Racial Origin â€" Anglo-Saxon and Nor- man-French. 8ourc*^TItle« or nickname*. The moat puzzling of all family names to those of modern times are the ones which are founded on words of relationship. With the excepUon of "son" used as an ending, we won- der how such words as child, brother, father and the like could be used to designate or differentiate one family from another. A proper understanding requires a recognition of the fact that_the. mean^ Inga a« well as the spellings of wordsi suffer changes in the course of time. ' "Child," for instance, was pf ten a title • In those days, and even to-day we put , various shaides of meaning Into the _ words son "soony," and brother In ad- dressing people coUoquially. • All of the foregoing variations, with 'the exception of Beauflx and Beaufltz, â-  which are not nearly so common to- â-  day, have meanings which are obvious. â-  ;The word "bairn" Is In use to-day In , , Scotland, the reecendant from the same Anglo-Saxon word which gives ' ,vaa "bom." It means "child." ' Parents often call their children •j"»on," "child," "brother" and the like. â-  In many Instances such names stick ' within the family at least. In the middle ages communities were small- er, and speech was less formal. Hence they sometimes stuck as regards the entire community, and when the bear- ers in turn grew up and had children the latter came to be known as "Palr- child'e-sons," "PairchIld's-«onsv" etc. L>ater, shortening Influences elimin- ated the Ending "son." "PItz," as has been pointed out be- fore was the Norman-fVench equiva- lent of the Anglo-Saxon "son," and was formed through the influence of Teutonic tongues on the Latin "flllus." ' Indeed, even after the Normans came • to England_they often sipelled It "fll»" r Instead of as they pronounced it. The I names Beaufltz and Beaufix mean ,"talr child" or "fair son." But they •re really met with as family names in this country to-day. iNVEsmiEins By Edgar A. Gueet I have CKMne extra dollars which were better saved than spent And so I'll buy a gUt-edgied bond to earn me 4 per cent.; I'll call that an inwstment, 'tis a term all bankers use, But one which money-minded men so frequently abuse. Not all investments pay in gold ; some pay in peace of mind And some in happy memories of days when we were kind. Life gives us countless dividends in payment for our deeds, The marigolds are coupons which we cut from planted seeds, The good will of our neighbors is a joy which we collect From having neighbored with them in a way they could respect. Our children are investments, too, in which our worth shall' show, For seldom 'tis by luck or chance good men and women grow. We are investors, one and all, by each a choice is made ; Some risk their lives in art and some invest them in a trade. And who shall give his best to life shall reap his dividends In peace of mind and happiness, the love and trust of frieads ; But who invests in selfishness, in cunning or in shame. Shall find, however filled his purse, he's played a losing game. Bleak poverty of spirit is a failure that is worse Than ^e error of wrong judgment which brings poverty to purse. For money may be squandered and a stock not worth its cost. But a good name lives forever and a kind deed's never lost. So I'd invest my hands and brain in all life's finer things And seek the compensation which that sort of venture brings. ADAMS Variations â€" Adam, Adamson, Mac Adie, MacKeggle, Ayson, Addison Atkins, Atkinson, Adkins, Adklnson Adie, Edie, MacEsson. Racial Originâ€" English and Scottish. Source â€" A given name. The family name of Adams is, of coursse, a shortened form of Adam- son, or "Adam's son." This Eumame, together with the many variations which have been formed from the medieval diminutives of the given name, is anusually wide- spread, because the given name Itself was far more common In the Middle Ages than it Is to-day. The medieval English were a sturdy, simple folk, comparatively . few of whom could read, and so they lacked the modem facilltlee to search through the Scriptures for names for their children that the modem ability to read, coupled with the development of printing, would have given them. There was little Incentive to learn to read, since books could be produced only by handwriting and were exces- sively expensive. Hence they got their knowledge of the Scriptures by word of mouth, and naturally the name which ^tuck- In their memories were those connected with the most dramatic passages. Naturally the story of the creation w&c among the most prominent, which explains why the name of Eve as well as Adam was so popular. "Adcock" was a diminutive of the given name. It became a family name, aa "Adcockson," and was Anally short- ened again to Adcock. "Ad" and "Ad- kln" or "Atkin" were also forms of the given name, giving rise to Addi- son. AdWna, Adklnson, Atkins and At- kinson. The Scottish or Celtic form of the given name was "Adhamh." A sept of the Clan Gordon bears this name, tracing It to Adam de Gordon, Anglo- Norman founder of the clan in the twelfth century. MacAdam is a sopt name'in the Clan MacGregor. Xhe Clan Aid, or MacAdie, Is a branch of Fergusons. Adamson, Ayson, Esaon and Mac- Keggle, all of which are said to be de- rived from the given name of Adam, are septs of the Clan Mackintosh.

There was one, however, who re- fused to be despondent. He sang near- ly all the time, and tried to crack Jokes with the chief mate. Suddenly he jumped up. "What's that?" he shouted, excited- ly, pointing into the distance. "Isn't that land over there?" The mate's gaze followed the point- ing flngsr hopefully, but the light died out of his eyes as he said, dejectedly, "No, that's not land. It^ only the horizon." "Weil, hang it," said the optimist. bending to his oar, 'that's better than nothing. Let's pull!" No Wonder Health Gives Out and She Becomes Weak and Despondent. It Is literally true concerning wo- man In the home that her work Is never done. She starts with house- work when she rises in the morning and is kept busy up to the time she retires at night. The work must be done whether she is feeling well or not. It is no wonder that she often breaks down under the strain. She becomes breathless at slight exertion, feels exhausted If she walks up stairs. Headaches and dizzy spells become frequent, and life seems a burden. JIuch of this trouble is due to the tact that her blood has become thin and watery, and to regain her good health she must take a reliable blood-enrlch- Ing tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The great value of this tonic medicine la shown by the statement of Mrs. Mary Nolan, Lintlaw, Sask., who says: â€" "When I besan using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was a physical wreck. It was with great difficulty that I could do light housework. I suffered from headaches, my heart would beat violently at the least exertion, and I always felt tired and depressed. I did not sleep well at night, and I had no appetite â€" my limbs w-'uld swell as in dropsy. It was at this stage that a neighbor advised me to take Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I had used the pills for some weeks before I began to feel their beneSt, and thus encouraged I continued taking them for several months, when I was again as strong and well as ever I had been. I have no hesitation In saying that these pills are a remarkable blood builder and strength renewer and I shall ever be grateful tor what they did tor me."

The ease with which they are given, as compared with liquid medicines, will appeal to every mother. None is spilled or wasted; you know Just how big a dose has reached the little stomach.

Mrs. Rose Voyer, WlUimantic, Conn., saya: â€" "I used Baby's Own Tablets In the Canadian Northwest and found them a wonderful medicine for child- ren's troubles, especially Indigestion and constipation. I have also given them to my children for simple fever and the restlessness uccompanyftig teething and they always gave relief. I can recommend Baby's Own Tablets to all mothers."

After the Czar had abdicated, a stout old woman was seen leisurely walk- ing down the middle of one of the busiest streets in Petrograd, at no small peril to herself and to the great confusion of traffic. A policeman pointed out to her that there was a pavement for pedestrians, and that the streets were for wagons i^d autom<k biles. But she was not to tie con- vinced. "I'm going to walk Just where I like,", she said; "we've got liberty now." You cannx>t help having some sym- pathy with that old dame. She didn't understand what liberty was, but she had had little chance of learning in that land of tyranny. Liberty was a new thing to her, like a new toy. She didn't know how to use It, but she wanted to see what it felt like. She had got liberty, and surely she could walk where she pleased. She didn't see that, if everybody walked or drove Just where he pleased, heedless of any body's Inconvenience or danger, the result would be chaos. To get along at all there must be rules of the road that limit our right to do as we like, The woman hftd not thought It out. The golden age had come, and ahe wanted to feel Its reality, to show that she was unmistakably free. When we a»sert our right to "do as we like," to "live our own life," we are as thoughtless as- this old dame In the streets of Petrograd. Freedom is not a question of doing as we like; It is rather a question of doing as we ought Liberty is a responsibility be- fore it Is a right. Freedom Implies voluntai-y obedience to the moral law.

The popularity of the brass band as â-  a necessary part of a big â€" or a email- er â€" industrial settlement is evident In the fact that there are thousands of such bands in Great Britain and i .\merica. And the band contests of both countries are famous. By now. with the calibre of the brass instru- ments so much injpa-oved by invention their powers are greatly expanded and all classes of music are possible to â-  them. The advance both In the stand- ! ard of music In use by bandsmen and in their performance of it. is one of. the most striking features of musical progress.

It Is no Joke being a census official In Kenya Colony, where, according to recent reports, the natives have ob- jected to the enumeration of the popu- lation because they think that it is unlucky to count themselves or tbefr wives. In other countries the counting of heads has sometlmeH presented difll' cultles. The first Chinese census showed a total population of 28,000,- 000. It was taken to serve as a basis for the imposition of a poll-tax. Some years later another census was taken, the object this time being to organize the provision of relief in a period of famine. Tho population had grown to 105,000,000. Probably the most remarkable cen- sus ever taken was that the results of which are contained In Domesday Book. It gives a complete and living picture of the England of that tfay, and has been described by one authority as unique. The Information It con- tained, however, was not always given willingly. Infinite trouble I0 taken In the pre- paration of the Indian census, but one story, told by a British adminli- trator, shows that there also the way of the census-maker la hard. On one occasion he had to point out to a na- tive enumerator some dfscrepaiiuy la I hl» figures. "Hut surely," protested \ the enumerator, "your honor can sup- j ply noughljt at discretion?" !

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me by my neighbor. Before I had taken five doses I was sitting up in bed, and when the iirst bottle was taken 1 was out of bed and able to walk around the house. During my sickness I had been obliged to get some one to look after my home for me, but thanks to the Vegetable Compound I am now able to look after it myself. I have taken Lydia E.
