fEBROSE COFFEE P^^^^ people- Roasted and packed tame c.i day in airtight cans Surnames and Their Origin TALUMAN Variation* â€" Dollman, Dolman, Dalman, Aleman, Allman, Lallimande. Racial Origin â€" Norman French. Sourceâ€" Geographical. Here Is a erroup of family names, all fipom the sein« source, but In every one of which all clue to that source is well concealed. These names were originally addi- tions to given names which were des- criptive of th« nationality of the coun- try from which the bearers bad come. During tbe period of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries th.« EngU»h language had not dieveloped the name "Germany," which, by the way. Is the name for Germany in no other language than English. The common word in those days was that from which the modem French name for Germany has de- veloped "Almaine," or "Aimayn." Merchants and artisans who came to England from the inland sections of Germany (in contrast to those from the seaports, who were called "Baat- erllngs") were known either by some such title as "Raynard d'Almaine" ('â- Raynard of Almaine") or "Raynard le Alemaunde." "Le Aleman," "de Al- manla" also ar© forms frequently met with in the old records. It is easy to &ee how such descrip- tive additions to a name would be cor- ropted into some form that sounded like them as son as the medieval im- migrant had been in England long enough for his neighbors to forget their real meaning. Thus "d'Almaine" has become either Tallman or Dollman, an "le Aleman" has become Aleman. The variation Lallimande probably has come into England at a later period from the French, for Norman-Prench ceased to be the predominant tongue of Englad before it bad a chance to shorten the "le" into the "1" of mod- em French. Even before words be- ginning with a vowel it is found in the old records in die form o( "Je." MaeDOWELL Variations â€" MacDowall, Dowall, Oow- ell, MacDholl, MacCoul, MaeCoot. Racial Origin â€" Scottish. Source â€" A given name. This group of names constitutes a cla^ of variations of the clan name of MacDougall, borne by one of the lead- ing clans of Scotland, and all of them occur as family names adopted by branches or septs of that clan. Cer- tain of them, too, ane not exclusively I Scottish, but are to be found in Ire- land as well. That the same names should spring j up independently In Scotland and Ire- ' land, though in some cases from dlf- ' ferent sources, is not strange, for the i bulk of the Scottish Highland clana : trace back to various periods of con- I quest and colonization of Scotland by the Dalrladlc Scots from the north of Ireland, virtually all of "which took place prior to the fifth century A.D. The difference in the Gaelic of the High- lands and that of Ireland is more a difference of dialect than of language. The family names in this group, like that of MacDougaU, trace back to the given name of Dugal, from the Gaelic "dhu," meaning "dark," and "gall," for "stranger." In the very early period this was the Highlander's name for a man of the low country, but is very quickly became a given name. The family name of MacCoul was more anciently spelled "Makoul." Birds of the Night. Nlghthawka and whippoorwills work chffeny at night, when most otiier bird* are off doty, and at daybreak their work is taken up by the swifts and swallows. Theie birds are provided with big scoopnet mouths, and as they swing through the air over wide areas of country they Meoop up almost un- believable numbers of insects. Homing pigeons probably are closer to the human family than any other form of winged life. The birds have remarkable Intalligence. They mate In pairs, and the female of each union has exercised her right of suffrage to the extent that the male helps her in hatching out the eggs and in caring for and feeding the young. BABY'S m\ TABLETS ALWAYS KEPT Oil HAi\D Mrs. David Gagne, St. Godfrey, Que., writes: â€" "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my three little ones and have found them such an excellent medicine that I alwayc keep them on hand and would strongly advise all other mothers to do the same thing." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which quickly relieve consti- pation and indigestion ; break up colds and simple fevers and promote that healthful refreshing sleep which makes the baby thrive. They are sold by all medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., BrockviUe, Ont. meal, only to And that through an un- (ortaaate mistake, although ttM food was there, aot a thing was to be found to cook it in.

An Irishman with a reputation for wit was Invited to a dinner-party in the hope that he would amuse the guests, but from the beginning to the end of the dinner he preserved a seri- ous face. The host thought this very strange. "Why, old fellow," he said, " I don't believe - the biggest fool In Ireland couJd make you laugh to-night!"

HmadOHiM: Toronto Ice Cream on Mt. Everest. In the Assault On Mt. Everest, the recent account by Gen. Charles Gran- ville Bruce and other members of the expedition of 1922 of their attempt, so nearly successful, to conquer the still uuconquered crowning peak of the Himalayas, nothing Is more note- worthy than their experience in secur- ing the common necessaries of life â€" food and sleep. They were not simple matters to obtain on the terrible, wind-swept slopes and in the rarefied air and the Intense cold of the high- est camps'. The highest camp of the first climb- ing party had to be made upon peril- ously steep ground, upon a smooth, sloping slab of rock, across the foot of which they hastily piled a ridge of small stones so that they should not slide off. "It was not a fiituation that promised for either of us a bountiful repose," says Mr. George Leigh Mal- lory, who, as the reader will remem- ber, lost his life In the expedition of 1924, "for one would be obliged to lie along the slope, and the only check to his tendency to slip down would be the body of the other. However, there was the little tent making a gallant effort to hold itself proudly and well." There were two such tents; and af- ter a brief meal of which hot tinned soup was the important part, the four climbers went early to restâ€" if they couldâ€" for the morrow's final climb, in which they hoped to reach the crest. "To the civilized man who gets into bed after the customary easy routine," continues Mr. Mallory, "the disposi- tions In a climber's tent may seem strangely intricate. In the first place he has to arrange about his boots. He must start next morning if possible with warm feet and in boots not alto- gether frozen stiff. He may choose to go to bed in his' boots, and If his feet are warm when he turns In, It may be that he can do no better. His feet will probably keep warm in the sleeping bag if he wears his bed socks over his boots, and then he will not have to en- dure the pains of pulling on and wear- ing frozen boots in the morning. At this camp I adopted a different plan â€" to wear moccasins instead of boots during the night and keep them on un- til the last possible moment before starting. But if a man takes his boots oft, where is he to keep them warm? Climbing boots are not good to cud- dle, and there will be no room for them with two in a double sleeping bag. Mine were accommodated in a ruck sack and put under my head for a pillow. It Is not often that a man uses the ^ead for warming things; nevertheless, they kept warm enough and were scarcely frozen in the morn- ing. Norton's entrjince Into our double bag was a grievlous disturbance; con- sidering how long and slim he is. It is astonishing how much room he re- quired. We were pressed so tight to- gether that if either moved a corres- ponding manoeuvre was' required of the other. I soon discovered as the chief item of interest in the place where 1 lay a certain boulder, immov- able and excruciatingly sharp, that came up between my shoulder blades. How in those circumstances we achieved sleepâ€" and 1 believe both of us were sometimes uncon.jcious in a light, intermittent slumberâ€" I cannot explain. Perhaps the fact that we of- ten breathless from exhaustion or dis- comfort and were obliged to breathe deep helped us to sleep, as deep breathing often will. In spite of every- thing the night was endurable; to pass the sleepless Intervals thoughts were not far to seek; we were able to feel seme satisfaction In the mere exist- ence cf this camp â€" the two small tents perched there on the vast moun- tain side of snow-bound roclw and actually higher, at twenty-five thous- and feet, than any climbing party had been before. 'Haag it all!' we mut- tered. 'It's not so bad!" " The same gay and gallant spirit per- sisted when next day after their at- tempt to reach the .summit had failed they made their way back, supperles.s and exhausted, to a lower camp, where they anticipated a comforting hot "The more I know about Tanlac the more 1 feel like praising it," says Mrs. Samuel Shelly, 66 Wood St., Toronto, Ont., Canada.

The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitality than men realize, and there is always something more to do. No wonder w^omen's backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. No wonder why they get deprescsed and irritable, suffer from headaches, and always feel out of sorts. But of course all women are not like that. What is the difference? A woman with plenfy of healthy red blood in her veins finds work In the home easy; her vitality is at par. This points the way to health in women who feel run down and depressed. Make new rich blood. You can do it with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have the marvellous property of building up the blood and toning up the nerves. That is proved by the case of Mrs. H. Eppinger, Scott Street, Vancouver, B.C.. who says: â€" "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought back my health and strength and restored my nerves to normal condition after other medicines had failed. It was after the birth of my second child that I became so anaemic and nervous that I thought I would lose my mind as well as my strength. 1 tried .several medi- cines, but got no relief until 1 was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using a few boxes of theise I could see a change. I felt stronger; my appetite was better, I slept better, and my nerves were stronger. 1 con- tinued the use of the pills for some time, and again found myself a well woman, and I can sincerely say that my health has since been the best. I can cheerfully recommend the pills to all weak, run down women." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., BrockviUe, Ont. » »â- â€" No More Diving Suits? The invention by the Japanese of a diving appliance which dispenses with the use of pumping promises to revo- lutionize the pearling industry. The new appliance consists of a small mask, with face glass and rub- ber edge, which covers the eyes and nose. The mask Is connected to a cylinder about 161b. in weight, filled with compressed air, which is carried on the chest. The supply of air to the nose is re- gulated by the mouth, which controls an attachment to a tube connecting the cylinder with the mask. The old ecumbersome diving suit is thus dispensed with, and the diver, with the greater freedom allowed to his limbs, can work mere expeditious- ly. mad and I had a sickly, sallow com- plexion. "Tanlac has Increased my weight li pounds, and has given me a wonderful appetite. My nerves are steady. I sleep well and have health and strength that makes life a pleasure."

The Modest Stevenson. The only visit that Robert Louis Stevenson paid to the bookshop of Mr. Walter T. Spencer, in London, made a lasting impression on the owner. In Forty Years In My Bookshop Mr. Spencer thus describes it: Always I remember the night when Robert Louis Stevenson came into my shop. It was in the year 1885 that he made his one call on me, during a break in a Journey from Edinburgh to Bournemouth. The day had been very wet, and he sat down wearily in a chair in my shop parlor to examine some pamphlets that he had inquired about. He told me that one of his shoes leaked, and I suggested that he take it off and allow it to be dried. I thought Mr. Stevenson would be In- terested to see a catalogue that I had Just issued in which the first edition of his New Arabian Nights (two vol- umes, published In 1882) was listed at 8s. 6d. In the original cloth. A moment earlier he had been depressed by the sight on my shelves of some sixty copies of the book â€" a library surplus that I had purchased for a shilling a volume. I can see now the change on his face as he looked up from the cata^ logue. "But, Mr. Spencer," he said wist- fully, "no one asks about first editions of my books, do they?" Poor Stevenson's lack of self-con- fidence was nevei justified, for the book gradually increased in price, moving to four guineas, to six, to eight At the sale of Colonel Prl- deaux's library I gave £47 for a copy. But neither R.L.S. nor I. as we sat there talking on that rainy night, ever thought I should live to see the day when, knowing how limited is the edi- tion, I had to bid £101, as I dtd In 1921, for a book that thirty-seven years earlier I had priced at 8s. 6d.

Jones had found a slip of paper on his lawn. It was an accurate and de- tailed plan of his private office. The exact position of the stairs was noted. Notes showed which doors swung in and which swung out. Even the win- dows were set down. Jones was alarm- ed. "Some burglar must be going to raid my office," he told his family. "Oh. that isn't it," cried his daugh- ter, glancing at the sketch. "Those notes are in Jack's handwriting. He's coming down to yowt oflice to ask you to let him marry me."
