One of the best careers in the world is to be a father. It gives solid satisâ€" faction and pays in levelâ€"headed, fine #pirited sons, and clearâ€"eyed, womanly daughitare. "Dad doesn‘t seem like a parent," said w boy in his tsens, "he seems more Hke a chum or a friend." Long years of learning how to be a father led to that remark, which showed that the time and effort spent were alroady bringing results. This particular father began when his children were under two years of age. Ho spent very little money on the children, but he spent & lot of himself. He devoted bours of his Satâ€" urdays and Sundays t> playing with the children, reading to them, listenâ€" Ing to them, and talking with them. He did not do so much "for" them. He did much "with" them. It was not, "Let daddy make a house for you," or "Let daddy fix it for you," instead he thought it wiser to say, "You build a house with daddy," or "You fix it with daddy," and so the children learned the fun and pleasure of doing things with daddy. He did not talk to them, but with them, as one man to another, as one friend to another, and the little ones gained dignity and understanding unâ€" consciously. He treated the children as intelligent companions, and they became so. He never was too busy to explain, to answer their questions, to help with their problems, to solve their childish puzzles. If mosher could not answer, she advised, "Be sure and ask daddy 1nd he will tell you." When the children began to take heir share of the work and responstâ€" bility of the home, it was with daddy they did many of their little tasks. lBefore they were five years old this father bad begun to say, "Come." He scldom said "Go." It was not "You go and do this," or "you go there." He wald "Come on and help me clean up the cellar," or "Come and help mother 10 these dishes," and "Come and clean up the yard with me." The children responded at once, for work with dadl was half play and it was great to be trusted with responsibility by a man. ‘ "Tell dad," became a watchword.| The struggles and triumphs, the losses and gains, were told him at the endl of the day or week. He showed his interest every morning at breakfast and every night ot dinner by questions and conversation about their activiâ€" ties, until it was natural that no mat ter what happened, "Let‘s tell dad," came spontaneously, and equally na tural became the desire to have only the best things to tell. This father was jolly and played like a chum, yet there wore certain lines laid down. None of this dad‘s playmates could be mean, or cheat or tell untruths, or shirk & duty. Each child must obey promptly, work cheerâ€" fully, act manfully. Rach child must respect, obey and work for mother, who dad said was the Queen of the home. not counted in money, but in flesh and blood, brain and heart, in the greatest asset the world possessesâ€"the father‘s children. This is a song men »made Of long tofl and little shade; This is a song with the bite Of hard stars and a black night,â€" A song men came to know With staring over plow or hoe At roads where none had need to go,â€" A shining speech they poured From sighs long stored, From laughter saved till it was golden. This is a song of slower, olden, Vanished life. Our songs are bright With rippling play of haste and light; Smoothly their sighing runs. their laughter, And neither leaves an echo aftor. They have no slow repulse of gloom, No ecstasy of purple bloom, No peace, no hate of hopeless wrongs Out of our life we make our songs. wB4 ADGUD RCB, EC B AgANEIUUAIUCTE mss .

For the most part, the Irish clan names, which were virtually family names, and have become so absolutely in modern usage, were formed strictly from given names, from the names of those chieftains who first gathered about them a sufficlent number of folâ€" lowers to be designated as a clan. But sometimes these chieftains received nicknames, descriptive of some trait or honor achieved, and it was the nickâ€" name which became the clan name. This is the case of the Kennedy clan. The gaelic designation of this clan is "O‘Ceannatta," and with the excepâ€" tion of the last syllable, which has naâ€" turally become slurred a bit in the Angdicized form of the name, its proâ€" nunciation was precisely that of O‘â€" Kennedy.

By no means have all family names developed from occupations, places of residence or given names of parents. Probably as large a class as any, in English nomenclature at least, develâ€" oped from nicknames descriptive, or allegedly descriptive, of personal peâ€" cullarities. Such names were given to men in medieval times in exactly the same manner that a small boy is given a nickname toâ€"day by his companions. The difference lies only in the fact that the need for the nickname or desâ€" criptive surname was greater in those days than toâ€"day. In this manner such names as Brown and Black have deâ€" veloped, just as boys toâ€"day acquire such names as Reddy or Skinny. The modern boy lives them down eventualâ€" ly, for he has a family name which better serves the purpose of a surâ€" name when he grows up. But in medieval times the nicknames were turned into family names, for populaâ€" tions were growing so fast that a given name was not enough to distinguish & man from all of his fellows. Names in this group were taken from the word "kete," which since has become obsolete. It meant "fierce" or "bold." could cross the narrow channelâ€" Smith Sound and Kennedy Channelâ€" in the winter months, kill the musk oxen and return with the pelts to their native country. Incidentally, Greenâ€" land has far outstripped the northern Canadian islands in the exportation of furs. The government decided that it was time to acquaint the Greenlanders with the fact that Canada is a country with a rigid customs barrier, and if they desire to take Canadian furs back with them they must meet the reâ€" quirements of the law. Hence the esâ€" tablishment of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police post at Cape Sabine. Inspector Wilcox and six other ranks are stationed there.

Is a Bountiful Supply of Rich Healthâ€"Giving Blood. Sufferers from what medical men speak of as nervous debility find themâ€" selves tired, morose, lowâ€"spirited and unable to keep their minds on anyâ€" thing. Any sudden noise burts like a blow. _ They are full of groundless fears and cannot sleep at night. Their hands tremble, the legs feel as if they will give away following a walk or any exertion, and the mind is greatly dis turbed by the most trivial incidents. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The‘ only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. To secure this new, rich blood use Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills which have a direct action on the blood and through it stimulate every nerve and organ in the body. . Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Fenwick, Ont., gives her experience with this medicine as follows:â€""I had a nervous breakdown and was in the Welland County Hosâ€" pital for some time. As I was not imâ€" proving my husband took me out and took me up to my mother‘s. I doctorâ€" ed there but it did not help me. Then I returned home, and was again under a doctor‘s care, butowith no better reâ€" sults. I would tremble and get numb all over, and the least noise would afâ€" fect me. I was quite unable to do my housework, and was in a terrible conâ€" dition. Fipally I was advised to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and am thankful that I did so, as after taking about a dozen boxes I was again a healthy woman. I have used the pills since while nursing my baby, with equally good results, and I strongly advise other ailing women to try them." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Entomologists who have been checking the flights of a number of marked bees have found that each insect makes on an average only five or six trips a day for honey, and that each trip lasts only about fifâ€" teen minutes. Between trips a bee spends half an hour or more in the hive and gives at least half a day to uninterrupted rest.

Trinidad is believed to be a "mine of treasures.". Much of the wealth of the richest of the South American citles was conveyed to that island by the sea rovers who plundered the mainâ€" land. In a great cavern in the cliffs on the Auckland Islands lies the General Grant, which was wrecked in 1866, with 50,000 ounces of gold on board. It is known that the hulk is still withâ€" in the cave, but expeditions from Ausâ€" tralia and New Zealand have been baffled by the undertow and the great combers. Somewhere in the East River, U.8. A., is $2,500,000 in gold. It has lain there since 1780, when the British friâ€" gate Huzzar, carrying money for the Royal forces engaged in the American War, struck a rock opposite the upper end of Randall Island and sank only a hundred yards from shore Lovers of romance, too, will find food for dreams in the thought that on the mainland of Panama is a great store of gold hidden by Sir Francis Drake after he had sacked the city of the same name.
