"It doesn't look much like the old home as I remember it," an elderly business man who had been visiting the haunts of his boyhood said to a friend. "The lawn isn't cared for, most of the trees and shrubs are dead, and the garden that father took so much pride in is overgrown with burdocks and brambles. The orchard is growing old like the rest of us, but there's fine fruit there still, though the trees need pruning. But the saddest thing I saw was the old tool house. It's falling to pieces, and the rusty tools hang there--unused. Sam has had all the equipment father had to make the place attractive ae hasn't used it." Garden tools are not the only we can neglect. Not long ago a city banker stopped his car at a farmhouse to ask his way. In the woman who came to the door he recognized Amelia Webster, an old schoolmate whom he remembered as having been the pr tiest and brightest girl in the academy they had both attended. She was a faded, slatternly woman, and her house was ill-kept and unattractive. Her visitor reminded her that she had led her classes in history and literature and had even written creditable poetry. "I -never read anything now except the newspaper and not much of that," she said dully. "Sometimes the girls come to me with their sums and their hard questions, but I'm too rusty to help them much. The work round the house is more than I can tend to." Amelia's prettiness of face and sprightliness of manner had disappeared--killed by sluggish indifference. The knowledge and cultivation that her school course had given her might have been invaluable to her as a mother, but she had never used them. Killed, too, was the imagination that had once made her little poems welcome at the office of the vil- j lage paper, and that might have been '■ a priceh happy, less useful, than God had intended she should be. The tumble-i down tool house with its array of unused, rusty tools--what is it but a symbol of unused faculties, of a shrunken nd withered soul? GOOD HEALTH CAN BE YOURS 'Possums Menace.

They are all of them English names, and all trace back to an old Anglo-Saxon word which has come down to us almost unchanged, and is In as common use to-day as it was in the reign of Alfred the Great. The word Is (just what you think it is) "hill." The name of Hill, as well as Hull, is in the vast majority of cases a mere contraction of the' old description phrase "at the hill" or "of the hill," used to designate persons who happened to dwell on or near such emi-e varied spellings of the SCOTT Variations--Scotti, Schott. R^lal Origin -Doubtful. Source--Also doubtful. | Here is a family name that : bit of a puzzle, both as to ra but i days, the "de la Hill,' "de la Hull," "de la Helle" and 'atte (at the) Helle." I another The obvious explanation, which is not entirely satisfactory, is that it was originally a name added to the given name in order to describe nationality. Undoubtedly this actually is the true origin of the name in a great many cases, for in the old English records there are instances of such names as "Malcolm le Scot," which, of course, could have no other meaning. But this does not explain everything. There are more ancient records in Italy, in Frauee and in Germany, as well as Anglo-Saxon England, which prove mat "Scot," in one form or another, was rather widespread as a given name, and not as a descriptive name. Latin inscriptions give us the form "Scotnus" and "Scoto," the latter apparently being among the Tentonic ho lived in the northern part Williams' Pink Pills. These pills enrich the blood which carries nourishment to all the organs of the body and enables them to do the work ture expects of them. Thousands of men and women have proved this for themselves. One of these is Mrs. T. Flynn, R.R. No. 1, Erinsville, Ont, who says: "Last spring I got into a badly run down condition. I had no energy; work left me exhausted, and the 'east exertion would make my heart palpitate violently. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and decided to give them a trial and got a half dozen boxes. I had not been taking tbe pills long when I felt a decided improvement in my condition and by time I had used the six boxes I could do my housework with ease. I trongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all weak people." get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for I | something miss," he said, after a while. "Why should I do that?" asked the teacher. "Well," said Jack, "the fellows were talking about it yesterday. Pat said an Irishman discovered it. David said it was a Welshman, and Andrew said a Scot discovered it. And if you'd seen what happened to them you wouldn't ask a little fellow like me." Modern Fairy Tale. A boy dashed into a broker's office with news bulletins. As he turned to leave a member of the firm called out: "Here, you seem to have some pep. Get me a box of cigars in the lobby and keep the change." The boy hesitated, although a $5 bank note was thrust into his hands. Finally he stammered: "I would like to get you cigars, but we are short of boys, and I have a big route to cover. back when I deliver the bul- Finland is Prosperous. There is no unemployment in Finland, says M. Vilijanef, chief of the Trade and Industry Department of the Finish government, who is visiting in England. He attributed Finland's good fortune in this respect, as compared to most other countries, to the prohibition of imports. This had the effect of making the country's industrial production greater than at the beginning of the war. Finland is now considering the advisability of gradually discontinuing the embargo on imports, he said. This country has begun to transship goods for Russia and has established a free at Hango. Snails Act as Filters.

' An abstract from an ancient document reads: "Whyt cley and red for to make crokkes (crocks) and other vessels and barned (burnt) tyyl (tile) to hele houses and churches." Again, Wickyffe, in the translation of cue Bible passage, says: "The schip (ship) was hilid (hitler or covered) with wavis." The words "hilyer" and "hillman," therefore, were descriptive of occupations, which explains why these family names in their varied spellings are not within the eld records in such forms as "Roger de Hillyer," "Ivo le Helier" and "John le Hilman." bjects of the i and among other "Scotardus," with noted, similar to of France. The r mon among the si peror Charlemagn Teutonic races as syllable, it is to 1 Richard, Reynard, Leonard, distinctly Teutonic compound. It was also an Anglo-Saxon given name, as "Scota," and the place-name Scottowe is simply a development of the Anglo-Saxon "Scoteho" or "grave of Scota." In those days there was no such name as Scotland, though in the Celtic tongue Ireland was known as "Scota." It was not until the Middle Ages that, as the name of a country, it was transferred to Scotland in common usage. The existence of the family name in so many countries indicates it often developed from the given name, but where the given name first appeared is still a mystery.

The famous St. George's Chapel of Windsor Castle will be closed, for three years, for extensive restoration work, the need of which is so pressing that architects would not guarantee the chapel to stand another year without the collapse of the roof, which would mean the utter destruction of the fabric, with all its celebrated artistic and historic glories. The chapel stands within the walls of the castle, but it is a freehold of the State and the State money cannot be spent for these improvements. The question of the expense has been taken up by the Knights of the Order of the Garter, for whose use the chapel originally was founded, and in order to distribute the burden the work will be spread over a period of four years. Already $125,000 has been collected, which will meet the expense of the first year's work. The repairs will consist of replacing the decayed material without much alteration.
