Th" following family names are all developments of the given name of Bartholomew. a name the sound and unusual spelling of which Just natural. ly lent itself to violent variations trom the original form, particularly when it is remembered that in the Middle Ages the individual writer came pretty near to spelling as he pleased. As a given name Bartholomew is of Hebrew origin. Like other Biblical names. it was widespread in medieval England. where the Anglo-Saxon trend toward short forms of names. however, brought "Bat."

Peters, 'i, Perkins (Peterkin's son) is stamped gwith Anglo-Saxon "int1uettets in the diminutive ending "kin." The "k" in 'other variations is a remnant ot this. lThe softer Pierce shows the French l,intiuence, an! finds somewhat of a i'ifiifilTiiirt" in the names of Pierre 93nd Percy. In many sections of Eng. hand there is a. tendency, and always has been, to pronounce "er" like "ar." Hence Parkins, and finally Park, de. veioped trom Perkins. _ Parklnt, Park, Parr. Racial orlgln--Medievat English. 8ouree--A given name. Perkins, with Its many variations, Is a surname which takes its origin from the given name of Peter. - In some ot these names the Anglo- Saxon influence can be traced, and in others that of the Norman French. while in still others there is nothing to distinguish which infiuettee pre- dominated, Peter, as a Christian name, was one of the most popular throughout Eur. ope in the early days when the re- ligious authority ot Rome was recog- nized universally in all lands, owing to the prominence ot St. Peter as the chief of the apostles and the founder of popes. Later, after the Reforma- tion, it lost somewhat of its popu- larity, though it was tar too wide.. spread by that time to be eliminated as a given name. By this time, also, its crystallization into various family names was well under way. ded. Once again, however, the Fates l stepped in, this time so effectively t that the project was abandoned. The i chief electrician ruined the cable by t working it with too high a power! 2 250,000 Miles of Cables. It was not until ten years had t elapsed that further efforts were made l to link England and America by cable, , the work being carried out by the l Great Eastern. Over a thousand miles 1 of cable were laid; then a snap no l curred, all attempts st picking up the I ‘lost cable being futile. Subsequently I j another cable was laid, the older cable 'arterwards being located Ind spliced. EBY the end ot the seventies tour [cables were operating between the 1 two countries, the total length of cable in use at the present time being over 2.30.000 miles. _ The network of cables linking up the Continents is now so complicated! that ships are constantly employed inl surveying the different systems. lo- cating faults and remedying them. Each ship carries a staff of electri- cians and telegrapltists, and their. ‘voynges occupy from two months to al, year or more.

Site of "ivanhise" Opened to Public. Temple Newsam, witch was opened to the public of Leeds recently, has been called the "Hampton Court of the North," and it must certainly rank as a serious rival ot the ancient pile in the outskirts of London, which was, built by Cardinal Wolsey and refitted by Henry vm.--"For his own darling, Anne Boleyn." 1 its books, pictures and antique tur. nishingsare worth a fortune and are now the property of the Corporation' of Leeds, which body obtained the mansion on very generous terms trom Hon. Edward Wood, Minister of Edu- cation, the latter having to relinquish the estate owing to the great burden of post-war taxation, says a London despatch. There is a herd of cattle in the park belonging to the corporation, and a scheme is on foot to establish a ‘model municipal dairy term there. Not every lover of "Ivanhoe" knows that manrot the stirring incidents in that romance take place in the court. iyard of Temple Newsam. " Walter gScott visited the historic Jacobean lmansion and was so impressed with [its perfect environment tor a story that he took Temple Newsam for the locale of the chief scenes of "ivan. hoe," the name becoming "Temple- l stow." The mansion fitted In exactly be. cause it received Its real name trom the tact that it had originally been the site of an ancient priory ot the Knights Templar. WORK-WORN WOMEN Care of Home and Children Of- ten Causes a Breakdown. The woman at home, deep in house- 1 ', hold duties and the cares ot mother-}] hood, needs occasional help to keep [ her in good health. The demands upon ‘ ‘ a mother's health are many and severe. (, Her own health trials and her child-" ren's welfare exact heavy tolls, whilel' hurried meals, broken rest and mach), indoor living tend to weaken her. No; wonder the woman at home is often‘. indisposed through weakness, head. I aches, backaches and nervousness. Too many women accept these visits»; tions as a part of the lot of mother! hand. But many and varied as her} health troubles are. the cause is elm-i pie and relief at hand. Wnen well, it' is the woman's good blood that keeps: her well; when ill she must make her ' blood rich to renew her health. The:' nursing mother more than any other! j woman needs rich blood and plenty of it, There is one way to get this good? blood so necessary to health, and that! is through the use ot Dr. Williams“; Pink Pills. These enrich the blood,) and through their use many weak, all-f ing wives and mothers have been: benefitted. If you are ailing, easily; tired or depressed, it is a duty you owe _ yourself and your family to give Dr'.'; lWllliams' Pink Pills a fair trial. 1 You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at Me 9. box from The Dr. Wil, liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out. One ot the most extraordinary cases ot what may be called an accidental invention is that of the lifeboat. A man named Wouldhave was out walk- ing one day when he was asked by an old woman to help her lift a can of water which she had filled by means of a broken wooden bowl. The bowl was floating on the Bur. face ot the water, and as he talked to the woman, Wouldhave turned it over with his finger. 1t immediately right- ed itself. Amused by its antics, he re- peated the performance; then it struck him that he had made a won- derful discovery. The result of his chance meeting was the self-righting lifeboat. which was designed by him on the lines of the wooden bowl. What he had discovered was that anything made ot floating material and shaped like one half of a basin could Mat only with its convex surface downwards. A boat made on these lines cannot remain upside down for more than an instant when it is turn- ed over by a heavy sea. MONEY 'oaoERs. Pay your out-of-town accounts by Dominion Express Money Order. Five Dollars costs three cents. A lady employed a very ignorant servant, who would not rise in the morning at a sumeiently early hour, so an alarm clock was bought and pre- sented to the girl, with the words: "You know, Mary, that I require the fire alight every morning by seven o’clock; but I cannot get you to do it, so i have bought you this alarm clock.” Mary examined it, and said: "Thank you, mum; it's very nice. But fancy a. thing ioike this bein' nbie to Ioight a tire; sure it's a wonderful invention, mum.'"

THE FALL WEATHER HARD 0N LITTLE ONES l Important as our immigration protr‘ 'lems are, it is undoubtedly more tt; i portant that our problems of maternal l 'and infant welfare be given full. 1tl mediate, and continuous attention. in fthe first place, we find that our ma. i, ternal death rate, although lower than ithat of the United States, is higher; gthan that of England and Willem? 1higher than that of Norway, higher _than that ot a good number of coun- ‘tries which have given serious Ethought to the welfare ot their citi' (zen mothers. Our Canadian maternal 'deaths tor 1922 were more In num- iber than similar deaths for 1921. And ithe tragic, yet hopeful, feature of the isituation is that a large percentage 't these deathtr-a great deal more when halt ot them-were preventibie. ':, Bt?letttifie knowledge has progressed to fan advanced point, so that it is now tipossible to say, "It men and women ,Eare given the information easily 1 available, and it there is careful super- ;ivision during pregnhy, and proper ,iattention during and after delivery, .ithe maternal death rate of any coun- 1try will diminish almost to the van- l ishing point." It is a matter of Interest to note the relative esteem in which Cana. diana hold increase of Canadian popu- lation by immigration and increase by natural processes. Although every- where lip service is given to the principle of healthy increase ot Ca. nadian population by natural pro- cesses we find, it we consider our position frankly and trom a detached viewpoint, that we are actually bend- ing more effort to attract outsiders to our country than to the more im- portant duty of making it possible for our own Canadian families to in- crease in healthy normality. Federal appropriations tor the promotion of immigration projects are a great deal larger than the combined provincial appropriations tor the conservation of health-a fact. tor which no one but the people of Canada themselves ‘are to blame. One at the human Yunkeo tootg is For the Canidian Mother. Our problem in this generation, then, has become one ot disseminating knowledge, of Insisting on the observ- ance of the simple yet vital rules of hygiene, and ot providing adequate care ot the expectant mother and ot the mother who has already .given‘ birth to a child. it there were to) develop a strong popular demand that these necessary conditions be met, we should soon discover that our Provin- cial Departments of Health could ex- tend their activities so as to reach each most ignorant and helpless par- ent in our crowded cities, and each most remote and fearful mother in isolated rural districts.
