This might be an appropriate heading for a story concerning an aged woman, with an Irish tongue, who had a heap of trouble this morning, and all on account of the weather man. .- The woman lives at Sharbot Lake and was on her way tothe Kingston & Pembroke railway station when .& blizzard came along. It was so bad that ove could not see across the street, and it was no wonder that she lost her way. Instead of going to- wards the sjation she headed out On- tario street and after making a' short distance, sometimes out on the road and then agsin on the sidewalk, she met a citizen and asked ber way. She was tly excited and appeared to have out all her senses, for the time being.

Surnames in Scotland were first of all territorial, such as Douglas, For. bes, Crawford, Dunbar, ete., and just as these heads of houses wera called by the names of {heir respective es- tates their tenants were cal after the they oocupied--a custon still common in the Lowlands--and so they had Hillocks, Greenfield, Bloomfield, Sandilands, ete. The abuse of this style of speech and writing was car- ried so far in the seventeenth oen- tury that petty lords and farmérs of- ten signed ther letters and documents by their property 'or their farm names--a privilege which noble- men and cleries in high places alone |Possess--and so an act was passed in 11672 putting #an end to the system which then obtained. Surnames were Hereditary surnames made théir appearance in England and Southern Scotland in the twelfth century. { In the Highlands surnames were of leven later appearance. The Scottish Highlanders farmed the majority of their surnames by prefixing "Mae" (s6n of) to the personal of Christian name of males, and "nie" (daughter) to the names of females, for in Gaelic they had no such incongruity as Mary "*Mac"' Donald--Mary the son of Don- ald. Their Irish 'cousins used Mac and O. As the rhyme had it : By Mae and 0, you'll always know True Irishmen, they say; { For if they lack both O and Mac, No Irishmen are they. In the Scottish Lowlands, instead of | prefixing "Mac" they put the Mac at the other end, and so 'they got Don- aldson for MacDonald, and Ferguson for MaeFergus, . p------------ Britain Finances Canada. Téronte News. During 1910 Great Britain lent Can- ada another $200,000,000, and she will continue to be a generous bank- 'er. Sir Edgar Speyer tells The Globe: "ft is of vital importapce to Canada that the condition of credit generally has been rarely higher than it is to- day, and that Great Britain may be expected to lend freely in 1911. Great Britain will continue to supply ! capital to Canada with ° a generous hand for the development of the great nafurnl resources with which she is wed so abundantly. This will- ing of Great Britain to lend makes it all the more incumbent on Cenadians--and this cannot be em- phasized "sufficiently often snd suffi. ciently strongly--to permit nothing which in any way could impair the confidence and readiness of the Brit- ish investor to send his money to Canada, and Canada should appreci- ate the paramount necessity of offer- ing only such securities in the home as are absolutely good, for the margin which separates caution from fear is go very narrow one."
