RED ROSE mod ertra good it the ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY Surnames and Their Origin DONOVAN. Varlationt â€" O'Donovan. lUolal Origin â€" Irish, •eurceâ€" A given name. The true Erse av«lUn£ of UUs family or clan name Is "O'DononUudm." That K to Miy, It's as good a spelling as can be rendered In the English alphabet, which does not exactly correspond to thelrl^. Though you might not sfusvect It trom the epeUlng, "O'Donomhaln" Is pronounced exa/Ctly as we pronounce O'Donovan. There may be, perhaps, a alight difference in accent which would betray an Anglo-Saxon tongue to a true Gaelic speaker, but tha>t'8 all. The name offers a good Illustration of the peculiar Irish "m" which some- times le pronounced like a "b" and sometimes', as In this oaae, like a "v." "Donomhan," the chieftain who founded th> clan, and from whom the clan took Its name, was, like "Car- thach," Prince of Desmond and found- er of the MacCarthya, a military lead- er who won renown in the Danish ware, though at a somewhat earlier period. Donomhan, however, had made common cause with the Danes in Limerick, ajid was with them de- cisively beaten by the famous "Brian Borolmhe" ("Boru"), one of the out- standing rulers in the long list of the Msli High Kings, and who wa-s re- sponsible for the passage of laws con- trolling the adoption and us« of (amlly namee. "Donomhan" was slain In later lUS»tln« by a brother of thii monarch, at the battle of Croma. CRAWFORD Racial Origin â€" Scottish. Sourceâ€" A locality. Here i» a family name which surely sounds Bogllaih, but it is dlsUnctly Scottish. It la a place name, and one derived from Gaelic instead of Saxon words, its present ending "ford" re- presenting merely the Influence of English speeches through a number of centuries and the confusion between the word "ford" and a Gaelic word of slmUac sound. In reality the place name signifies "bloody pass." How is came to bear that name is an episode on which avail- able history sheds no .deflnlte light, though it is logical to assume that It must have been the scene of at least one desperate encounter. Among the Scots the name of Craw- ford Is borne principally by those trac- ing their ancestry back to the Clan Lindsay. There are those among the Scottish historians who do not admit this combination of the words "cm' and clan into the cla£oificatlon of the Highland clans, since its first <±iefs were of Norman origin. Yet, its hold- ings were on the edge of the High- lands, it played an important part In the history of the Highlands, and there can be no doubt that while its leaders were originally of Norman ex- traction the bulk of its membership represented Gaelic blood. The name Is explained as a "foni." PSgt Thai Guard Sheep. In tliis country one iieldoiu says any- tbl&K kind about ptvi- Yet tliey are highly esteemed In otiier parts of the world. In the ApennlBss U>«y are used to guard sheep. One man in each vil- lage auts as shepherd to tho commun- ity, and la allowed a sheep-pig to as- sist htm when the animals are out at pasture. The man's task is an easy one he may amuse himself by playing the flute, or he may even sleep for a few hours while the pig faithfully guards the flock. In the evening the same tnistworthy guardian sedulously singles out the sheep belonging to this house or that, and never makes a mls- tuke. Where truffles grow pigs are used to find and root them up. If carefully trained a pig will keep for his master all the truffles he uproots. In Ireland, of course, the pig's mer- its have always been recognized. There he is the "glntleman tliat pays the rlnt" NERV'OVS DEPKESm TEETHING TROUBLES Baby's teetiing time is a time of worry and anxiety to most mothers. The little ones become cross; peevis-h; their little stomach becomes deranged and constipation and colic sets in. To make the teething period easy on baby the stomach and bowels must be kept sweet and regular. This can be done by the use of Baby's Own Tablets â€" the ideal laxative for little ones. The Tab- lets are a sure relief tor all the minor ailments of childhood such as consti- pation, colic, indigestion, colds and slmiple fevers. They always do good • â€" never harm. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Why People Are Low Spirited and Depressed. Nearly all women and most men suf- fer at times from fits of depression and low spirits. Everything seems a bur^ den; then come periods of nervous Ir- ritability, headaches and weariness. People who suffer this way lack vital- ity because their blood Is poor and nerves are starved in consequence. The only way the nerves can be reached is through the blood. By en- riching the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the starved nerves are sup- plied with Just the elements they need. This is proved by the experience of Mrs. J. E. Dadson, 12th Ave. East, Vancouver, B.C., who says: â€" "About three years ago I became very weak and nervous. I had liains in my side and back, and also suffered from fre- quent pains in the back of my head and neck. I was hardly able to do anything about the house. I would wake with a start in the night and my heart would flutte:- so that It al- most choked me. I tried much doc- tor's medicine but It did me no per- manent good. One day I road about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them a trial. These pills pro- duced such a beneficial change in a short time that I kept taking them un- til I had used a dozen boxes. By this time there was such an Imiprovement In my condition that friends would ask me what I was taking, and of course I was only too pleased to tell them it wai Dr. Williams' Pink PiUs. I am now feeling like a new person and am doing my own housework. We would not now be without Dr. Williams' Pink A Flowery Controveny . A tear was In tbe Violet's eye, A smile was on ber lip; She said, when asked the reason why, "I saw the old t'owallp." Wild rose laughed In the morning brecBe, As back and forth she swung.

And all was peace once more. â€"Muriel E. Hunt RHEUMATISM GONE, SAYS MONTREAL HOTEL MAN Words With Changed Meanings. It we wish to label anything sti-ange or barbarous we say It Is "outlandish," but when the Bible speaks of an "out- landish woman" it means a foreigner. Another curious expreeslon in tho Authorized Version Is "The other bas- ket had very naughty flgs." That means fruit which was good for naught. . Today the word "naughty" means "lU-behaved." In the Prayer Book the word "presently" means "at the present time," but to-day it always ^"if. *".^® _°"!!1".. means a future time, though not far distant. When the Autharised Version of the Scriptures was first printed the word "careful" meant "full of care and anxiety," ae in "careworn," but it a man were said to be careful it would to-day be a good testimonial. Thus, when the New Testament tells us to "be careful for nothing," it is not en- Joining wastefulness and speaking against thrift, but simply telling us not to worry about anything. A Woodland Scene. One bright, sunny day In June I went by myself into the woods. As I wandered on I came to a little stream. I stopped to admire it and Its snxr- roundlnga. The sun was shining through the trees making the pure water sparkle like diamonds. Next to the stream stood three trees. They were all alike in size, and tow- ered above all the rest. The scene had a soothing effect upon me and 1 lay down upon the soft, mossy bank with my face to the sky. The rustling of tho leaves was putting me to sleep and 1 thought only of the beauties of nature. Suddenly I was startled by a little turrj' creature which flited by me as if on wings. I lay very still for it was a rabbit, and 1 did not want to frighten it. I watched it drink the pure sun- kissed waters of the stream. The rabbit did not even notice me, but drank on in peace. Bang! I Jumped up at this, for It was the sound of a gun. When I again looked at the stream, I saw that my little friend was no longer drinking, but lay by the stream dead. Alas! Not even in the woods can there be peace. The world is wicked. â€" C. D. H. F. A. Mongeau Tells How He Recovered Strength After Eight Years of Rheumatism. F. A. Mungeau, popular night clerk at the Prince of Wales Hotel, 17 and 19 McGUl College Avenue, .Montreal, Canada, lends bis name to further the cause of Tanlac, the treatment that has proved of such great benefit to him. "After all Tanlac has done for me," said Mr. Mongeau, "I Just feel like praising it to everybody. Eight years of muscular rheumatism had Just about made a cripple of me. I got to whore I simply had to limp around on a cane. My nerves became affected, my sleep unsound and I felt complete- ly knocked out. "Six bottles of Tanlac, taken eight months ago, made a new man of me and I have had no further trouble with rheumatism, or my health, since. My nerves are steady a^ a die, I sleep fine and feel tlie same way. Anyone want- ing to know of me what Tanlac will do. Just phone me here at the hotel." Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug- gists.

Freckles for Beauty. The new Sunlight League of Britain might have counted on th« blessing of George Meredith, for whom sunburn and freckles were beauty's greatest adjuncts.

GREEN TEA IMPORTS LARGER. Statistics from Ottawa show that in 1923 â€" 553,977 pounds more Green Tea were brought into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than In 1922. The reason given is that the line quality Green Teas of India and Ceylon have displaced the Inferior Japan and China Greens which, due to their low price, were Imported heavily some years ago. Saluda Tea Company Is the largest importer of India and Ceylon Green Teas. Mosquitoes and Malaria. It is estimated that the deaths an- nually from malaria number some two millions, and this figure may probably be multiplied by two or three hundred If we would arrive at the total number of people In the world affected by the complaint Malaria is mainly a dis- ease of the tropics, and is caused by a minute parasite in the blood. The parasites in one malaria patient may number anytliing from one hundred to a thousand millions. In many cases there are more parasites In the sys- tem of a malaria patient than there are people on the earth, and for ages It was believed that marshes and malaria were in some way connected. Sir Ronald Ross discovered that It was not the marsh but the mosquito which bred in the marsh which was the originator of the disease, and he declares that the parasite of malaria Is, to the mosquito which carries it, as a threepenny-bit would be to a hippo- potamus! When a disease-carrying mosquito bites, it Injects a saliva In which are the malaria parasites. These are cai^ ried into the human circulatory sys- tem and so throughout the body. The cure for malaria is quinine, but the prevention ot malaria is the des- truction of the mosquito in which it breeds. .J Don't. Don't be like folks who laugh and sing Along the summer ways. But grunt and groan when winter brings The gloom of duller days. Don't be like folks' who vow they're chums Along each level mile. But when the roughened pathway comes Forsake one at the stile! Don't be like folks who fear to bear A little trouble-pack. For life brings everyone a share Of bothers In its track. So, if you're down, spring up again. And when you're on your feet â€" Wipe off each mark of ooward-staln. Press onward through the sun or rain â€" Show by your heart and soul and brain Pluck's very hard to beat! â€" Liaian Gaxd. The Right Attitude. Be careful how you "I am" your ml» Sortunes. The trouble with, most ot us is that we "I am" our misfortunea too much. We say "I am sick"; "I am tired"; "I am discouraged"; "I aia poor"; "I am down on my luck"; "t am a failure." All sorts of people am constantly making use of negative, destructive expressions. They are always talking down, complaining about one thing or another. In winter they will say "Did anj-ona ever see such beastly weather as we ore having? This snow and sleet make me ill. I am never free from, a cold. I'm so afraid it will develop into pneumonia;" In the summer it is Just the same: "I wonder If it Is ever going to stop raining?" "It looks as if we are not going to have any summer!" They are constantly complaining o£ things and are always "tired," "fag- ged," "played out," "not fit for any- thing.". And, as John Henry would say: "It's all wrong!" Companionship with a powerful per- son is never to be trusted. Classified Advertisements WANTEDâ€" .MAN TO OPERATH local Auto Supply Branch.
