ru A holidayâ€"maker on a walking toutr in England asked the country people the common names of the wild plants of the vicinity. He found that both the children and the adults were well acquainted with the wild flowers, but that the names they gave him were often different from any that he could find in books. _ Many of them were poetic or quaintly descriptive, and some had historical associations. After returning bome the man conâ€" tinued to take walking tours and to follow the practice of collecting the every day names of plants and flowers. Our Canadian wild flowers, like those of England, are conected with our naâ€" tional life, as is seen in the names that the common people give to the plants of our roadsides, fields and woods. The number and the signifiâ€" cance of the names have been only partly studied, and there are probably more of them that have never been recorded than are set down in books. In collecting the names it is not safe to accept every answer to an inquiry as being useful to your purpose, beâ€" cause some of the names may be only the expression of personal fancies. "I don‘t know just what the right name is," but I cali it soâ€"andâ€"s0." If others conversant with plants in the same neighborhood recognize the name when they hear it you can know that you have a true folk name. In the record enter the scientific nameo, the popular name, the neighborâ€" hood where it bears that name and the U het STORIES OF WELL KNOWN PEOPLE Collecting Wild Flower Names. ill ov where i why A Threat That Had Effect. eral Sir Archibald Macdonnel! und himselft on occasion in as h sltuations as that recently pre ted by his frrepressible cadets as emerged by dint of no les: the Ficidâ€"Marshal‘s "Crimes.‘ hem Too Much for Baifour. ow Lord) Balfour was one day ; near his Scottish bome at ghame when ho was accosted d man hailing from a neighborâ€" ige,.

When you build up the impoverished blod with Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, you are attacking sciatica, neuralgia and kindred diseases at the root. As proof of the value of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills in cases of this kind we give the stateâ€" ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Port Elgin, Ont., who says:â€""Some years ago I was attacked with sciatica in my leg and hip. The pain was excruciating and finally I was forced to go to bed. Apparently all the doctor could do was to give me drugs to dull the pain, as otherwise I found no relief I had been in bed with the trouble for eight weeks when a lady who came to see me said that she had had a similar atâ€" tack, and had only found relief through the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. I decided at once to try this medicine, and before I bad taken more than three boxes I found relief. I continued the use of the pills and under the treatâ€" ment the pain left me. I was able to walk again, and have not since had the least return of the trouble, I feel that Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pilis have been of such great benefit to me that I strongly urge similar sufferers to give them a fair trial." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medtâ€" cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

People think of neuralgia as a pain in the hecd or face, but neuralgia may affect any nerve of the body. Differâ€" cnt names are given to it when it afâ€" fects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatica nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the rature ol the disease is the same, and the remedy to be effective, must be the same.

Miko and Pat are sleeping and are awakened by fire gongs. Pat shouts to Mike, "Mike, run for your life, the house is on fire and the roof is falling in!‘ Mike replies, "I‘ll not move an inch.

The rector of a fashionable London church was induced to preach at a wellâ€"known prison. When in the vesâ€" try he said to the prison chaplain: "Now I bave come, I don‘t know what to say to your convicts." The chapâ€" lain replied, "Preach to them exactly as you do to your own congregation; and remember only one thing: my people have been found out and yours bave notâ€"yet."

Mix four cups of brown sugar and half a cup of corn syrup with half a cup of water, and put on the fire, stirâ€" ring carefully until all the sugar is dissolved. Let this come to & boil and then take off the fire and add four tablespoons of butter. Put the mixâ€" ture back on the stove once more and boil until the butter has penetrated throughout the candy. Pour onto a greased enameled ware tray of any kind and, as the candy cools, mark it into squares. When it has hardened break these apart and wrap each plece separately in wax paper. Incidentally, you will find that the labor of "cleanâ€" ing up" is a great deal less if you have used an enameled ware saucepan for the cooking, since even the stickiest mixtures do not adhere long to its porâ€" clainâ€"like surface. "Has anyours seen Jewell?" asked the sergeant. Immediately on the outbreak of the revolution in Russia in 1917 the baron was thrown into prison, where he reâ€" mained during the regime of Kerensky.

Sourceâ€"An office or title It is a surprising thing how many family rames of toâ€"day have come down to us from words denoting occuâ€" pation or titles of ofice which long since have become obsolete. Few people in this country bearing the name would have any idea of what a "hayward" or a "heyward" was in England of the twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth centuries, nor of the nature of his duties. Even the explanation that the mediâ€" val word "hay" meant "hedge," and is rpot our modern word "hay," would hardly serve to give you the right clue. The "hedge warden" was not the keeper of hedges in the sense that he was a gardener. His duties consisted in service toward the villagers, the farmers of the day. 18 How the English Make Toffec.

It is impossible to state at just what period ‘"Daniel‘s son" ceased to be merely descriptive of an individual and was adopted through several genâ€" erations, thus becoming a family name.

Danicels is another of those family names which comes down to us from the days of the old Angloâ€"Saxons, though, like other family names, it did not become such until a period after the Angloâ€"Saxons and Normanâ€"French had become fused into the English race of medieval and modern times, The final s on Daniels indicates that it bas been shortened from Danielson. The variation Tancock is the result of a misspelling that crept into the rame at some period, either before or after it became a family name, and the habit o the Angloâ€"Saxons of shortâ€" ening names to one syllable and then adding a diminutive ending. One of these endings was "cock" or "coch," meaning "little." Tancock, then, transâ€" lated literally into modern speech, means "little Dan," or, if we should use the modern diminutive, "Danny."
