"WW ' The bacco 'H Manufactured by Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada Limited of Quality FREDERICK. iG + 'a Varlations -- Fredericks, Friedrich, Friedrichs, Fredricks, Fredson, Fred- sen, Frederico, Fredo. Racial Origin--Engllsh, German, Scan- dinavian, Italian, Spanish, Source--A given name. Family names in this group are all derivatives of the given name of Fred- erick, or its equivalents in the various i : languages mentioned. i : To some it may be a matter of won- 4 der that a given name palpably of Teu tonic origin should be popular enough to have developed into a family name among such races as: the Italian and the Spanish. The answer Hes in the fact that the so-called Latin races are considerably more Latin in language than they are in blood. While the Teu- tonié element may not predominate in See $t ig largely 1 blood ~ of the conquering Goths of! "medieval 'days, who swept over the! ruins of the Roman Empire. The given name of Frederick is of} Teutonic origin. Its original form was © \"Frithuriec," and it was a compound of the words "frithe," meaning "peace" | or "peaceful, " and "ric," meaning "cing" or "ruler." It-is to be noted 'that this word "ric" has its counter- 'part in the Celtic "rix" and "righ," as; 'well as the Latin "rex." Among these family names the | 'forms Frederick, Fredericks, Fred- wicks, Fredson are English. Friedrich , 'and Friedrichs are German. Fredsen . ic 4s Scandinavian, and Fredo and Fred-| ' jerico are both Spanish and Italian. Surnames and Their Origin outed In the Totte tn man rench, A DeTOm LATIMER. Variation--Lattimer, Lattiner. Racial Origin--English. Source--An occupation. The populations of medieval Europe had one great advantage and conveni- ence which has not been passed down to their posterity. They had a com- mon language for international com- munication. The language of the scholar, the educated man, wae the same {in all countries. To-day, it is true, most Europeans consider that they are not well edu- cated unless they know two or three languages beside their own. But in those days it was not necessary to know more than cne tongue in addi- tion to the native one in order to con- verse with scholars of all lands. This universal language, of course, was Latin, the language of the church. And at one period in medieval Eng- land, it was considered more import- ant to know how to read and write his waistcoat, Dress Fads of Famous Authors. "He had a double gold chain outside | and such breastpins that I thought he looked like one of our river gamblers." Such is the des-' cription of Charles Dickens, given by ; Prentice in an accountrof his tour of the Unitetd States. A tendency for overdressing was always one of Dick- ens's characteristics. A photograph of Dickens, taken in 1852, shows him in a frock-coat with a broad velvet collar, a waistcoat made of some furry stuff, and trousers of a huge check. Percy Fitzgerald says. the French painter's remark, that | Dickens wes "more like one of the old) Dutch admirals we see in the picture galleries than a man of letters," con- veys an admirably true idea to his friends, "The first time I saw Archbishop Whately," said the~Proyost of Oriel College, Oxford, "he wore apea-green coat, white waistcoat, stone-colored shorts, flesh-colored stockings. Bishop Heber was dressed in a parsley and butter coat. Dr. Arnold in a light blue coat with metal buttons and a~ buff waistcoat." Charles Lamb always "isedae in black. "I take it," he said, "to be the proper costume of an author.' When this was once objected to at a wed- ding, he pleaded the raven's apology in the fable that "he had no other." His clothes were entirely black, and he wore long black gaiters up to the knees. Southey wore clogs; he had a fawn- colored all-round coat and a cap with a knob to it. He néver put on a swal- low-tailed coat.- Like Southey, Por- son, the great Greek scholar, had an utter contempt for appearances. When Hazlitt met him in the library of the London Instituion, he was dressed in an old rusy black coat, with cobwebs hanging to the skirt, and with a large patch of coarse brown paper covering the whole ee Soe of his nose. GUARD THE BABY AGAINST COLDS To guard the baby against colds nothing can equal Baby's Own Tab- lets. The Tablets are a mild laxative that will keep the "ttle one's stomach and bowels working regularly. It is a recognized fact that where the stom- ach and bowels are in good order that colds will not exist; that the health of the little one will be good and that he will thrive and be happy and good-na- |tured. The Tablets ere sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. o Preserving Pianists' Art. iey-the-player piano property,7 ,Saxon was "deader" then, so far as reading and writing went, than Latin ig to-day. The "latynere' was the man who could read, write, and speak Latin; in short, the scholar. At a somewhat later period, Sir John Maunderville wrote: "And men alleweys fynden Latyneres to go with them in the con- _ trees and furthere beyonde in to tyme 'that men conne the language." The difference between the sound of an "n" and an "m" is not great, but it is a good bit harder to say "latiner" than "latimer'" in ordinary conversa- tion. Hence the word, existing now only as the family name, has come down to us in the "corrupted" form. SSS The Peach, That Tells. 7. "Tony's not a bit smart. Somehow, \e his clothes always look all wrong," , 'said one girl. i "Tony's got no sister to keep him P up to scratch," remarked her friend { flippantly. Men may not dress so much for wo- "4 men, as women undoubtedly dress for aL. men; but it is a fact that in homes where there are sisters you find well- ; dressed brothers. F Of course, men won't own up to it, 'iy but you notice it ina hundred little ways. A girl's feminine eye for detail allows her to jog her brother tact- } fully when his socks and ties are not } all they might be. She may never be allowed to purchase the sacred ar- ticles; nevertheless, he hears her half- whispered comment on so-and-so's toilet, or such a man's new suit, and earmarks it for future reference. Masterpieces of Fiction That Were Dictated. The man who walks about his study or lounges in an easy chair whilst his secretary takes down a dictated novel | or-article for the Press is sometimes regarded as a product of these modern days of hustle, Yet there are great precedents, for both "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise! Regained" were dictated. Milton was blind and unable to transcribe his own works. His method was to compose a number of lines in his mind, and then dictate them to anyone who hap- pened to be handy. Wordsworth, the great interpreter of nature, used to ramble over hill and dale composing poems. When, after his death, an inquirer asked an aged yillager if he knew him, the old fellow said: "Aye, sure, I've oft seen him goo One sister I know has good taste in materials, and usually has her way an interest in his welfare, her bargain eye is always on the alert for a good cheap line in new soft shirts-or a place where one-can get reliable gloves at lees than five shillings a pair. Yes, sisters can dress brothers and dress them well. Pat Another reason for a man's extra emartness where women abound {s the - bily in their company.

He was referring to the poet's habit of murmuring his lines as he walked. | In this way he could compose and memorize a couple of hundred lines. When he returned home he would call 'his sister or his wife to his side, and dictate the whole to them whilst a wrot | Sir Walter Scott is another example. ;The whole of "Ivanhoe" and "Guy |Mannering" was dictated to secre- ltaries, who took turns in striving to} keep pace with him.

"i taste, musical fafinict and consider- able practice are necessary. Sufficient justification for the last will be found not only in the increased power and| fluency of expression that result, but also in the vast fund of knowledge that is required in the process. Through a highly sensitive electri- cal device it is possible for a pianist whilst playing what appears to be an ordinary piano, to cut simultaneously an exact record of his playing upon a paper music roll. The result is an al- most uncannily truthful reproduction of the planist's performance which, after the roll is duplicated, becomes available to every owner of an instru- ment fitted with the mechanism. The accuracy with which these in- struments reproduce the pianist's own interpretation, the phrasing, the rhy- thmic peculiarities, the niceties and delicacies of shading is amazing. It is surely no trifling contribution to culture that the all too fugitive art of the pianist may thus be preserved for the benefit of vast audiences whom he may never see, or, that the music lover of 1923 may enjoy in the seclu- sion of his home, the playing of the greatest contemporary artists. -->--__--_.

Some people have a tendency to be- come thin- eg ust as others have an inherited tenf@ency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condition in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and stealthily that any- ope with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symptonis carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term {s, can be cor rected much more easily in the earlier stages than later> It begins with a tired feeling that rest dces not over- come, the complexion becomes pale and breathlessness on slight exertion, such as going upstairs, is noticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful fn the treatment of diseases caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood-making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. ~You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- Mams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. -------- -The Shoemaker's Kingdom. He was in his way a king, that mis- erahly poor and helplessly paralyzed oid shoemaker who lived in one of the grimiest streete in the aqualid East End of London. He could think great thoughts, bright, happy. thoughts by means of which hoe peopled his k!ng- dom, the dark little kitchen in which he sat day in and day out. In London's Underworld, Mr. Thomas Holmes, who for upward of a quarter of a century was a police-court missionary, reports this remarkable conversation, which took place between himself and the cripple: "Tt is a very hard life for you sitting month after month on that chair, un- able to do anything!" "Tt is hard; I do not know what I should do if I could not think. "But isn't it hard for you to do noth- ing except think?" "No! it is my pleasure and accupa- tion." "What do you think about as you sit here?" "All sorts of things--what I have read, mostly." E "What have you read?" "Everything that I could get hold of | --novels, poetry, history and travel."
