Thin blood is one of the most cor mon causes of stomach trouble, affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will mo quickly restore the appetite, digesth and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, makng it rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles, and awakens to normal action the glands that supply the digestive fluids. This is shown by an improved appetite and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are vigorous instead of irritable and listless. If your appetite is fickle, if you Lave any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition ir. which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by al". dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Little Wisdom.

The diplci wife very unwisely unff.stened the necklace; and amid loud expre of admiration at its beautiful workmanship they passed it round from hand to hand. At the end of the dinner the lady asked for her necklace, but knew anything about it. The British minister, who thought that he understood the people of the country, rose to the occasion. With a smile, he said, "We have just witnessed a very clever and very amusing piece of legerdemain. Now we are going to see another piece of conjuring." He walked quietly to both doors of the room, locked them and put the keys into his pocket. Then, placing a small silver bowl from the sideboard in the centre of the dinner table, he continued, "I am now going to switch off all the lights and count ten slowly. Then I shall turn on the lights again, and, hey, presto! Madame de-'s necklace will be found lying in that silver bowl!" The room was plunged in darkness^ and the minister counted slowly up to The electric lights blazed There was no necklace, the silver bowl had vanished! Wilhelmina Plans Trip.

Surnames and Their Origin METCALF Variation--Metcalfe. Racial Origin--Welsh. Source--A locality. There 13 a tradition regarding the origin cf this family name of the that is often met with an attempt to explain it by a fanciful story w( around the apparent elements of which the name is supposed to be conpound-ed. This tradition has it that a certain strong man, having had an encounter with a bull, in which he finally conquered, explained laconically that he had ' . calf." Actually the family name of Metcalf is one of those which have been adopted as indicative of the localities in which the first bearers of the sun-names lived. And its origin is traced to Wales. The original Metcalfs were dwellers in or near a spot called anciently "the valley of the church" in the Cymric tongue. In the Welsh the word "medd" indicates a valley, mors specifically a little vale, and "caf" means variously a cell, chancel or little church. If the ancient form had been adhered to in the development of the name, rather than an unconscious approximation of English words in the Anglicized form, the name to-day might more properly be spelled "Medcalf." But though of Welsh origin, it is more than likely that the name's principal development was in England. Certainly it would never have been used by a person still living in the locality of that name, unless he were the owner or overlord of the section. MANSFIELD The family name of Mansfield comes from the town in Nottinghamshire, England, of the same name. Its first use as a surname, of course, was to designate the place from which the individual had come, rnd later, from which his ancestors had come. The name of the town is ancient, dating back to Anglo-Saxon days. "Manrian" in the tongue of the Anglo-Saxons meant to trade or traffic, and this has given us the first syllable of the place name. "Field," of course, synonymous with the modern wo'r But in the olden times it also had special, restricted meaning, indicatii a place of trade, a fairground. And this was, in the ancient days, a ing centre. Derivatives of this Saxon word "manrian" appear to be among those which survived the tidal wave French which the Normans spread over England, for in the period following, when many of the old Saxon words came to the surface again, there are found the words "manser," "i sell" and "manciple," indicating tradesmen specially skilled in buying rather than selling. They were t, the "purchasing agents" of t ;, in the service of big institutions and large households of the more portant nobility. And from these words denoting occupations have come the family names of Mansell and Man- May it never be said of them with truth, "The higher they climb the deeper they hate." It is a fine thing to find a man who goes upward to great heights without losing his head, his nervous equipoise, his self-control. It is an inspiration to us who plod and drudge along at the lower levels to find him generous, amiable, affable, ready to meet all corners and faithful to his fri On the ether hand, it is deplorable to come upon a man who wins his way to eminence of any sort, and In that lofty station, instead of looking sky and a superior Power, looks down upon "the common herd" and thinks-- and tells--how great he is in comparison with them.

Once he was happy with little; now he is miserable with The best kind of climbing is that described by Matthew Arnold in "Rugby Chapel." In that fine poem he tells of his father, Thomas Arnold, the headmaster, who is hero of Thomas Hughes' noted book, "Tom Brown at Rugby." He shows us that Thomas Arnold was ever a climber, but was unwilling to climb alone. He led his boys upward and onward with him. Nobody admires a man whose struggle is all for himself, that he may gather riches, and make his boast of them and "show off" to the world. When Death comes, Death does not to see any of his things. The question at the last is simply, "Did serve?" It is not "How much have The only portable baggage on the last and loneliest climb of all which the soul is called upon to make are the imponderable qualities of character.

Temptations to evade agreements, to cheapen quality, to place personal favor before impartial justice--all these can beat steadily i it, yet it will stand stanch and uncompromising. Integrity is the measure of a busies; compromise ever so little and honor is dimmed and reputation fades way.
