Tbe "Ua" or "o" alg- ntflaa "daacendamta" and "Morain" is the poasaaatre case of the given name "Moran," a tranlatlon of which would be "a mulUtada." The thoughts embodied In the orig- inal meaning of many of ttaeae C^tio glren n^mes are no mora difllcult of oomprehena4on than thoea which mark the ancieot Teutoolo or eren the He- brew namea. It la no more strange that anolant Qothlo parents should have aaaied a child "Multitude" than that attcient Gothic parents should hare named theirs "Resolute Helmet," which la ' the meaning of the name WUIlam. There wae, of course, a poetic or romantic aignifioance in the origin of all given names, in that dawn of human hiatory when men, not hav- ing names ready made for them aa to- day, had to invent tham.

Variations â€" Hofla> Hogua, Hooarth, Hogshaw, Hogman, Hoggart. Racial Originâ€" Middle English. Source â€" An animal. Ogden and the foregoing variations of this family name developed prob- ably through several different pro- cesses, but in all cases from the same source, the name of an animal, which unfortunately has a savory name with us to-day only when we thinK of it In connection with eating, namely, the hog. But if proof were necessary to es- tablish, that this ancient friend of man held an horored position in the lang- uage of the middle ages, it would be only necetssaxy to call attention to the great number of family names which have developed tram him. Indeed King Richard IH. was widely and willingly known as "Richard 1« Hog," and there's ma.ny a family among the no- bility of Europe wtilch proadly bean the boar upon its crest A boar, of course, is nothing but a hag, and though in modem tlmea It has taken on the meaning of "wild hog," no such distinction was made in He olden days. Ogden was originiJly spelled "de le Hogedene." The "dene" of those days was a sheltered depi«esion in the woods. The modem word la "den." Hoggart, and In some cases H<y garth comes from "le Hogeherde," "the herder of hogs"; though in other cases Hogarth traces back to "de la Hoga- Oarth," the word "garth"* being the progenitor of the modem word "yard," through a usual changing of the "g" to "y," and the "th," wblch was then pro- nounced "t," to a "d." A "s<diaw' was very similar to .a "dene." Hence Hogshaw. The varia- tions Hogg and Hogue undoubtedly de- veloped from the use of a picture of the animal by a merchant or inn-keep- er on the sign before his place of busi- ness. « Wlten the bright aide is out it not only looks wall bnt reflects the sun- â- hiaa.

THANKFUL MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little one she would uss nothing else. The Tablets give such results that the mother has no- thing but words of praise and thank- fulness for thMn. Among the thou»- ands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who wrltea: â€" "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience I would not be without them. I would urge every other mother to keep a box of the Tablets in the house." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach; drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers, or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., BrockvUle, Ont From a Lady Made Well by Dr. Williams' Pink PUls, "I wish from my heart I could per- suade every person who is run down in health to give Dr. WlUlama' Pink Pills a trial." Thus writes Mrs. Louie Mitchell, Oak Point, Man., who fur- ther says: â€" "About a year ago I was a weak woman, suffering from a lun down system and Impoverlabed blood. Any little exertion would cause my legs to tremble and my heart to throb violently. I could not sweep a room ' or walk fltty feet without being ex- , hausted. Then 1 began taking Dr. WIl- i liam^' Pink Pills and after taking only 6 boxes 1 am as well and strong a^ ever. 1 can walk and run without stopping every few seconds ga.'iplng for breath as previously. Dr. Williams' Pink i Pills will be my standby In the future If ever my blood needs building up again, and I shull always And plea- sure in recommending them to anyone needing a tonic." There aro many troubles due to weak, watery blood which can easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. The sole mission of this medicine is to enrich and purify the blood and when that is dune all the varied symptoms of anaemia dis- appear, and good health rr^-urns. You can get these plUa througl? any dealer In medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box by writing The Dr. WiUlams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont Writi^ WWTa "HiU"! How many people would associate the word "pencil" with a peak or a headland ? The word la derived from the nature of the districts where slate is quarried, for the earliest pencils on record were made from slate. The word "pen" de- notes a headland on the coast, or a peak in the country, and it is from these old rock formations that the ma- terial is quarried. In this way we find such names as Penrith, Penmaen- mawr, the Pennines, and Pensance, all of which have at one time or another been actively associated with the slate Industry. In the manufacture of the modem "lead" pencils, the plumbago from which the writing portion is made la alao quarried in these regions.

So did cur remote an- cestors, the tree worshippers. An authority on tsuch aiatrern wrote: "The remarkable similarity in customs all over Europe pniuts to the conclu- iton that tree-worahli) was an import- ant element lu the early religion of mankind, especially of the .Arvan stock, aud the singular u:i;furiii!fy of rites and (rerejnonic-.? which fan easily be shown to exist in wiiiely separated countries warrants \xf in believing they cannot have changed much from very remote ages ; and that the prac- tices continued down to a very recent period â€".s<»me even among ouraelves â€" were substantially Identical with the ritea and earemonles observed by Kgypttans, Etruscans, Greeks, and Ro- mans." The primitive belief was that spirits resided In trees. Without this basic Idea being entirely lost, there came the period of the Sacred Qroves and the Druids' Oakd. and then the dedication of certain sorts of treen to the earliest and atmpleet form of auper- sUtion. We touch wood to call the attention of the tree spirit to the tact that we recognize his influence in the good luck of which we boast, and in order that he may not feel slighted and change our good fortune into bad; at least, that is why our ancestors touched wood.
