The Normans left their stamp not only on England, but upon all Europe, for while they colonized by no means all the latter, there wns a period In medieval times when the Norman arms had subdued about all of the European continent, and Norman rulers held sway In Italy, Spain, BVance and parts of what Is now Ger- many, as well as in England. Nor did the Normans have to do more than merely nil« moat of these sections to leav'e among them, as one of their legacies, tho given name of Elehard. Meaning "stem kln«," it was naturally a name to appeal to Biich a warlike and dominating race as these Teutons of the middle ages, and one which naturally became unual among tihe various Norman families mlln« In different sections of Europe. In turn, king's names were generally popular among the populaoe In all lands. Hence it became a widespread given name first, and then a family name throughout moot of Europe. Rlcheson, as well a» Riobards, is a shortened form of Richardson, and Rlchey, Ritchie, and Richie are sliort enlngs of Rloheson. Rickey and Rlc- ketts and Rioket are developments of names formed from nicknames of Richard through the uae of the diminu- tive ending "ct" Rlckart, Rlckards, Rlckert and RIcker show German in- fluences, while RIccardI and Rloolardl are natural pronunciations of the Italian tongue.

Rheumatism attacks people when tho blood ia thin and watery, or charged with Impurities, thus settinc up inflammation of the muscles and lolnts. Cold, wet weather or sharp winds may start the pains, but tho cause Is rooted in the blood and to got relief It must be treated through the blood. As a blood builder and nerve tonic Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are un- surpassd, and for that reason do not fall to give relief to rheumatic suffer- ers when given a fair trial. Amon« the rheumatic sufferers who have proTod the great value of this medi- cine is Mrs. Simeon J. Tatton, Indian Head, Sask., who says: â€" "For over two years I was an Intense sufferer from rheumatism and until I began the use of Dr. ^^Ulaons' Pink Pills no treatment that I took hslpod me any. The trouble grew so bad that I could not move around the house without help, and finally I had to give up and go to bed. Words cannot tell how much I suffered, and I oould not bear to have anyone come near me. Finally one of my neighbors strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so. In the courae of a few weeks I could feel an Improve- ment, and I was able to get up. I kept on taking the pills until all traces of tho trouble were gone, and I oould again do my housework, feeling like a new parson. Three years have pass- ed since that and there has never been the slightest return of the trouble, so that I feel safe in saying that the re- lief brought by this- medicine is pei^ manent" You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box fronj The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., BrockvUle, Ont and tbe pretty blue flower* of ttalo sweet-amelling plant are fast (ttlUng beneath the swish of the sickles, or > mint hooka, says an Bngllb writer. During the past eleven months tho distillery has been silent. Now it la busy night and day, aa carloads of tho "herb," as It Is called, are tosaed through the large door of Its upper floor, and the air is filled with a pun- gent odor at first well-nigh overpower- ing. On thla upper fioor are two huge, copper-like stills, each with Us bufo lid, or "cap," suspended above it. Tho bottom Is perforated so that the steam may rise easily to the mint. Three boilermen load tbe stills, and aa soon as they are brimful the cap ia lowered and seated by a water suction arrangement fitted round the brim. Meanwhile the bollermau gets up staam until 401b. is registered, at which degree of beat the steam is al<- lowed to paso Into the wellrflUed atUl. Each load takes seven hours to dlO" til, and die oil and water flow down in- to the separator on the ground floor. To prevent tampering with the pre- cious liquid, this ia kept looked in a cage, ot which the charge man alone poaseasea a key. The process of dla> tilling ended, he unlocks the cace, takes out tlie separator, and pours the oil Into large blue bottles.
