Frequent earthquakes and low wages of servants account for the fact that Japanese families invariably live in separate homes. There is not one apartment house, not one family living in a hotel, save travellers, even in the decidedly Occidental city of Tokio. Japan, having an average of four daily vibrations, cannot build heavy concrete skyscrapers. Homes there are of small size, made of wood, bamboo and tiles, built very light, so This is the size of house most comâ€" monly used all over he country. It is just the right size for the average Japanese family, which consists of about five persons. Houses thus beâ€" ing invariably small and the members of cach family large, the custom of many families living in an apartment house is entirely unknown there. Then, too, labor is cheap, and a faithâ€" ful and industrious maidâ€"servant, who will do cooking and heuse cleaning as well as serving and running errands, can be hired for less than ten yen per mouth. There exists a cordial relaâ€" tionship between the master and the servant, who is treated as a member of the household. as to suffer the least damage from earthquakes. The most economic and practical size of a house, accordingly, is about eight rooms and is two stories high Japanese houses in cities are built closely together, and, with the excepâ€" tion of large business firms, business and dwelling occupy the same buildâ€" Ing, usually a large front room being devoted to business and the rear rooms and upper part of the house for living purposes. In residential distrists in the ouskirts of the cities, houses are surrounded by spacious gardens, inâ€" closed by wooden or bambco fences, over which may be seen pine and maple trees carefully trimmed. Restful and Comfortable. The interior of houses used solely for residential purposes is cozy, quiet and Artistic. A Japanese parlor of orâ€" dinary size is usually a square, gix yards by four, with a rew walls and many â€" sliding paper doors. These soveeons and doors noisclessly open inâ€" Family Hotels â€" Interior 0 Homes Cosy and Artistic. screens and doors noisclessly open inâ€" to adjacent rooms omâ€"else cross a verâ€" andah that overlcoks a little garden. A little gay folding screen in a darker corner adds variety to the rcom and many windows with shoji, which are slendor frames of wood, pasted over with thin, semitransparent paper, give enough light to make it restful and comfortable. _ The floor is elevated above the ground and is covered with tatami, a thick soft mattress, In the wellâ€"toâ€"do© households, when people sit on the floor they sit on a little square padded cushion about three feet square and three inches thick. Besides this there is a little hibachi, or brazier, placed in the centre of the room. Under the alcove there hangs a kakemoneâ€"a panel with a picture or a poem in Chinese scriptâ€"and there stands a vase of flowers arranged in the orthodox fasâ€" hion of Ikebana. There is no other furniture in the parlor. â€"The general tone of the room is that of neatness and serenity. _ Every appearance of loudness is avoided. The walls are of a warm but subdued color. The Japâ€" anese, as a rule, are not fond of varâ€" nishing, and the wood is usually left in its native grain. The panels, screens and shoji are changed according to the seasons in order to weather them comfortably. The Japanese bed, consisting merely of a few thick comforters and a pilâ€" low, can easily be made up in any room. It is considered a mark of hosâ€" pitality in Japan to make the guest‘s bed in the parlor and put the room at his disposal. The New Zealand government is planning to drain two areas of swamp land, containing 60,000 and 65,000 acres respectively, and convert them Into grazing land. Huge stone statues and other relies of an unknawn race on Easter Island, 2,000 miles off the west coast of South America, will be studied by British scientists. The true game officer toâ€"day is more concerned in protecting such game as remains than in issuing licenses for its destruction. If we are to retain our game resources their conservation must necessarily constitute the main function of the game officer; he must be truly a game guardian or warden. There are two kinds of success. One is the very rare kind that comes to the man who has power to do. That is genius.

They are all derived from a given name. But which of three given names they trace back to, and through what lanâ€" guage, are matters that only a geneaâ€" logical research in the individual case could establish. Sourceâ€"A given name.

They are simply developments of "Anâ€" drew‘sâ€"son" and for the most part of purely English origin, though in many cases they aro but Anglicized versions of either Scottish or Irish names. The "Mac‘ names in the group are quite as definitely Celtic, but they may be ;i‘tahwe; lrish' or Seottish. The given name of "Henry" and "Eanruig" (Celâ€" tic), are often interchanged. _ _ A northern branch of the Scottish "Clan Gunn" bears the name of Henâ€" derson, traceable to Henry, a son of George Gunn, the "Crowner" or Corâ€" GLAD HE TRIED THE TONIC TREATMENT Through Its Use Strength and Vigor Was Restored. To be tired after exertion is natural. Rest and food restore the body to norâ€" mal after such fatigue. _ But to be tired all the time is a symptom of an anaemic condition that will not be corrected until the blood is built up. Such an anaemic condition is go gradual in its approach and generally so lacking in acute pains that it is ofâ€" ten difficult to persuade the sufferer to do anything for it. But it is not a condition that corrects itself, If the blood is not enriched the trouble will increase. The nerves will bo underâ€" nourished and neuralgic pains will folâ€" low.

New Citizens for Canada. With a population of less than two persons to the square mile compared to England‘s six hundred, with only five per cent. of her rich agricultaral land in the West under cultivation, with a heavy national indebtedness and only a few people to pay the inâ€" terest in the form of taxes, the reason why Canada is hungry for immigrants can readily be understood. Immigraâ€" tion is the human rain without which Canada must parch and wither up. If Great Britain had a large surplus of farmers and farm hands, Canada might not have to invite immigrants from any other source. . But Great Britain is not so much an agricuitural as a merchant and manufacturing centre, and every year grudges more and more the farmers or farm hands who leave her Colonies for the Do minions. She is quite willing to send out countless city folk in the hope that they may be transformed into farmers in their new ‘environment, but she has fewer farmers to spare than many other countries from which Canada in the past has drawn excelâ€" lent settlers. This is illustrated by the homestead entries. From 1897 to 1919, only eighteen per cent. of the British immigrants made entry for homesteads in Western Canada as compared to twentyâ€"seven per cent. of the American immigrants and twentyâ€" nine per cent. of the fcreign born from Continental Europe. In certain parts of Europe wheore there is a genuine land hunger, there is not enough land to go round. Five or six acres per family is all the land available in certain parts of Belgium, and even on that the thrifty Belzhn‘i frequently brings up a family of ton.‘ ables, in affiliation with Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, New York City, offers a three years‘ Course of Trainâ€" The Toronto Hospital for Incurâ€"! MENDERSON Surnam«s and Their Origm 1 oner, who flourished in the fifteenth century. A brauch of theâ€"Clan Macâ€" â€"Donald of Glencoe traces its name to | omneâ€" "Eanruig Mor," a MacDonald chieftain who settled in Kinlochleven in the year 1011. The names MacKenâ€" drick ard MacHendry are also borne 'by branches of the Clan MacNaughâ€" ton, who trace it to chieftains of their own clan named Henry or Eanrulg. Irish development of the name has been similar. Kendrick is a shortened ; form of MacKendrick,. I But the nams of Henderson may also be English, as also Andrews, Anâ€" gderson, Hendry and Hendme (these two when not contractions of Macâ€" Hendry and MacHendrie) and Henâ€" son, for these forms are all English. The confusion of English and Scotâ€" tish forms at a very early date in the development of the family name sysâ€" tem is due to the fact that the Kingâ€" dom of Scotland in the Middle Ages contained a large Norman and Saxon element, virtually dominant in the Lowlands and often penetrating to the Highlands. In Ireland this confusion began later, the logical cosequence of the English conquest of that country and the actual enforcément of English speech and customs, The great immigration of Ukrainians from Central Europe which has given Canada nearly 300,000 of her Western farm population was due to the conâ€" stant subdivision of farms which were only fifteen acres to start with. These Ukrainians have become a great asâ€" set to Canada, and have at their own expense erected four large colleges for higher education. Then again we owe our fine stock of seventy thousâ€" and Scandinavian settlers to the lack of sufficient land in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Have these foreign born made good Canadian citizens? Read "The Eduâ€" cation of the New Canadian," by Dr. J. T. M. Anderson, of Saskatchewan, and you will say "Yes!" In one or two groups at first there was opposiâ€" tion to the learning of English, parâ€" ticularly among the older people, but now it is difficult to find sufficient teachers to meet the demands of the schools. And it is not only in the schools where you find the forgign born. More than haif the students at the University of Manitoba are of foreign parentage. You find children of the foreign born as leaders in the professions and in the Cabinet of at least one Provincial Government. Canada is after all only repeating on a larger scale the welcome to and the assimilation of the foreign born which has characterized the history of the Mother Country. The Flemish weavers and the Huguenots who found refuge in England, are but a few of the foreign born immigrants who helpâ€" ed to build up British industry. Canaâ€" da‘s chief industry is agriculture, and her agricultural prosperity is due in no small digree to the thrifty and inâ€" dustrious bew Canadians who have come to the wide acres of the West from the overâ€"crowded lands of Eurâ€" ope, and whose children toâ€"day are proud to speak English and to sing "The Maple Leaf Forever."â€"A.B. The superstition that it is bad luck to upset the salt at table is sometimes said to have originated from Leouardo da Vinci‘s picture of the Last Supper, in which Judas Iscariot is represented as upsctting the saltâ€"cellar. But the §upe'rstiuon is much older than that. In ancient times salt was a comâ€" paratively scarce commodity; fre quently it was placed on the table in one dish for all hands, and just as a dinnerâ€"guest of toâ€"day would feel that he was having a run of bad luck if he accidentally broke a evres plate, so would one of the ancients feel about accidentally overturning the salt celâ€" lar. Besides, as the ancients regarded salt as an emblem of redemptive power, it was not unnatural that they should have looked upon the spilling of it as an evil omen. The custom of throwing a pinch of the spilled salt over the left shoulder three times to break the "hooâ€"doo" is clearly a pagan survival of the times when salt was one of the propitiatory offerings made to the evil dieties who sent bad luck. Da Vinci undoubtedly had in mind the ancient superstition regarding spilled salt when he intro duced the overturned saltâ€"cellar into his great picture.

The Medical Research Council is exâ€" perimenting extensively with radium treatment for the cure of cancer, and the work has been intensified by an increase in fatalities from cancer in England, says a London despatch. The latest reports show that the three greatest enemies of mankind in Lonâ€" don are bronchitis, cancer and tuberâ€" culosis, in the order named, with the last two running close together. The first heading includes infuenza and other complaints resulting from bronâ€" chitis, so that the greatest perils are cancer and tuberculosis. Dr. Addison, Government Health Commissioner, added, however, that cancer is a disease of middle and old age. He said the average age of the population is increasing; therefore there are more people who escape the diseases of childhood and vile to the age when cancer attacks, and for that reason there are relatively more deaths from this disease. He assertâ€" ed that a huge amount of preventive work had been done and was being done, Last year 42,000 died in Engâ€" land and Wales from cancer. Sir Alfred Pierce Gould, an eminent surgeon, has had much success recentâ€" ly in treating cancer with radium. A woman of 85 had cancer of the breast for four years. A tube of radium was introduced into the breast and after a time the cancer disappeared. Another patient of 78 was likewise cured withâ€" in a few months. A man of 76 who had cancer in the mouth underwent radium treatment for three months, after which the cancer disappoared. Sir Alfred is a firm believer in radium treatment, but admits that there is much about cancer still to be lea.me% He declared that he had cases where incomplete and apparentâ€" ly useless operations had a surprising effect in getting rid of cancer, and at times when temporary measures had been taken astounding relief resulted. He says that this proves that further light is necessary before the treatâ€" ment can advance. He does not be lieve that the new cure has yet reâ€" ceived a fair test, because it usually has been applied only to advanced cases where the general condition of the patient rendered an operation unâ€" necessary. In his opinion the remedy ought to be thoroughly tried on early and average cases, and he has high hopes that it will ultimately be a great medical triumph in the treatment of a baffling disease. In an ancient mansion â€"which reâ€" cently changed hands on account of the ups and dows of wartime fortunes there dwells and works a parlor maid of very expensive and rather cultured and superior type. Her mistress does not mind the expense, but is often much bothered by the culture, this be ing on too high a plane for her underâ€" mistress in the hall, "there is a menâ€" dicant at the door."

Canada‘s capital city has the distineâ€" tion of having more Scouts per capiâ€" ta than any other city of 100,000 or more people in America. If the Boy Scouts of Ottawa were to join hands they would be able to encircle a very large section of their home city, To have saved throe persons from death by drowning at three different times is an excellent record. It is held by Assistant Scoutmaster Edâ€" ward Walker (i9 years old and a Scout since 1911) of Grimsby. He was recertly recommended for one of the highest Boy Scout decorations. New Boy Scout troops ares being formed in many parts of Ontario. The latest towns to register new Scout orâ€" ganizations with Provincial Headâ€" quarters at Toronto are Port Colâ€" borne, â€" Manotick, â€" Merritton (two troops), Dumnville (a second troop), Whitby, Minden, Richmond, Fort Wilâ€" liam (a third troop), Trenton (a gecond troop), and about a dozen new troops in the cities of Toronto, Ottaâ€" wa, Hamilton and London. . Many other new troops are also in course of formation and will be chartered by the Provincial Council later. "The Trail," Ontario‘s publication for Boy Scout Officers and Leaders, has now a contemporary in "Scoutâ€" ing," a similar paper published by the Saskatchewan _ Provincial â€" Council. Both are greatly appreciated by those for whom they are published and are already wielding a big infnence in coâ€"ordinating the work of the Boy Scout Movement throughout their reâ€" spective provinces. Persons interested in the Wolf Cubs the junior branch of Scoutingâ€"will be glad to know that a new booklet describing their work is now availâ€" able from Provincial Scout Headâ€" quarters, Bloor and Sherbourne Sts., Toronto, upon application. When a native woman wishes to disâ€" play her affection for a friend of her own sex, she proposes that the latter shall become her husband‘s wife on equal terms with herself. One of the most extra toms in the world is that certain Persian tribes. "I must say it is somewhat embarâ€" rassing," she said, in her reminisâ€" cences, "when the gentleman himself happers to be present, and I have sometimes wondered what the effect on the wife would be if her generous offer were accepted. "This is the greatest compliment she can bestow," wrote the late Dr. Elizabeth Macbean Ross, who spent some years as a doctor among the tribes of North Persia. She had the hand of many Persian husbands ofâ€" fered to her in this way. "When I told them it appeared to me a curious thing that one wife should select another, I was informed that it presented many advantages. ‘It is much better for us to choose our husband‘s wife; then we get someone we like and with whom we can If a husband dies his wives are divided among his brothers, the eldest having first choice and taking all or as many of the women as he fancies. The work of repairing the ruined Cathedral of Rheims has brought to light the buried remains of ancient churches which formeriy stood on the same site. Under the pavement of the choir, which was shattered by Gerâ€" man shells, have been found the old foundations of the Cathedral of St. Hincmar, which was destroyed by fire in the ninth century. Beneath these ruins workmen came upon traces of the first church to stand on this halâ€" lowed ground, the Church of St. Remi, built in the fifth century. Under the broken high altar was discovered a hoard of 250 pieces of ancient silver and near this a sealed up and long forgotten well. From the bottom of this well a worn lead pipe leads the water away into the earth and it is thought that this originally connected with the long lost baptisâ€" mal font where Clovia was received into the Church. Antiquarians from all parts of Frarce have come to Rheims to examine the discoveries. China‘sâ€"Iron Ore.
