Many people read newspapers as much for their advertising column as they do for other news. This Is particularly true at this time of the year. Stores are now advertising Spring Wearing Apparel and a host of things that are bought for household use Incident to spring cleaning. Think of the money that will be spent by women for spring clothing. The new frocks, hats, shoes, lingerie, corsets, gloves, sweaters, neckwear, light wraps and blouses that will be bought The same Is true of men's buy- Ing. Think of the suits, light top coats, hats, shirts, collars, ties, gloves, socks, shoes the sporting goods and the Inciden- tal wearing apparel nought for golf, tennis, and so on. Think of the new things that will be bought for spring clean- Ing and home convenience at this time. The vacuum clean- ers, carpet sweepers, brooms, gas and electric heaters, ranges, washing machines, paints, varnishes, floor wax, cleansing fluids, curtains, up- holstery, garden and porch furniture, lawn mowers, garden tools, etc. Think of the lighter foods com- ing Into use.

We Have Too Many Brains. The world war gave unprecedented opportunities for the study of injuries to the brain. There were instances In which indl- ridual lighting men lost as much as a ;.eacupful of brain substance without impairment of their mental faculties. Extraordinary! The reason Is not easy of explana- tion. But apparently nature provides us with more brain material than we need to think with, and we can spare qu'te a bit of It without serious conse- quences, unless some essential struc- ture be entirely destroyed. Theres is no more uplift- ing habit than that of bear- ing a hopeful attitude, of believing that things are going to turn out well and not ill; that we are going to succeed and not fail; that no matter what may or may not happen, we are going to be happy.

The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever inven- tion of an Australian bird of large size called the "brush turkey." It saves the fowl great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her "clutch" of eggs in a neat circle, and then she and her mate scratch together a big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces heat, whereby the eggs are kept at proper temperature for incubation. From time to time the male bird gives the heap a scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature de- veloped is neither too high nor too low. He doea not permit the newly hatched young ones to emerge, however, until they are fully fledged and able to take care of themselves. Then he helps them to get out.

Source A title of office. One of the most peculiar points about the social and military system of the Normans wus the manner In which occupations which to-day we look upon as of an humble, household nature, were exalted Into titled offices. The answer, of course, is that in those days each feudal castle, the social unit of all who were not tillers of the soil, was. though a single "household," a small nation in Itse-lf, largely Independent and owing vas- salage to counts and kings only as a unit. Thus the keeper of the "family" In medieval England. Hence there are many Spencer families to-day. BEVERLEY Racial Origin Anglo-Saxon or Nor- man-French. Source A locality. This family name quite clearly be- Itiiuv-s in the classification o( those which have been derived from the names of places, for It Is traceable through the early documents with the prefixed "de." meaning of. It is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all lands have piven more family names than the big centres of population. The reason for this Is, in the first place, tha' the people flocked from the small com- munities, where there was not so A SPLENDID TONIC FOR WEAK PEOPLE Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Act on the Blood and Nerves.

Surprise was expressed In some quarters recently at the announce- ment that the Prince of Wales is not to start a racing stable, but the fact of the matter is that he canrot afford to do so at the present time, says an English newspaper. His income is a comparatively limit- ed one tar smaller than most peopi^ imagine, and he has so many calls up- on his purse that at Unies he has to consider the matter of expenditure very carefully Indeed. Almost the whole of his income Is derived from the Royal Duchy of Corn- wall, and last year the sum of $210,000 was paid into h's banking account from tais source. Out of this, how- ever, he makes a substantial annual contribution for the maintenance of his sister aad younger brothers, who receive no money whatever from the State, but arc supported solely by the King and the Prince of Wales out of their respective incomes. Owing to the way in which King 1 George invested the income from the ; Duchy of Cornwall during the Prince's ' minority he enjoys a comfortable in- ; come, but this Is all earmarked long before it reaches fcim. It waa for this reason that he decided some time ago I to dispcee of a considerable portion of i his estates in South London, and It is possible that a great proportion of the money so raise-d will go to endow his sister and brothers. In addition to the income the Prince of Wales receives from the source a I- ' ready mentioned, be receives the pay of his rank as Colonel of the Welsh , Guards, and this may be said to be all that he possesses. It may be pointed out, too, that he pays taxes lu precisely the same man- ner as any private individual, while he Is even rated for the portion of St. James's Palace he occupies, though this is purely an "act of grace" upon his part, and he could claim exemp- tion on the ground that this is a Royal palace. purse was In reality the "secretary of ! great a need for additional names, to I $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine tho treasury," and the head of the household kitchen was the commis- sary-general. The "despenser" or despencer," un- der the feudal custom of the Normans, was the officer responsible for the "buttery" or food warehouse of the castle, an office of great responsibility In dayj when sieges were laid, often not to be lifted for mouths or even years. Thte title, however, when coupled with the word "le" (the), as of course It was, soon became too clumsy even tor the Norman tongue, with the re- sult that it did not take many genera- tions before the more common form of the word was "spencer" or "spen- 8r." There were many, many castles the big centres, wiere there was not only such need, but where the men- tion of a small place served the pur- pose- of differentiation quite accurate- ly. In the second place, the big com- munities gave rise to comparatively few family names because It consti- tuted little differentiation to speak nf "Roger de London," when there were thousands to be found all over the country. Authorities differ as to the origin of the place name of Beverly, which Is in Yorkshire. Some derive it from "belvoir" (beautiful view) and "lev," a meadow or field. It Is more prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Savons as "Veverlac," or beaver-lake. Co., Brockville. Ont. Britain's Oldest Industry.
