ice is covered thickly with rns't, and even the fish and other creatures become rusty. In the lower reaches, whwe ice does not form, the water, ordinarily quite clear, becomes cloudy and dis- colored. The whole river, 2300 miles long, becomes poisonous. People living near It have to quench their thirst with melted snow, and most of the flsh leave the river and seek safety la the sea. They are told by Instinct when the time arrives for their annual exodus. In the spring the ice thaws and the air renders the river free from poison. The flsh Immediately return. They swim up the stream in such vast num- bers that they are packed tightly to- gether.

What is neec'.ed when the blood is shown to be out of order Is a tonic which will restore Its missing elements and leave the blood rich and red. For this purpose there Is no other tonic .can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, every dose of which helps enrich tlie blood, drives out impuri- ties, and bring? a new feeling of healtji and energy. Mrs. R. E. Bishop. Haw- thorne Ave.; Hamilton, Cnt.. tells for the benefit of -others what these pills did for her. She says: â€" "I was suffer- ing terribly from scrofula. I doctored with several doctors, but without suc- cess. My complexion was sallow, I had no strength, feeling very weak and languid. My neck was full of lumps called scrofula, and* at times they were very painful. After trying several so- called blood medicines, Dr; Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me and I got half a dozen boxes. .A^fter taking them I found a decided im- provement in my appearance, and to my joy the lumps were disappearing from my neck. I persevered In the treatment, an& finally the only sign left of the trouble was a scar on my neck where one of the swellings broke. Since that time I have been in robust health and heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any suffering from Impure b'iood." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mall at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams'' Medicine Co., BrockvIHe, OnL prise. Or halts new duties for the soul to meet.

Breeders of live stock are facing problems to-day that require expert busijtess-like handling. The high co6t of feed, labor and heavy over-head expenses are matters the average farmer finds confronting him every day. Successful farmers have always real- ized the value of good breedings In live stock. Testimonials from these men are easily obtained and should convince the most skeptical that the only way to beat the labor situation, cost of feed, etc., is to keep only those animals that are bred to produce either milk or beef. , The surveys conducted by Prof. Leitch In the different counties all go to prove that where farmers are using pure bred sires in either beet or dairy herds, they are mating greater in- comes with practically the same Thrift is merely a matter of com- mon cents dollarwiaely «mpIoyed.
