Surnames and Heir Origin KENNEDY Variationsâ€" KInltty, KInnlty, O'Ken- nedy. Raolal Orlainâ€" Irish. Source â€" ^A nickname. For the most part, the Irish claa names, which were virtually family Aantes^ and have bc«ome so abcwlutely In modem usage, were formed strictly trom glvra names, from the nam«s of these chieftains who first ga,thered ftbout th«m a sufficient number of fol- j lowers to be deisignaled as a clan. But sometlovee these clrieftalns received j nlcknatneR, descriptive of some trait | or honor achieved, and it was the nlek- j name whkh became the clan name. â-  This is the case of the Kenuedy clan. ; The gaellc designation of this clan ! is "O'C-eannatta." ond with the excep- j tion of the last syllable, which has oa- 1 turally became elurreU a bit In the j Angdiclzed form of the name, its pro- j nunclation was precisely that of O"- , Kennedy. i Tho founder of the clan was a chief- ; tain named "Fergus" and surnamed '. "Ceannfada," or "long-bead"'- Un the i sense of being far-sighteHl). who flour-: tehed abottt the time of St. Patrick. Thus this clan or family name is about â-  aa old as Christianity In Ireland, and 1 antedates the Christianlration cf .\a- j glo-Sa.xon England, which was several centuries to the Norman invasion of â-  that country, with the subsequent for- i matiou of KngUsh family names. ' KEATS Variationsâ€" Keet, Kelts. Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" Personal characteristic. By no means have all family namsa developed from occupations, places of residence or given names of paronta. Probably as large a class as any. In English nomenclature at least, devel- oped from nicknames descriptive, or allegedly descriptive, of personal p* oullo Titles. Such names were given to men In medieval times In exactly the Bain« manner that a small boy is given a nickname to-day by his companions. The difference lies only in the fact that the need for the nickname or d^es- oriptive surname was greater In those days than to-day. In this manner such names as Brown and Black have de- veloped, just as boys to-day acquire such names as Reddy or Skinny. Tha modem boy lives them down eventual- ly, for he has a family name which better serves the purpose of a sur- name when he growc up. But in medieval times the nicknames were turned into f&mily names, for popula- tions were growing so fast that a given name was not enough to disitlngulsh a man from all of his fellows. Names in this group were taken from the word "kete." which since has become obsolete. It meant "fleroe" or "bold." ARCTIC GUARD TO SAVE MUSK OX GOVERNMENT SENDS AN EXPEDITION. To Establish Police Offices Within 800 Miles of the North Pole. In carrying out the task of estab- lishing the sovereignty of the British crown In the .\rctic islands which form the northernmost part of the Do- minion of Canada, and which in sise are equal to the combined territory of Saskatchewan and .A.lberta. the North- west Territories Branch cf the Cana- dian Department of the Interior sent the government steamer, the Arctic, last autulun, to within SOO iuile« of the North Pole to establish penuanent police posts and police offices. Theee expeditions, which culmlnat«l during 1923 In the establishment of a police post at Cape Sabine, on the easteru coast of Ellesmere Island, have been us-etl also for the purpose of conducting examinations of the coun- try by competent scientists and en- gineers. At the present ttan© Major Burwash l.H carrying out au examination Into the natural resources of Baffin Land and the islands lmmedlat«Jy to the west. He will continue this investi- gation until next autumn, when the Arctic win pick him up at Cumber- land Sound on the east coast of Baffin Land and bring htm back to clvilUa- tion. m order to expedite the opening up of this country a second vessel, the Franklin, will be taken over by the department, and will make its first voyage this summer. Three Posts Established. The three i>o*t» which have been es- tablished are at Cumberland Sound and Pond* Inlet, on Baffin island, and at Cape Sabine, far to the north on Eilejmere Islacd. The nece*«lty for the establishment of the po-ot on EUe.'dwre Island was made n»anife»t by the rapid dopIetlt>n of the musk ox herds which have ibetr habHat there, it became known that tb« government regulattons under which a musk ox cannot be killed ex- cept In the face of starvation wer« b»- tag Routed groMly by Eskimos from Orwnland aad ethiir torftlgiMrs who Pride. why do I rtae at th^ daw«'s sarty Mgbt, To clean the car after a rain?

Incidentally, Green- land has far outstripped the northern Canadian islands in the exportation of furs. Police to Enforce Rules. The government decided that it was time to acquaint the Oreenlanders 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 re- quirements of the law. Hence the ee- tablishment of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police post at Cape Sabine. Inspector Wilcox and sdx other ranks are stationed there. This summer the department hopes to establish more posts on some of the â-  Islands further to the west. Bathurst Island Las been marked but as one of ' the islands best suited for the purpose because of its central position. Friends. Friends are pearls o' precious price.

That horse's tongue Is considered a great delicacy among the peasants of Scotland? That a form of wireless telegraphy was used in China at the time of Con- fuclous? That walrus hide, applied lightly to the scalp night and morning, is a sure cure for baldness? That in certain tropical islands In the Pacific beetroots grow to the height of fifteen feet?

Mothers should constantly be on guard to keep baby's bowels working freely and his stomach sweet, for nine- tenths of the ailments from which lit- tle ones suffer are caused by derange- ments of the stomach and bowels. Baby's Owu Tablets are a splendid laxative for the baby. They are mild but thorough; contain neither opiates nor narcotics, and are absolutely guar- anteed to be safe and efficient for either the newborn babe or the grow- ing child. By their action on the bowels and stomach they drive out constipation and Indigestion: break up colds and simple fevers and make the dreaded teething period easy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock TUle, Ont GREEN TEA IMPORTS LARGER. Statistics from Ottawa show that In 192S. 653.977 iKtumls more Green Tea were brought into Canada than In 1921. and 906.728 pounds more than In 1922.

OF CANADA LlMiTEP Is a Bountiful Supply of Rich Health-Giving Blood. Sufferers from what medical men speak of as nervous debility find them- selves tired, morose, low-spirited and unabla to keep their minds on any- thing. Any sudden noise hurts 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 mlstaLke. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. To secure this new, rich blood use Dr. Williams' Pink Fills which have a direct action on the blood and through it stimulate every nerve and organ in the body. Mrs. Alpheus Merrltt. Fenwick, Ont.. gives her experience with this medicine as follows: â€" "I had a nervous breakdown and was In the Wetland County Hos- pital for some time. As I was not Im- proving my husband took me out and took me up to my mother's. I doctor- ed there but it did not help me. Then I returned home, and was again under a doctor's care, but with no better re- sults. I would tremble and get numb all over, and the least noise would af- fect me. 1 was quite unable to do my housework, and was in a terrible con- dition. Finally 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 1 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 Love Song. It must have been the wind that stir- red my hair; But all my will Called. It your fingers, not the wind, I would not look, nor ever shall I know. Whether the touch that put a score of years To deepest sleep, and rest beyond all sleep. Was your shy hand, or Just some lost, light wind.

Pieces of Eight Hidden treasure has always acted as a lure to the adventurers of the world, but, though treasure hunts are many, treasure findings are few. Trinidad is believed to be a "mine of treasures." Much of the wealth of the richest of the South .American cities was conveyed to that Island by the sea rovers who plundered the main- land. In a great cavern in the cliffs on the Auckland Islands lies the General Grant, which was wrecked in 1S66. with 50,000 ounces of gold on board. It Is known that the hulk Ls still with- in the cave, but expeditions from Aus- tralia and New Zealand have been baffled by the undertow and the great combers. Somewhere in the East River. C.S.- A., is J2,500.000 in gold. It has lain there since 17S0. when the British fri- gate Huzzar. carrying money for the Royal forces engaged in the American War. struck a rock oppcsite the upper end of Randall Island and sank only a hundred yards from shore Lovers of romance, too. will fin-l 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. The treasure was never retrieved, and no one knowa where to look for it. ^ He Forgot. Mike and Pat were 'genilemeu of the road." It was not otteu tfeey were lucky enough to secure such satisfac- tory quarters as they had on this par- ticular night, but a kind-hearted gentleman had given them a verj- cosy bedroom over the stabler. When the pair were comfortably lying In bed with the light out Pat sud- denly got up and struck a match. He had a good look around, then blew out the match and lay down again. "Why did you do that?" asked Mike. "Oh." replied Pat. "you see. I forgot whether I blew the candle out or not. so I just looked to see." -« High Living. Early mountaineers, says the lead- er of the third attempt to climb Mount Everest, feared lest they should col- lapse at an altitude much less than that which warranted any such fear He believes that almost anyone can re- main for long periods at heights of twenty-one thousand feet or more it' he is not afraid. When European men were supportable at the top of Mont of science were debating whether life Blanc â€" at an altitude of less than six- teen thousand feetâ€" there was a road over a pass in India nineteen thous- and feet high that had been in con- stant use for centuries.

The busy bee may not be so busy as she is supposed to be. E^itomfJlogists who have been checking the flights of a number of marked bees have found that each Insect makes on an average only Ave or six trips a day for honey, and that each trip lasts only about fif- teen minutes. Between trips a bee spends halt an hour or more in the hive and gives at '.east half a day to uninterrupted rest.
