N{»cN«vin, Bone, Bona««t VaHatlei Bow«n< RMlar Originâ€" Irlth. •oyre*â€" A given name. Tile family name of NeTin aliouhl not be coafuied wltb that of Nlven, thongh, owlii< to the ease with which one form may be corrupted Into the other throuKh the simple transpoel- tlon of Towela which sound very much alike, th«re Is no doubt that there bare been many instances in which NlTen haa been changed into Nevin, and Tlce versa. The family name of Nevin, unlike Nlven, is dlsUnctly Irish. It is not found aojiong the historical lists of tha Scottish clans. It is derived from tl>« (Ivan name of "Cnamhln," which means a bone," â€" sntl appears tn Its true IriaE form as "O'Cnaimhln" or "MacCnalmhin," with a pronunciation virtually the same as "nevin." In some cases Irish clans of thin name trace it baclc to a younger broth- er of "Owen Mor," or Owen the Great, one of the ancient Irish monarctiB, though the family name does not track bHQf'. to this same individual in all cttaks. At variou-s periods under pressure of English laws and customs, the name has been translated Into the English equivalent "Bone," and Into B'^ass and Bowen on account of their similar sounds. There is a family name of Bowen, also of Welsh origin, but it is not the same, being the modem form of "Ap* Owen," or "aon of Owen." ARBUTHNOT Racial Origin â€" Scottish. 8t>ure»â€" A locality. Bevttral conflicting and fenclful explanations have been given of the origin of the family name of Arbuth- not The truth Is that it is one of thoee family names which were originally place names, and in its first use it de- signated merely the place from which the individual had come or the terri- tory over which he held some sort of BuzMtiinty. Arbuthnot Is a place in Scotland. The older records show it was at one time spelled Aberbttthnoth. One family bearing this name at least traces back in unbroken line to the period in the Middle Agea when the name was deliberately adopted as a result of the feudal sway which it held over the district But while there is a chance that any one bearing this family name niight trace his ancestry epeciflcaily to this family at some period or other, it does not necessarily follow that such is the | case. Some ancestor who merely I lived in that district might have be- come known by the name upon his moving to some other locality. Wheth- er feudal sway or mere former resi- dence was indicated Science Baffled by Scents. Science can do intirveU fiir sight,! hciiriug. and touch, but so (ar it hat i aci,:omplinbed nothing for oar sense of smell. Attempts have been made to And the means by wtiic!i deer and other animals detect a uum's pietunce even though he is a mile or more away and out of sight. Ii seems (airly certain that the secret lies in a wonderfully keen sense of smell, yet elaborate tests have not proved this. Civilized man has lost the keen power of smell with whicli be waB originally endowedd, but many savage races retain it. A tribe in N'orthern Japan track game by the nose alonor exactly like a dog. There is also an Indian tribe In Brazil with the same gift Occasionally a member of one of the white races Is found with similar powers. Dean BuclUand, the British geologist., could tell the locality in which he happened to bo simply by smelling the earth. Once, on being lost while out riding with some friends be picked up a handful of earth, smelt , it, and announced, correctly, that they , were near Uxbrldge. James Mitchell, the blind deaf-mute, invariably recog- nized his friends by the odor peculiar to tliem when they entered bis room. So far from deciding how our olfac- ; tory nerves work, science has not yet discovered what scent Is. A grain of . musk, for example, will perfume a room ; for years, and yet, on being weighed, ; will be found not to have diminished ^ even a fraction In size.

Years go, when I lived in a cold house and the plants would freeze now and then or get chilled enough never to be really nice, I learned the value tattooing made on her skin or of ai leries of small scars made in a pat- tern across her chest and shoulders. Children take things very literally. During a very muddy spell we look out of the window and saw a team al- most stuck in the mud and some one remarked: "My! just look at those' of tl»e hardy bulbs.

Ilie makins of plaster masks from l!vi!;g (aces bids (air to supersede por- trait-painting and photography in Vienna. A well-know i sculptor has established a studio (or this purpose, and Is doing a thriving business â€" the majority o( his clients being women. A mask of this kind can be made in a quarter o( an hour, and costs about twenty-five dollars. The skin Is •smeared all over with grease, the eyes closed with sticking plaster and the ears stuffed with cotton wool. A tube between the lips, and another In the nostril, prevents suffocation, while silk threads are placed on the skin before the plaster is put on to make it easy to remove when tlie "sitting" ia over. Masks of women made in this way are o(ten finished off with wigs, while thaee of men may be adorned with hats. Their terrible rigidity and death- like pallor have an effect which Is both weird and grueisome to the last de- gree. But the sculptor could not get orders (or statues and he had to live. So he started this business, which bida fair to become (ar more remunerative than the mere carving of marble. Is Britain Tilting? Is Britain becoming higher In the I north and lower in the south? Scien- tists say that it Is. I Recently a number of readings have I been taken to find out the height above sea-level o( the land in various districts, The results show that since %he last readings were taken, about fifty years ago, the North o( Scotland has risen about bal( an Inch, while the South o( England has sunk by rather less than that distance. It is already an accepted fact that land is rising and falling in other â- parts of the world. The coast o( Nor- way, (or instance, Is rising about halt an Inch a year, while the coast of Hol- land Is sinking by that amount. Britain once (ormed part o( the mainland o( Europe. The land in be- tween gradually sank until the sea covered . It and formed the English Channel and the North Sea. Such earth movements, gradual or convulsive, are in operation ceaseless- ly upon the earth's surface. Their im- pulse seemingly arises from the (act that, the core o( the earth being o( heavier material than the crust on which we live, the latter naturally re- sponds to the expansion or shrinkage o( the mass, largely metallic, which it surrounds.

A Returned Evil. .\n American tourist was shown to a room in a hotel in Brussels, where he found twenty candles stuck In a chan- delier. As It was dark, the attendant lighted them all, but the guest had been In European hotels before and made him put them out immediately. This was o( no avail, however,. In his bin next day he (ound them charged â€" "Twenty candles, ten (rancs" (two dol- lars). He went back to the room and took out all the candles, wrapped each one in a bit o( paper and slipped them into his overcoat pocket. When he was about to leave the house he found the servants drawn up in two lines in the hall, ten men servants on one side, the maid servants on the other, all smiling and ready (or the expected tip. Then he drew out his package and dls- trlbutd the candles, one to each.. "Al- low me, monsieur," he said, with a bow; "permit me, madame. They are very superior candles. I can assure you, I paid ten cents apiece for them." Then he stalked out and le(t them all staring at the candles like a set of wooden Images. A Fight Under the Sea. A diver named Cappndona tells a graphic story of a terrific underwater encounter which he has just had with a stlng-ray more than a yard square. While repairing cables off the French Mediterranean coast Cappa- dona spotted the fish behind soni>' rocks. Suddenly the ray dashed at him and almost stunned him with a blow o( the tail. The man detended himseK with the dagger divers always carry and stab- bed the fish between the eyes^ but a perfect rain of tail blows (ollowed, and the fish only made off when apparently bleeding to death. The sting-ray emits electrical shocks with its tail. When drawn up, Cappadona was (ound to have a seriously wounded arm. Headache Bathe the (orehead with Mlnard's In water. Also Inhale.

Snow, nation- ally known psychologist, automibile drivers between the ages o( 30 and 39 are least likely to have accidents^ while those (rom 20 to 29 are consti- tutionally more careless. The old supposition that married men are lese likely than single men to have acci- dents has been definitely dlsproven, he declares. Fitnees to drive an auto- mobile is solely a matter of intelli- gence, caution and quick nervous re- action to the needs of a sudden emer- gency. « You can always tell the age of a Japanese woman by looking at her hair. She wears a gold pin in her hair until she reaches the age of 26. At 30, the pin is white. At 40, the women wear plain shell combs. It would take a mind reader toj^ell the age of an American woman •y her hair. They bob from 6 to 96. ♦ >.liMrd'« LlniDMirt tor KheumaUsiiw TROUBLED WITH ECZEMAiN FACE! Very Itchy. Caused Erup- tions.

NERVES AND FAINTING SPELLS Sent Woman to Bed. Great Change After Taking Lydia L Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Sarnia, Ontario.â€" " After my girlie was born I was a wreck. My nsryea were too terrible for words and 1 sim- ply could not stand or walk without pains. 1 suffered with fainting spells vmtil I was no longer any good for my hou.sehold duties and had to take to my bed. The doctor said 1 should have an operation, but I was not in a fit condition at that time. My neighbor said, 'Why don't you try Lydia E. PinUham's Veg- etable Compound? I am sure it will do you good and will save those doctor's bills. So I was advised by my husband to try it after 1 told him about it. I am very thankful to say that 1 v.'as soon able to take a few boarders for a while as rooms were scarce at that time. My baby is 17 months old now and 1 have not yet had an operation, thanks to your medicine. I have recommended the Vegetable Compound to a few people I know and have told them the Kood it has done me. I know I feel and look a dif- ferent woman these last few months and I certainly would not be without a bottle of your medicine in the house.
