The Irish family name of Casey is one which, strangely enough in view of its Irish form, so complicated to our Englishâ€"accustomed eyes, has deâ€" veloped very few variations in its transition into English spelling.

The given name from which this family or clan name was developed is "Cathasach," and its meaning is "brave." It was a name quite comâ€" mon in the old Irish nomenclature, but, of course, only in comparatively few instances gave rise to a family name The O‘Caseys in Ireland are most thickly settled in Munster, Limerick and Clare (the territory which was the ancient Thomond), and also in Cork."

Those who assisted in the transformation realized how great were the difficulties and how tremendous the possibilities. Time has proved to the satisfaction of Canaâ€" dians that the exportable surplus of agricultural products must meet, in so far as is possible, the standards laid down by the importing nations. Moreover, we have learned that it is profitable to meet these demands wherever feasible. Canadian bacon is in Great Britain, and even in other‘ countries, a standard product. The Government‘s part now is to keep clear all trade channels, thus proâ€" viding the demand, while the reputaâ€" tion already achieved assures the proâ€" ducer a price comparable to that reâ€" ceived in any other market."â€"Dr. S.

There is not a nook or corner in | ; Canada, in the citics, the towns, in | j villages, on the farms and in the mines | , and lumber camps, where Dr. Wilâ€"| ; liams‘ Pink Pills have not been used, | , and from one end of the country to | the other they havo brought back to | breadâ€"winners, their wives and famâ€"| illes the splendld treasure of new |. health and strength. You have only to ask your pneighâ€" bors, and they can tell you of some rheumatic or nerveâ€"shattered man,! some suffering woman, ailing youth or anaemic girl who owes profent health and strength to Dr. Williams‘ Pink 'Pms. For more than a quarter of a | century those pills have boen known | not only in Canada, but throughout all the world, as a reliable tonic, bloodâ€" making medicine. The wonderful cuccass of Dr. Wilâ€" |\ Mams‘ Pink Pills is due to the Iact\ | that they go right to the root of the | discase in the blood, and by maklngl | the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every rerve, thus | driving out disease and pain, and | making weak, despondent people | bright, active and strong. Mr. w. T. \| Johnson, one of the best known and. ; most highly esteemod men in Lvnenâ€" y burg county, N.S. says:â€""I am a Provincial Land Surveyor, and am exâ€" ll posed for the greater part of the year | to very hard work travelling through ’1 the forests by day and camping out :\ by night, and I find the only thing that ‘\ will keep me up to the mark is Dr. ‘| Williams‘ Pink Pills When I leave home for a trip in the woods I am as | interested in baving my supply of pilis interested in bhaving my supply of pilis as provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly.

HMaving proved the value of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never without them, and I lose no opportunâ€" ity in recommending them to weak people whom I meet." Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills should be kept in every home, and their occaâ€" sional use will keep the blood pure and ward off illness.

It is known by most gardeners that cabbage, parsnips, turnips, salsify, and carrots are not injured by freezâ€" ing, provided they thaw out while in contact with the earth or soil, but it is also a fact that certain winter vegetables are not at their best until they have been frozen hard at least once while in the ground. Parsnips and salsify especially, should stand in the ground until there bas been weather cold enough to freeze several inches, then the roots may be dug and isi:ox'ed in an open pit and covered with dirt. The covering may be sufficiently heavy to prevent further freezing if it is desired to go into lthem during the winter, but it will do no harm if covered only a few inches so that they will freeze and thaw several times. They will be of better texture and flavor by having frozen. Turnips should not be alâ€" lowed to freeze more than once, and cabbage also keeps best if covered well after the heads have frozen once or twice and thawed out under ground. The stalks should also be covered with soil when in storage, as the frost wil} come down them into the head if they protrude and are allowed to freeze ! and thaw a number of times. Perfect Hands. W. A. HUTCHINSON. TORONTO During the preparations for celebratâ€" ing the tercentenary of the sailing of the Pilgrims it has been discovered that the painting of the Mayflower in the Houses of Parliament depicts the ship fying the modern Union Jack. The presont Union Jack did not come into existence until 1801, at the time of the union of Ireland with Great Britain, when the cross of St. Patrick was added to the British flag. In many ways the sailing of the Mayflower was an event in England‘s history, but how different that history would have been had tne example of the Pilgrims been followed by certain other men who had made up their minds to join William Browster and his companions! Wearied by civil and religious strife in England, Oliver Cromwell snd John Hampden werel preparing to set out for America, when} Archbishop Laud procured an order from Charles I. formading them to tleavo. That proclamation of May 1, 1638, declared that the king, being inâ€" formed that many persons went yearly to New England to escape ecclesiast!â€" cal authority, ordered that no one should henceforth pass without & liâ€" ‘cense and a testimonial of conformity from the minister of his parish. It was this same Charles 1. who, in 1634, issued another proclamation forâ€" bidding any but royal ships to fly the Union Jackâ€"the old flag of the Engâ€" ish and Scottish crosses. Queen Anne, in 1707, ordered merchant ships to fiy a red flag with the Union Jack in a canton at the upper corner thereof. This is the British red ensign, well known in every port of the world. Originally the name "jack" was given to the small upright spar in the ship‘s bows from which the flag was flown when going into action. Graduâ€" glly the term came to be applied to any flag of noble size that had the cross of St. George next to the staff. The Union Jack with tme crosses of 6t. George and St. Andrew supplanted the St. George‘s jack on the ascension of James I., when the crown of Bcotâ€" land was united with that of England. When Professor Walter Raleigh was asked to lecture at Princeton College, Professor Root went down to the staâ€" tion to meet the distinguished visitor. Professor Root did not know Profesâ€" sor Raleigh, but walking up to a man whom he thought looked like him, he said: "I beg your pardon, but am I adâ€" dressing Waiter Raleigh?" The man looked at him for a moâ€" ment, and, thinking he must be mad, replied : ul :‘No, I am Christopher Columbus. Walter Raleigh is in the smokingâ€"room with Queen Elizabeth."
