Not every lover of "Ivanhoe" knows that many of the stirring Incidents In that romance take place In the court- | yard of Temple Newsam. Sir Walter Scott visited the historic Jacobean mansion and was so impressed with Its perfect environment for a story that he took Temple Newsam for the locale of the chief scenes of "Ivan- hoe," the name becoming "Temple- stow."

But the provinces have a heavier responsibility In the matter of he&Ilh. What are some of the flans they are following for the redaction of mar ternal deaths T Some are increasing the numbers of their public 'health nurees. Others'* are establishing small hospitals in various localities where mothers may receive adequate care; Saskatchewan Is training nursing housekeepers who will enter rural home* and take effi- cient charge of the whole family while the mother regains her atrangth. The Red Crosa and the Victorian Order of Nurses are saving the life and health of many mothers annually. These are good beginnings. But yet we are losing about five mothers out of every thousand who give birth to a child, and for no rea- son at all except that our mothers have not been taught to observe simple health rules, or they have not received proper oare before, during and after delivery. The remedy lies in our own hand*. It is to be found in a demand for increased appropria- tion* for health work by provincial governments and a determination to keep on extending government and voluntary maternity welfare schemes until every family In Canada Is within reach of proper help. Norway has reduced her maternal mortality from 8 per 1,000 to 2.3 per 1,000. Canada can reduce her ma- ternal mortality from 5 per 1,000 to 2 per 1,000 if Canadians insist on it HI* Cure.

The variation Betson Is due undoubtedly to a' change in spelling after it had become a family name. Were it not for the fact that the wo- man's name "Betty" Is a comparative- Peter, as a Christian name, was one of the most popular throughout Eur- ope In the early days when the re- ligious authority of Rome was recog- nized universally in all lands, owing to the prominence of St. Peter as the chief of the apostles and the founder of popes. Later, after the Reforma- tion, it lost somewhat of its popu- larity, though It was far too wide- spread by that time to be eliminated as a given name. By this time, also, ly modern derivation from Elizabeth, ' its crystallization Into various family and did not take place until after the 'period In which family names were formed, there might be grounds for the belief that In some Instances at least Betaon Is a development of "Betty's son." It Is interesting to note some of the variations of the given name of Bar- tholomew, for they show the widest dissimilarity in form. In German ap- pear the forms Bartold and Mewee ; In Bavarian, Bartelme, Wawel, Wabel and Wabm; in Russian, Vartolomel; names was well under way. Perkins (Peterkin's son) Is stamped with Anglo-Saxon Influence in the diminutive ending "kin." The "k" in other variations Is a remnant of this. The softer Pierce shows the French Influence, and finds somewhat of a counterpart In the names of Pierre and Percy. In many sections of Eng- land there is a tendency, and always has been, to pronounce "er" like "ar." Hence Parkins, and finally Park, de- veloped from Perkins. TO ENGLAND IN A MINUTE! ded.

Over a thousand miles of cable were laid; then a snap oc curred, all attempts at picking up the lost cable being futile. Subsequently another cable was laid, the older cable afterwards being located and spliced. By the end of the seventies four cables were operating between the two countries, the total length of cable In use at the present time being over 250,000 miles. The network of cables linking up In less than a minute.

' The first satisfactory cable was laid between the South Foreland and San- gatte seventy-two years ago. A Battle Against Odds. Behind the laying of the first At- lantic cable, projected sixty-seven years ago, there ia a stirring story of indomitable perseverance and bat- tle against odds. Two warships, one British p.nd one American, were lent for the purpose of laying the cable, which snapped when 330 miles had been paid out. As a result, 700 miles of new cable bad to be made, and the attempt was renewed the following year. Scarce- ly had the operations begun when the cable broke again.

If you are ailing, easily tired or depressed, it is a duty you owe lems are, It la undoubtedly more 1m portant that our problems of maternal and Infant welfare be given full, im- mediate, and continuous attention. In the first place, we find that our ma- ternal death rate, although lower than that of the United States, is higher than that of England and Wales, higher than that of Norway, higher than that of a good number of coun- tries which have given serious thought to the welfare of their citi- zen mothers. Our Canadian maternal deaths for 1922 were more In num- ber than similar deaths for 1921. And the tragic, yet hopeful, feature of the situation Is that a large percentage of these deaths a great deal more than half of them were preventable.

A man named Wouldhave was out walk- ing one day when he was asked by an old woman to help her lift a can of water which she had filled by means of a broken wooden bowl. The bowl was floating on the sur- face of the water, and as he talked to the woman, Wouldhave turned ft over with his finger. It immediately right- ed Itself. Amused by its antics, he re- peated the performance; then It struck him that he had made- a won- derful discovery. The result of his chance meeting was the self-righting lifeboat, which was designed by him on the lines of the wooden bowl. What he had discovered was that ; anything made of floating material and shaped like one half of a basin could il.'.u only with its convex surface downwards. A boat made on these lines cannot remain upside down for { more than an instant when it Is turn- ed over by a heavy sea. MONEY ORDERS. Pay your out-of-town accounts by Dominion Express Money Ordr.
