Surnames and Their Origin I The family name of Leslie is a clan | name of the Scottish Highlands, but it originated far from the Highlands, in Hungary. © | _ This plant was introduced into Engâ€" |land as a garden flower more than half \a century ago.

It is surprising how many of the manners and products of the Stone Age have, after centuries of disuse, sprung into prominence again. It was Malsolm de "Leslie," a desâ€" cendant, who founded the Highland clan bearing that name. This Mal colm had retained the honors won by his father at the court of the Scottish kings, and had added to them. Many of the Highland clans were thus foundâ€" ed by "foreigners," who gathered about them followers of Gaelic blood, and who usually ended, as was the case in Ireland, by becoming more Gaelic than the Gaels themselves. Linen, made previously from flax, has for many years been growing dearâ€" er and scarcer, in proportion as the flax plant has become rarer and more dificult to cultivate. _ This material was used for wrapping purposes before the days of the Pharaohs. Bartholomew de Leslyn came to Scotland from Flanders, using as his surname the name of the fortress in Hungary over which he had been overâ€" lord. The clan lands in Rothes, Ballenâ€" breich and Fife were acquired in the thirteenth century by marriage. Flax is the oldest of all cultivated fibre plants and until the growth of the cotton industry in the United States superseded it, it was by far the most important of the world‘s fibre crops. Before the war, the raw material cost about $160 a ton, whereas toâ€"day it is priced at anything from $500 to $750. The enormous demand for linen made it imperative that a substitute for flax should be found, and a vigorâ€" ous search resulted in the adoption of the flax lily, found in great abundance in New Zealand. the leaves were found to be fibrous, and experiments yielded string and cord. Later, the plant was found use ful for textile purposes. After years of experiments by botâ€" anists of the Royal Horticultural Society and of Kew Gardens, the fibre obtained from the leaf is now a rival to the very best flax. The plant will grow admirably in such climates as those of Great Britain, New Zealand, Tasmania, France, and Belgium, and it is no more difficult to cultivate than ordinary garden lflies. ‘The lily is far easier to cultivate than flax itself, and it has a yield of 2,2401b. to an acre.

START RESTORATION WORK ON NELSON‘S "ViCTORY" The famous old flagship, "The Victory," is being restored and preserved by a fund subscribed by British subjects all over the Empire. The work was started when descendants of some of Nelson‘s officers pulled the ropes that lifted the gilded figures on the bow from their places. The picture shows the scene of the ceremony, just under the Victory‘s bow. Toâ€"day, in an Old Folks‘ Home, I saw a little, old lady, Rare as a winter violet, Frail as a bubble blown; Bent with her ninety years, Her mind was clear as spring water, In black eyes bright as a robin‘s An ageless humor shone. I gave her a bunoh! of orchids Tied with a purple ribbon, Fragile, exquisite blocsomsâ€" Her eyes brimmed up with tears; "Oh," she said with a aigh, I wish my mother could see them" From the lips of ninety years! Her mother! How sweet, bhow far away! If people would realize the importâ€" ance of keeping the blood rich and pure there would be less sickness. The blood is the means through which the nourishment gained from food reaches the different parts of the body. If the blood is impure, the nourishment that reaches the nerves, and organs of the body is tainted with poison and disâ€" ease follows. The blood is also the medium by which the body fights off disease., If the blood is thin and watery the power of resistance to disâ€" ease is weakened. If you are weak and run down, if your nerves are frayâ€" ed, if you lack ambition, have no apâ€" petite, and are short of breath after slight exertion, the trouble is almost always due to poor blood. In cases of this kind you should take Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills to build up the blood. They help to enrich and purify the blood from first to last dose, and in this way bring new health and strength to weak, runâ€"down people. Mrs. John Timmons, Elmvale, Ont., tells of the, beneflt Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills were to her, as follows:â€""1 became very weak and was hardly able to walk and had to be helped upstairs. I had no appetite and slept poorly at night. I finally went to a doctor who told me the trouble was lack of blood and that my condition was serious. He gave me medicine, which I took faithfully, but did not improve. I was advised to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and did #o, and after I had taken two or three boxes felt that they were helping me. I could eat better, and I slept better. I continued using the pills for some time longer and quite recovered my oldâ€"time strength and feel that I have to thank Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills that I am not an invalid toâ€"day."

But astronomers of today are inclined to believe that life of some kind may exist on our satelite. l The answer to our question, then, is | clear. There is no man in the moon. |Life is confined to plants which grow |at an enormous pace during the fourâ€" teen days of sun, and wither at once | when the night comes. A short time ago an observer who was studying one of the moon‘s vo!â€" cances through a huge telescope was amazed to see clouds of smoke and steam coming from it. He was actual ly witnessing an eruption in a crater which scientists believed to have been cold and dead for countless thousands of years. So interested was he that he kept a very careful watch on other parts of the moon‘s surface. Was any change taking place? He began to suspect something; then as night followed night he became convinced that there was a gradval slight alteration in the color of certain parts, which could be due to only one causeâ€"the growth of vegetation. Three things are necessary for life to be possible: air, water, and warmth. Volcanie activity is a proof of the existence of heat. The moon has no atmosphere as dense as ours, but it is believed that she may have a narrow surrounding envelope of very thin air, which would be sufficient to maintain simple forms of vegetable life. Water we have never seen on her surface, but it may be present in emall quantities in some of the gigantic exâ€" tinct craters with which her whole surface is studded. Life on the moon would be very difâ€" ferent from life on earth. We have a dense blanket of air fifty miles or more in depth which shields us from the eun‘s heat in the daytime and keeps us from being excessively cold at night. The moon‘s day lasts a whole fort night, during which time the heat must be terrific. Then comes the two weeks night, when the cold must be intense â€"a lunar thermometer would, in fact, register more than 300 degrees of frost at the coldest part of the long darkâ€" ness.
