Often men were tagged with such names and managed to lose them again within a short time. Mors often they bore them to their graves, but did not always pass them on to their children. LANE Variations â€" Lahin, Lehana. Racial Origin â€" Irish. Source â€" A given name. The family name of Iiane Is very of- ten of English origin, being derived tram our ordinary word "lane." But the Lanes of Irish extraction trace heir name to an entirely dlffer- •nt source, which antedates tiie Elng- 'Uflh family name by some five or six eanturies-. It was somewhere In the neighbor- hood of the years S60 to 600 A.D. that iha Lane clan first appears on the old trlah records. The time can only be estimated by reference to known data In connection with certain chieftains who wera of the same generation as ^.^â- â- i-xsrri.-vr-:':* the Lane clan or trlba. This chieftain's name was "Leath- an." Remember that this "th" is not pronounced like the Elgulsh "th," but more aa a faint "h." The clan name derived from this given name (which had the meaning of "broad") was "O'Leathaln," which would be pro- nounced, as nearly as can be indicated in English, "O'Lee-ane," without mak- ing too much of a break between the two syllables. « Origin of the Pittno Recital. Public pianoforte recitals now form so large a part in the life of musicians and mufiic-loverg that we do not al- ways realize they are a comparatively recent development. Private recitals of various kinds, and generally of an informal nature, have been common since the days when David played the harp before King Saul, and as a rule they have been in the houses of the rich and noble. The first public piano- forte recital in London was given in 1788 by John Christian Bach, a son of the composer of the B minor Mass, who settled In this country as a teach- er, winning a great reputation for his command of graceful and light music and being generally known as "the English Bach," just a» John Field, the Irishman living In Russia, was known as "the Russian Field." The custom did not become general tor three- Quarters of a century after this, how- aver, and It was Liszt, who was bom in 1811, who first feally made them an important feaura In a pianist's career. that "if any one sneezes three nights in EuccesAion, it may be uken aa a <ign that some one will die in the house."

There was, says an article in the Mentor, unfailing beauty and romance In the married life of Mark Twain and the wife of his youth. He called her Livy, and she called him Youth, and they were happy together for thirty- four years. Her full name was Olivia Langdon. and she was the sister of Charley Langdon, one of Mark Twain's companions on the Quaker City when the "Innocents" sailed "Abroad." During that trip Charley showed Mark Tw^ain a dainty miniature pic- ture of his sister. It caught the young writer's fancy. Some time after the return of the "Innocents" Mark Twain was invited to meet the Langdon family, and then he saw the lovely face of the miniature. Olivia Langdon was twenty-two years old at the time. She was at first dazed and faaotnated by the rising young genius; then as his devotion to her became apparent she gave him first admiration, then affec- tion, and finally love. Jorvis Langdon, her father, a well-to-do merchant of Blmira. accepted Mark Twain as a suitor from the start and remained bis staunch admirer and friend. There were some doubts at first, bat the continued success of Mark Twain soon made the Langdon household realize the true value of the man who had asked to Join their family. The wedding took place on February 2, 1870, and the plan of the young people was to go to Buffalo, where Mark Twain was engaged In newspaper work and take up a modest residence in a boarding house. At least that was Mark Twain's understanding of the matter. When, however, the day af- ter the wedding, (h« bride aind groom arrived in Buttalo, they found a luxuri- ous sleigh at the station waiting to convey them to the "boarding house" that the bridegroom had picked out They drove and drove and finally turned into fashionable Delaware Avenue and stopped before an attrac- tive house. The doors were open, and inside was a fairyland of lights. There stood all their friends. The two were led through beautiful rooms newly aii- pointed and furnished groom was dazed and unable to under- atand the meaning of It all until his young wife, with her hand on his arm, said, "Don't you undontand, TouQi, it is all ours â€" everything â€" a gift from father." Still he could not undeistand It until Mr. Langdon brought them a little box and. opening It, handed thorn the deeds. Then came the true Mark Twain touch. "Mr. Langdon," h« aald slowly, "whenever you are in Buffalo. If it is twice a year, come right here. Bring your bag and atay OTemlght If yon want to. It shan't cost you a cent" Indigestion Disappears When the Blood is Enriched. The urgent need of all who sulfer from indigestion is a tonic to enrich the blood. Pain and distress after | eating is the way the stomach shows | that it is too weak to perform the work of digesting the food taken. In j this condition some people foolishly resort to purgatives, but these only further aggravate the trouBle. New strength Is given weak stom- achs by Dr Williams' Pink Pills be- cause these pills enrich and purify the blood. This is the natural process of giving strength and tone to the stom- ach, and it accounts for the speedy relief in stomach disorders that fol- low the use of Dr. WlUiamfi' Pink Pills. The appetite revives, food can be taken without discomfort and th* burden and pains of indigestion ar* dispelled. Miss MoIUe AverlU, Clan- willlam, Man., proves the value of these pills in cases of this kind. She says: "Some years ago I had a terribl* attack of stomach trouble. My stom- ach rejected all food and I could not even keep down a light custard. I tried some tablets recommended for dyspepsia, but they did not do me a particle of good. Then 1 got medicine from a doctor, but with no better re- sults. By this time 1 had changed from a robust, healthy girl to a com- plete skeleton, losing fiesh dally. Then my parents asked me to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and I began their use. After taking them for a short time I began to feel better and con- tinued the treatment until I was com- pletely restored to health. Since, on rare occasions when I have felt the need of a tonic, I turn to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they never disappoint me. Most members of our family have at some time taken the pills with good results, BO I now always recommend them to all in need of a reliable tonic." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mall at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockvllle, Ont. «, The Apple Crop.

The Egyptian S<»r.b. \ Of all lucky charms probably th* moat common Is the so-called "Egyp- tian" scarab. As a matter of fact, this beetle is found in plenty of other places besides Egypt, b«lng quit* eo<D- mon In the South of France and in North Africa. It is a burying beetle, with broad feet Ilka shovels and a head like a gar- den fork. It lays its eggs in a ball of refuse which it buries in the ground. It was only to the ancient Egyptian* that the scarab was the Bog of Im- mortality. They saw th* beetle bury the pellet; they saw th* young baotlles emerge ; and in the same fashion they \ burled their mummified dead, expect- ' ing that a new and glorified body would arise from the dust of the hu- j man mummy. The scarab, having thus become th* ' emblem of immortality, was copied In pottery, porcelain, jade and jasper. As many as three thousand of these copies have been found in one tomb. Even kings described diemselves as Beetles of the Sun God, and large and beautifully made scarabs are found in some royal mummies in the place of the human heart i If the praying mantis had been known In Old Egypt It might have been as sacred ss the scarab. The creature, which looks as if constructed out of dry sticks, baa a pair of front legs made tor grasping its prey, and holds them up folded together as if in prayer. It is the sacred Insect of the South African Bushmen. 4 Variety in London Walking.
