RED ROSE TEA.*]s good tef T4 and extra good U the ORANGE PEKOE QUAUTY Snrnames and Their Origb MUTTON Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" A locality, also a charaetar- latic. This is a family name, which, U one Judged it by one of its meanings alone flhould be claaaified as a variation of the names Houghton and Haughtoa, for in a large number of caaee It is d«- rived from a place name which means "high-town." Both the place and the name, however (which is Hutton), havd an Identity distinct from those concerned In the origin of the namea Hoghton and Haugbton. But there Is another derivation of the family name, from the old Norman- French word "hutain," meaning "prond." The mention of euch char- acteristics aa this in connection with a man's name with the same given name, was quite common in the middle ages. At that period, just prior to tha development of family names and co- Incident with It, populations were In- creasing so rapidily, and shifting as w«U, and the same given names were applied to so many persons, that some further method of differentiation, such aa mention <^ the place whence a man had come, or of some personal char- acteristic of his, was the_rule rather than the exception. Tlioae who can trace their ancestry back to a form of the name prefixed either by "de" or "le" will have no dif- ficulty in determining whether their family names developed from the place name or th« nickname. The "de" indicates the former and the "le" the latter. MUNSON. Variation* â€" Monson, Manson. Racial Origin â€" English, also Scottish. Source â€" Given namea. Munson is a family name of quite simple and regular origin, but you'd hardly guesa the given name from which it comes unless you were fa- miliar with the manner In which the English of the Middle Ages abbrevi- ated their given namea. Many of the shortened forms of given namea were the same as those we use to-day, such as Dick for Richard, Har- ry for Henry, Ed. for Edward, Edgar or Edmond, and so on. But there was also a method of using other syllables of a name than the first for puri)oaeB of abbreviation and variation. This has virtually disappeared among Eng- lish-speaking peoples, though it re- mains among the Germans, among whom Hans for John (from Johannes) Is widespread. In medieval England "Munn," "Mun" and "Mon" were regular variations of E^dmond and Edmund, and the simple addition of the ending 'son" to one or the other of these forms has given na the patronymics Munson, Monson and in some cases, through further varia- tion, Manson Manson, however, is more likely to be of Scottish origin, a development of "Magnua-son." This is the name of one'of the septs or brandies of the Clan Gunn, that clan which rose to pro- minence in the fifteenth century as tha fcrflowers of George Gunn, the "Crown- er" or Coroner, a historic figure la Scottish history. Gcnnan Factories Workers Paid in Shoes. When pay day came around in I'er- masens, Gt-rraany, recently, the fac- I tory owner.j wert' up against it for : cash. The scarcity of liquid capital Is I quite as acute in the shoe industry as ( it is in any branch of German trade. I A novel way was sought, out of the dilemma. Instead of paying the men [ off in marks, they gave ihum each a pair of shoes as part payment of their wages. An hour later virtually the whole shoe working population bad been transformed into a ^ales aggregation. From store to store wandered heads of families, trying to dispose of their I pair of shoes in return for thine.^ to ' eat. A Musics.! Creed for Canadian ' Music Lovers.

Harris prided himself on a thorough knowledge of horses and their habits, and so he was interested when, on a visit to the country, he saw a farmer having some trouble with his mount. It would start, amble along s'lowly for a short distance and then stop. Then the farmer would have great dif- ficulty in getting it started again. _ Finally Harris approached the farmer and asked kindly: "Is your horse sick?" "Not as I know of," was the short reply. Is he balky?" "No. But he's so afraid I'll say •Whoa!' and he won't hear me that ho etops every once in a while to listen."

When you are so run down in health that It Impairs the efliciency of your work as well as your power to enjoy your leisure hours, or obtain rest, it is time you looked to the cause. If you do not, a serious breakdown is almost sure to result sooner or later. In near- ly all cases this condition, which doc- tors usually describe as general debility, is due to poor blood â€" blood that is deficient in red corpuscles. When the blood is thin and weak your whole system suffers. You lose a.p- petite, have no energy, your nerves trc/uble you and you feel restless. What you need is help to build up your blood and you should begin at onoe to make your blood rich and red by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You will soon notice the difference in your health by a better appetite and in- creased vigor. The reason is that the new blood created by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stimulates all the organs of the body to healthy activity, and so the system gains nourishment and strength.

W^ I«* ^t Every ^Harcftvat e Store 1 A Boy With a Big Conscience. A curious thing happened to me when I was a lad ! " remarked old Mr. Markham. "When I was ten years old my father died, leaving my mother in straitened circumstances with a large family to support. My older sisters at once began to teach, and as soon as I was old enough I fotind a job in a clothing store. The work was not hard, but one thing troubled me. My father was a teetotaler and had taught me to think it wrong to drink. Well, there waa an old gentleman wbo stopped daily at the store on his way home and look a drink of whiskey. We did not sell whiskey, but he kept his bottle and glass there because it was convenient. As I was the young- est clerk, it was my duty to bring the bottle and glass when he came in. "Well, I worried about it a good deal and finally went to the head ot" the firm and told him my conscience would not allow me to encourage any man to drink. He looked at me in amazement; then his face turned red, and he cried, 'See here, boy, are you trying to be impudent?' â- ' 'No, sir,' I replied, 'but I just don't think it's right." " 'Well,' he said, 'no one stays in my store who can't take orders from mel You may get your pay and leave at the end of the week.' "That was a blow! When I went home I told my mother the news. She sighed and said: 'Y'ou were quite right, my son. I would not have you disobey your conscience for all the money in the world!' "When the week ended and 1 was paid in full I was told to my great as- tonishment that the firm would pre- sent me with any suit of clothes in the store that I wished to have. 1 was much pleased and walked out with my new suit under my arm> feeling almost cheerful. "I had not gone two stepe before one of the owners of the drug store next door accosted me. 'Want a Job?' he asked. "I was too much astonished to ans- wer. "I hear you're leaving Brown's on account of an abnormally developed conscience!' he went on. 'Well, that's the kind of a young fellow we are needing in our business. Can't have too much conscience in a drug "store. Somebody's life might depend on it." "1 had recovered my wits by that time. 'I'll be glad to get the work, sir, und I'll do my best.' 1 said. "When I went home and toM my mother and showed her my suit she exclaimed: 'I knew you were right, but we no not always have such quick returns for a little investment in do- ing right!" " Gone Forever. Passenger (after the first night on board ship) â€" "I say, where haw my clothas gone?" stewardâ€" "Where did you put them?""
